RE: No labels
Then why not have some interesting discussion on various topics without painting everything "liberal" or "conservative"?
"Interesting" is a very subjective and relative term. Since Andy created this as a forum on current events, the divison into liberal and conservative is probably inevitable. However, by all means, introduce a topic. You can be assured if it is interesting, it will be discussed.
I might surprise you with some of my ideas and opinions.
Indeed you might. However, since I seriously doubt you will suddenly decide that government-run schools are evil, that the welfare state is corrupt and degenerate and must be eliminated, that radical environmentalism is nothing more than Marxism in disguise, that the current black leadership are all a bunch of pompous race-pimps, that capitalism is a superior economic system when properly executed, that abortion on demand is completely immoral and should be outlawed, or that homosexuals do not deserve special rights, you would really have to come up with something unusual to surprise me. But I sit here, open-minded and ready to be surprised.
You disregard what I say before even reading it based on your assumptions.
Hello pot, have you met kettle? How can you know that? Do you have a secret camera that looks into my brain? Rest assured, I read every word you post. And now I'll reveal something: I, not unlike Strother, find the workings of the mind of someone raised and steeped in the culture of extreme liberalism fascinating. One of the most fundamental behaviors of such a person is the belief that their core system of understanding reality cannot possibly be mistaken and that anyone who disagrees either misunderstood the system or had prejudicially rejected it. I find the lengths to which people will go to protect their core understanding of reality infinitely fascinating and intellectually stimulating.
