A question: Why are you here?

[Mister D]

Few minds are changed because ultimately few minds are actually involved. Most positions are held emotionally. Reasoning is, in many cases, post facto.

I am late to this discussion but I think experience in these types of Forums for over 20 years counts as something.


For the most part I gave up on changing the minds of most people long ago. And God forbid I don't consider myself an "Influencer" like some fool 20 year old with a following on Twitter!

Part of it is to learn something. I often encounter stories and threads about subjects I hear little or nothing about in the news. So you guys are like extra eyes and ears in that respect. I also enjoy debating with people in ways I cannot in real life surrounded by SoCal intolerant lefties who call themselves "Liberals" when most of them clearly are not.

I have been around a long time as well and seek real discussion. I also learn things.
I have been called a lib and a right winger and much inbetween.
I talked about the donkephant and the sameness of the two major parties before it was common to do so
I have warned others, to no real avail of course, where divisionism was taking us and now here we are and they still don't see.

I’m here to make fun of trump and his followers. And like others have said, because @Cotton1 promised me beer and $#@!s.

That's an entire case of beer for you my friend

A fence straddler. No wonder I tolerate you
