[tzor]

I appear to be:

Economic Left/Right: 2.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.26

Quite lonely in my little quadrant of the graph.

[KomradeKloininov]

is he going to add anybody else to the graph?

[Iz Man]

Good thing big business doesn't employ anyone.

[Anarchist]

ROFL! Wow, you guys really do exits! I thought Rush Limbaugh was just trying to be funny! Yeah....evil Capitalism, the cause of many unemployed workers, an obese America and they are such a strain on our economy!


(now going to watch Barney to see what it's like in kyle's world)

You sir, should be barred from political talks. Your un-open minding and refuse to hear others points of views. I award you a dunce cap, because your a joke. Good day.

Say what now?? Your second sentence directly contradicts your first! It's always refreshing to be reminded of left wing hypocrisy but you should at least avoid doing it in the same paragraph. Or perhaps I misunderstood you; people who agree with you should be able to give their political views and anybody that disagrees with them "should be barred from political talks"?

[Avron]

Someone that disagrees with everyone, and never even looks at others points of views should be, If I had ever even seen him even remotely give a nod to agreement with the other side I would have more respect but people that say I am right and you are eternally wrong or don't even admit when they where wrong after they where wrong should be barred. And yes I knew how my statement would be contradictory, Its impossible to say that without contradicting my self. I love to hears the other sides point of view, and I would never intentionally shoot them down. Wtf the point of a debate if not to learn? People that won't listen to the other side should be barred. Im not Left Wing BtW, I don't take political sides, I go with who makes the most sense and who presents the most truth on each individual subject, no point picking a side to go with on every damn argument.

I understand that a lot of the Jesus Freaks may seem that way. I don't know any of them really well enough to say for sure. But the fact that jay disagrees with kyle is just proof that they are on different sides of the political arena, not that he doesn't have a right to speak his mind. Again, I don't know jay well enough to say conclusively, but my guess is that he is quite far to the right, which means he will be able to find less common ground with a socialist argument such as kyle's. I am probably slightly more moderate, which is why we can find at least some common ground. But a lack of common ground doesn't mean that somebody should be banned from political discussions.

As for you not being left wing, I'm afraid I'll have to challenge this. Take the test if you don't believe me. I'm sure you make decisions based on what makes the most sense, we all do. The point is which arguments premises make the most sense to you, which is determined by your position on the political spectrum.

I don't "disagree with everyone". I disagree with someone who hates big business because its an asinine concept. (Unless you own a small business and Wal-Mart put you "out of business") Give me a break. Big business drives our economy and for one to "hate it" is completely thoughtless.



By the way, if you hadn't noticed by my posts...I kinda like controversy.

Why is it an asinine concept? It is his opinion and it is not asinine. Just discarding it is an asinine opinion.

Brilliant! Iliad, where do you get these incredible insights? And why are we so lucky as to have you share them with us?

I'm rational when it comes to the economy.
Most of the time the government is bad.
