The majority of the population is not intelligent,they might listen to the biased media once in a while but they only listen to what they want to hear. We get lovely soundbites every now and again which scare us or build us up but we don't know what is really going on. Polititions want to be elected or re-elected so they will say what they need to say to get that job done. I am sure most presidents/prime ministers started their political careers with the best of intentions but to get to the top they have to suck so much cock and make so many deals that by the time they get there all their good intentions have been eroded.
How much money is the next American election going to cost? How indebted is the next president going to be to industry/media etc by the time he or she gets there?
It doesn't matter how much intellectual debate there is, not enough people will listen or care.

Part of the reason I left for such a long time, you cannot have an analyticl discussion, when one takes pot shots with inflammatroy remarks at another... Some days it is just best to find another way to enjoy the day

Coming into Politics and Religion to enjoy yourself was probably a mistake.

But, of course, the forum wasn't set up for your personal enjoyment. And leaving instead of becoming part of the solution is a lousy set of qualifications for bitching about it.

Welcome back.

No, it wasn't set up for my enjoyment, but we don't debate here at all.
You know as well as I do, just how low brow the insults become and it certainly doesn't take intelligence to call another poster names.
You cut the middle more than most and keep it above most of the B.S., but it has to take effort somedays!

Good man! And yes, you do. That 'welcome back' was sincerely meant.

We have been a country for more than two hundred years and you come up with two bogus examples of debate.
Perhaps you might read not only the debates you cite but the pollitical rhetoric that surrounded them.

There is some debate... if you had looked at the Alcoholics Anonymous thread that was going recently, you would see that although many had strong opinions, there was very little nastiness on it.
