I'm at a complete loss why most people think everything has to be so binary. It either is or is not something. I'm frustrating to me that it is so difficult to find common ground with people.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Some things are binary. Something either is or is not the truth. Before a constructive debate can take place, you have to agree on the basics. Both sides have to accept that the other is there showing good will.
The current problem in America, as I see it, is that extremists (especially on the Right) think their political opponents are out to destroy the nation. They don't accept that a culture shift away from the values of Leave It To Beaver is not the end of America.

Me too. Between black and white - the world seems to have lost all shades of gray. Everything is polar opposite - one, or the other. All kinds of generalized, blanket statements with no flex. And forget about a conversation with reasoning, or understanding ! Is social media playing a part ? Too many kneejerk opinions given with little knowledge ?
What's happening to us !?

Well, you can always discuss the weather, or sports.
By the way, this website has a bit of a learning curve.
For members who are open to dating, you will see that certain thumbnails and profiles have a heart symbol on them with a percentage. This identifies which members are open to dating, and the percent shows approximately how compatible you are with them. If you click the heart symbol on the top of their profile, you can see how it is determined.
You can improve your score in general by answering all the profile questions and writing a bio, which also earns you website points.
Commenting on posts and writing your own earns more points. At level two you can private message people, and at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.
The website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.
Many people prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find compatible partners.
In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Browse" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Click on the "Discuss" button, then "Nearby" to find members near you also.
Or click on the "About" button at the top left of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
Points are now being given to level 3+ members who chat. You can see chat rooms on the group main page or at [agnostic.com].

Seems to be symptomatic of our post-modern society in which so many people grow up in their own isolated social media bubble.
