I have always thought this was interesting.

Liberals tend to be more passive, compassionate and considerate of the lesser among us. They tend to be anti-establishment, especially with corporations, bankers and the rich who operate without regard for the unfortunate.

These are the basic tenants of Christianity. Yet, they are primarily anti-religion, anti-God, anti-spiritual.

Conservatives, on the other hand, believe they have moral superiority and are typically religious Christians. Yet, they are more intolerant of homosexuals, prostitutes and the less fortunate.

This is opposite of the tenants of Christianity.


Hmmmm.

My mother in law says that Jesus loved everybody...even whores
;_))))

I have always found many moderates who float in the middle and criticize both sides to think they have the "moral superiority".

Just something I have noticed.

Mike, we do
;-)))))

I am not a Republican, but I am not a moderate either. I beleive in strong posistions, and am not wishy-washy. Most moderates I know are professional fence sitters. These people annoy me more then anyone.

I appreciate people who hold strong ideas, even if they are wrong, I like dealing with passionate people - not those who try to make everyone happy, or who change their opinions like underwear.

Or the moderate who tries to play the middle, criticizing both sides to make himself look wise and intelligent and "above all of that."

Of course Serge this does not represent you at all....

Mike, I knopw that wasn't arrow in my direction but rather in PD's
;-))

I just can't help myself critisizing Bush for his religious zealothness and Kerry for everythig else
;-))))

100 bucks says it was directed at me!

Serge, please pay WIG!

( Wig you can send me 1/2!! :D )


Serge you are not a fence sitter, you run back and forth THROUGH fences!!

I do not mind Bush's religious beliefs, but many of the people on the religious right are pretty scary.

I lost because ..oh, never mind,
wig, where to I send the money?

I want a check! LOL

Mike, I will pay half when I see you in Florida.

Sorry you think I am fence sitter. I am passionate about a few subjects, gun control, property rights, individualism being some of them.

I also do not make it a habit to criticize people or think that I have some superiority. I do not know where you get that from.

I am just comfortable with the old adage "the more you know the less you understand" and act acordingly.

I guess I am just not as smart as you. ;-))

Please explain how Mike is 50% wrong first.

But tell the truth, you just do not want me to have that check framed and on my wall. :yowsa:

As my name has been dragged into this discussion, and because I am a compassionate liberal, let me offer a compromise.

Why don't all three of you cocksuckers pay ME $100.00?

Just trying to be helpful, of course. :)

wig, he is 100% wrong, but I am a MODERATE, therefore looking for compromise!

{small print} i need his approval to WIGgle you out of the $100 check{/small print}
;-)))

hehe Good to see you back! Now fuck off!
















j/k of course.

Guilty here, Mike! I usually find that there are valid arguments on either side of most debates. I might lean one way and then another due to my learning new facts or the world changing.

We can compromise over dinner. :D

Criticizing both points isn't to make oneself look better - hell criticize them all. Criticize me - and do so brutally, but logically and with a point. I'll listen. All hold an idea in different shapes called multiculturalism. That notion makes me gag - both from an academic perspective and from simply a human perspective.

Multiculturalism isn't celebrating different cultures, it's melding them into one culture - that's regurgitated and handed to people by political demigogues. It effectively strips each culture of the individual characteristics that make it unique and in many ways innately beautiful. It further puts a gun to the head of it's own advocates. The more traits they "meld" away...the less chance those advocates and followers have for survival. Diversity = survival; the ability to adapt and survive as a result of different traits being available.

Diversity doesn't mean "diversity as long as you agree with us."

WIG that is a great idea - we can have debates over dinner at Serges!

:okthumb:

...only if wig leaves his beloved firearms at the door
