@Axs5626Sxa5001 The OP was heavily sarcastic and obviously designed to provoke an emotional response, not a rational discussion. Do you know what those types of posts are called?

Correction, the OP was designed to prompt discussion. I’ve tried other ways to have this discussion, and now I am trying this.
But thank you for the thoughtful contributions.

- 5 years ago@Axs5626Sxa5001 Stating an opinion that is actually the opposite of what you really think and seeing how people react to it isn't designed to prompt a rational discussion, sorry.
- hayhor5 years agoHero@LaughingSharko The OP is right. He has posted about this subject many times. I dont think he was baiting the post at all but believe he is trying to understand the other side better.
- 5 years ago@hayhor This subject always has the exact same conclusion. The OP already knows all the arguments. He knows the pros and *. He simply wants to, as they say, "kick a dead horse" again.
A reasonable discussion is when one person goes into it actually willing to consider other possibilities. Starting your post off by sarcastically mocking the other side's arguments isn't conducive to any reasonable discussion.
Let me give you an example:
"Women totally don't exaggerate. They don't overreact ever. They don't get hormonal and yell and scream like crazy people. They deserve to be elected president." Prove me wrong.
What kind of discussion do you think would follow that post? An emotional response or a logical one?
