    Which reminds me, you've left the light on in the kitchen again.

    Nope my lights have face recognition, when they don’t see me they shut off automatically, so I don’t get yelled at :)

    Does anyone know the last person who “won” a political argument on social media? I’m sure someone has but I’ve never seen it happen...

    There at some point we are more on "irrational belief" than political argument.
    that's why despite everything said some go through forever.

    Risky. If something goes wrong it'll be your face's fault. ;)

    People should be thinking of it as winning or losing. It's debate and learning. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong. Hopefully I get batter (as @Callumity said) at thinking along the way.

    I've had a little bit of renewed interest in this thread. Seeing all these wokes/lefties/liberals etc contesting @Callumity 's drum has made things slightly livlier. :p:)

    It’s interesting to me to see “outsiders” view of our politics. I have to say you are much more enlightened than any of us would be about yours, myself included.

    I suppose when you have a character like Trump it creates a bit more interest.

    He definitely creates a reaction one way or another. I told my father, a staunch Republican I wouldn’t vote for him because I felt he would embarrass us as a nation. I still feel that way. I also feel JB is not any better. Crap sandwich or crap soufflé you’re still being offered crap.

    The difference between is they are certain. I am not.

    Back to my friend Voltaire:

    I have immediate family there (in NYC/LI) and have probably visited about 40 times myself. I know at least part of the country quite well.

    Well I'm not sure that's entirely true.

    My bucket list includes a trip to Scotland to play St Andrews and some of the other courses on the Open Championship rotation. I would also love to see Argyllshire Scotland, where my family immigrated from in 1829. I’m part of the Campbell Clan.
