This guy is something else.
I understand what you are trying to get at, but talking about our similarities just means things stay the same. If you don't discuss your differences, you don't make progress.Superbone wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 12:00 amWhy do you guys even try? Listen to yourselves. Obviously, nobody here is EVER going to change each other's opinions. Especially when they are so drastically different. All it results in is fighting amongst yourselves. If this country is ever going to heal, people are going to have to talk to each other like real human beings and talk about their similarities more than their differences.
Going after each other will never accomplish anything.
I get and agree with your last sentence.

When I see people promoting propaganda designed to undermine the country I live in, I speak out on it. I can't just sit idly by and watch it happen.
I am not expecting In2 to see what I am saying. That doesn't mean I am going to stop pointing out falsehood and inaccuracies.Superbone wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 9:27 amI get and agree with your last sentence.

Yes, more or less this for me, too. And what I am seeing scares me shitless.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 9:56 amI get what Bone is trying to say. Myself, I try not to write too many long posts debating or debunking stuff I don't agree with. If I want to make a point of disagreement like that, I try my best to make it briefly and move on, or just make a gentle joke about it. I don't always succeed in that, but I think Bone is right that devoting paragraph after paragraph trying to debate and argue with each other doesn't really get anywhere.
For me I mostly post in here to hear what others are saying and thinking and to keep a bit better informed. I don't mind the posts from folks on the other side of the political spectrum from me because at least it keeps me clued in to what the other side is saying. It's always helpful to hear each other's perspective, even if you think the other guy is off his rocker.![]()
