    good, evil

    conservatives nowadays tend to lean towards the sith and evil. In fact when ever i see an bad person who is a conservative i don't even think of them as a conservative anymore, they are simply just bad people. Of course there are bad Liberals, but the number is far less

    It was a really happening thread for the short time it was going, too! We were all intrigued as to why soulsinging was missing from even the members list! It was a shame it was removed so quickly! :)

    I don't want to be sarcastic in any way in this post, but...


    Am I the only person that disagrees? Am I really? Isn't it possible- even probable- that both major parties have an LCD? Surely there are just as many idiotic liberals as there are conservatives, and vice versa. Right?

    at least 'Liberal' has the word Liberty in it, sure they steal our money, but not our democracy.

    Yeah, not4u has just lost my respect.

    By that logic, libertarians are identical to liberals, and conservatives want to save the planet.

    I'm a staunch conservative, no exceptions. Liberals should be banished to Venezuela. Corporate Whore is kickass. Love you man.

    I've got a better idea. Let's get the most extreme 1% of extremist, psychobabble libs and themost extreme 1% of nutjob conservatives and let them loose with automatic weapons in the brazillian jungle. I guarantee that will give you more laughs.

    make it 5% of those fringes and put them all in guantanamo bay and film it for reality tv. last inmate alive wins their life and banishment to the foreign country of their choice.

    You are right...no question. I think liberals for the most part have an arguement worth listening to, and the same is true of conservatives. There is a core conservatism and a core liberalism that is reasonable - but in today's world it is us and them so many fall into the great divide on the other side of the middle. And they do fall.

    I would fall firmly in the first. I certainly don't like people who aren't like me.

    Indifference is the correct answer.

    My closest friends range from extremely conservative to socialists. To insulate yourself to only like minded people is pretty stupid to me. In my opinion it's a sure sign of someone's insecurity and the nned to have people agree with him/her all the time in order to give that dying ego a boost.

    Okay... so were you saying you didn't like sober people when you posted that?

    And just a basic rule of thumb... never argue politics with people in a bar when y'all are drunk. Alcohol seems to have adverse effects on reason and logic.
