Bluelighter
I don't need to, but I still enjoy this thread-I'm flawed.
This thread really needs to die.
Intelligent people really don't need to tout a correlation between their political ideology and IQ in order to feel better about themselves or to try to prove a point.
it's true, we score higher on emotional intelligence too.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!

Technically, it would be "on average, we score higher..."
What is liberal again? Big nanny state government where the needy and less capable are 'taken care of' and that?
And no true conservatives aren't all authoritarian pro-drug war pro war neo-cons before you say that.
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.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.
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?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.
it's pretty simple for me:What is liberal again?
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.Big nanny state government where the needy and less capable are 'taken care of' and that?
on average, the conservative side is the side carrying this bullshit forward, often in illegal ways, often with brazen bias against the less affluent.And no true conservatives aren't all authoritarian pro-drug war pro war neo-cons before you say that.
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.Drug users tend to lean liberal? Who knew?
What is liberal again?
lib·er·al·ism-
b : a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard
c : a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties; specifically : such a philosophy that considers government as a crucial instrument for amelioration of social inequities (as those involving race, gender, or class)
And no true conservatives aren't all authoritarian pro-drug war pro war neo-cons before you say that.

okay... i think our species will, for the foreseeable far future, have lively debates between many sides... and?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
your e-finger at e-humor indicates e-butthurt.Whats the point of humoring a person online and pretending to agree/find middle ground to gain e-respect?
^Each finger of his is a six-shooter strapped to the hip, just waiting to take down some hippy pervert libscum. Ah, but I agree, he's acool dude. I'm glad he can take abuse. :D
