well, let's see *you* hold to your principles and at the same time actually try to be able to get anything done around here. -- nm - Obama si Apr 24, 12:53 6
- what good are principles at all if don't hold to them? -- nm - pigby Apr 24, 12:57 5
  - Depends. Different principles have different degrees of importance. - TWuG Apr 24, 13:01
  - what good are principles if they lead to poor outcomes? -- nm - Roger More Apr 24, 12:59 3
    - should principles be easily swayed? if so, are they really principles? -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:00 2
      - Not easily. But Turkey and Armenia are working towards normal relations. They don't even have an open border at the moment - Roger More Apr 24, 13:04
      - Not every principle has the same degree of importance. If you let a minor principle stand in the way of achieving a great good are you justified? -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 13:03
I'm pretty sure he promised compromise with his whole "working across the aisle" thing. - TWuG Apr 24, 12:52
