You can see the ideas and arguments from the video played out in these threads any others. It is also quite a useful reminder that if you have a group of liberals together, they become as closed minded and controlling as many individual liberals believe groups of conservatives to be. It is very difficult to see it from within the group though.
I wonder how many individuals (whatever your stance) really are willing/able or actually do "step out" from their group and realise that other peoples views are just as correct and justified and valuable as yours.
