I really think that people are talking different languages at times. A great deal of fuss was made on more than one of my threads about this being a discussion forum and about how the rules of debate work. Yet here we are again using the same terms to mean entirely different things. Socialist means one thing to me, and to others I expect, yet to some it means supporting Trump and Farage. Liberal means one thing politically and another socially. Being liberal socially is, I always understood, to be accepting and tolerant. Yet here it is again being used as a derogatory term. If we do not even speak the same language, how can we ever possibly reach an agreement? If we cannot reach an agreement, even if it is just to differ, what is the point of the discussion?
