Forum Overview :: ELECTION WATCH 2012 :: Re: Shall I start in on Ayn Rand and Objectivism, then?

[quote name="Ryan Paul"][quote name="Mischief Maker"]You know, for all the love we lavish on it, we can't forget that our democracy is a tool. It's a tool designed to function on good-faith debate. To debate in good faith, you must open yourself to the possibility of being convinced against your beliefs. [/quote] I'll go second. As soon as I see someone on Caltrops indicate they changed their mind about something, I'll do it too. As if there is a single thing a Libertarian, Objectivist or Republican that could ever say that would make you change your mind for a second. Look man. Romney won the debate last night. I know he bullied that old PBS moron and I know that Barack Obama doesn't care about the first debate because he knows and we know he'll destroy Mitt in the third, which is all anyone will remember. You have changed my mind about video games, however, and convinced me to try some I otherwise wouldn't have. If that counts. :)[/quote]
