I have been on this site from the early stages. I pay the yearly fees to help support it but I must say, I am starting to reflect whether it is worth it anymore. The difficulty on this site is that it does not promote discussion unless you are of the same view point as a select few on here. If you notice, it is always the same few people posting discussion points. The same few people typically share the same ideals. I have spoken to a number of people over the years who have told me they just won't enter into discussions here because of precisely what Momo26 just stated.
Is your argument so weak that your brain has to revert to adolescent levels and start pointing fingers?
And btw, there are always more sides to the story and more than meets the eye. With the correct amount of media attention, constant bombardment of fear-based propaganda, masses can be convinced of *anything*.

People on this site need to start working on fostering a place where everyone feels comfortable to add their "opinion" . Very few on here are experts on the many related topics so for the most part, it is opinion. So please allow others to add their own personal opinions in an environment free of constant attacks and criticism.
Let's encourage more people to get involved and offer there insite through their lens. Maybe we can actually learn from others instead of the same thought constantly....
Some things are not "opinions"...from climate change denial, to calling homeless people vermin...these are not things we should tolerate. If you want to bring ignorance and hate into a discussion, you shouldn't be pandered to. If you don't like that...too bad. Because on the flip side, if we entertain that type of discussion, that too will exclude people. It's the paradox of tolerance.
