Arguing in this forum really is futile
Published study: pointing out factual errors in people's beliefs may actually make them MORE likely to continue believing

I'm sure this happens on both sides. I have about half a dozen ultraliberal friends on my Facebook feed who think that Palestinians can do no wrong, and Israel can do no right. They also tend to be the same people who post about GMO and got super worked up about Trayvon Martin, like it was some seminal moment in history. Although I admit I don't know anyone stupid enough to be anti-vaccine. Or at least they don't admit it. I think Carl Sagan can say it a lot better than me: ![]() ![]() Last edited by suzzer99; 07-27-2014 at 02:23 PM.. |

Except that I actually cite things and post evidence sometimes. Whereas you just seem to regurgitate garbled talking points.

I posted a poll showing a majority of Americans don't agree with your assertions about Obamacare.

Again, you're no different than what the op is trying to poorly point out. Which makes it even more funny. |

Right back at you. I'm far from partisan. I call out liberal BS all the time. I voted for Arnie and would vote for the right republican for president. I don't believe in this us-against-them political tribalism that seems to have infected about 90% of people who actually care about politics.
I just have strong opinions when I see utter political bullshit, which republicans seem to have a lot of right now. I also don't seem to be treading down the middle on this forum, because it leans so heavily conservative. On the political forum on the poker site I hang out on I'm pretty much middle-of-the-road. What that article made me think about though, is that maybe I am a little too emotional with my positions. Maybe I feel like the sky is falling too much when I see a chunk of society holding a belief I consider to be completely wrong. This emotion is planted by the powers-that-be because it keeps us distracted while they rob us blind. Maybe I'm guilty of tribalism sometimes too. But I'm trying to identify and correct that.

You're a partisan if you use left versus right over republican vs democrat.

Well yeah, admitting you're wrong isn't the norm of the internet. I've accepted debating on here is more or less a dick waving contest rather than a discussion of some merit or value.

Arguing is just one of many things that are futile in this forum.
