Sigh. The only thing anyone has ever meant by "seeing the point of view of others" is forcing them to drop their perception of evil. Because if evil is perceived, then, automatically, "not seeing the others point of view" is claimed as all but proven.
Not to mention it is also a call to ignore what someone has actually done, or is actually doing, which also clearly shows their "point of view" to be evil, when, to take a wild example, they actually commit evil acts.
"Leaning Right"? LOL, only for appearance, because your feet are firmly planted on the left. You're only leaning in order to whisper sweet FUD into conservative ears.
Because you're so "honest."
I can tell, because I've taken the time to see things from your point of view, historically speaking. And then I compared my revulsion at the carnage of hundreds of millions of murdered bodies, with your enthusiasm to try it yet again and keep calling it "peace."
I will put aside your personal attacks against me, because you are absolutely right about the above. That's why I noted in my post #28 that seeing another's point of view must be done properly.
As you noted, many folks use "point of view" arguments to reinforce their preconceived notions of retreat or disengagement.
But it is also an error to ignore the point of view of a potential (or actual) adversary. That is valuable information, if used wisely.
