Thanks, Laird. This is what I am talking about. I consider myself "pro-choice" but I still respect your position as "pro-life" and if you argued your position, I would argue back, and keep it civil. You might have seen how I got treated on the trans thread because I have problems with trans ideology, which is another "recognized" "left" position. So, yes, I very much agree with you that we need to debate issues outside of some paradigm of "left" or "right."
Hm, on climate change on Skeptiko, it does seem mainly brits (there are a lot of Brits and Canadians on the forum, which is great), but who besides Hurm? It's been awhile since I read climate-change threads on here, other than that really long one with that guy who was trolling! Unless you mean Alex! :)
