Exactly. On those topics, noone's gonna change my mind and I'm not gonna change theirs (and as Pea has suggested, most things are rarely as black or white as they seem, so any "strong" opinions I have have been arrived at only after trying to see both sides of the argument), so why get into a cyber slugfest? That's not what I come here for. If I lose "respect" because I won't easily be drawn into a pissing contest, oh well.christie1111 wrote:I guess I see a big difference between WGAS and not wanting to get into 'discussions' of my personal views on a message board.
Being someone who would rather hang out and cook in the Moratorium Lounge, doesn't mean I don't care or don't have strong opinions. I have carefully thought out my opinions on things like abortion and who I am voting for. I am just not in the least bit interested in getting into unpleasant shouting matches and name calling that has sometimes occured in the political threads.
