Obviously, you never change anyone's mind by opposing and attacking them.   All you do is back them into a corner and make them defensive.  There's an old saying, "No one ever wins an argument."  

I think if we're ever going to overcome the polarization in this country, we have to be willing to engage each other in a polite, open-minded way.  I don't mean that you have to try to adopt the other person's viewpoint.  What I mean by "open-minded" is that we give the other person credit for sincerity, and try to understand why they feel the way they do.

Unfortunately, technology has irrevocably changed that. We can now anonymously denigrate someone from the palm of our hand, from anywhere in the world. We are provided the tool to attack, and echo chamber safe spaces in which to retreat, at the touch of a finger. The art of debate and the spirit of magnanimity are forever lost. Snot face.

Whatever, puke face.

The thing I like about him is he never seems to expects us to agree with him. I think everybody wants to be liked or at least tolerated, but sometimes I wonder with him. Cool
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.

I dont care if you agree with me, you have every right to be wrong. We'd probably get on well if we just went drinking at the local hole, the nature of the internet often breeds friction.

Is it time to shutdown this moronic thread yet? Can’t believe 4-pages dedicated to the squirmy works of a message board poster.

You settle down over there.  Don't let the title fool you this thread is really about FSG.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

I think we have all butted heads with him at some point in time over the years.  He never takes it seriously nor holds a grudge.  It must be working for flsprtsgod, look at his rating.

Ha this thread went all over the place. Which is pretty darn cool. I was trying to get to the point of claiming if you pull the Blue lever, or the Red lever ... You aren't in the middle, you are a lefty, or righty. I have another thread idea. One that will most likely flop.
