I really would like to debate a conservative GOP as to what you guys would like to see happen in our country.

Won’t happen. It will devolve into the usual suspects - Mr. Brownstone, Marmee March, Sunsporter, and hippyjoe on the right and Graylight, spjennifer, and others on the left posting stupid memes and calling each other idiots. It’s so predictable that I posted a question on it yesterday.

@RedBaron What you fail to see is that the people you mentioned discriminate. In a good way. My personality says a lot about me; my attitude says a lot about you. I can debate at a graduate level those topics which are actually open for debate with evidence in fact. For those here just to pick a fight, ruffle feathers or take out their angst against some other faction, well, it's open season. Essentially you get exactly what you give.

@RedBaron spot on
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Torsten Oh, well, please.. elevate the conversation with legitimate debate and demonstrable evidence. Specifics and original thoughts. Any critical thinking at all. You haven't tried that route yet. You never know what will happen.

@Graylight tried that with you and got nothing in return. Never again. You're just a waste of time
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Torsten You haven't tried that with anyone.
Torsten · 36-40, M
@Graylight haha sure 😆
Graylight · 51-55, F
Torsten · 36-40, M
@Graylight maybe you want people to say such things
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Torsten No, and you know how I don't? Freeing my life of clutter in 3,2,...
Torsten · 36-40, M
@Graylight dont I? you just randomly put that up out of nowhere.. sure

@Graylight It doesn't matter what level you think you can debate at. You come across as a condescending and pedantic know-it-all, and you don't selectively choose your battles. You get on your high horse and wring your hands over every issue under the sun, several per day and dozens per week, which makes you sound shrill to the point that, speaking for myself, some if not many of us don't take you seriously and just tune you out.

@RedBaron Interesting but I have yet to see a cogent post by any of those Right Whingers you mention. I tailor my posts and my comments to the person I'm responding to, if they can't elucidate in any semblance of logic, then I respond so they are able to understand, 3 word responses and endless irrelevant Branco cartoons don't make for a normal conversation, sorry...
RedBaron · M
@spjennifer That's not the point here. Nobody thinks the other side's arguments are cogent, and that's why it always devolves and becomes pointless.

@RedBaron Kind of like your comment...
RedBaron · M
@spjennifer Or, more accurately, your prior comment.
