Politics is a tricky subject. Brains are actually "wired" differently for left and right individuals.

Topic: Is there a point to this board? - page 2. (Read 461 times)
Hello world!
Considering the incredibly heated arguments currently ongoing in the different threads I follow, I'm wondering something: is there a point to the exchanges in Politics & Society?
I mean in some threads there have been cleared and objective arguments given by some, and the opposite party most of the time finished by insulting the other without answering the argument.
That can happen with people like TECSHARE and BADecker but I don't think anyone expects to make those change there minds as they're closer to bots than to human beings.
But has anyone ever seen his opinion changed thanks to the exchange in this board?
I have, a bit, with Trump, but I can't say it's by a big way.
Are our discussions here useful or are we just a group of baboons throwing shit while waiting for other baboons to comfort us in our opinions?
