I really don't think its a big enough deal to rehash and I probably didnt need to bring it up. It was just an example of saying I can disagree with someone and still like them, or respect them. I can send you something in a private conversation if curiosity is killing you. Just the point is people have different opinions, world views, etc and we can still treat people decently...
Fair enough. I expect that everything I say won't be agreed upon by everybody. I try not to say hateful things. I try to treat others decently. I also try to be open minded (a work in progress). Often, I might seem hardheaded or dead set on my views, but I do make the effort to listen to opposing views. I let myself get to heated about Trump and all of this political bullshit. Part of that is I love to argue. It's fun. But, sometimes I go to far into it probably. There are several posters on here who I don't agree with but, respect. I don't always agree with you, but you come across as a pretty decent person. If I say something that crosses a line, please PM me. If I see other posters crossing the line, I call it out, and the same should go for me.
Heh, it sure didn't cross any "lines." Anyways people will always have things we disagree on, just the thread title here of calling people Morons right at the start, what kind of discussion does anyone think that's going to bring...
Incredibly great post. All too often people misconstrue a differing of opinions from a debate to an argument. You can disagree and debate ideologies without having it go personal. Just keep in mind that the debate is to raise all intellects with a heightened sense of awareness brought to you by simply listening to the other side. Whether you end up agreeing or not, odds are you will have a better understanding of why or how they have come to think the way they do. I have laid into friends on this board( I would never say anything on here I wouldn't say in person IMO) but did so with the understanding that they are good people and wont just take it personal but will actually listen to what i'm saying and attempt to understand it. Whether they agree with it or not. No one is perfect in this world and all too often we are offended by anyone else trying to inform us of how we could improve ourselves. I love debating. I love people telling me i'm wrong. If I'm told i'm right all the time, How can I improve myself? I must be told i'm wrong in order to be able to see the other side. I don't take offence. I might not agree after looking into it, but will always appreciate someone attempting to head me off at the pass to save me, whether i'm off track or not. Its a respect thing. I respect anyone willing to debate, regardless of whether minds are changed or not.
Trumps favorite band? Just another brick in the wall!!!! I have a love hate relationship with them. A few songs are just incredible. Most of thier albums suck. The dark side of the moon is a top 20 album of all time though.
Like a million frickin’ times (one of the reasons I no longer listen to KGON). Dark Side Of The Moon came out when I was in navy shipfitter school in early 1973. The guy in the room across the hall from me in our dorm played it incessantly. I have listened to that album drunk, stoned and straight (and all combinations thereof) and it sucks a hoagie regardless of my state of mind. Personally I consider one of the most (if not THE most) overrated albums in history......
Always a pleasure to hang with you OB but.........if you bring out the Pink Floyd then I bring out the Bob Wills....
