That is a pretty vague statement. So as long is it doesn't affect you personally in a negative way it is ok? Hate groups can hate, hurt, and kill aslong as it is not you? etc etc.....now I really don't think that is what you mean but having a silent voice doesn't help anyone......

I may disagree with you a lot of the time, but since opposing you in this forum would force me to 'choose sides' I usually just read the discussions and keep my thoughts to myself. Nobody here seems interested in learning from differing opinions. In fact, I don't have a clue what anyone here is trying to accomplish with all the arguing. Most of it is a waste of archive space in the server's hard drive. If I thought my opinions mattered to anyone here I would share them more often.

I disagree with the choose sides statement, it is also hard to learn differing opinions when you keep your thoughts to yourself. What am I trying to accomplish? Good question, I don't really have an agenda, maybe it is a devil's advocate type of thing, provoke some thought. Just to let you know also, I would like to hear your opinions, I am one who reads your posts, so they matter to me and maybe you should post more....are you afraid of what people may think about you?

Anyway, most of the philosophical points you brought up don't belong in this thread, and it's a pity that most threads degrade like this. Someone always has to hijack them. Leave that stuff for the Underground, everyone, this is a topical forum. If you can't stick to the thread's subject then start a new one.

Since RAS had to bring up my nick in his/her rant, I will respond to that later.....
