lol..

well somebody has to correct you on your crazy liberal antics. I would.. but I usually don't know what I am talking about and end up looking like I don't know shit. TheRealMafoo is much more convincing and actually knows what he is talking about, so I am glad he is here to put all these crazy liberal ideas to rest.

TheRealMafoo is intelligent, he can actually debate, the smart right wing on the this site (Mafoo, Slimebeast, Kasz) are the only sodding reason I come here any more. I like the debates, even if I'm wrong, but I am often right too. Just because I have a liberal point of view doesn't mean I'm wrong in what I believe, liberals and conservatives balance each other out, that's how the world works. You obviously have yet to figure that out.

I'm not actually right wing.  I'm more of a practicalist.  All things even I'm for comprhensive social programs to help the poor and such. 

You just need to find ways for them to work.  Putting in bad damage systems are worse then nothing because such systems can never be removed and can rarely be modified.

I think by right wing I mean you are a libertarian, as with the others I mentioned. I know it's not right wing, but economically it can hold a lot of right wing views... Bleh

You know what I mean.

But to a true right winger, I would be considered left wing. Most people remember the things they disagree about, and not what they agree on. For example, I am called a right winger in a thread where I support changing laws to give homosexuals equal rights.

Funny how we gloss over what we agree on.

Don't think this is the first time I've brought this up either haha.  There is a reason I don't like many of the debates between left and right as the forefront of the discussion because I think most of it is pretty pretentious and illogical.  Really I tihink most would find (at least in American politics) that most of the left and right are pretty similar simply becauses they are closer to moderates than anything.  I still think most of the split is simply created by the extremes to give this "false" sense of opposing forces clashing... somehting Madison spoke pretty heavily against. 

It's simply a distraction to those really trying to have legitimate discussion and eventual compromise.  I mean that is how the founding fathers would have wanted it.  Just for some odd reason we don't seem to want to do that.  I really do wish we could have debates as Americans or citizens rather than right, left, democrat, republican, extremist, anarchist, god lover, god hater... etc. 

 

Maybe I'll create a topic on just that tomorrow or something.  Haha already got an idea for today's topic that will get very few reads and views.
