Sure seems political to me. Also it's ironic that those complaining that the thread ignores one side of the issue sure did a pretty good job of "derailing" it to discuss the problems they see.
Since when is posting one side of a story frowned upon? I've seen plenty of posts about "Good news, yada yada yada happened" are they also supposed to throw in the "bad" side? Like "Yay I got a job today!" quickly followed by "But that means some other very nice person that interviewed for it didn't."
Also love the fact that people label opinions as rhetoric when using their own apparent criteria, the opinions the express in other threads would be labeled "rhetoric". Most of the definitions surrounding the word deal with the art of the spoken word, using speech eloquently to persuade, or verbal discourse. The only negative connotation with the word rhetoric is when it's considered to be empty talk or being loud and confused. I find no evidence of those things in most discussions. The majority of people hold beliefs for certain very real and very specific reasons. They typically don't just take others' words as gospel. Why can't everyone just admit that people have a right to hold their opinions and debate the reasons behind the opinions rather than discounting others' beliefs? I guess that just makes too damned much sense.
