OMG - I think I agree with MaggieL on something

I wouldn't be surprised -- the two of you have more differences in degree, I think, than of kind.

And it take a big man to admit it. Congratulations, you've taken the first step. :cool:

Yep, too bad it'll never happen the other way...

I not infrequently agree with xoxoxoBruce. and evidently I'm in agreement with yesman on this point. I even have agreed-admittedly rarely-with tw.

To be shocked that you could *ever* agree with someone about *anything* is an indication that conflict is no longer about issues, and has become personal.

MaggieL, Personal? My statement was more a figure of speech than anything, but I suppose you are right. I enjoy discussing the issues and have learned a great deal here. Interacting and exchanging thoughts, views and opinions with others who have opposing views is the best way learn and understand said view.
That being said, there are times where neither individual will yield their point or opinion, an agreement cannot be reached and an "agree to disagree" position may be the best option. You and I for example, I respect your position on gun control, although I do not totally agree with you. Thats fine with me. Hell, if we all thought the same thing there would very little discussion here, right?
