Yes, if I were in a different situation, I might have different ideas about life and society. That's how perspective works. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 9, 14:13 9
- Perspective also involves understanding how other people think, especially people in different situations than your own. -- nm - Roger More Jan 9, 14:16 8
  - I understand how and why other people think differently. I merely disagree. - Dr.Vermin Jan 9, 14:20 5
    - I see your IM from all sides of politics - though I only get frustrated when it disagrees with my own opinion :) -- nm - Roger More Jan 9, 14:37

        If we're all so offensively liberal that you feel the need to continually mock us, why do you even come here? - Trish Jan 9, 14:40 1
        
        "not smart enough"... I guess I just like seeing my theories proved. Thanks. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 9, 15:07
  - On re-reading, this post sounds more lecturing than I meant it to be. Sorry -- nm - Roger More Jan 9, 14:18 1
