I've Always Wondered If People Who Block Each Other From Expressing Their Opinions Do So Because They Have So Little Confidence In Their Own. To Me, Encountering An Opposing Point Of View Is A Chance To Gain A Deeper Understanding Of The Issues At Stake And Develop My Own Point Of View.

That's What Really Distinguishes This Country From Others.
