But unless you have no views at all, conflict and opposition is inevitably going to arise when you are trying to promote views that are different from others. Unless I decide to side with their views or stay out of the topic altogether, of course. However, as I view their ideals as dangerous, it would logically follow that people that promote dangerous ideology would be dangerous.

If they're wrong, say it. Discuss how much they're wrong, as much as you deem necessary, or useful. If you think the conclusions they make can be dangerous, you can express that. But attack the individual ideas, not the group of people. 

 

Discussion is advancing much, is it? haha! I guess we'll just be in disagreement here, then.

I have come to the conclusion that discussion is almost meaningless, since when I try to give statistics, evidence, etc. it has no effect. How are you expected to have a rational conversation with people like that? Also, even if I attack just the ideas, people identify themselves through their ideas so they can still view it as an attack on themselves.
