Why, oh why, do I argue with "them"...

[wtmusic]

It:

1) Elevates my blood pressure;
2) Accomplishes nothing or little;
3) Puts me in a foul mood

So many stupid, scared people, who don't even have the courage to admit they're ignorant. I worry for the future of this country.

1. Ayup. I got insulted and then blocked when I tried debating with facts

I noticed they kept avoiding any question I had and would divert the topic to other subjects.

I guess I'm just an un-American, treasonous liberal.

2. Because the more we argue with them...

the more likely it is that a few of them will come around to our point of view.

3. because silence is deadly- and implied approval.

just try and nurture yourself ALOT- and pick your battles carefully-
Rest-
think of it as throwing the starfish back into the sea, it might actually save one out of a million.

6. You're right

and repeated time and time again I believe it's possible to bang some sense into their heads

I just got banned on this board for asking why some war supporters weren't in Iraq. They REALLY don't like that question:

19. That's the one question they really have no good answer for.

The lameass ones Roveco tried to craft for this a short time ago ("we're fighting the culture war" etc.) really sound ridiculous, so they're back to the tried and true strategy of "um I have to go to the bathroom" and rapidly running out of the room when you ask this.

7. Because you love to watch their heads pop.

Ask one to justify the war without:

Comparing it to WWII
Invoking 9/11 (there is no link)

The only thing they are left with is "Saddam is a bad person"

8. because it's fun?
