I believe what I believe because I've looked at all the facts and information I'm aware of at the time. I am fully aware that new information may change my opinion and I welcome that. I accept that another individual can look at the same data and come to a different opinion because that info is filtered through their experiences and value system, I only become irritable when that person announces that anyone who feels differently than they is an idiot worthy of death.
It also infuriates me when someone enters a discussion without an open mind to the possibility that they cannot possibly be wrong on any issue. That causes their posts/arguments to be completely onesided screeds rather than discussions for the purpose of learning.
