Small degrees of separation that feed off of each other.

Hate is hate.
I liked this.

You dont attempt to lie your away out of them or make a feeble attempt to recast them as meaning something other than what was intended... or go whining to the mods that you're being picked on.

Yea, I could basically give a fuck what anyone thinks about my position on issues.

I guess in the hope that there will be a legitimate exchange of ideas and to hear what others think about any issues. I have modified many of my thoughts and views since posting on this forum. It is healthy. I respect many of the posters on this site for their contrary views and ideas. It can only be a good thing to keep expanding and exploring thoughts and ideas that I may find contrary. No cost.

Why not? Should anyone not post because the feel their opinion won't be accepted? That's crazy talk. Should you post your opinion with the intention of winning people over to your side? Good luck with that. All opinions are welcome, even abrasive ones. The more everyone knows, not only facts and figures, but how other real people feel about issues, the better they're prepared to deal with the world.

Maybe I misunderstood. To me this sounds like you do care.

He cares what others say because it's enriching... doesn't lose sleep over what people think of what he says, just throws it on the pile with the rest.

100% completely correct. It is not that I don't care or completely discard what others say, only that I don't really care about what others think about what I say or think. I have been around the world to many situations and many places that most people will never go or never have the chance to experience, I place value on MOST but not all, of others experiences and perspectives. But it does not mean that I either placate or facilitate those views. They are just other views, just like mine, some are filed, some are dissected, many are just discarded. I don't think most people on here treat me with even that much respect or consideration.

No we don't. The manner in which you present your ideas drives those of us who could agree with some of them away. The hate, the anger, the lack of humanity buries your ideas completely. If your intention here is to pull others to your position you are failing because you don't express your position in terms of what would be good and how it would be good, but only in reaction to the bad which is already obvious to all but the most ardent left-wing believers.
