What's this?

Using nuts on the fringes as stereotypical examples further divides us


Sure, this yoga class is totally dumb; so is a lot of stuff. Very few lefties would do anything but shake their heads at this, just like very few righties would do anything but shake their heads at something like declaring portions of the US to be white Christian societies (even if that's pretty much what some of those places are in fact). I bet you and I - and heck, most of us here - agree on 75%-85% of everything that truly matters, could have at least an open-minded discussion about another 15-20% of stuff, and will never agree on just 5-10% of the rest.
