Hello Zadalya!

Arguing is fine and good when when disagrees - I find it important. But argument for the mere sake of argument feels inauthentic.

I think you are assuming that I don't feel strongly about 'the issue', and that would be a mistake. I do feel very strongly about 'it'. However, the first thing to realise is that we may not be talking here of the same issue. I don't care much about Bush being called an asshole. (Though I think that's a weak and inarticulate way of expressing an anger at his administration which needs to be understood better and expressed more constructively.)

I do care a lot about dishonest journalism, and I also care about group prejudice. This is the freethought forum and I am angry at the response from viscousmemories and others to my attempt to discuss my thoughts on those issues.
