Yeah, my bad Cynth. I don't mean to try your patience, it's just that we can on occasion have drastically differing opinions on things. I think you're right that growth can come from confronting and learning about opinions other than your own.
I think I've changed a bit. Thanks to many, many member here, I now have a lot more friends. I've been able to widen my perceptions quite a bit thanks to everyone's different backgrounds and educations. When I logged on to TFP for the first time back in 2004, I was a centrist. Now I'm a far leftist, and not because I was fooled or was controlled, but because other people helped me to discover who I was and am.
