General question. What is there left on this forum to do other than mocking those that disagree with you?
The battle lines are drawn, and have been for at least a decade.
In the ethics forum, it's pro life vs. pro choice, gay marriage defenders versus traditional marriage defenders and pro free love versus pro sexual morality.
In the politics forum, it's liberals versus conservatives, democrats versus republicans and pro-Trump versus anti-Trump.
In the news forum, it's just like the politics forum, with tolerance for islam and gun rights thrown into the mix, unless some person dies in a preventable desaster, where everyone claims sadness and then moves on to use it for his or her favorite talking point.
And in the Science and Evolution forums, it's all about evolution versus creation, global warming versus global warming scepticism and (insanely enough) flat earth versus round earth.
When has anyone on this forum learned anything, or changed his opinion, or even learned a new and exciting point to support his existing views? Rarely, I think.
So really, what is left to do on this forum other than feeling superior to the people on the other side of your ideological barbed wire?
