Let's have a conversation

[konradv]

I can poke some holes in that theory.

But you didn’t!

 

[BackAgain]

I was not accusing you specifically, just the brain dead reactionaries that exist on BOTH sides of the political spectrum.

It’s ok. I didn’t assume you meant me at all.

I just noted my own position as a for instance. It is worth observing that we don’t think in lockstep. Some of us agree with with things while others disagree on those things.

The strength of conservatives comes from the ability and willingness to accept the notion that we are moved by a common philosophy. Discreet details are bound to allow a variety of views.

I've watched several videos of Kirk's "conversations" over the last few days.

They are the standard "I'm 100% right, you're 100% wrong" crap coming from both him and the liberal.

That's a debate, not a conversation. Nothing constructive is created in debates like that. No common ground or new ideas come from that. Kirk was just another hardcore partisan ideologue. Both ends have plenty of them.

How often do you argue when you’re not convinced yourself that you’re right?

How often do you argue when you’re not convinced yourself that you’re right?

I never argue with people. But I do have conversations with people. Typically, I will ask more questions than the other person, especially if they have a different point of view. Often, we both learn something we didn't know before, or at least we get a new perspective that makes us think a bit.

That's how many adults communicate during their day. True story.

Nonsense. I’ve observed over a few years that it isn’t discussion you ever seek.

Don’t talk about how adults are supposed to speak since you lack first hand experience at such things.

I was talking about real life, Einstein.

Never mind. I've confused you again. Sorry.

 

[MarathonMike]

I'm shocked, but I do think you're right. I guarantee SOME on the right, if he were assassinated, would react with 'good riddance' or worse.

And that right there is one of our biggest problems. Smearing ALL with the words or actions of a FEW. That has to stop if we are to become less divided.

So when you’re posting you’re posting in fantasy life?

Life itself confuses you, gerbil boi.

OP, you don't know the reason why Charlie got shot.

Why don't you just wait until all the facts come out instead of ginning up more hatred and fear?

Unless, that's exactly what you want to do against your perceived opponents.

 

[BackAgain]

OP, you don't know the reason why Charlie got shot.

Lol.

Bullshit.

Everyone knows. Even you. The difference is, you will not admit it.

I think we all look at evidence and common sense/ logic.

but we do.

 

[MarcATL]

but we do.

There hasn't been a trial yet.

How do you know?

 

[Ghost of a Rider]

MAGA lies.

What, exactly, was the lie?

 

[TemplarKormac]

The deification of Charlie Kirk is going to be on the mid-term ballot?! I’d be more worried about the effects of Trump’s increased authoritarianism.

You have sadly underestimated how much your side has miscalculated on this culture issue.

But you insist on deflecting to deflecting. (Not a typo).

 

[frigidweirdo]

Hasn't the left proved their stance on Charlie frigid one?

Did you understand NOTHING of what I said?

I cannot sate your paranoia.

WWE-style memorial services are a culture?!

 

[BackAgain]

Agreed. But it’s always nuanced because of our own beliefs and experiences.

For example, I am in awe of the Founders and the Framers. Literally. However, that still leaves open for some disagreements about many areas of what they tried to accomplish versus how it has worked out.

I see reason to believe that it was a remarkable conglomeration of men who gathered together in Philly back during the days prior to and during the time of the drafting of our Declaration of Independence and at the time they cobbled together our Constitution. I wonder if any group today could match the magnificence of what they discussed and did.

It looks to me and to many others that the Declaration and our Constitution were inspired by the Hand of God. That doesn’t mean that God did the drafting, either.

I do believe that it’s up to us, today, now, to proceed along those very lines.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

No. I'm not banning anyone.


Now get back on topic, both of you, before I remove you from the thread. Only warning.

Liar.
