I doubt most people on arse book are capable of debate.

I manage to share all the ideas I want with people through face to face, phone and letters, as regards to digital coms I use email, my web site and here.

I feel communications are far better face to face, on the phone or by letter, any thing requiring a key board is a poor second for me. Typing always gets in the way of my thinking and is an unnatural process to me and stops my flow and inhibits my reasoning, reading anything of any length on a screen is a real pain as well. But then I have never been the brightest tool in the box and have never claimed to be good at anything. I like things simple as most complexity is just noise that adds nothing to any debate.

I get the impression with the digital media that people are more interested in the technology rather than the message, sweeping generalisation I know to there will no doubt be the odd exception.

See my signature, it is my view of the world.

I have some sympathy with the view on FB, however like Twitter, which I do use to debate the anti's and some pro's with strange ideas, I believe we should not underestimate any medium that allows us a voice. I do not suggest of course that everyone should rush to use them, but they have their use, something not lost on the anti-lobby!

Adam I fully agree with you mate, face to face contact, the written word and sharing ideas are all a part of what's trying to be achieved. At the same time though the government, law enforcement and the antis all use the social media in on form or another. It's just another environment where they have had their way too long, it's time to take it to them for a change.

I do, at every opportunity!

The antis use social media to peddle their message so you either take the fight to them there - or lose your guns. It's very simple.

Nobody 'listens' to letters any more - it's dead tech - the political battle is fought on social media (especially twitter) whether you like it or not. I've encouraged three people to take up shooting in the last month alone. I've never met them. That's the power of it.

I agree but would add that it is as well as, not instead of, each medium has it's place!
