No, i refuse to believe that I have to be in one extreme or the other on any topic,  no matter what it is. Thats a lousy excuse for people to say im ultimately right and you dont agree cuz you are evil. 

And yes, the proverb does apply, you just have to reach the man before he is on that condition. When he still has options. And the only people who will put the effort if all their needs are met are only going to be the ones who have a chance to reach the very top. If they fail they will give up and settle for free living. Most people dont have a shot at the big leagues so the majority will just accept it and just let life and opportunity pass them by. 

I never said you had to be at an extreme, all I said was that being on the fence or "in the middle" on issues is not a definitive stance. You can be on the fence on things but ultimately, once you hear both sides of the argument, you have to come to your own conclusion on who/what you believe is right and then compromise from there IF you feel it's an issue worth compromising on. You can't be on the fence your whole life.

@bolded: Did you not understand what I wrote?? That's what those social programs do! That's us reaching out to the man before he's in that condition, so he has options. Not everyone is born with a roof over their heads, food on the table, and good health. And the best part is that these programs have been proven to work.

I honestly think you need to take a step back and look at the facts, apart from everyone else, and come to your own conclusion on what you believe. It seems you don't have your political beliefs all ironed out yet and that's fine but you at least need to have some idea on where you stand and where you draw the line. Maybe you'll end up admitting to yourself that maybe you're more conservative/liberal than you previously thought.

Well thas something you took cuz you refuse to accept what im saying. In no way am I indecisive or in the fence. I stated clearly what I believe should be done. You for some reason think that the only two options are get rid of all social programs or 100% free everything. I say we keep the social programs but only to those that really need it and never 100% everything, give them the need to work for the rest. Its quite simple, if you refuse to accept that than thats on you.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
