Again well written. I agree that we may not get closer to an intelligent debate, but when the emotions boil we get much closer to the character of the person that let the vitrial "spew forth". Any debate that reveals more deeply the character of the person is usually as or more important than the ideas they say they believe in. When the debate gets hot you find out if they have character!
Several of the people in this debate let their guard down and revealed their true character.
Reflect upon the defects of your character: thoroughly realize their evils and the transient pleasures they give you, and firmly will that you shall try your best not to yield to them the next time. -Helen P. Blavatsky <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.quoteland.com/">http://www.quoteland.com/</a><!-- m -->
"The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do." -John Holt <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.quoteland.com/">http://www.quoteland.com/</a><!-- m -->
The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny â it is the light that guides your way. -Heraclitus <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.quoteland.com/">http://www.quoteland.com/</a><!-- m -->

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere / Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter / Injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates - Martin Luther King Jr.
