Wake up?

I keep returning to this board in the hopes that there will be some intellectual, thoughtful dialogue going on...And I am always so disappointed.


I think so many of you who post here are really smart and insightful, and have a lot of great things to say...But I'm just wondering when an intelligent conversation is going to take place.


I'm really not trying to be offensive, but it just seems that someone poses a question or a thought, and then it's off to the races about how much op-ed 'evidence' and partisan subjectivity one can possibly squeeze into a post.


Is there no one here, besides me, who believes in analyzing BOTH candidates with the same critical eye, and then moving forward with discussion that leads to some kind of thoughtful debate?


I keep saying this, and no one replies to me.  But I believe it's important enough to keep nagging about....And so, I will.

No problem dr_cox. It's always good to see someone post an apology, when they are proven wrong ;-)

I really appreciate your thoughtful responses - I'm glad that you listen and also reply in a way which shows you've heard.


The problem with "ripping up the checks" is that the checks are Intended (of course, intended being the operative word) to pay for basic needs.

Why are you refusing so whole-heartedly to ignore the parts of my posts where I continually, even nagging-ly say that I think Everyone who is extreme is crazy, in some small or large way.
