I see. When YOU "consider" another viewpoint and disagree, it's considered progressive. When I "consider" another viewpoint and disagree, I just don't "have an open mind to consider why you feel the way you do."Grizalltheway wrote: The thing is, you DON'T actually consider them. You immediately dismiss the above posters and me as losers who have never had a real job or done anything for themselves. I like to give you, Tman and native shit, but I at least have an open enough mind to consider why you feel the way you do. The same can't be said of you fellas.
Dude, you REALLY ought to read what you type before you hit that little "submit" button.
I have "considered" MANY different viewpoints on this board....and have in fact changed my position on several key "conk" talking points after hearing lucid, factual explanations from the other side (offshore drilling, same sex marriage, stem cell research are three that immediately come to mind). But, I will NOT change my opinion on a subject just because you FEEL a certain way about it.
When you make up data, when you cherry pick data to fit your preconceived conclusions, when you sell out for the money....you HAVE poisoned the well (despite all of D's blathering to the contrary). You show me a study that PROVES man-made global warming, and I'll show you a study that's flawed, and follow the money back to groups with an agenda. That ain't science, man, that's propoganda. And to claim (and actually BELIEVE) that that shit only happens on ONE side of the aisle is naive at best and dangerous at worst.
