    People on here calling them selfs this or I am that. I am here, you are there. Oh no I change my mind because it suits my situation. I think I will change it back it does not suit me anymore. Get a grip kids, right wingers and left wingers cant think for themselves. They just like to be aligned with something to give their lives some identification, I am not small really, I am a, I am a, I am a. I am a confused.
    Your none of these kids, there only labels.
    There only small little words. Everything changes, even opinions.

    Yeah, the judge didn't like the fact he ran over him twice in the car! Yep, I can understand why but everybody should recognise the rule of law and not serve out their own punishment beatings, otherwise we've a lawless state. Right wingers would still moan and blame the bleeding heart left, not great at accepting blame are right wingers.

    Capital N there, boss. Any movement of stance on the piracy?

    Its an abbreviation so they are all capitals.

    As for piracy I don't even try to justify it as I know it is wrong and not victimless, but up to now the law was a gray on file sharing. I don't do it now, but that is not really relevant. But it doesn't up the fear and tension in an area, or generally decrease the quality of life in a community. I know these troubled areas and I also know it is true to say 99% of the people are sound, just that tiny broken element destroy a place for everyone else.

    Pretty sure piracy is illegal. In any case, I'm pretty sure a zero tolerance approach or a right-wing stance would take a dim view of it. And "Nazi" is also a proper noun.

    LOL
    So I was right to use the small n, I do take a dim view on it and I never even try to justify it, my justification was pathetic, I pirate because everyone else does. I am not sure about the law on it I never heard of anyone getting convicted in Ireland over it, but it is illegal now. That I am certain of.

    No, but he is insulting people he could at least be coherent.

    Piracy was always illegal btw (always meaning long before now)

    I don't know, wasn't there something about file sharing or phishing, I am more asking a question, not doubting you.

    I know someone who writes like that and he is dyslexic, my nephew actually, so the internet and social network sites are closed to him, because he gets embarrassed about it.

    Oh right, then. That's cleared up then. If everyone else does it, it's fine. Rules in mass protests and certainly take the piss out of your zero tolerance bull****.

    Also, theft and copying of copyright material has been illegal for some time now, irrespective of how you do it. Certainly since 2000.

    Private enterprise is actually very motivating.. Just seems to be an excessively greedy monster at its worst.. I dont know where such a view places me on the spectrum

    thanks, my red dot was in the left (liberal) quadrant.. But not too far in (i feel slightly apologetic for some reason)

    Eh.... I'm a Liberal apparently edging towards Big Government

    This test has shaken my right wing self to the core

    Mind you, I remember taking one of those tests about the time of the last US elections. The questions were of course aimed at the american electorate and I decided to be downright awkward in my answers. I took a stance that at home would have had me labelled a right wing hardliner although a few honest answers crept in regarding abortion etc etc.

    It plotted me on the left, declared me a socialist and told me that Obama was my nearest compatible candidate. I remember wondering what kind of answers I'd have to have given to be put in the Mc Cain camp

    I'm going to have a wash now

    I can't understand why people would willingly quote the man who sent the Black & Tans out to loot and kill. The man who suggested gassing the Kurds long before Saddam ever did.

    But who knows what goes on in the (very) average mind of the right wit? :D

    I can understand your brother in law is pissed. I would be too. If most of the social welfare fund was spent to invest in jobs, we could lower the unemployment rate to a reasonable level, instead of making people dependant on the Government for handouts.

    Also, remove most power from these overpaid, entitled Labour Unions and remove the minimum wage entirely. Only then would a real incentive to work be fostered. I still think disability payments should be payed out though. Everybody else can shave the bum fluff and get a job. The hippies must be put to work at a wage rate.

    Holy fudge. You'd probably have child labour brought back as well, no doubt :rolleyes:

    I'm a fully paid up union member and find your stereotype is farcical. The unions (like anywhere else) have a few bad apples but without them... I dread to think.

    There was the recent SI, but that didn't make it any more illegal. It was always illegal.

    Your nephew should look into text to speech apps for windows/macs/linux/iOS/Android they are really good. Also spell checkers and believe me I am not being cheeky just trying to help there is a lot of technology that helps for typing if you are dyslexic.

    I usually find myself on the left especially on social policy matters. I decide where I stand on any given issue based on the facts and will find out and listen to what the opposing argument is before I make up my mind on something. It just always seems that my views happen to be on the left of the political spectrum.

    I think it's important to always be open to new ideas and ways of looking at things and not become complacent or set in one's political views.

    I became very convinced of the merits of Social Democracy after my time spent in Sweden because of how well it worked there (and I still am to a certain extent) but now I'm more interested in how liberalism can transition into an Libertarian Left/Anarchist society while maintaining a necessary welfare state to protect the poor and marginalised in society.

    I found I've become more left-wing, not less as I've grown older and I'm proud to be so. :)

    Ron Paul is actually really well spoken and seems genuine, unlike almost every other dickweed in the GOP, but his ideas seem a bit extreme from what I've seen of him (not an awful lot now admittedly, just some debates on YouTube).

    He seems to think that privatising everything is the way forward as the free market will resolve every little thing. He also advocated people paying their own personal contribution to a private fund for social insurance, which kind of defeats the entire purpose of social insurance. His ideas on health insurance are a bit barmy aswell, he just thinks charities and church funds can handle the poor who can't afford any of this stuff.

    Mind you, his stance on foreign affairs is fairly logical, but still problematic. Implementing what he says now is that America is so ingrained in so many areas of the world that just dropping it all and pulling out would leave a bigger mess IMO.

    Basically what your saying OP is that the older your getting the more selfish your getting. It sounds like you've thrown out your morals and sold yourself out.

    I'm the opposite, the older I get the wiser I become to the world and its wicked ways. I'm a father of two and I think it its very important to stick to your values and beliefs so that your children and grandchildren can live peaceful happy lives to the best of their abilities. It's important for the next generation of children to be full aware of the world and its fooked up ways so they can prepare and be educated.

    You sold your balls OP and your teaching your children to accept the world and its ways and basically allowing yourself to accept **** when you don't have to.

    Sell out!.
