With just a little bit of studying the rules of logic, you might find the world open up to you in a beautiful complexity that does not overwhelm you so easily.
You could possibly be correct here, but I think I've come to the realization that manipulating data is what changes an argument, while you have not. Also, not every topic is all that nuanced and complex. Some absolutely are, like human sexuality, but others not so much.
Nothing has changed my world-view more than the arguments of racism or sexism from the left. These are obviously dishonest arguments, supported by dishonest data. Extrapolating from that, I grow suspicious of all arguments from the left now. You guys just show data that supports your arguments and throw out the rest, when confronted, you simply call the person a bigot or a racist.
There is good reason why so many people hate leftists. We are just sick of you people. And, most of you sound like idiots, to be honest.
