SodaHead members should realize that nothing that the other side says or points out will change anyone's mind.

Pointing out things about President Obama, if it comes from the right, is going to be ignored just like the progressives and what they say are ignored. So, things like, before you vote for Obama read this. NOTHING that I read will keep me from voting for President Obama. NOTHING the right says is going to mean anything to me regarding Willard or Paul. SodaHead isn't an exchange of ideas, no one is interested in ideas from the other side.
My opinion is made up, just like it is for every single person on this site. Kind of makes you ask what's the purpose. I guess it's a place to write down your own opinion and put it out there for your friends to say, "What a great post," or your nemesis can tell you how "wrong you are." I can tell you what I do, as soon as I leave a thread and said what I wanted to say, I don't even remember who I made the comment to. This applies to those who slam progressives or President Obama. I do remember what I say to my friends and they to me. Often times, once I've made a comment, I never go back to the thread when there has been a comment left for me in My Happenings, I just click on the red X and delete it.
There are some conservatives I do know and remember, but I can count them on one hand. I guess what I'm saying is nothing I say or anyone from the right says makes a bit of difference to me, I almost instantly forget about it.
Do you think that no minds can be changed on SodaHead? Do you know anyone who has ever listened to the other side and changed their mind because of it?
The only thing this election will hopefully do, is bring out those who would not normally take the time to vote. IF they can accomplish that, then I think the man I want to win, will. Otherwise, he may not.
The United States is dead. We are irrevocably divided and I expect to see an internal war within the decade. And it is ALL on the Repugs and the Corporatist Dems.
Michael, have you considered professional help?
In many, many other cases, the minds that are changed are the silent eyes in the audience. A well-articulated argument is rarely wasted.
you're right, of course, people come on SH to have their own opinions verified [yes, all of us.]
when people agree with us [and it's true across the board] we admire how insightful they are. when they disagree, we chalk them up as 'dumb as a sack of rocks' and dismiss them.
just sayin.
Why would I most likely waste my time? To some extent, bordom but every once in awhile
I find someone and exchange possible solutions to todays problems.
Like I say it is rare.
