I don't need to, but I still enjoy this thread-I'm flawed.

Its no different then if I started a thread about there being a strong correlation b/t being gay/effeminate and being liberal. That thread would get closed so quick cane2thelefts head would spin!

it's true, we score higher on emotional intelligence too.

Technically, it would be "on average, we score higher..."
To argue that one must be smarter than a specific conservative because one's a liberal seems to demonstrate a rather large logical flaw, and isn't very intelligent at all.

Uh Oh... The truth comes out. It depends on who opens a thread [within some controversial issue] whether or not they will get thoroughly bashed for a thought/comment or else the thread deleted or transferred into obscurity. It took me awhile to get it... which should be understandable since I lean conservative. Anyway, I know now that ya gotta be in the "club" to get away with bullying, baiting, trolling...etc.
Oh well... I always suspected CEP was the "turf" of libs with mensa potential, and if you live in the USA... it's essential to be a NWO anti-exceptionalist to get accepted into the clique.... Us backwoods red neck moronic HS dropout cons, don't belong or have nothin worthy to contribute. I wonder if this is more proof CEP isn't nearly as "fair and balanced" as Katie Couric.
hmmm... I think thats what I mean but I'm not sure?? Now i gotta headache for all that wandering i just done.

Drug users tend to lean liberal? Who knew?
I'm sure this was implied.
How is it, that whenever self-proclaimed conservatives pull out the big guns, it's always, 'fuck the less capable'? Since when was social darwinism considered something to strive for? Seems like a schoolyard mentality to me. Of course, not a public schoolyard, because in a perfect world, kids would have to pay a private business for basic education.

of course. if were are referring to my response to droppers, i was just saying that gays and effeminate men are more emotionally intelligent on average, semi jokingly. they do make great music.
while i've noticed preferential treatment on bluelight, none of it has been related to politics. and i've seen plenty of threads with an obvious conservative slant (including a loaded title; trying to overcompensate for bluelight's liberal bias?
)really, though, this forum is quite open to everyone...
it's pretty simple for me:
1) basic respect for humanity
2) protection of the middle class
1) basic respect for humanity: every citizen deserves 3 meals a day, shelter, basic healthcare, water, quality of life sort of stuff.
we should, IMO, give a minimum gauranteed income, so that the person is able to budget this money how he wishes (the idea that libs want government intrusion couldn't be farther from the truth; in virtually every policy issue i know of*, it's the total reverse. conservatives have moral and spiritual reasons for controlling our money...)
we, as a society, have the capability of doing this. but we don't. we take away funding from education (which is what builds our nation and allows us to compete...) and other vital programs, we launch missiles worth thousands of dollars, we give billions in tax cuts and loopholes to corporations... our priorities, as a culture, as a nation, are childish and ridiculous.
corporations have so much money during this recession, they don't even know what to do with it all... we really got fucked in the ass, which leads me to #2
* as far as policies that concern our personal lives, at least. economically, liberals do tend to want more regulation, but of course it's always a question of where and how much... "slash, cut, deregulate" as a party core policy ignores that reasonable middle ground stance, and is very effective at ruining individual lives quickly while slowly but surely running our collective nation into the dirt.
2) protection of the middle class. it's unsustainable to allow wealth to trickle upward at an accelerating rate. this financial effect has blown up absurdly since reagan took office.
i'd like us to take care of ourselves. that's why i like the minimum guaranteed income idea... it allows us to retain that freedom with our money, while at the same time totally eliminating the need for a lot of government programs for the needy. it lets people in poverty to spend that basic amount of money on their own budget, rather than run through loopholes to get foodstamps, and get money from a system fundamentally directed against their financial interests.
it could all be simplified quite nicely, and easily paid for with a reasonable progressive tax scheme.
on average, the conservative side is the side carrying this bullshit forward, often in illegal ways, often with brazen bias against the less affluent.
in warren buffet's words, there is an economic class war, and his class is winning. this is really important for our future, but when i see the things that conservatives prioritize in their politics it's an utter facepalm.
when they actually do care about something really important, like the tea party and taxes, their policies are are tearing up our nation's infrastructure from within.
and don't get me started on the NPR, PP, et al hitjobs and the moral aspect... this center-left country has a center-right TV media, and a million churches per town spreading political agendas that, frankly, make no god damned scientific or political or economic sense.

so there you have it, i laid out my "liberal values"... your turn. chances are, our values don't conflict. and maybe our implementation of our values doesn't have to conflict either... unless your favorite source of information is owned by murdoch, in which case there's probably no point in discussion.

drug users, IME, don't even tend to lean toward legalization. it's sort of retarded, how much misinformation about drugs is out there, and how people (including drug users) usually completely refuse to alter their belief structure about drugs at all.
conservatives and entrepreneurs succeeded quite well in manipulating our feelings about drugs during the past century, so much that even the "liberal mainstream" is antidrug.

I am not a party line liberal who agrees with the bs yall spewed here most of the time. But if posters like me and subdude were not in CE&P then it would be exclusively polarized civil discussion or in layman terms; a circle jerk imo. Whats the point of humoring a person online and pretending to agree/find middle ground to gain e-respect?

Droppers reads with his gut, and utilizes that gut to provide an analysis, that would usually take a more introspective person, hours to decide upon.

Damn right, naw I have never actually gotten upset b/c of what someone has said on the internet, I just dont see how its possible? But you and most of the posters here in CE&P are cool and can appreciate my humorous spin. I guarantee if we hung out talked politics we would end up agreeing more then we disagree. I am no fox news brand conservative. Libertarian all the way.
And I guess Cyc gets a pass b/c he is not functioning at full capacity being from a capitalist influenced socialist country.
