Which is why it makes no fucking sense at all unless you believe this place has a lot of conservatives.

Exactly. They haven't been here long enough to realize that we have only one conservative. He/she just has a lot of puppet accounts.

I think hippies are just astonished there are any conservatives here at all, and get frustrated/overwhelmed when faced with people that dont believe as they do. Conservatives are a minority on the shroomery.

It's probably about even because I have routed the weaker among them. They cry and go away.

I think the most frustrating thing bout the conservatives on this board is their irrational cries of persecution and their refusal to accept facts presented to them. I don't think it's the fact that they believe differently, that's only a mild irritation in comparison.

Yes but many people also believe in invisible men in the sky who are watching and judging their every move against an archaic set of standards written in some mediocre ancient book.

I like you, Zappa. You speak a lot of the truth. But on this point, I think you're mistaken.
You see, some stupid commie bastard said I was secretly a commie ACTING conservative TO MAKE CONSERVATIVES LOOK BAD. Because, you know, it's a CRIME in THIS country to NOT be a spineless coward. But his assumption was stupid as hell because THIS BOARD is full of HIPPIES. So it makes NO SENSE to try to convince the board that conservatives are evil BECAUSE THE BOARD'S ALREADY FULL OF COMMIES WHO BELIEVE THAT. It'd be like going to a Klan meeting to try to convince the Klansmen that black people are bad. Or, as someone pointed out, it'd be like shipping coal to a place already OVERFLOWING with coal.
Don't fall in with these Obama-loving commies, Zappa. You're BETTER than them.

What is "here"?
Of the active posters on the politics forum, I figure they're about equal. Of the active posters on the entire board, I assume the leftists are a majority.
I believe what zappa said on the subject previously is quite right: the conservatives are generally those that are able to stick around and logically defend their positions. Many of the leftists poster pop in and then take off when they are criticized, and are unable to defend their views. There's only a few leftist posters that will actually defend their posts, mostly the long term posters.
Kinda similar to the "skeptic" vs "believer" quotient on the board. While there are more "skeptic" (scientifically minded) people who post in the philosophy forum, I don't think that's a fair representation of the actual views of the population here. The "believers" seem to simply be unable to defend their views, and so stop posting or relgate themselves to short snippy attacks of fallacious quips. (see: Conspiracy forum, with few exceptions), i.e. apparently by 2012 and 2013 the US governmetn will be unable to pay its debts and will be bankrupt Despite this pretty amazing claim, the guy who makes it can't provide anything backing up his belief, and just yammers on about this nonsense. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14006887#14006887

Yeah, I caught that one too. 
Both of the extremes (left and right) tend to pretend that they are rational, but are persecuted by the irrational, which is basically anybody that disagrees with the mangled world view. From the cheap seat, in the political discussion forum, it seems to me that we have a pretty even balance between left and right. The big difference are the extremes; we have far more extreme lefties than extreme righties. Of course, I might be biased, as I am apparently a disingenuous, corporate shill, fascist, liar.

Johnm, I think that's unfair. Look at the ridiculous shit that so called conservatives here spout. How often do they cite arguements or claims, vs asking others to prove their point? It seems the commonality among most of the conservatives here is that they have a lot more time on their hands to make asinine arguements here most likely cause half of them are retired.
I've often not been able to keep a post active because I suddenly have to work like crazy for a week or two.
