So why are you in this forum?

[maluckey]

My therapist says it's good to interact with highly emotional people. Especially when they argue over pointless things and insist that their viewpoint is the ONLY viewpoint on things.

For once because I like to debate and I am interested in politics.
Second I wanna know how Americans tick - regarding politics - as politics is the about only thing that freaks me out about (US)Americans (well yeah environmental issues do too but that is closely related)
- well I might not learn that here, but it braodens my horizon.
And gives me vastly different opinions compared to talking on a german forum.
And finally maybe sometimes I can clear up common misconceptions about us - but usually noone wants to listen

It is a good source of info from very different sources

Oh and u know as foreigner I actively partake in enhancing cross cultural understanding or entrenching

I'm here as part of my duties at the U.S. Department of Justice. I keep tabs on liberal anti-American terrorists who have been known to frequent these boards.

I love to delude myself into thinking that people will read my posts and think about the ideas expressed.
The sad fact is that 99% of people have already had their minds made up for them by their peers ,or those who have loved them, and pass these ideas along like it is some universal truth that only they, and those like them, can see.

College Republicans who consider themselves the "shock troops of the right" are even funnier.

Monsta it is about basic comprehension, I said I generally differ in opinion from my peer group/social setting at any given time...not that on the whole I am going against the grain...it is called get a clue, try it you might like it.

Talking to yourself wasn't enough?:Q

My therapist tried to get me to ditch this forum as pointless and counterproductive, but I countered with a withering personal attack that proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that I was right and he was wrong, the sniveling little unpatriotic peacenik. Not that I have doubts. Real men don't do nuance.

You are of course hopeless, but your kids may have a chance.

I find it intellectually stimulating.
