Ahh, finally someone with brains enough to have a decent conversation with....Depends on how you define stupid. Some people actually believe that they are so right, anyone disagreeing with them in any way about anything must be stupid. But they might be stupid themselves. It's not a simple question you've posed here. The first part must be solved despite the mists of subjectivity. Then comes the reveal.
About as much as I like reading pointless polls.
The point is that this site in and of itself is just that ...... POINTLESS.
So what does that say about you posting here?

It can feel that way sometimes but it's really not. Shills and trolls are inevitable on any Internet forum but I've seen some pretty good discussions. There really are some very sharp and thoughtful posters here of all political leans.
I've learned many things because a discussion here triggered a query and minutes later I knew something I didn't know before.
The hyper-partisan generally don't contribute very much but there are enough open minds to do some exploring with. I only have 6 people on my ignore list and that's not much considering how many are here.
Of course I believe every opinion I have is correct otherwise I would change my opinion. I am sure everyone views it in a similar way. Where some people seem to differ is they believe that whatever their opinion is that it is always correct and they could never possibly be wrong. Personally I feel I am probably more often wrong then right but until someone can show me what is correct or change my mind I will hold onto my convictions but with an open mind.
debating politics is by its very nature is pointless
lets assume we were running a business and we were discussing how to properly manage things
the outcome of our discussions would determine the success or failure of the enterprise
inthat case there'd be a reason to debate
here nothing will ever make any difference in anything ever so by definition it is pointless
there is zero chance of changing anyone's preconceived notions of the world
I'm only here to get rewarded with likes failing that
I'll flame bait troll and collect infractions :tongue4:

It's quite simple - stupid cannot be changed, ignorance can (through education - be it self motivated learning or through an institution, etc.).... It seems that there are many stupid people on this site - no matter what evidence is presented to them proving their convoluted opinions otherwise, they will still adhere to false beliefs.... AND I'm not saying that just liberals are to blame for their lack of capacity to learn - there are plenty of conservatives whom prove obstinately obtuse as well... The real problem in this country is that there are too many problem creators and not enough problem solvers.... My father - whom in his prime was one of the best computer programmers in the country, taught me that. His point is that - well - politicians (for the most part) are idiots whom ARE the problem, not the solution. But that is perhaps getting off topic here...
The problem I see on boards like this is that no one wants to even listen or learn where the other side is coming from - the cotton remains in the ears, hence diarrhea of the mouth ensues..... I'm not saying I'm all that smart, either - I'm stupid enough to keep coming to this crappy site and expecting to change others' opinions....
Waste of freaking time - just remember that "the fool doth think he is wise, the wise man know himself to be a fool."
So, I admit it - I'm a fool, ok?
Hope that 'splains things a little better for everyone. And just remember this reality check - say what you want, but at least I think for myself. Furthermore, YOU DON'T know me!!!
I already have admitted that I'm a fool
