  > Instead of facebook, I now invite my far right friends over to my house where we can say exactly what we want in peace. And then we eat dinner with our copious children and discuss homeschooling, while marvelling at the rates of anxiety disorders in our leftist friends and acquaintances. Sounds nice. I've been trying to do something similar, arranging more campfires and such for discussion late into the evenings. Toss in some cigars and a bit of fine whiskey, you can have quite civil conversations with even a fairly diverse group. Those who tend to get riled up also tend to calm themselves down a bit with the whiskey, and having something else to do with your hands (cigar, pipe, etc) means that it's a lot easier for people to simply sit back, relax, and watch a chunk of conversation flow past. And it doesn't involve a bit of internet, cell phone, etc. I try to encourage people to leave their cell phones elsewhere. It's far more interesting as well to discuss with what you've got in your brain, instead of being able to shell out to "Well, this guy on YouTube says..." (I don't care to listen to him, either now or later).
