 So, I guess you aren't God.
 The answer to 10^100 is a Googolplex
 A woodchuck could chuck 71 butt-cords of wood if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
 Your statement appears to try to diffuse my direct questioning of the discussion. You seem to want to only stifle any debate of the topic.
 Or maybe it's a question only of how many times you can post useless hollow comments before being considered a troll.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire0

 I'd also like to know; How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

 Did you look that up on Conservapedia?
 You are correct, but I have a feeling you didn't really know that. So I still don't think you are God.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny.

            is THAT the liberal platform? fuck, NOW what do i do?
 i think my issue with conservatives as they're too "glass if half empty" whereas the liberals are more "glass is half full," and im really trying to be an optimist. but the conservatives look for differences, the liberals for similarities. liberals are like "so, you're gay? well hey, we all still like sex right? high five!" whereas the conservatives are more: "you're not gay? ok. hate terrorists? ok. love america? check. you want comprehensive sex ed taught to HIGH SCHOOLERS? i knew you were an evil pinko god-hating, baby-murdering liberal!"0

 2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments

 WOW! What I find to be the most troubling about this is that the conservative-minded individual who authored it had the "ability" to group these topics in a simple to understand black and white manner. They are, no doubt, one of the people that marvel at our current Executive branch's ability. I guess in a conservative world this list is not an example of prejudice and misunderstanding, just the clear wisdom that comes with viewing Fox News, listening to Rush or O'Reilly and knowing that GWB is on track because he gets his advice "from a higher power".
 While the conservatives who read it look up who “Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem" are (as if they would), maybe they can look up "ethnocentrism" too.
 How is it that other nations are not kidnapping these great conservative minds and putting them to use? I guess we're lucky! The least these other nations should do is see the path, join the march to victory and salvation! Our mighty 231 year old country sure could teach these places a lesson or two!
 Finally, only a conservative list would include the term "you have to" at the beginning of every statement! As a non-conservative, I know we promote individual thought!

 No, and if I had I wouldn't really have put much stock into that agenda-driven site's presentation of "objective fact".You are correct, but I have a feeling you didn't really know that.
 I have a feeling you're wrong.So I still don't think you are God.
 Me neither.0

 My statement merely suggested that you're a lamebrain ideologue. Did I say it? No. That would only achieve banishment back to the land of reality for the next 24 hours. And really, who wants that? I did you a fucking service diffusing your 2nd grade understanding of the American political system before you baffled even yourself. Thus, lamebrain statements deserve useless, hollow comments.
 So as I said very effectively in a prior post, you were, and still are, completely wrong. Nothing more needs to be said. If that makes me a troll then I have no other choice. God isn't even real. Even liberals know that. Oh wait..."Sarcasm: intellect on the offensive"

 You didn't diffuse anything. If anything your statements only escalate and polarize. All you said was "You are wrong" if I can extrapolate a value from that, I'd say it's null.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny.

 If anything, I don't really care. If not for myself and a few others here there would be no exchange of ideas. Or as you refer to it: Escalation and Polarization. Don't jump down my throat because I happen to jog the incessant backpatting that goes on here. And please don't insult your own intelligence by insulting mine. As philosophical as you are, I'm sure you understand that."Sarcasm: intellect on the offensive"

 Huh? Tell me TMW32 is this actually going anywhere?
 I've noticed that in several threads recently you've been posting in opposition to my statements without adding anything new to the conversation.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny.

            Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
 and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
 over specific principles, goals, and policies.

 Ahnimus, you were unable to handle being called out about your current perceptions of people such as myself. On top of that, you were clearly unable to rationalize your thought process any further as you subsequently questioned my mortal status, recited a tongue twister and then insulted my intelligence.
 Now you ask me if this is going anywhere...

 Oh, I must be a liberal then! I support abortion as long as we have 18 years to decide whether or not to keep the child. I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.0 I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.0

 Jesus Christ! What was I trying to prove!? All I said was that you were wrong in your perceptions of people like me. Or all conservatives, if you wish to take what you said into full context.
 I'm the most unique mother fucker you'd ever have the priviledge of meeting. After that, the only relevant emotion left to experience is shock."Sarcasm: intellect on the offensive"

 In-fact the two labels liberal and conservative describe exactly what we've discussed. The labels simply do not apply to most people, they represent extremist views.
 I'm not interested in meeting any "mother fuckers".I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny.
