OT: Why do I even try? You deliberately misunderstand or misconstrue every point I make to push forward your ideological agenda.

I believe in science; You are so ideologically constrained you end up being anti-science.

All my life I have had friends from the other side of the political spectrum, indeed valued those friendships because we could have great debates where we actually listened to each other and (gasp!) sometimes changed people's minds.

But since these days right-wingers start with conclusions and reject everything that doesn't support their predetermined conclusion there is no room for debate or changing people's minds. All that is left is ritual posturing like the Indian and Pakistani border guards trying to outdo each other.

I have no problem changing my mind when new information and situations arise. When was the last time you actually changed your position on something to the 'other side'?

BYW, there have been a number of studies carried out confirming that when confronted with facts that don't confirm their ideology, right wingers tend to ignore those facts while left wingers tend to change their ideas.
