Do you feel that the anger and vitriol in this forum prevents actual debate?

Sometimes. Some threads I stay out of, because there's nothing going on there but hyperpartisan quackery. Sometimes though, you can get a good intellectual debate going.
Btw, you should not have added rootabega as an option; it is simply too tempting to pass up a chance to vote "rootabega" on something. I wish "rootabega" had been an option in the last national election...
My concern, and the reason I made this post is the staggering amounts of useless comments like "liberals hate freedom" "conservatives hate poor people" etc that might make the poster feel good, but are unproductive in the debate. (Yes, I am guilty of it too :3oops.
I just find it annoying and it seems to slow down the actual exchange of ideas, viewpoints, facts, etc that a website like this can otherwise do a good job at providing.
It is spelled, rutabaga, btw.
Hrm. It looks like I unintentionally derailed my own thread...
rootabegas hate carrots!
I wish I could vote rootebega again on something. That was really fun.
Can you imagine if rootabega won the 2012 Presidential election? Wouldn't that be awesome? I mean, think of the historic moment that would be....this country has never elected any root vegetable to the presidency...oh, waitaminute...yes it has. :mrgreen:
I am glad you are so easily amused :2razz:
You can milk a rootebega?
