Now thats funnyLazario wrote: That's not the way things are going here. Especially not in the case of dvdjunkie. I never spurned him personally, but he has absolutely taken a crusade against me because I was right, to be a Republican/conservative as he is so adamently, is to forsake caring about the wellfare (not 'that' welfare) of millions of people, and to hate the minority. He doesn't see the fact that I haven't spurned him personally, I understand his political status is a mistake. One of privilage and not one of reality. He doesn't understand that his way doesn't work for most people, but he wants to be of-the-elite, so he fights dirty. He doesn't care about being fair, he just wants to win. So he tries to bury me in cliches and stereotypes. I'm a "bomb-thrower"? Hardly. That would be insisting that there is no truth in what I've claimed. When the reality I'm talking about is reality for millions of people, in the U.S. alone. That doesn't impress him, no matter how many times I say it. Why? Because to be what he is is not to care about all, but to care about those who resemble him.
Do you even remember what we were arguing about, the two of us? Right there, you'll see you are the pot calling the kettle black. You were far ruder than I was and your whole opinion was obtained through close-mindedness.castleinthesky wrote:Isn't that a pot calling a kettle black?

1. People would not think they are "branded" on UD just because of their sexual orientation. However, they would see that they get in arguments because of their rudeness and close mindedness.
Okay... Without liberalism, we would have no civil liberties at all. Zip, zero, none. Without conservatism, we would have no... bigotry, racism, sexism, misogny, chauvenism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, agism, and war - among other things. Zip, zero, none.memnv wrote:Why are you calling his political status a mistake, It is not a mistake, that would be like saying yours is a mistake but it is not it is your belief
Yeah, I bet I was far more close minded. As was dvdjunkie, Isidour, Prince Eric, Jiminy Cricket, menv, and multiple others that have all had run-ins with you.Lazario wrote:Do you even remember what we were arguing about, the two of us?

we would have all those things no matter what we had, most if not all this stuff as been around since the begining of man kind.

The law, courtrooms, free speech, protests / marches / demonstrations... It's too broad for me to ever be able to explain in a few sentences, paragraphs, pages of text. I could try to explain for days, weeks, months, years, but I guess it's just kind of abstract.memnv wrote:yeah right, How??????????
First, you are getting Republicans and conservatives mixed. They are not the same, in any way. Remember, what political group gave slaves freedom?Lazario wrote:The law, courtrooms, free speech, protests / marches / demonstrations...

I have faith in it, though. More faith than most people have in God. Or in the President, politicians, certainly Republicans and conservatives alike, the police , you name it! Liberals care about people and rights, Conservatives care about money and power. That's the way it's always been. Tell me then, why don't or didn't Republicans ever do anything about AIDS. Or why so many southern Republican politicians supported the Ku Klux Klan. Or why conservative small towns always take the football player's side when a girl says she was raped? Why did conservative/fundamentalist-churches advertise for their sermons after the release of Passion of the Christ: "Jews killed our lord Jesus", and why did Republicans rush to defense of Mel Gibson? Why do they choose to support the Pope or the preachers who cry homosexuality is a sin? Why were conservatives always the ones who didn't allows blacks, jews, or gays to join their yaght clubs or country clubs?
, but that group was liberal at the time. Also, I guess when the Democrats supported slavery and supported the Ku Klux Klan, they weren't at fault. Liberal and Democratic are not the same.
