[QUOTE="hubrat, post: 794912, member: 869"] Right on. Intellectually and emotionally well-developed people realize that fluidity is needed when deciding one's political opinions. People who hang out on the far left and far right tend to have closed minds. Closed minds learn nothing new. If they're not learning something about themselves, others, and the world around them they are stagnant. My hunch is it's more developmental. Strict conservatives, especially religious ones, are very fearful. This fear drives their attempt to control their environment. Arguing will never change someone's political views. They don't need to be changed, and can't be by outside forces. Differences are necessary. So is respect, patience, and tolerance. If you think u r right and the other guy is wrong, be responsible and know that one extreme is no better than the other. Everybody experiences the world differently and tends to react accordingly. One side is no better than the other. One side is not smarter than the other. It's a developmental process which is affected by countless variables. Our goal should be to grow together. IMO. [/QUOTE]
