Can members of the YA community ask reasonable political questions?
It seems that many YA community members on all ends of the political spectrum use the Politics forum ask hyperbolic, uninformed, rhetorical questions for the mere purpose of rallying fellow ideologues and getting a rise out of the other side.
This trend is unlikely to change anytime soon, so I figure I might as well add my own rhetorical question to the mix:
Is it possible for people on YA to ask legitimate political questions for the purpose of real debate, and to possibly try and reach a greater understanding of those who might have alternate point of view politically?
10 points to the most thoughtful/amusing answer.
