I think the biggest problem is that people are taught to believe instead of to think and to talk instead of listen. It is easier to dismiss someone as a racist, pinko, fascist, socialist, etc. than to listen to their side of the debate and assess what portions should be accepted and what portions rejected. People are lazy and thought takes work. Why invest the time and effort educating yourself on a topic when you can pull out a broad brush and paint them into irrelevance with a word or two? Thinker,

More money, less money? More freedom, less freedom? It is on the personal front that the good and the bad in the world appears; the flaws with each system are that man is simply incapable of seeing other men with any true empathy and warmth.

Ad hominem is an emotional attack. If you cannot defend your stance without calling someone a “fascist” or a “pinko” or a “racist” or some other epithet then you need to get a better argument. The “Right” call the “Left” Hedonistic Communists because they never met a tax they didn’t like and want to take money out of my wallet and give it to poor people while teaching free love and gays are the best thing ever. The “Left” call the “Right” Repressed Fascists because they are ultranationalists that want to take money out of my wallet and give it to rich people while teaching abstinence and gays are going to Hell. How about we tell both sides of the isle stay out of our wallets as well as our bedrooms. I’d like to keep the money I earn without the Lefties trying to tax it away and the Right trying to make it so Corporate America doesn’t have to give me a decent wage in the first place. All I want is a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s wage without having to give away a third of what I earn to Uncle Sam so he can give it away. Here’s an idea. How about we quit wasting time trying to come up with new names to call each other and start a dialog so we can fix everything that is broken and keeps getting worse. “Let’s stop praying for someone to save us and let’s start saving ourselves.” - KMFDM What Mr. Tanner fails to understand is that insults are the last refuge of the incompetent.
