Unsurpsingly, I find the perception on what causes a discussion to spiral out of context or purpose, in the Politics forum, is typically based on ones own personal political philosophy.
If you ask me, and you have, I would certainly not blame the "anti-Bush"crowd, whatever that is, rather I would blame the "pro-Bush" crowd - which is probably the opposite group of people, for consistently failing to back up their arguments with what i perceive to be logic.
As far as references - I'm tired of them. They seem to be almost entirely pointless. If it's an opinion you referenced, what's the point? Are you just parroting the opinion? And, as you mentioned, there are almost never opposing, referenced, opinions that anyone will agree is satisfactory. If it's some type of statistic, the discussion simply devolves into my statistic vs. your statistic and which one of us can repeat it the most often and from the highest degree of perspectives. Again, useless.
I'm more interested in your opinion.
