I frequently browse this political forum, but rarely respond. The reason I enjoy reading through the arguments, and sometimes even arguing myself.... is that I like having my opinions/beliefs challenged. Often good arguments from either side will give me a fresh perspective and sway my own opinions.
I've noticed that some here seem to have the philosophy that their views are "correct" and all others are wrong. I hold the belief that our perspective on issues tends to be a product of our environment /upbringing, etc.... and I appreciate that others have different views. I guess maybe what I'm getting at is that this country would not be a very nice place if everyone was either on the left or right.
Any thoughts?
