It's waste of time. you know, arguments about politics in internet discussions are like paralympics - even if you win you're still retarded. I avoid it as i can cos it's waste of energy. It sucks my blood and pisses me off. Only place where it's vital to express your political opinion is poll station, by throwing your ballot into the box.
All I can say is that I have often changed my opinions from talking to people I disagree with, but respect.
Anyone who can construct a coherent argument without name calling is worth listening to IMO, and their arguments worth considering. Sometimes the result is that I become more sure about my original opinion, defending it helps me make my argument stronger, and sometimes I realise there is a gap in my argument, and I update my opinions to reflect my new, better understanding of the situation.
Maybe I'm a freak of nature, but I don't think so, because I've met similar people on this very board!
