Is it lost cause trying to use "answers" as a forum to defend truth, justice and the American Way?

Every drop contributes to make an ocean. Its not a lost cause. People will take u seriously, atleast the ones who asked, even if they dont show. You have impacted their minds n thinking in a way.

Even I'm not crazy 4 points. Will get there answering only what I know n whats required. Lets do it.

No. I read a few of your answers and see your dilemma.

Some people can't accept that someone with your views can actually love their country. I'm in the same boat. They have totally bought into our new culture of fear and are willing to give up their precious freedoms for a sense of security.

They refuse to realize that the true patriot cannot support such a course of action.

You also seem to embrace reason, which many people see as a threat to faith.

I think you're doing the right thing.

However, there will always be a backlash.

Keep up the good work.

Although this is very noble of you, keep in mind that your opinions are just that. If there is a truth on politics & religion, we are far from finding it. This place might provide some insights for people but many are closed minded.

I poured out my heart on one answer here, providing examples from my own life and experience. It was totally a waste of time. I guess you also need to look at who is asking and their reason for asking. Some people don't really want to change their views or gain knowledge, they just want to make their own point heard.

Edit: I just reviewed some of your posts on religion and I do think you make some good points that I agree with. I think however that you are answering loaded questions which you shouldn't waste your time on. There is no way that you are going to influence people that ask these questions, to think at all. They already have lifelong formed beliefs (possibly instilled from their parents) that aren't going to change for anything. They just want to post so they can pick an answer that matches their beliefs, so they can feel that they are right. This might suggest that they are insecure in their beliefs but even coming from insecurity, they are likely to just be defensive to anyone disagreeing with their so-called questions. If you do decide to answer more of these types of questions, then I suggest not to use CAPS. Best to use cool logic and present it that way.

Do a search for "What reason do secularists have to say that Christians force their beliefs on them?" and you might see my point about loaded questions. Richard's answer was really excellent and well supported with historical examples but was wasted on a person who really didn't want to listen to anything different...how the best answer won by vote is questionable as it has many thumbs down.

This site is still very new, so I'm guessing that you haven't been posting here very long. So I would have to say that it's still too early to tell whether people like you (and myself, I might add) are having the desired impact on others who use the site. I do think that we accomplish far more by doing this than we could by, say, not doing this. I think, therefore, we should keep doing what we're doing until something better comes along.

Keep up the good work and I will too!

I'm doing this all for the points and no one can easily check them but me. Still, you filled up some space and I am eager to dish out what I received.

You are not going to change the world. You only have yourself to save. If you can write something smooth and flowing, people will read it for that reason alone. I don't know if you make any sense or not and I am not going to review your past essays as I tend to live "here and now."

Hey, if this is a fun thing for you to do, that is all that matters. Are you laughing when you click the submit button?

Your answers are far less in the middle than you seem to be willing to admit; however, I believe that you should continue to express your opinion. Additionally when tackling larger issues such as politics it would be prudent to support your supposed facts and be specific with example. By simple restating the inane drivel that is popular in some areas you reduce your own credibility, and further prevent that actual truth from being known.

Hmm... properly because it seems socialist europe (russia you're relating) exhibit screen their infants from an early age. infants are taught for the 1st 2 - 3 years with overarching popular advice yet whilst a infant exhibits organic means in a undeniable section they're better knowledgeable in that section so that they are able to realize their genuine means for the stable of the society. Nicolai Tesla substitute right into a Serbian, he's to blame for AC electrical energy and alter into so forward in his field it took our medical community years to get closer a number of his theories (others are nonetheless previous our draw close) he substitute into called a madman. His maximum spectacular invention is spoke of as the Tesla Coil look it up its way cool.. NASA encountered a situation working in area. Astro-naughts would desire to no longer write utilising pens. No gravity then no longer something feeding ink into the pen. u . s . spent hundreds of thousands coming up a pen that works in area. Russian Cosmonauts in simple terms used a pencil. The greatest advancements in warm-fusion means era technologies better hassle-free as a Tokamak gadget substitute into stepped forward in Russia. You mock Socialist society in view which you do no longer are attentive to it. particular there are particular issues that Capitalist society promotes that Socialism in simple terms does not do. Socialism does not truly artwork on a great scale as motivation stages must be generated on the factor to a gun. Superman could nonetheless be exalted in a socialist society yet he could additionally be press ganged into servitude on the factor to a Krypton gun.

i think you'd be hard pressed to convince anyone that "american", "truth", and "justice" should go in the same sentence. When the international community hears about the united states of america, we mostly have negative feelings and certainly do not see truth and justice coming from your country, infact what we see is quite the opposite, lies and injustice!

Dude, it's the internet. No one takes this seriously. It's possible you have shown a few people a different point of view, but you sure aren't going to convert the masses here.

Yes, I think answering questions is a really poor way to try to open people's eyes.
