This is not aided by the fact that I was up until 2am reading The Hunger Games last night.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on The Hunger Games. :) I read all three books in less than a week, and was up until after 3am this morning finishing the final book in the trilogy. I can't remember the last time I read a series of books this quickly, so it's safe to say that I loved them. In fact, I think it's going to be a long time before I forget about Katniss, Peeta, Rue etc. Powerful and thought-provoking stuff!
I don't know that I have any particular advice on how to have more constructive discussions, except maybe to recognize when the disagreement is based on different perceptions and to acknowledge that just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not happening.

Yes, this.
