I cannot resist posting my reply to a political subject, therefore, I cannot sign. I know you mean well, but I would not be able to abide by it.

It really is pointless in the end. You're never going to change the other person's mind and it all ends up the same. When people run out of factual evidence to support their side of the argument they resort to insulting the person they are arguing with or their immediate family or the country they happen to live in. It's sad but true.

Only way to settle an argument is with a game of rock em sock em robots!

American politics will be irrelevent to this community just as soon as open beta rolls around. You may as well try to get past it now, because it will be drowned out by red blue and purple.

Acctualy, I think there was one guy who did change is position on something, and posted it publicly on the forums. I know that you can't change the minds of the very vocal ones, but you can have an effect on the quieter types that just read the thread. Thats the real point of a debate, not to change your opponents mind, but rather place your position in a higher place amungst the audience.
