100,000 Protestors... Angry mobs of students...

Yeah. That's why I do it. It is through the fights that, if you listen, you learn things. Which is why I end up expressing the "conservative" results of my libertarianism here.

Just wondering what sensibilities Steve felt warranted protection. We could say an awful lot of mean things about black people here (if what I know of the makeup of the board extends to those I haven't met).

Really, what is the fun of iSm and I both saying that drugs should be legal?

Damn it, you anti-mojo person, you! (Alex)

Okay, in lieu of mojo, I'll post instead. It's true that you can learn a lot having a spirited debate, or fight if you will, but only if the other person brings something to the table that's substantitive. I don't need to learn that the other poster is a jerk- I've got enough of those irl to deal with, tyvm. You may play devil's advocate, but you back up your statements and that makes it informative, which in turn makes it interesting.
