Spirited debate of opposing sides of an issue is not being rude. Name calling and insults are. However, I haven't seen any in this thread.

I just returned from watching my first high school debate tournament. The folks posting above who think some who responded to this thread are rude need to go sit in on a debate tournament. The participants argue passionately their position and point out flaws in the opponents case and logic. It's very interesting and served as a reminder to me that "arguing" a belief or position is still a valid form of resolution...as long as the participants are civil.

That being said, remember...Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun!
