Why can't we understand that?

Everyone is different? Democrats call Republicans idiots and vice versa. If you don't understand where people are coming from or what they've experienced in life that made them think and feel as they do, how can you call them an idiot for not understanding? Not everyone has had the same experiences in life. I'm sure that whatever party you are affiliated with, you don't 100% agree with them, but you have more in common with them than the other party.

thanks for reading.

Update:

JohnnyK.......thanks for not making sense. Ask a good question, get no answer. Thanks for solidifying my question.

    Everyone is different, and few people like every stand their party takes, they just agree with one side or the other the most.

    Not every D or R calls the other idiots, its still possible to dislike the policies and discuss them, it's just that it's difficult in this arena because not only are some trolling and just looking for responses, but it attracts the most ardent on either side.

    I think if we are asked a serious question, which rarely happens, the usual suspects write the usual tripe and we don't really read or care about it, we just go on to the next one.

    Its not taken seriously, I mean, how many times can you read about Obama's birth certificate, or when he said there were 57 states without becoming numb? Even when the question doesn't concern Obama some fool is going to think that's a great idea.

    No one reads that or cares what that person says.

    I think people need to study The Constitution of The United States of America, and that might change some peoples perspective of this nation!

    Yes, that is true. Life's experiences shape us.
