Zhukov I was only joking. Butter wouldn't melt in G W's mouth.

VinceZeb Zhukov, please prove your statements. But since you believe communism is a great idea, it will be more retarded statements and lies anyway.

Today I had an urge to post here.

Thankyou, you've been a great audience.

Zhukov The difference being that Bush is an idiot because he can't talk well and everything he's ever said is a lie.

First of all, only a fool believes that all media is left-leaning. More are probably left-wing than right, but there are some right-wing ones *coughFoxNewscough*.

Progressive is generally seen in a positive light while degressive is seen in a negative one. The left-wing has played on this mental association, making you think of the definition that refers to moving forward rather than one that merely refers to the progress of the government. The progress of the government, in my mind, is the degression of society; but because of the word trick, people subconsciously assume that the progress is of everything.

It's mostly a subconscious thing, but it does occur. You can't tell me that you would support a candidate called degressive over one called progressive if you knew nothing of the political views.

In any case, all political spectrums have their little tricks. A classic right-wing debate turner is to call everyone unpatriotic commie pinkos whom everything they have said is a lie; however, the left is quickly picking that up with the "Bush is an idiot because he can't talk well and everything he's ever said is a lie" line.

Jeanette X No, I feel pretty much the same way.

Big Papa Goat I guess I must not be a liberal then, because nothing you just said offended me, except the connotation that such things offend all liberals.
Most of the things that liberals want to dictate tend to affect other people, like telling people not to be racist, whereas conservatives, paticularly religious conservatives tell people to do things that have no effect on anyone else. Such as 'don't be gay' or 'don't do drugs' or 'no sex before marriage'.
But yes, there are liberal dumbasses that get overzealous in their pursuit of equality, but I'd say they're more left wing authoritarians, whereas true left wing liberals like myself tend to relax a little more on such issues. Maybe I'm just an anomaly though :/

Perndog You try saying to [size=large]some[/size] liberals that they're called stewardesses not flight attendants, that sexual harrassment isn't as big of an issue as it's made out to be, and that men and women have different abilities and attitudes and members of different races have different traits, then come back and tell me they don't want to dictate your morals.

EDIT: Plenty of conservatives are less strong in their opinions, too, but when I talk about liberals OR conservatives it is the loud and opinionated ones I refer to. I group all the others in the middle of the road section.

Thats more of a protection of peoples rights then a moral thing, although it does often get taken too far.

Quote:
Thou shalt use politically correct euphemisms to avoid offending anyone, ever.
Bah, its only the douchebags that do that. Political correctness isn't only a liberal thing either, there are a lot of different groups that want to control how you talk.


Quote:
Thou shalt respect the environment and animals at the cost of your own comfort and well-being.
Not all liberals are environmentalists or animal rights activists, although most of the latter two are liberals.

One and Only, where does this propaganda come from? That darned liberal-controlled media? And how can liberals be degressive? If they were degressive, we'd call them reactionaries, or conservatives.

I don't know what to say about Vince's post, since I really don't know what Vince posted. :/

Big McLargehuge HI VINCE
Sep 10th, 2003 05:33 PM
VinceZeb Exactly. Socialism is just a tool for making the packdogs of society feel like they are doing something that needs to be done, when in fact any trained ape can flip a burger at a resturant.
Sep 10th, 2003 04:00 PM
The One and Only... They would like you to think they are progressive. In truth, they are degressive.

The whole liberal=progress is just a propaganda trick.

So saieth the liberal bastards.

Hooray for socialsim!

Which morals do liberals force on others? I suppose equality does get forced pretty hard on the wealthy. :/
Sep 10th, 2003 12:11 AM
Perndog Those people's definitions are full of crap. Liberals want to dictate our morals just as much as conservatives do, it's just that their morals are progressive instead of traditional.

Was this quiz on a 'liberatian' web site?
Yes, it is a libertarian website. You just need to look around on the page headings to see the relation to the "Advocates of Self-Government" and their interests.
