And to think you used to give me shit about this very thing when you first came on board.
Good to see you've matured.

I think it is a bit simplistic to take the view that truth often lies in the middle. For instance, Iranian nukes, Iraq WMD, Assad using chemical weapons etc. If you were to say truth is in the middle then you would be allowing lies and propaganda to colour half the debate.That would be a bit naive considering they were all lies.


Extremes are simplistic, Miles. "Somewhere in between" is complex and takes analysis.

Extremes are easy to get to.

"All Arabs are bad and must die."
"All of American government is bad and must be mistrusted."
"Israel is a criminal state and nothing it ever does or claims has any merit."
"No one should have kids."






The world is grey, Miles.
