Joao Pedro <jpnitya@mail.esoterica.pt> asks
: Isn't a discussion an exchange of information and ideas?
: How can you have a discussion in the first place without
: different ideas and opinions?
How can two biologists exchange information about life in the
Cambrian era, if they're constantly interrupted by biblical
literalists saying there never was a Cambrian era?
If we want to discuss our ideas with others who strongly disagree,
there's a forum for that, too: it's called Usenet.
