Political/Philosophical Evolution

[kellychaos]

I try to be open to opposing viewpoints but, depending on the tone and/or attitude, it's kind of hard to do at times in this forum. It seems like some of you lurk in the shadows with "baited breath" awaiting the first sign of opposition to your point of views ... jumping to conclusions about what other people think and probably not even reading their whole thread. It's like some people pigeon-hole someone into the enemy category seeing it as "black and white" when there are truly a lot of grays. My advice to some of you is to slow down long enough to read all of someone else's comments, aborb the information, the tone, the attitude, ect before pouncing on them in an attempt to body slam them. I find I'm more influenced by an intelligent dialogue wherein point-counterpoint arguments are made rather than an "insult fest". Just sayin' :/
