TonyBlair doesn't converse with ideologues.
That's too bad. I would imagine that someone who is confident in his beliefs would be willing to engage in a reasonable discussion (without name calling). I guess this group is neither.
Our experiences here have shown us that "reasonable discussion" is not something ideologues bring to the table.
You see, we've had many people come and go on this website who are interested in "reasonable discussion," but without exception, it ends up in a "we'll just have to agree to disagree," despite the facts shown. And it just amounts to nothing more than a massive waste of time, or "mental masturbation" as some have called it. Sure, it can be fun, but it's just not productive.
Ask yourself: is there anything you could learn here that is likely to change your mind about anything substantive? My guess is you gave that question a solid "no." So what brings you here? Just to have a good fight? To sharpen your debating skills? To proselytize? We've been through it enough that most of us just aren't interested.
However, if you truly are interested in coming to a shared knowledge of what's right and proper for this country without the baggage of preconceived notions that hold no water, you
just may get some people interested in chatting with you.
But honestly, it doesn't look good for you. Here's why:
1. By making blanket statements about an entire group (i.e., "I guess this group is neither"), you are basing your opinion of an entire group upon your perception of one or two individuals. (Evidence of prejudice)
2. The picture you posted demonstrates that you have no problem lumping people you disagree with into a large pile that's easy for you to dismiss. (Evidence of discrimination)
But you are certainly welcome to try. It starts by knocking the chip of one's shoulder, setting aside the preconceptions about who we are, and keeping an open mind.
