Well, i'm sorry I wasn't more articulate. I have no problem with threads going where threads go. I usually find it fascinating.
I didn't say the comments in this thread were far off topic - but they aren't on his topic either. Nothing says they have to be. It's just... interesting.
What I find sad, however, is that the main thrust of Stewarts argument was ignored on the show. I found what I thought (and still think) is an apt parallel happening on this thread also. His point (or what I saw as his point) about that show not being a debate is a good one.
We don't have debate anywhere that I can see. Certainly the 4 official debates weren't. Everyone is responsible, including me. There is this comedian trying to point that out, and no one seems to hear him because he's a comedian.
That truth can't be recognized, regardless of source, and discussed is what I find specifically sad. Just my opinion and observation. Not asking anyone to agree. Just frustrated enough that I had to write it down.
