....People should join a politics forum if they want to wax philosophic on their ideology.
Actually, if one were on some generic political forum, how'd they ever read the facts about how a fellow 'shooter' waxes philosophic on a double gun forum?
You know, if i walk down to the local pub for a little social interaction, I would be joining a group of people who, by their presence in the pub, demonstrate a clear interest in beer. And we might talk about light and dark beers, lagers and ales, hops and clear spring waters. But it's highly likely our shared interest in beer would lead to conversations on a wide ranging assortment of other topics.
I view it the same here. Nothing wrong with being able to cover a wide variety of subjects, including politics. And, like in the pub, IMHO, when two people can't agreed to disagree, they should "take it outside". But I have no interest, as I wouldn't in the pub, in trying to silence those who I disagree with or not allow them in in the first place. Free speech is exactly that. Free speech. (Yes I know this is a private forum owned by Dave but I'm sure you get my point).
Frankly, I'm not really interested in talking endlessly with people who think in lockstep with me. It's boring. Kinda like the difference between normal relations with a woman or masturbation. I'll take the woman every time.
