If I make a comment against George W. Bush people instantly attack me and call me an idiot for supporting Kerry or Gore or Clinton, etc. I am not a Democrat or Republican (I am a libertarian and have voted for other various third parties). Therefore in this details section here i always have to tell people that before they jump to a wild assumption. And when I criticize the Yankees, people instantly assume that I am a red Sox fan and answer with "Red Sox" suck. So then again in the details section I have to type that i am a fan of neither and I am a Brewers fan (and the truly DO suck). What is it with people and assumptions? Why does everything have to be either or? Black or white? You get my point. Why is it so hard to discuss the issue at hand without some accusing you of being on a certain team?

because the majority of people are stupid and ignorant and they would rather look for a reason to try and defend their opinion than see the truth in yours.

Because you're doing it on Yahoo Answers. If you want real debate go to a site that's not populated by bored kids who spout thier parents ideals. This place is fun for silly questions and answers but if you're serious about things, you need to find a new place.

Well, it's no doubt Americans who respond, and they're generally not known for their logical thinking and reasoning abilities.
Rarely will you be able to have a calm discussion with them--most have not been taught how to think. Emotions and impulses rule...

People are just dumb. We are just people on the internet, it shouldn't bother you that much.
