| 1385581 | 2014-10-03 21:45:00 | It appears a simple question, but on reflection I can't think of a simple answer. Surely we all want the same thing (given social averages), we all have an opinion on how we think the solutions should be and tend to vote based on the closeness of political parties philosophies. So why, when we discuss what has happened in the political realm, do forum posters resort to name-calling and insults? - This goes for both sides. I admit, I am a lover, not a fighter. I would prefer peace over combat, and when discussions are made would prefer to have a civil conversation that would be insightful instead of attacks on a personal level. But that in itself is an ideological viewpoint. Just asking........ |

Usually if a person is so closed mind (so to speak) in their opinion they cant see any other side /option. If someone else happens to produce proof or offer a different solution, because the other person is so set in their ways name calling is usually the only response they know. They cant ( or wont) say something like "OK thats your opinion which is different to mine - lets just agree to disagree and move on". As pcuser has said before "resorting to name calling just means you lost the argument" Then there's others that start threads or contribute to threads just to stir or cause trouble. Guess you could call it human nature. |
