Re: Cameron - cuts are permanent, not to clear deficit.

People put their opinions up on this board, and they are sometimes asked to justify what they believe.

So they can either give further argument that supports their beliefs, or they can do something else.

Sometimes people will actually be big enough to admit they can't substantiate what they believe in, and amend their point of view accordingly. It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen.

More often though, if someone is challenged about their opinion, they bluster or try to deflect.

An argument is not just about stating an opinion. Otherwise you just end up with a pantomime. (Oh no you don't.) (Oh yes you do...)

A question is a startpoint that leads to more questions. Either you have a coherent argument, or you flounder. So questions are being asked on this board all the time.

It's not all that happens of course. Both the U-know section of the site, and this forum in particular are also a source of information and inspiration. It's sometimes an organisational tool too. See for example, Stevo's stuff about Shell in Ireland. Presumably donations and support have reached the protestors in Rossclare because of the publicity he's drawn by posting here.

It can even be light relief. We all need some of that from time to time after a hard day's arguing.
