Because it is cathartic and sometimes we just need to vent. And sometimes it is simply mental masturbation. And…..sometimes….rarely, but I have actually encountered people who will differ, but still listen. Almost NEVER from the other side. They know who they are and you know who they are. The choir on the right will disagree. The choir on the left continue to put on their rose colored glasses, drink the Koolaid and threaten to kill anyone who disagrees with their peaceful, loving ways and always agree with each other because it requires no work ethic or thinking.
