What have we learned here?

(And that those types exist in all opinion camps.)
We've learned -- as though we'd forgotten -- that some folks don't like to be called dupes, fools and liars for making the choices that they've made (whatever they are), particularly when they fit into the group above that has logically consistent rationales for their choices and can explain them.
And we've learned that some folks have what seems to amount to a compulsion to trumpet their particular worldview (of the moment) as the only correct view and further that they believe anyone who holds a contrary view is intellectually, ethically, and morally deficient.
Have I missed anything that makes this thread so great? |
Like I said before, this is a great post MINUS, the insults. I agree with you in that the name calling is foolish, and a waste of time.
However, if you take the insults away, you are left with a discussion of opposing ideas, and I like a good discussion of opposing ideas in a topic that interests me; helps me to clarify/re-access the truth and how I look at things.
The truth is that a good discussion of opposing ideas, is almost a completely lost art. And this is probably where we agree with each other; Most people feel threatened by ideas that contradict their own, and run the other way demonizing the opposing side to their own views. This shows at either the weakness of their views or the weakness of their minds ability to defend, intellectually, their position.
That's why I said this is a great post minus the insults, it is great to discuss/argue ideas from differing points of view. If only we could learn to have a little class while doing this.
