The point of an argument isn't necessarily to change someones perspective or opinion, what's wrong with sharing it in a constructive manner?
I might lean toward the majority of Liberal opinions on the political forum but at least I can agree to disagree. Ever heard of the word 'priorities'? Much like hydrizzles deal with the Liberals, the Republicans on this site used to irritate the shit out of me to the point it was just depressing, then I toked a joint and simply thought 'well why not?'

I don't agree with most of Torog's, Amsterdam's, Hydrizzle's opinions (etc) but I can still see where they are coming from. The dumbest thing I can do is get my tutu in a tangle because someone doesn't share my opinion. The most intelligent thing I can do is embrace and consider it.

The very, VERY least I can do is run away in a little girls tantrum reassuring myself i'm right and everyone else is wrong. Luckily i'm smarter then that...
Howdy BB,

Excellent ! There may be hope for you yet !

Believe it or not,I do mostly listen to the other side's opinions..and try to understand whether or not,I'm wrong..I believe that God works in mysterious ways and that He sometimes delivers messages through us..therefore..it's prudent of me,to try and discern if there's a possible message being delivered to me,even if it comes from my detractors.

By discussing the issues with each other,we also define our beliefs and what we stand for..something which is often not tested and is often put on the 'back-burner'..defining ourselves,is also a maturation process,as well.

Have a good one !
