        There is a difference between opinion and information. I know that you’re very upset with my words (though I’m not really sure why) but they are words, with meaning. I’m not asking for your opinion (you already gave that), I’m asking for how you arrived at it.

        We are here to discuss this. We are not in a Burger King checkout.

                    Just trying to be polite. Let see, how does this go? Where are you from so I can properly tailor my political screed to your country?

                    In all seriousness, I didn’t expect “we shouldn’t shout political slogans at strangers” to receive so much pushback. Very strange.
