i don't think grib is a "lefty". i'm not so sure I_fart_blue is one either. i find silversoul7, rono, phluck, and learyfan to be valuable contributers to this board. there are also some names on that list of complete morons.

i'm glad that there are people on this board with differing political views.
if there weren't, what would the point be?
i see 4 classes of thinker on this board. there are two types of conservative and two types of liberal.
1. the smart conservatives. most of the older users fall into this category. use logic very well as their tool of cognition, very adept at making concise arguments. guys like pinksharkmark and evolving are in this category.
2. the smart liberals. generally think that the views of the conservatives are cruel and lacking compassion, they are more guided by emotion than logic. nevertheless, they are intelligent, usually fairly capable of making good arguments, and certainly have something to add to this board. silversoul7, learyfan, rono, and phluck are all examples.
3. the foolish conservatives
and
4 the foolish liberals
both 3 and 4 are just as ignorant, incapable of critical reading and understanding, clumsy with logic, and misguided, but at different ends of the political spectrum. we all know who they are.

There are a couple names in that list that don't belong on the smart liberal list but don't belong on the foolish list either. Silversoul, phluck and learyfan come to mind. This is not a slam i just don't think that they think as much as they feel. Almost every liberal i have argued, debated, flamed etc. has made intelligent points from time to time..the exception would have to be Alex123. Maybe and intermediate clasification would help.

well i can't hold the liberals to the same standards i hold the conservatives. "intelligent liberal"... it's almost an oxymoron...
"has made intelligent points from time to time..the exception would have to be Alex123. Maybe and intermediate clasification would help."
yes, that it would. i actually think that debates with annapurna are even more ludicrous than those with alex, but at least she doesn't come around here as much.
i think that silversoul, learyfan, and phluck all have something good to add to this board. there are other users who are just here for comic relief.
this thread is cutting it pretty close into the realm of personal attack. i've said all i'm gonna say here. i'm done with this thread.

that's why they call it the opposition.
i think instead of being so sensative consider that it's just the opposition clasifying the enemy...philosophical enemy that is. I don't deny it at all. Why would I?

I might lean slightly towards the economic left, according to the political compass (-0.88), I don't think of myself as a hardcore lefty, at least not in the terms of American politics, being antiwar doesnt put someone on the left or right. In my opinion Democrats and Republicans suck, but Republicans suck more. I would vote Libertarian if I was American. I never vote for a party whose platform is imprisonment of drug users. As a Canadian I vote NDP because they fight for marijuana legalization. I cast a vote for Silversoul because he seems to be aligned with Democrats more than anyone else here. I also find it ironic how a few hardcore conservatives here (luv and inv) pretend they are the so devoted to rationality, and never judge using their feelings, yet every other post is a flame. Usually calling someone a moron or bashing Alex. Hey I enjoy reading it but thats me. We're all hypocrites.

I guess if being taken seriously by a bunch of people on a web site that I'll never meet was that important to me, you'd be right.
I enjoy having fun more though. I was too into being serious for a way too long period of time. A life altering event changed that and now enjoying life is more important.
I read enough to know and believe in what I say, if my demeanor puts you off..... too bad.
I'm happy.
