good debate pushes buttons because when the arguments make sense they threaten our views.
Nah. Its the senselessness and limited understanding that I find button-pushing- The lack of sensible debate. That, coupled with the self-righteousness of your proselytizing- like you're reading from a tract. Plenty of people around here with views drastically different from my own, but they make their cases well, and I respect that.

don't worry, I've been called a lot worse by a lot more threatened.
Well then....I'm glad? I would say I was more intolerant than ever threatened.

You say schools should teach only FACTS but not facts like global warming. Hmm. Why don't you want your son to learn,to read, write, or calculate about recycling? Wouldnt that action help assuage fear, rather than ignoring or denying the problem? Or sex ed? I just dont get the threat. Is the evil agenda you mention wanting to prepare your kid to be responsible for his own consumption of resources, or preparing him to live by not contracting a STD, or preparing him to not hang himself if he's called a "fag"?
You're the one who pointed out that knowledge is power.
