Reply #10: Thank you [View All]

When I first posted, I was trying to answer the incoming replies, scratching my head and wondering what exactly they were reading (or not reading, rather) that the replies veered so far off of I was trying to say and specifically, what I really didn't say.

What I find interesting is that Democratic Underground is a very apt name for this website, as it shows precisely how the democratic process defined by our Constitution is being buried as we speak.

Liberals can be just as staunchly conservative in their views as their most ardent right wing opponents. I know I can, myself, be guilty of it, and so I always try to see every aspect (no doubt pulling too many strings to stand on one point as you can see in my last two posts)so I can try to understand why, wherefore, and how it can be resolved.

Long threads of 3-4 insults, jibes, I just don't understand. I would think there would be perhaps, 3-5 general discussion points that people debated, really tried to consider the every point of view, and actually spoke to each other.

What is the point of asserting your rights to free speech and expression if one is so careless in regards to what and how, or if they refuse to listen and consider anyone else's right?
