The point here for me is to learn, and I do learn from the most stubborn right wingers. I had a post a while back where I outlined global warming denialist arguments. I learned the arguments on a right wing blog arguing with people that will never see the light. I don't need them to change. I just need them to throw what they think are their toughest arguments at me. This will prompt me to research and learn.<br /><br />Some people can become pointless. Some people just can't do anything but reply to me in a straw man fashion. When my critics can't comprehend what I'm arguing they can't give me constructive feedback, and at that point it's pointless.<br /><br />Some of my critics may have changed their opinions on some things thanks to my arguments, and that's great if it happens. But the important think is that they have helped changed my opinions, and that is really the point here.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530680372103907969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899606766246433608.post-61199599850371943762012-08-16T22:36:11.473-04:002012-08-16T22:36:11.473-04:00Jon -

Or do you think you there is always an opportunity for constructive discussion?Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14278834635241999491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899606766246433608.post-37816213080215201172012-08-16T12:52:32.210-04:002012-08-16T12:52:32.210-04:00Biden will cackle gaffes whether he's on a sho...Biden will cackle gaffes whether he's on a short leash or not. He happens to be one of those kind of guys. I can see him being the life of a party, a guy who'd be fun to hang out with.Rattrapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09848063025913868226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899606766246433608.post-35900171119174108992012-08-15T20:09:19.045-04:002012-08-15T20:09:19.045-04:00Biden should be on a shorter leash (a choker) and ...Biden should be on a shorter leash (a choker) and his handlers should have tasers,with comments like that.
