Has The Backroom Increased Your Understanding of The World

[a completely inoffensive name]

I learned almost nothing from this place. For the most part, I learned more about someones position from researching it myself and not from their self righteous explanation/elaboration.

One exception:
Around when I first entered, Crazed Rabbit was awesome enough (although a bit hostile in the beginning) to fully explain his pro gun stance which I thought was more sensible then the anti gun people in the thread mostly regurgitating the same appeal to emotions. I have been for the most part pro gun since.
