Hermskii, if you
really want to get a reasonable discussion going, you're going to have to do a few things:
1. Put forth better arguments than what one might find in high school debate clubs. Better yet, put forth an actual argument.
2. Stop being inflammatory. Do you honestly expect to say something like this:
The true libs here will never change their mind about anything they believe and that is fine. Sad but fine.
...and get a fair response? This statement alone shows that you are not going to be changing your opinions any time soon, so why should anyone else?
Your topics seem trolling in nature, and that's because they are. You said it yourself - your jabs get a clear response from people. That is exactly what trolling is - being insulting or saying a controversial opinion in order to get a reaction out of people.
Anyway, I'm not a very political person. The only reason I'm posting this is because one of my coworkers is from Texas; he's an honest, intelligent, and very hard-working individual, and I just hate the thought that the first thing people will assume when meeting him is that he's just like you. He is conservative, but the difference between the two of you in that regard is that, while you try to change the opinions of people on a forum for a 16 year old video game series, he actually campaigns for changes in this small town.
Basically, stop making Texas look as stupid as everyone thinks it is.
