As they are "educated", they see the people presented to them as "the smart ones" holding these views, so by agreeing they can pat themelves on the back as being smart like them. Many are in fact childlike intellectually, and will react to disagreement as would a child.Mr Evilwrenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128693353576508276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924019984839391294.post-78493911249811044992012-02-16T13:20:38.586-08:002012-02-16T13:20:38.586-08:00Very refreshing to hear such logic from a Canadian...Very refreshing to hear such logic from a Canadian.

I would not do well driving a fully loaded tractor trailer, does that mean they should be pulled off the road? To a Liberal Gun Control Activist, it does. Do they not realize that? How do we make them realize a gun is only dangerous in the hands of the inexperienced like anything else?<br /><br />Sebastian (Snowflakes in Hell)? Really? Totally checking it out now!
