Usually I go months at a time before I have to sign in after being sighed out.

But the idea that human beings tend to notice and remember facts that confirm an idea more easily than facts that don't confirm it, is a bare fact of human psychology. It's not a new idea either. Francis Bacon (considered to be the father of the scientific method) noticed it and wrote about it nearly 400 years ago:

So, if someone were to tell you that they know a certain proposition is true, because they have seen the evidence for themselves, and then go on to dismiss confirmation bias as a possible cause for their belief, because they have not personally seen evidence that confirmation bias is real, exactly how barking mad would you rate that person to be? less

But sometimes they end up rolling off into personal accusations - some of which are so mistaken they're just plain incorrect.
Sometimes people play devil's advocate and present the question in such a way as to draw out the thinking of people they may disagree with - perhaps to better understand that thinking, or maybe just being slightly trolly, a little mischievous.
Sometimes we read things between the lines that are not there at all, assuming we know the questioner's mind when we don't.
What are some good questions to ask one another in order to clarify what the question is asking? less

Cons: Too much regulation makes them have to raise the price or some regulation stops other companies making generics or some regulation prevents doctors from choosing other alternatives. The companies just "can't help themselves" because the government makes them act bad and they would normally act better.
Libs: Government doesn't regulate the corporations enough and the corporations run rampant over the consumer putting profits before people. There's no true socialized health care and companies are making money off of sick people. Sick people need financial help to counteract the profiteering health care corporations.

That quote has been useful to me. It gives me a chance to STOP from putting my foot in my mouth.
Theoretically that should be enough. Run whatever air you have through a cooler and pump it in. the cold air try to sink lessening or ideally stopping the chimney effect of the cyclone.

Trump could be very naive . He could be a sitting duck. He could be a target for getting back some of what he has dished out. I wonder how gracious the president of Mexico is and what kind of reception Donald J. Trump will be accorded? Does Donald J. Trump expect to be complimented? We all know how fond he is of compliments. Think he'll actually go or will he refuse/back out/stay where it is safe among HIS OWN KIND?
