suggested (jokingly) a separate thread for these arguments because they're exercises in futility and pure political homerism. And you come back with... pure political homerism. Surprise surprise. Debating politics around here is like exercising the mental muscle w/ a half-pound weight, the gains don't justify time/effort spent.
Holy cow, thats one of the most arrogant statements that I've ever read. You might as well have called everyone who dosen't agree with your point of view idiots.

Arrogant to assume that people aren't here to have their minds changed?
Are you honestly perusing opposing points of view, ready to change your mind? I doubt it. Just like most people here, you stick around to put out your point of view and defend it, not to get converted.
Have you honestly witnessed someone do an about-face on their political ideology here as a result of this left/right personal bashing?
I guess I'm arrogant to think that some of this is a waste of time, when its obviously a pure exercise in the exchange of ideas. Whatever.
