XylightIs anybody else worried about the lack of diverse opinion here?
GreenKnight23It makes me hesitant to believe I’m on the “correct side” …
full stop.
you seem to have a misconception here. there isn’t a right and wrong side. there’s opinions and positions you agree and disagree with. from there, you can have factually correct opinions and opinions based entirely on fantasy.
only you can decide what is right vs wrong from your own positions. if you think an opinion is wrong on here, point it out. argue your position. ignore the upvotes and downvotes because they’re gamed anyway.
I may not agree with you on any of your opinions, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a right to express them (no matter how dumb they are).
just don’t be afraid to have your opinions and preconceptions challenged.
starlingukThere is definitely a right and a wrong side. None of this “both sides have a point” bullshit, please.
I think that it depends on the subject being argued about. It is ok to have “both sides have a point” when you are arguing about what OS your next computer will run, there are genuine advantages to each option.
But it is important to know when to draw the line. I do NOT agree that “both sides have a point” when it comes to human rights or any other actually important subject matter.
The thing everyone needs to know is that not all internet arguments are created equal and you have to know when to listen to both sides and when one side is just plane wrong.
