High probability.

You're right, everyone else does roll their eyes at you.

i just wanted to turn this into a marijuana reference:

"High" probability.

May you too have to deal with the drug question when you have kids.

All you liberals are complete asshats, but you do make quite a few good points.

Purely by accident no doubt.

[rah]

No doubt.

Yeah, they say as you get older you usually get more conservative, but I think I've gone the opposite way. Poly gets some of the credit for it.

I don't believe that. Sure, the self-interested have more to lose as they grow older, but on questions more abstract...

Indeed. I think both extremes are inherently unjust.

I go a bit farther. I don't even try to argue. The conversations tend to spin out of all civility and then go down the drain. But they can be entertaining to watch.

It's only entertaining when others are doing it.
