I enjoy discussing Politics. From a philosophical and also historical point of
view, mostly.
But I regret that so much people are so entrenched in whatever party / ideology
/ righteousness / whatever, that they just can't truly debate in a rational
manner.
As I see it, the final goal of a debate should be improvement, not victory. But
I've been proven wrong.
It would help, as Marcus Aurelius put it, to view things we say as opinions,
not as facts; and everything we see as a perspective, not the truth.
And Jonathan Haidt would add, that anyone who values truth should stop worshiping
begin right.
For which Wayne Dyer comes to mind, but I'll stop here.

Well put

Some individuals throughout our history burn notably brighter, Marcus Aurelius
was one. I've found a few bits of wisdom that are ascribed to the man, even
more salient today. I imagine when an individual possesses a fulsome understanding
of human nature, their candid thoughts and lessons travel forward through time
well, or seem timeless
Some individuals throughout our history burn notably brighter.....
Joan of Arc certainly did.
Figuratively with both the passion of her convictions and her deeds by such a
young age. Tragically and with a nod to your wittiness, yes, literally too.
the cross border makes a going discussion mostly useless for a lot of users
Depending upon your perspective, such a discussion could actually be a very useful
learning opportunity.
For example, I know nothing about Dutch politics. Please enlighten me.
We could talk Canadien Politics but
- We'd have to have an exchange rate discount of 35% on Canadien posts.
- All sentences would have to end . . . EH?
- Pizza and Mustard would have to be banned subjects.

Actually us Canadians donโt usually talk about politics. But I like to for some
reason. We usually just ignore what the government does, even when taxes get
raised we just shrug and say too bad and hope for better. Whining about politics
just is something we donโt bother to do.

Politics aren't allowed to be discussed on the forum because Bricklink Admins
have panic attacks whenever they hear the words "vote" and "democracy"
When hundreds of people beg Russell to not do something not good and time wasting.
(Especially when there are hundreds of item waiting for approval, instead he
wastes time renaming and re-inventoring hundreds of sets.)(in other words sounds
like a government โmake work projectโ)
