Defending open borders knowing that I'm right, or just admitting that I'm right. Why would anyone bother trying? Your choice of language and rationalization reflect a confirmation bias, and any attempt to argue with you would just cause the backfire effect. Which to be honest is an issue reflected in a lot of the political topics in this board. It makes me wonder whether people ever actually think that they are going to have an effect on another person's opinion, when it's likely they're just arguing to rationalize and reinforce their own opinion. Anyway, I have no interest on commenting on the topic at hand itself, as it'd be pointless. For all those who do, have fun ranting I guess. <cite>sveksii posted [p:909067918] in Please Def...
