Typhoid, a basic concept you are having trouble grasping is that there is a difference between having an opinion and having that opinion respected. The lynch pin in having your opinion respected is factual evidence to back it up.
There are many people here who don't agree with me but respect my opinions because I back them up with information and evidence and often times just common sense.
Do you see anyone here getting your back in this argument? That should tell you something.
All I did was ask Stonecutter for some information to back up why he felt that the West was the problem in the relationship between the Middle East and the West. Now there is plenty of information there if he wishes to look it up going back as far as the Crusades or as recent as the founding of Israel. I just wanted to see whether or not he was basing his opinion on political correctness or on actual information.
Now you might wonder I tend to be very blunt when challenging people's opinions, a reason I have kept secret until now...
The answer is simple: I am going to school to become a secondary school teacher and the best way to engage a young mind to tell them they're wrong, because as we all know young people think they are always right. By telling them they are wrong, even if they have a valid point, it inspires further study and gives them a reason to become more involved in the topic.
Just look at how far Dyflon has come before I first began aguing with him. Debating him has become increasingly difficult since I began this strategy, though I can still take him
. Unfortunately that strategy is not working with Typhoid...
