The more unrestricted rec.boats can be, the closer it resembles the real
world.
Not even close.
The world where arguments are more often impassioned than logical. A world
where insult, slander, gossip and personal attack are common currency.
In the real world 99% of these people don't have the intestinal
fortitude to face
the possible physical ramifications of insulting personal attacks on a
complete
stranger. I have never been in a Marina or at a Drop Zone or in a
hunting camp
where a political conversation broke down into name calling and did not
result in
1 or more of the participants paying with blood or real personal
embarrasment
by slinking out with their tail between their legs.
That's a very interesting "real world" you have there Terry. Have you
personally shot or stabbed or punched someone for their political
thoughts?
Do you count as your friends people who would shoot, stab or punch
someone for their political beliefs?
I know the left does not agree with having to back what you say but
that is the world that I know.
Exactly who is it on the "left" that established the policy of not
having to back what you say?
Was it Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly or Ann Coulter? I
don't think they're "left." Was it Karl Marx, John Kennedy, Martin
Luther King, Noam Chomsky, Maureen Dowd?
What leftist can you identify who claims not to have to back up what you
say?
Are you talking about backing it up with facts or "them are shootin'
words?"
