You know, you're right. Why try to communicate with others that don't share your view. They won't listen anyway.

Having an engaging TV personality, and being popular at parties is a great deal of the problem. Such people find themselves unable to choose their friends.

Ornery cranky curmudgeons who let nothing pass by and don't care a fig for the opinions of others are a great deal of the solution.

It's something called integrity. You may not be able to comprehend this.
