Re: THE RANT THREAD!
I agree with you. I hate it when people cop out after challenging you. I have my opinion because of the information which I have found and believe and how this coincidences with my beliefs. I respect your opinion but disagree because .... and then they just stop and still say they're right with no back up. The only thing worse is people who defend their position with bull like obviously biased statistics or just plain wrong information or use some trite statement and believe they've completely dismantled your argument. I got into the gun debate with someone once brought up how strict gun laws have reduced violent crime in other countries, how owning firearms for the purpose of rebellion is fairly pointless given the power of modern weapons, how the founding fathers could never have possibly understood the kinds of weaponry we now possess, and his response was basically guns don't kill people. If you can create a rational argument that's backed up by something more than your opinion I'll respect you even if it disagrees with my own.
whoops, I kinda wrote my own rant.
