Like liberals are anti-christian-judgemental-bastards who think people are too stupid to govern themselves? Did you know that late term abortion is the practice of killing a baby at so late a stage in developement that it's a fully formed, funtioning human?

yep. the richest fattest people are in north america. bill gates alone could support a small country, let alone feed millions of people. but does he? sure he donates millions of dollars pretty regularily but thats like donating 100 bucks to you or me. theres no reason such a small population should hold so much. working hard only gets you so far.. the rest is playing with money to make it the most effective. my grandfather isnt rich but i bet you he put more into his farming than any accountant ever did to their job

Yes, well, I'm a moderate extremist. I'd rather kill the public than let them pass legislation that could hurt me. That's why we have hidden ballots, so people can get away with [-peep-] and nobody knows who did it. The fact is that half the population is SO simple minded that you can't even have a decent arguement with them. And half the time they don't even know why they hold the opinions they have.

Anyway, I see a lot more extremism on the side of the left than the right. Perhaps that's the right wing using a soft bark with a loud bite. Perhaps leftist just like to whine more, while ultra-conservatives are sneekier.

The aim of the Liberal movement is a society without morals or norms. The aim of the Ultra Conservatives is a society without individuality. My hope is for a society that accepts individuality without completely comprimising moral values. Regardless of what the Left says, some things are still sacred, like life and property. That's something ultra-Consevatives need to reconsider as well. Both sides seem to want to rob certain people of their basic human rights. Thank YOUR god that they usually can't agree on which ones!

In a society where politics is a competition of opposite evils, the fact that they argue all the time and get little done is our salvation!

Reply to Crashman

crashman perhaps you see left wing extremists more becasue you ignore the right wing extremists?



i feel that ANY extreming wether left or right or north or south etc... is going to far. just as any religious extremists wether christians who kill doctors or muslims who kill americans. its the same thing.

if there were NO extremists then the world would be safe as everyone would leave each other alone to get along with thier average lives.


but unfortunatly their are extremists. ON ALL SIDES may i add. i certianly realise that there are some extreme left wing groups, but there are also extreme right wing groups such as the group that killed the abortion doctor, the white power gang, bill gates, and george bush.

just as hard core GE protestors crash into labs and break stuff, anti war protestors attack cops and embassys, blah blah blah the lists go on on both sides

extremist groups are not limited to one side. its a sad but true fact of life. (ooOooooO i wanna see some extremist monks do some serious arse whooping now that would be a cool extremist group. "find your center be-arch" )

Anyway, true moderates are often accused by BOTH sides of belonging to the other, I'm often accused of being a leftist by my parents friends, and a right winger by less mature stupid people (the difference between left and right is mainly the maturity level of stupid people).

even if they get accused of being either way, well to the people they are arguing with they are against them coz they are extremists

you got FU-KING SOLDIERS IN IRAQ RIGHT NOW YOU IDIOT. that is a right wing thing. you got the KKK that is right wing. these people do hold demonstrations, infact they kill people in their demonstrations.

left wing people don't go round shoting people when they get pissed off, they go and hold a peacefull protest.

left wing people are normally protesting againt things the right wing governments have done.

while right wing people are going to court trying to get stuff done, or ding things illegally. e.g. genetic engineers were trying to use stem cells that is a right wing protest. its not in the right wing nature to protest because protests require a comunity and right wingers are against comunity and for individuals, a protest of individuals is a DUMB IDEA


anyway i'm not even gonna bother arguing with you. you know nothing of the differences between the sides and try to say that you are moderate.

my arse your moderate.

Did you know that what they classify as a late term abortion can be performed at 14 weeks? That there is a 0% survival rate for "delivered" children at that stage? The problem is, if you ask the spinners of that bullsh!t about it, they make believe that there is a functional human being delivered, however the term "late term abortion" refers to abortions in the second trimester also... which have no survival rate at the start of the trimester and a miniscule survival rate ( at the end of the trimester. Fact of the mater is a fetus before it reaches a pound (usually around 23rd/24th week) has a 0% survival rate-- it's not viable. Physically it is fully developed it has all of its parts... but can't survive outside of the womb at all. Once a baby reachs a pound (usually between 23rd-27th week) there is about a 14% chance of survival in optimal conditions. The way the debate is frequently worded and such it makes it appear as if they're delivering a living child then killing it... fact of the matter is though - they aren't.

Well. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Why is society so polaraized in an Us vs Them way. Republicans hate the democrats...Liberals hate the conservatives...Christians are stupid...Environmentalists are tree huggers... Its gone beyond friendly jabbing at one another in debates. Now we degrade each other until we ourselves are degraded. We don't need political groups to foster ideological hate; we've up to our ears in our own egotistical blame-hate already!!! What follows is my PM to Scammy explaining what I posted in the Expectations thread...I hope maybe someone will get something out of it.

Just in the due course of conversation here. It wasn't any one particular thing, but an accumulation of things said here and there. Also, a little bit of shame from being in the same "group" as those people that wouldn't let the poor woman down in Florida die. ITs a combination of a lot of things, but mostly pent up frustration. I come to this forum to talk to people that are different from me. I come here hoping to meet people that have different ideas that I can maybe learn from. However, it seems like they just have more of the same thing I find here in America...predjudice, stereotypes, an hate...lots of it, for things they have been taught to hate.

What I was trying to do was get people to think about their perceptions of people and the "groups" they put them in. For instance, if you stated you're religious, you'd instantly get 5 responses telling you how your email is the cause of all the worlds problems...try it and see. Or if I said I'm proud to be an American, you'd instantly get five responses telling you ow evil your country is and how you're a fool for thinking that. People don't give you any credit for maybe thinking, I'm religious, but I don't agree with everything that comes out of the ultra-conservative religious extremists. You just get lumped into the same box. There isn't any allowance made for thought...its all just labels that get put on people. THe ironic thing is that it seems to me that the people who scream the loudest in favor of toleration, understanding, and compassion are the one's who exhibit the least of those characteristics.



Please guys...not many things in this world have ever gotten fixed or solved by hating the other guy. Comprimise doesn't happen this way...just more hate is created. Show some understanding, common sense, and leave the hate rhetoric to the politicians...

Reply to Grub

Personally I'm very biased, but it's not against any religion or race or sex. It's against stupidity and people trying to pigeonhole others into what they think, drives me absolutely nutszoid :).

I honestly couldn't care what religion someone else, all religions have done things that they definetly shouldn't be proud of. I don't care what race someone is because an individual can be good or bad as the case may be and that doesn't mean the rest of the persons race is. I don't care what sex someone is because the sex roles are largely socially based on what is expected out of the particular gender and anyone who cares to can go beyond the role (I've known women who were physically and women who were mentally my superior in every way.) However, I have no tolerance for intentionally stupidity or people who try to force other people to believe/think/accept what they believe. Pisses me right off.

If i'm unintentionally prejud against anyone it is the lowerclass of society in general, I suppose that falls back to my extreme dislike of anyone who is unwilling to even attempt to better their life and is willing to leach off of everyone else indefinetly. (Everyone can need some help now and again, but when it gets down to the abusive levels *Swak*.)

Reply to HolyGrenade

Stupidity in the way I'm refering to it would be broadly defined across society by anyone viewing it as such.

I'm not talking lack of knowledge, that is acceptable and correctable.

An easy example of stupidity, every morning at 8:30am like clockwork the helpdesk gets a call from a user who let her pc run all night and it opens up the lock screen that says "press ctrl-alt-delete" blah blah blah and everyday for the past 2 YEARS she has called to ask what she should do. That's fscking stupid. Infact, I think she's a prime example of someone that needs a visit from darwin. Did I mention she's the manager of finance and is responsible for 2000 people? She's far from mentally disabled (which would make this enitrely another story), she's just fscking stupid.

Shadus

Reply to shadus

Not at all unless she is using her money up on alcohol or drugs. Based just on what you wrote she's obviously making an effort. Although I will add, one of my friends is working 30h/week at 8.00/hr, has a kid, is getting no help (her family is unable, and she's to proud to take it elsewhere. Doesn't get alimony or child support either) and is getting alone fairly well without any gov help (she doesnt have money to burn or anything but they eat well enough and she can get clothing and school supplies as needed.)

I'm talking more along the lines of woman spends 4 years on welfare "unable" to get a job, then gets on disability for "mental illness" then gets all 7 of her kids on disability and her husband too.

Leaching.

Aid should be there for when its needed, but each case needs examined very very closely and abuse needs to be prevented. To quote, "Getting on disability is hard, but once you know the ropes its easy to get anyone else who is interested on it." I'll leave the name off the quote for obvious reasons, but she has a masters degree in communication and a brand new car, and lives *considerably* better than I do and hasn't worked in 7-8 years... nor has any of her family. All on welfare and disability. Wonderful abuse of the system and denial of resources to people who honestly DO need it.

In my area, the non-abusive variety (I'd say a good 80% are non-abusive, but at the same time they're NOT getting the level of benefits they *NEED* becaues of the other 20% doing a rape job on the system), but I never said to eliminate it entirely, I think it needs controlled in a much stronger way.

Perhaps I'm a bit guilty of this myself calling people who refuse to understand idiots, but it's such a broad definition it's like calling a person who appears caucasion "white" or a person who appears african "black" even though you don't know they heritage with 100% certainty.

Just to clear things up I'll list a few things that shouldn't be tampered with no matter how desperate the situation:

Civil liberty.
Basic human rights including Right to Privacy.
Under no circumstances should business needs be placed at a higher piority over rights of an individual.
Speedy trials for everyone, who will be regarded as Innocent till proven guilty.

Thats just the start...

How far to the left does that push me?
Left, right, right, wrong. Where eve you place me, this is who I am.

No one is saying the US is evil. The US is greedy. It's the richest, most powerfull nation on earth and it exerts it's full power to become even more wealthy.
Each day the US screws people the world over. <b><i> WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? </b></i> Does the rest of the world not try and defend it's 'right' to be rich? Do the starving understand that your wealth is more important to you than the lives of thousands.

Through <i>our</i> inaction, a lot more people die every year than the 3000 on 9/11. I can live with myself because I have come to realise that I have not the strength to change the world, but I try to help. But you, you who marks a person for death each time you get your paycheck, how can you possibly pretend innocence? How can anyone?
The US evil? No, we are.

Thanks Ede...look at who is responding to my post...the people who need less introspection that the rest. Its an sad irony that the only ones that listen to a voice of wisdom are probably the ones who need it least. The other people are yelling so loud that they can't hear their own conscience over the din. Some things in this life are simple, others are not, but a rare few are both...like getting along with the other few billion people that populate this planet. We may disagree on how to do things, but we know how we want to be treated. Treat others as you would be treated yourself. Show some respect, even to those who don't deserve it. Show some mercy where it isn't deserved. Show some kindness to those who are often unkind. Doing these things might bring about more change than all the policymaking of the world combined. Who knows...it might even make this planet a better place to live as well.

It's all Bush's fault...all of it...

Aww how nice, why can't we all just get along. If only the whole world was as conscientious as the honest american citizen.
Makes me sick. Marie Antionette along with all the french aristocracy prolly thought along those same lines before she died.

It should be: 'Treat yourself like you treat others'. I bet that within a week you'll want to kill yourself.
Tell me who deserves mercy? how do you quantify 'unkind'?

You are guilty, I am guilty, and we don't deserve anything!

Welcome to the real world. The same applies to almost all the european countries, north american countries, etc... infact it applies to everyone but third world countries, and it even applies to the upper 10% of their wage earners.

I know. I said OUR as in we, the rich.
What get's me is the superiority complex that a lot of Americans have. 9/11 was a HUGE tragedy on a personal level, but no big deal on the world scale.
Most Americans don't want to realise that they do anything wrong. Even my friends, when I talk to them on the subject, have this logic that we live in a DEMOCRACY, we have a CONSTITUTION that gives us FREEDOM. Those three words are used as proof that , obviously, we can do no wrong.

You must be kidding me.
Theres no way I'm going to put down all the billions we've spent in humanitarian efforts or the countless individuals who have freely volunteered to go to 3rd world nations from the United States. Or the countless religous sponsored missions that help people in foreign nations..

no one is saying ANY nation is a saint, but whats up with all the US hatred?
Nations by nature are created out of violence in some way, and maintained in violence in some way.. you can't possibly believe that the democratic nature of the United States is lesser than the majority of nations which are dictatorships and beat and brutalize their people and attempt to eliminate entire ethnic groups like Saddam Hussein?

My my, you need to stay away from the liberal propaganda. Get out of that liberal bubble you live in, we're not purposely out murdering people, we're not running planes into buildings full of civilians.. give me a break. I shouldnt have even replied to such nonsense.
Can you backup such wild claims?

And your superiority complex that makes you think you can quantify the significance of death?!?

Yeah lets blame the everyday hard working American who follows his laws, pays his taxes and does his duty when called upon for the defense of his nation.
If anything, the common man is usually the VICTIM by YOUR LIBERAL POLICYS of self hatred.
He takes the hit because YOU feel so bad for all the bad we as a nation has done.
Yet you have no regard or respect for the good we've done.
