Thread Name: BS: List the reasons people disagree
Subject: RE: BS: List the reasons people disagree
It's interesting, if not actually worrying, the numbers of people [and it's presumably world-wide] who say, in effect, "I am right,anyone who disagrees with me is therefore wrong, and that's that." [unless people are joking, of course.]

I mean, if one person says that, for a moment you might run with that.

But now imagine being a fly-on-the-wall in a room of a dozen people sitting in a circle, and ALL of them saying that same sentence. Alsao imagine they are saying it about a subject on which you are quite ignorant and have no opinion.

Wouldn't that situation looked very odd or flawed or confusing or something?
