I hate politics. I hate the fact that is causes so much petty bickering, I hate the polarizing effect it can have on people, I hate the fact that nowadays it seems like you have to be one extreme or the other. So file me under "Don't Give A Crap".

Ditto. But the only time I care a little more than "dont give a crap" is when elections are on.
But this is in the debate den! Ok your teh boss.

Moderates are just liberals, because they are ashamed to admit they are liberal.
Michael: Hey Mitchel, are you a Republican or a Democrat?
Mitch: Indep.
Michael: Are you right-wing or left-wing?
Mitch: Middle-wing
Michael: Are you pro-life or pro-choice?
Mitch: pro-choice
See what I mean? That's a true story BTW. Liberal has become a dirty word to many people.
[snapback]179255[/snapback]
I'm an Indep. too, and I'm pro-life. So therefore we can be both, you probably made it all up.
MSP, shut your frigging face. This isn't a d*mn debate topic. You say what you are, and then you shut up. Understand?

this is tha sad thing bout politics
it brings bad things out when they're not really ment
no offence IZ :biggrin: just making my point :happy:
the reason for me being "conservitive" is because i think what bush is doing is right except the fact that he's raised gas prices and let opec be our gas trading conmpany that was a bad move anyways yall won't believe what i learned in history that kinda had an impact on my political views
when the republican party started (during the civil war) the south was considered the democrats and well you all know what the south was fighting for yupp if you guessed slavery thats right the democrats at one time supported slavery and now they've changed dramatically because no one nowadays wants slavery so there ya go lol :happy: i bet yall didn't know that huh? well now you know :biggrin:
i'm a happy person today lol :biggrin:
I am liberal. I can't stand the homosexual and abortion stuff being banned. Maybe some people aren't Christians or Catholics, eh? You should never get a single religon belief shoved down your throat. Since when does the goverment get to choose what normal is? My normal is different than everyone of you. My normal is not wrong, and no one elses normal is wrong. Therefore, don't make a normal for a law. When will the government learn?!
[snapback]179268[/snapback]
You may find this strange coming from a Catholic, but I completely agree. One belief shouldn't be shoved into someone's mind. It isn't only a Christian's world, it's everyone else's who doesn't believe or care as well. What truly happened to the "freedom" of America?
I'm liberal when it really matters. Rarely conservative.

I knew that about the parties, but the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery.
yes it did slavery is what started the civil war in the US
[snapback]179591[/snapback]
No, it didn't. Slavery was hardly an issue, since some Northern states had slaves too. The War for Southern Independence (as I like to call it, hehe) began after 35 years of discontentment in Southern states. The North was taxing the dickens out of them and overall not giving them the same benefits of the Northern states. The South wanted to suceede because of unfair treatment, not because the North wanted to take away slavery.
Gee wiz, what do they teach in school?

You're not alone, I have to agree with you. I know lots of people who are not Christian, and they wouldn't like it if all of the laws in this country would be changed to meet Christian ideas.

MSP, you should learn to use something you have in your head you may or may not have previously known about, it's called a "brain". That was a very prejudiced comment and is not entirly true at all, I know a guy who considers himself an independent but has a lot of conservative viewpoints, and while it is true that most independents are generally liberal, it doesn't mean all of them are.

what started the civil war? (http://www.civilwarhome.com/overview.htm)
[snapback]181312[/snapback]
Sorry sweetheart, that link is not proving what you want it to. The Civil War was started because of STATES RIGHTS. If slavery was such a huge issue, why did General Robert E. Lee free his slaves then fight for the Confederacy?
Lincoln didn't even care whole lot about slavery, he just wanted the United States to stay united. "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; If I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that."
Who taught you that slavery all on it's lonesome cause the Civil War?
ALL liberals are guilty of TREASON. They have tried to ban Christmas for the last time!

I was not aware of this, I was also not aware that conservatives have tried to ban Hannuakah, Rammadon (can't spell it), and all other non christian holidays.
