Liberalism as immaturity

[davearoo]

This is exactly why I grew so bored with supposedly "political discussion" forums.

It's generally impossible to address the merits of one side vs. the other when some proposed legislation is being debated, or to discuss the merits of one candidate over the other before an election.

The threads invariably get flooded with idiots who have nothing to say beyond how terrible the (nebulous) "liberals" are, or how terrible the (nebulous) "fascists" are.

Let's throw as much shit as we can at other peoples' point of view! Weee!

If its self confessed liberals then yeah ok. But im done anyway. Call it shit or whatever you want, my views didnt materialis overnight, i dont need to respond to people who just repeat exactly the same things as they do on other threads ie - that circular reasoning, id love to hear something from somebody that hasnt been said before or copied from someone else, whateverrrrr, im done.

I was always taught when I was younger.....

There are 3 things you never talk about in polite society.....

Sex, Politics, and Religion.


But whoever said this was a "polite" society??????

The word liberal is used with such laxity and little attempt to clearly define the term. The majority of Western democracies function within a spectrum of liberal thought, thus why they are often called liberal democracies.

I guess the concept of "Liberal" got trampled on and discarded somewhere down the line....

I personally find the liberal thought process to be very childlike. Things like, "The one percent are such meanies and poopie heads, they need to share" are things that come out of liberals' mouths far too often.

And this thread is more mature because????

Personally I'm a moderate, centrist and I don't like conservatives nor liberals nor morons nor idiots - hell I freely admit I hate most of the human species. I still don't go around starting a thread spouting my personal opinion.

It boils down to this. Librals want everyone to share, conservatives are just selfish pricks. The reality is there is a middle ground which everyone needs to get their ass in before the world goes to hell in a hand-basket.
