36. there is a difference between stating your beliefs, convincing people to
change their viewpoints, and being unnecessarily rude and insulting, it is entirely possible to do the former w/out resorting to the latter, even if the latter lets you get rid of your own frustrations. It doesn't help the situation, it doesn't convert anyone or convince them their beliefs are incorrect, all it does is make them dig in their heels and completely tune you out.

So your choice....insult people and sabotage any chance of changing their beliefs by being rude, condescending and insulting...or open a respectful dialogue with them and possibly enlightening them and showing them that not all libs are rude, condescending and insulting..and helping the dems instead of harming them.
