That's part of the charm of the place.

What, the arguing like cats and dogs?..........;)

Personally, I find,

Poster 1: You guys are all correct.

Poster 2: I think you are right, poster 1...

Poster 3: I think you guys are both right

.....a little boring.........

To be honest with you, a political forum without significant dissent, is not only boring, but also will not long survive.

That is what draws people.

And that's why (IMHO) FR has been so successful.

Libertarians and Conservatives are the dominant political forces represented here.

They are just close enough in their fundamental philosophical advocacies to coexist without killing one another, and just far enough away in outlook to make for some lively discussion.

There are some who simply can't stand the idea that dissent is tolerated in ANY capacity, and so they bitch about it. But I think your observation is spot-on.

If people came here to say, "me too" all day long, the interest would wane quite quickly.
