I don't want you to leave, but there is a few thing I really wish you would stop doing.
You always claim that if we are not getting your point of view, that we either didn't read your post, or ignored it. None of us ever do that.
Most of your posts come from a position that's very hard to understand without lots of explanation, like the one I quoted here. It's logically impossible. You can not treat some people different and treat everyone the same, at the same time. I don't care what context you are talking about. It can't be done.
Often times your posts can be very difficult to follow logically. You say you want to force people to pay what you feel “is right”, but you don't want an authoritative government.
In the future when you do those kinds of things, and we point out how you can be contradictory, please don't just call us names, or say we are ignoring your points. Respond with a deeper explanation of what you mean.
Secondly, when people have a different view, please consider it. I see a lot of people, on both sides of the argument, do nothing but preach there point of view, and no amount of conversion is going to change there mind. The thread about a utopian society is the perfect example. You had Conservatives, Liberals, Socialist, and Libertarians all telling you the same thing, and yet you never once took any of that information, and tried to use it to expand your view of the world and where it should go. If you are always on the defensive, and see anyone who doesn't agree with you as nothing more then a combatant, how will you ever grow to be more then you are today.
I know you say the things you say because you care about people, and want a better life for all. I hope you realize the people arguing with you want that as well, we just feel a different approach yields better results.
