Capitalism Rules, Socialism and Communism Suck Thread

There's no point talking to them Jack. They're not interested in having an open discussion (well at least the two T.I.'s aren't), they just want to turn every thread into a right-wing circle jerk where anyone who doesn't share their views gets heaped with scorn until they decide life's too short. At that point they feel good because it makes them think they've somehow 'won' the argument.

See, the problem isn't only that they think they invariably know what's right and you don't. Everyone is guilty of that to some extent. The problem is they lack any willingness to appreciate the shades of grey in any complicated topic (again just speaking about the 2/3 T.I. population here). It's just so much easier to view the world in black/white, right/wrong terms. Because when they do that they can immediately dismiss any alternative views as [insert derogatory words here], and take out their inner frustrations at being part of a marginalised minority of reactionary thinkers on people who have too much dignity to stoop to their level of toxic discourse.

You can have a solid point or a solid argument, it doesn't matter. They're not here to listen and discuss things in an open manner that shows any respect for anyone else's viewpoint, they're here to do just the opposite - not listen, not discuss things openly, and not respect people.

False. You just don't realize it because you don't have any solid points or arguments. At least not in the last week or so. All you've been spouting is partisan, tinfoil induced drivel about an enormously credentialed doctor being a liar based on absolutely no evidence other than the fact that he didn't shit all over your most hated politician.

Surely you can't expect to be respected for so staunchly advocating such a position. And if you truly feel that you've made valid points, cogent arguments, and provided compelling data as to why the doctor shouldn't be trusted.....then not only are you a partisan whine-bag, but you're also hopelessly delusional.
