4. Please take the time needed to know what they're discussing.

That's the absolute starting point for any sane conversation on the subject of Honduras, and what has been happening there, and why the U.S. is supporting this filthy, violent, torture-happy, and murderous right-wing regime in its war against dissent, and against the poor.

The U.S. government financially, materially supports it, and has used it to acquire 3 operating bases in that small country with U.S. taxpayers' hard-earned dollars since the violent and dirty coup several years ago.

Conscientious people feel obligated to inform themselves on subjects like this.

Don't spend your time attempting to discuss a subject you clearly don't grasp, when you could be using that time to learn what has been happening there.
