Most times i don't bother getting into these arenas anymore, the sheeple only follow the crowd and to point out logic only gets us trampled to death. I just keep merging till i get to the exit lane , get away from the crowd, then head for the hills... i just leave them be.

There is that part of us that wants to rectify issues and misconceptions when we see them, this is part of the human condition, lolz. This can lead to people getting their noses out of joint and a "battle of wits" may ensue. at this point its no longer about the subject at hand and more about domination and victory. That in itself can be a fun time if you see the comedy of the situation. However, in most scenarios its not worth the effort to even engage in the event...

When we focus on winning and domination in a discussion or argument we lose sight of what we are trying to achieve, progress. if both parties are not invested in this then its is an exercise in futility. it is only with efforts in empathy, compassion, understanding etc. that we can gain ground on others perspectives and achieve the goal of progress.
