A discussion without two sides is really just a boring circlejerk. If I wanted to see regurgitated state propaganda, there's literally a state media machine designed for that, that side gets enough coverage as it is and I would assume anybody going into a conversation online would be well aware of it. And if an individual is so uninformed that they aren't even aware of the official state policy and stance and can't be bothered to look it up, then that individual probably won't contribute to the conversation any ways. | ||

That results in a substantially less fruitful discussion than could be had if he were meaningfully engaging in opposing views. Face it, people aren't generally very reasonable when it comes to views that they don't really understand, which is very common in international politics discussion. It's hard to remain level-headed when half the people you are discussing with are hostile towards you. So while I understand why people don't like him, it's easy to ignore the fact that people have been bashing Turkey quite hard in that thread. Many people take such an attack personally. | ||

This is why I left General a long time ago. Never thought I'd change anyone's mind anyways. | ||

Nobody is attempting to change anybody's mind anymore. Just a bunch of people overcompensating for something using as many SAT words as possible to say nothing of substance. | ||
