  That's actually a great opportunity to see if you've got real friend material on your hands or not. One of my very best friends is one I don't agree with on some important topics. We discuss them until we each understand the other's point of view and can identify the exact point of divergence. Then we're done.

  Dave you posted this in another thread and i loved it so much i had to say this in its own topic, i love debates that get right to the point and i miss it when i dont get the opportunity. Its usually done best over a pint of beer or cup of tea in someones lounge until both parties are well and truly happy the other person is wrong but equally right or maybe even some new ground is discovered and even sometimes when someone else changes their mind! Unfortunately since having the baby (diamondblue and sirona have this to look forward to) me and megan mostly blow raspberries at each other and stuff because its all we know.

  Neat! I'm a *thread*! Thanks Dude.

  That's a great feeling, when you've wended your way through all the arguments, put on the other person's hat, and finally reached that point where you both know and understand the same things, but you disagree. The friend I referred to above do that a few times a month and they are the times I treasure most.

  People you can do that with are rare. When you find one, you gotta thank your lucky stars.

  It is a very satisfying feeling and one of the joys of life - having a good ol' argument with someone and just enjoying that moment and sometimes not wanting it to end. Congratulations on becoming a thread

  Dear AA (Dave): i don't know you well enough to know if we might agree on a lot or a little - but you always present yourself in an honest, authentic, and respecting (as well as self-respecting) way that has placed you in my heart. Now, don't go disagreeing with me on that...

  Personally, I think he's a bit of a goof. Maybe even a complete idiot!

  Only a *bit* of a goof? Dan, Dude, you wound me! ;-)

  We need to get together and disagree over some beers soon. I'm still sick at the moment, but soon.

  Good shout KW! And the blowing raspberries comment - so cute!

  I had good cause to admire an Almost Athiest gem yesterday on the multiple sexual partners thread. Maybe this can be the Best of AA thread and we'll just add the links or collections of comments to it as they come along. Assuming he has anymore left....
