@Gina by the way, how are you doing in general (not in relation to the election).. We had some enjoyable debate about the election but I realized I forgot to ask how you were doing

@freemo I'm good, thanks for asking! I had a really relaxing day today with the weather being so nice.

The best kind of debates are with someone who you disagree with, but are still able to have a civil and enjoyable discussion with :)

@Gina I agree entierly. I love difference of opinon, thats how we grow and learn, even if we dont change our opinions.

Its really what I love about the Dutch to be honest and why I moved there. Most americans, particularly liberals but also non-liberals, will have a complete meltdown over a difference of opinion, even minor ones. Not only can you not be civil after that, they will actively be aggressive and seek it out, its horrible. The Dutch know how to disagree, even strongly disagree, and not make it personal unless it is really justified. Obviously if i was a legitimate hateful racist you'd probably judge me, and should.
