however, there are people here that i have seen you attack that are willing to discuss issues in some sort of a reasonable manner..
i dont waste my time calling people out, but once in a while i will just make some ridiculous post to get their goat or get them heated..
this method is way more fun than trying to have a conversation with someone that will just never get it..
vendzilla is like this. you are never going to change that guys mind about anything that he has seen on fox news. to him its gospel..

calling a person stupid in a thread every now and then is ok and usually pretty funny when deserved, but go back and look at your posts... you have a history of doing this to any person that doesnt agree with you..

This simply isn't true. I've disagreed with conservatives on this forum many times. I've disagreed with dy na mo and Kane many times. But unlike the rest of the people on here, they're able to back their points up logically, and I don't have to insult them.

and who are you to decide what is logical and what is not.. sometimes logic has nothing to do with it. there are people that are against this building that are smart and dont have a racist bone in their body, but maybe their whole family was destroyed on 911 and no matter what you preach to them or whatever valid argument you have, they are never going to change their mind.

Please, not with the generic "who are you to..." argument. This gets debunked time and time again. Logic is logic. There are logical reasons that support the building of the center, and logical reasons opposing it. One with the ability to debate logically has more credibility on
logic than one who is an idiot.

does that make them a racist or not logical? i think it does not. they just have outside factors that influence their ideas..

You should definitely preach this to coup, who calls someone a racist or a bigot if they don't agree with his stupidity.

anyway, this is a message board and i'm sure you dont act like this with your friends or in public when having conversations with people that dont share your same opinions...

I don't because my friends happen to be college educated and intelligent, and even some liberals can come up with valid arguments. To me though, it's like finding a needle in a haystack.
