There is a difference between discussing and arguing politics in the abstract, because it's fascinating, and simply defending one's own political views. Not the same thing.

You mean you don't like that I strongly hold opinions that differ from your slanted/pointed opinions Do you think that during debate, people should argue their opinions, certainly, but do you think that factual inaccuracies matter? And if you really like debate, you could be perfectly happy debating stuff that personally, you may not agree with <G>

I know you have strongly held opinions...you're stuck in the clinic all day....and the cats won't talk to you....your frustration is understandable. See, you asked me 2 questions that framed your opinion of me before the dust settled in this forum. I'm impressed with facts...but you see them through the myopic scope of HuffPo and Mother Jones and other of their ilk. I can hardly answer correctly given your stance.....It's not CHESS...it's talking.

Strangely, in light of your concern about "framing", that's not how I spend my day

Thought my smiley-face gave away that was a joke.

You seem to be confusing fact with opinion. One is generally indisputable, and the other is interpretation of the first. I can assure you I form my own opinions. You?
