Why bother trying, Linda? These people are all True Believers. Their idea of a discussion is to just keep pumping each other up. Anyone expressing something different can depend on some name-calling.

As opposed to your idea of discussion, which is to chime in on threads and make oh-so-substantive posts like this one....

I just love the "no one wants to discuss anything seriously they just make empty posts" form of empty post. The irony :)

You mean I actually have a supporter here at FR? Yes, they (freepers) have one mind and that is the bush agenda. I voted for bush, thought he could straighten this country out after 8 years of clinton but I have the good sense to see bush and co. for the world domineering warmongers they are. Thanks for your input.

Not a lot of "pumping each other up" on this thread, Seti, but a lot of facts and logic.

However, I notice that your idea of discussion is posting and running away.

This is Free Republic. What you describe to Linda happens on Democratic Underground, not here. You are free to say whatever you like without being cut off, but you have to be able to defend it with fact, logic and reason. You people were wrong about the plan, the aftermath, and will be wrong at the end of this thing, again. That is what prompted the responses to Linda. If you want one sided discussions where you are not free to present a different opinion, try democratic underground.
