I believe it would be better to just ignore that site. You'll only be banging your head against the wall. Life is too precious.

why put ones energy into battling with those who are entrenched. do something positive instead. and to be honest reading the sort of stuff i'd expect to read if i checked it out would drive me nuts. so censor oneself from the facists, or whatever they are, and build, be positve, and bring regime change at home.

the person who agressively advocates the war (which will result in a new government probably as bad as the last e.g afganistan) or the person who agressively advocates against the war (which will result in the continued reign of madaS and the death of the iraqi's who opposed him in this war)???

Be careful how you choose your words as facists is a very particular term that does not seem appropriate for either of the above. Imperialist maybe but facist, never (Although they do have the Secret Service=SS)

I do not possess a monopoly on wisdom, so I am grateful when others are kind enough to offer a contribution to my understanding. For example, I am grateful to those who explain to me why we should attack Iraq. I simply don't yet understand their reasons. I am, however, grateful for their patience.

Genuine dialogue implies a genuine willingness to change.

If I fail to understand the reasons of others, I blame myself and press their kindness further until either I do, or we discover the root of our misunderstanding.

Now, some people are busy. They may not have time to share. I accept this.

But in the same way, I am at liberty to pass over in silence those whose contributions are less interesting to me

There are thousands of such sites. The majority, as I found out when I posted some (moderate and polite) criticism of americans going on about "freedom" when millions in the far east work in virtual slavery for US companies to support "freedom" in the US itself, are moderated and dissenting voices are silenced within minutes. They will allow some badly written extreme-left or pro-islamic fundamantalism points to remain on the boards, as if in a counterpoint to their own right wing views.

Try posting a well-thought out arguement or cite history etc and the post is likely to be deleted.

In short, you would be wasting your sweet time.
