Thanks guys. What I actually learned is not to throw something out without leading someone through the process that leads me to believe that idea. From my experience here, people can respect or at least understand a person's position without embracing it themselves, IF, it's presented well.
There are people here that are convinced that they are right , and will defend themselves to the end. That's fine, I'm not hoping to change their minds. My goal is to present the other side of the argument through my eyes and experiences and to learn about others as well.
The common practice among like minded people is to avoid using supporting info. After all, they all read (pick your choice of any book or publication ) and anyone who has read that knows they are correct on any given issue. If you are truly interested in diversity of thought you must realize that everyone has had a very different backgound. If you logically support an idea or philosophy, it should be pretty easy to make a case for it. That's what I try to do now, and encourage others to do also. There are so many things all of you say that sound to me like chalk screeching on a chalkboard. I couldnt possibly reply rationally without a staff, so I just don't reply.
The whole Cellar "thing" isnt about just debate either. There are some very creative and funny people in this membership. I've learned a lot and had some really good laughs.<br><br>
And....anytime you use the word "spew", you
know I'm going to attach <a href="http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/21b7c626/bc/spew.wav?bcTsV99AmQhAsQVg">this clip </a> to it.
