Very well said. IMO anyone who disagrees either doesn't know enough of "the situation" or has simply scanned over your words, not actually digested them.

That's not a useful stance to take on things. "Anyone who disagrees with this is ignorant or didn't understand" is a recipe for never having a useful conversation.
You want people to change their minds? Spend at least a little time listening to them. Not "I'm waiting for you to shut up" fake listening, actual listening. Learn why they think what they do. You have to counter their biases/ignorance/arguments on their own terms, anything else is more self-important posturing on your part than useful debate.
I dont at all disagree with what your saying, that is how I would usually approach things. In the context of some things mentioned on the thread I feel my sentence is appropriate.
Nobody on this thread could say/articulate a single point or argument that could possibly counteract the sheer amount of corruption that is occurring not only in the US, but everywhere. Hence my ears are essentially closed for business.
What I was saying was that the OP is absolutely right, and anybody who even considers disagreeing hasn't done their research or has not registered the seriousness of the situation when reading the comment. I was hoping to add weight to an already very good point, hence the seriousness of my tone.
