    If you want other people to listen to you, you need to listen to them. Disagreeing with people all the time will make them less inclined to listen to what you have to say. What I'm saying is that there are times when using your 1st amendment rights are appropriate, and times when it isn't. Not everyone who posts their opinion or says it wants to debate over it all the time.

    That certainly makes sense, yes. I'd agree with all of that. The devil, as usual, is in the details of what times one considers it to be appropriate.
    Here's where you lose me again. Posting one's opinion on an internet board (or even putting it into a conversation, especially with strangers) kind of begs for an answer. Everyone else has just as much right to post or say their opinion, whether it is agreement or disagreement to one's own. If one doesn't wish to debate their opinion, or even just read/hear others' replies to it, then perhaps one shouldn't write/state it publicly. Especially, I would submit, when that opinion is itself contrary to the OP or the tenor/general agreement of the thread/conversation in question.

    We will just have to agree to disagree, then. I for one won't debate over someone's opinion, because it's a waste of time. You're not going to change someone's opinion with your own opinion no matter how hard you try.

    Question.. in the daily scheme of working... why does it even matter whether I like hims or hers? Or conservatives or liberals? Or Catholics or Protestants or Jews? Or, most importantly....chile with or without beans? That's really important to Texans!

    I guess how to drive safely, not running over the idiots that pull right in front of you and whether you prefer sunrises or sunsets just isn't important.

    I really dont care what your sexual prefetence is. If I want to know for some reason, I'll ask!

    Your sexual orientation on has nothing to do with driving a truck. As far as what other people think, I think most drivers are far too absorbed with their own situation to even notice. Besides, when driving OTR, you aren't going to have a social life anyway. As far as the CB goes, throw it out the window; it's just a bunch of ignorant noise that doesn't make you any money.
