Anyone can entertain questions. And many do. Comedians for example. Or real elected politicians at Town Hall events.

Charlie Kirk doesn't appear to have made a name for himself just for doing this. And I have not seen any clips where he tries in any meaningful way to find common ground or understand someone with another point of view. He would tell gay people they should ...[text shortened]... eel better about themselves. It's not language that should be considered heroic or worthy of praise.
Who said he sought common ground? He wanted to discuss opinions in a respectful way, giving people the time to make points and ask questions. Common ground or a bipartisan agreements doesn’t make something correct or good it just means different people agree.

One thing I've learned by reading media reports is that he was all in favour of Americans having guns, and then he gets killed by (presumably) an American with a gun. Quite what this 'proves' about the rightness or wrongness of his philosophy is debatable, but one cannot miss the irony or pathos.
His point about guns was one of the dangers of the 2nd afmenment people would be shot. With or without gun laws people get shot. Chicago has strick gun laws, lots of gun deaths.

He spread hate and nothing but hat; period. Same as worthless Trump and his absolutely worthless son don jr. If you can't see this, I highly question your supposed Christianity. And your making posts on how much hate there is in the USA? OMG! Get a clue. 😲 A-DUH!

Something in the Bible about, live by hate, die by hat. Bingo. "live by the sword die by the sword." Live by the gun, die by the gun." Something like that. 😴

I don't believe he ever spoke out against the second amendment; as I've read it, he considered the odd death here and there to be a sort of collateral damage in the name of 'liberty' and the right of the civilian population to bear arms. Perhaps this is media, bias, I don't know. In any event, this whole 'this is my opinion, prove me wrong' is ridiculous. Any opinion can be proved 'wrong' by having a different opinion. It's like me setting up a tent somewhere and saying 'I support Chelsea Football Club, prove me wrong.'

This is my point.

Why should anyone care about engaging with an audience that you disagree with if you're just saying they are wrong and parroting old talking points?

His attempts at a conversation wasn’t always met with respectful dialog, how many times have seen here respectful disagreements?

Most of his videos on the internet, you pick one, I'm not wasting my time on that dead hate-monger. He supports Trump and his anti-God liars agenda; simple as that.

[Proverb 10:12 NIV] 12 Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.
[Proverb 15:17 NIV] 17 Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred.
[Ezekiel 35:11 NIV] 11 therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will treat you in accordance with the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.

Not really; you made the claim there was not one; you show me.

"hey I'm gay and proud"

"Well in the Bible it says you should be stoned to death"

Why should that style of dialogue be celebrated in society? There's zero substance, like a reality show. It seems like it's just dumb content for social media.

Nothing to be proud of bud.
You know, us conservatives were really neither here nor that on the subject of queers. When you started in the schools telling the children it was just fine is when you went too far.

I have no idea what you are talking about? Who is "you"? I don't work at a school.
