I disagree. I think more often than not, the discussion kicks off that way.

We could look at a topic most of us probably largely agree on. When discussing gun control legislation, what is your reaction to someone who starts out telling you that because you own firearms and support the Second Amendment, you have the blood of children on your hands? Is it to give credibility to unfounded ignorance and respond with data and logic, or is it to make them look like the emotionally-driven, reactionary lunatic that they are?

If we want to be honest about it, there could probably be a check on the shite being flung at the outset. Then again, who among us is actually here for diverging views that are expressed in a productive manner?

I’m still looking for a Dem capable of rational thought.

Haven’t found one yet. They’re either extinct or a myth

Why? Because the Left just got dunked on by Clarence Thomas and they cannot deal. Yes, a conservative black man shattered their dreams because he refused to stay on the plantation, and now the Holy icon that was Roe v Wade has been obliterated.


What we're witnessing is the utter collapse of self-awareness as the Left put on a temper tantrum display which would embarrass most toddlers.

I have reassessed my opinion on a number of occasions based on what others have posted.

That being said, this is TD, not the school of Athens. I like having the ability to tell someone to go frick themselves.

Imho, a true discussion starts with intellectual honesty. If logic isn’t applied, then it is a narrative, not a discussion.

I give HHTM shite all of the time (deservedly so), but I see nothing wrong with this thread or the manner in which he presented it.

Pro-choice has always been pro-abortion. If they were really pro-choice, they would have fought the vaccines, too.

On anything significant? Good for you, if that's honestly the case. But, I suspect it was entirely small points that are ultimately meaningless.

Riiiight...which is why you generally shouldn't start the discussion with the assumption that someone you disagree with does so because they're wrong, a liberal, a cuck, etc. Yet, that's predominantly what we see too often.

The element of reasoned discussion which is most often lacking here is the ability to start the discussion with an open mind. I agree.

The second most lacking element is the ability, at the end of the discussion, to say “you know, that is an entirely reasonable assessment. I disagree with your conclusions, but I understand your position.”

Instead, we get childish little Endzone dances. You have parroted your side’s talking points! Cheering crowds of people who already agreed with you… Agree with you! Victory!

The problem with that is virtually every liberal position is emotion based.

The denizens of this forum are utterly convinced that I am a screaming liberal. Which of the positions that I have argued do you consider to be “emotion-based.”

I doubt this path was his choice. There's a reason he's a 'prolific voice actor' and not a marquee box office star, like Harrison Ford.

I'd say it's more that people who claim to be liberals are emotionally-driven. There are certainly logical and well-reasoned liberal positions.

So Luke Skywalker is mocking couples adopting children?

What would Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru think?

No one is mocking adoption. They are mocking the ghouls who want to restrict young pregnant women into full term pregnancies so they can take the child away at birth.

Of course many of the couples posting the memes aren't serious or they would adopt one of the many kids in foster care today. And the few that are serious would screen out 90% of the prospective women and drop them like a bad habit if a birth defect was identified.

These are the ghouls that loved China's one child law.

Still waiting. You are active on other threads, so we both know that you’ve seen this.

You claim to be logical and reasonable. Man up. This is the chance for the reasoned, logical discussion that you say you crave. LINK

Something a woman could have done two months ago doesn’t really address the problem she faces today.

Just sayin’

The left has shown that you can't give them an inch on anything. Appeasement didn't work against Hitler and it doesn't work against Marxists, either.
