Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lmao!!! I'm assuming that Reverend Smooth was formerly known by another name, as I've been gone too long, but the caustic manner is familiar.

Someone let Angsty know...

bla bla bla...



The only reason he's been "chickenshitted" for months is that he userblocked me first (I've only userblock ED razz people who have done so to me first). I guess he didn't like the heaping spoonful of his own medicine he got over that whole digging people's off Gaia postings thing.

I made a thread about Separation of Church and State and how it was bullshit. There was this one guy who wouldn't shut up about how I wouldn't reply to his posts (I had 15 pages of postings neutral ) So I finally did and then if I didn't reply to all of his page long posts (3-5 at a time) in a timely manner he bitched at me some more.
Finally I decided to let it die because I couldn't keep up with the volume of posts and he bitched at me some more because I was trying to "evade" him. Like he was the king of debaters or something.
I told him to PM me his responce back if he wanted to debate more, but he never did.
I feel your pain.

I'm curious as to when exactly she "pwned" me actually...

You can't expect much from her. Heck, if you don't totally agree with her, your opinion doesn't matter then, either.

It's not really a matter of political leanings. It's really a matter of intelligence. I find there are two types of liberals, and two types of conservatives.


Liberals:


1) The Dumb Liberal: This is your typical minority senator (like the black senator chick who just lost the primary election, and was the one who assaulted the cop for getting pulled over), or incompetent honky who joined the liberal cause because he (and I'm using "he" because it is standard for Latin-based languages like de-feminized English to refer to an unidentified gender subject as "he") thinks whitey owes everything to everyone.

2) The Smart Liberal: These are the ones in control (Ted Kennedy, Kerry, both Clintons), who know what they're preaching is bullshit, but they say it anyway because they can spin-doctor a whole boatload of money and political support their way because enough grassroots hicks at least half-believe the American "melting pot" and "everyone is equal" crap.


Conservatives:

1) The Dumb Conservative: This is your Bible-thumping jackass who, while they may have educated responses and a mediocre understanding of the means to debate, they follow the conservative "faith" because of their religious views. They at least understand the Bible is meant to be taken literally (as it's supposed to be written in God's own words, or some crap like that). Rather than re-interpretting the passages of the Bible to feel less guilty around your daughter's new girlfriend, Jane, they stick to their spiritual guns whether it's eventually proven right or wrong.


2) The Smart Conservative: Enter your politlcal talk radio hosts (Lars Larson, O'Reilly-who's more liberal than I can really stand, Victoria Taft, Laura Ingraham, etc), your experienced, educated upper class, and those who are trying to get away from their ******** up hippie parents. These are the ones who realize by either trial and error, or logic, the cause and effect of things. While a higher minimum wage may help those still working at McDonald's to pay the rent, the smart conservative recognizes that eliminating the minimum wage would open up the chance for managers to more easily pay their employees based on effort and skill, thereby giving the best wages to (unfortunately for the liberals) the clean-cut, white guys, and cutting the wages of the unshaven, late, degenerate minorities who aren't even working there legally.

Then there's me, who can be summed up by two concepts:

1)The Scientific Method
2) A desire to worship independent achievement.

This leaves me closer to the smart conservative category, sans God. God doesn't fit into the picture when the scientific method is applied. Yet, at the same time, Judeo-Christian morality is a strong part of this nation's formation, and forms a significant precidence for our judicial system. Therefore, while I don't believe in the Christian God (or any god), the Ten Commandments, the Pledge of Alliegance, and being able to express your faith in a school is still valid (remember, "seperation of church and state" was not coined until the 1930's by a liberal supreme court justice, who didn't understand that while religion should not be forced upon anyone by our government, it does not rule out faith expressed in our government). Basically, you can't rewrite history to conveniently argue a point. Rather, you must use what history exists to support what history has proven sucessful.

Conservative thought also leans closer to capitalism, which is the organized form of rewarding personal achievement or innovation, and not paying out a group of mindless retards for one man's great work (which seems to be all the Department of Business and Economics is teaching me for my degree in those lame management classes).

In the end, the intellect and honesty of the individual determines what they eventually come to believe. Conservatism is closer to the answer, but still contains too many flaws and weak people who cannot do what is necessary.

This is why I support the concept of a capitalist dictatorship, or perhaps a capitalist anarchy. Ideally, I would prefer the Roman Empire to come back into power, but that doesn't seem likely.

This ambulance stuff is just a bunch of crap from right-wing blogs

So I'll post a bunch of crap from left-wing blogs to prove Israel started it

Same thread.

How retarded can they get?
