"So... strat by example. Can you find a common ground with me? I will try to find one with you. Go ahead and start."
lilbabyleg, i'm glad you see where i'm coming from. i was beginning to think that people read the first paragraph of my thread and started telling me that there's nothing wrong with discussing politics on here. those responses are proof that my point didn't come accross well. which is frustrating, because it's a perfect example of what i'm talking about.
let me state this more clearly. i have NOTHING against war/political threads. they are fine. but i have yet to see a good percentage of you engage in a CONSTRUCTIVE debate. within the first 15 posts they all go to pot. and you wonder why NT deletes them.
"maybe your continually told that the issues are to complex so you wont play a part in politics."
no, lowimpakt, i understand the complexity of issues as you do: "Of course there is no simple answer to political issues"."you should be critical of your own views and seek to educate yourself. dont be afraid of not understanding and dont be offended if someone doesnt agree with you." lowimpakt, i agree with this, and this is not a problem i am having.
"And by people continually ignoring the issue and having inane conversations about predominantly bad design or brainless mac vs pc conversations then nothing will ever change." again, please re-read my post or have me elaborate. you just went on and on about something that i totally agree with. are you getting my point yet?
"If you dont want to read/participate in the posts, leave as they are, simple, no?" BXCAR, i agree, however, i just thought i'd point out something that i saw that was taking these conversations nowhere but to the extremes of getting flagged and just creating tension between people. buy you're probably right, i should just have kept my nose out of it. or would that be a sign of apathy?
"If you DON't feel you have the ability to make informed comment it doesn't mean you can't participate though as it is often through discussion that we can learn." cookie, i agree, but it's 'uninformed' people that are immediatley tagged as 'brainwashed' and who's arguments are automatically thrown out the window with a load of insults toward them. is this what it means to engage in intellectual conversation? if so, count me out.
"in this light I don't get your point." this isn't the first time today that's happened. ;)
