Just Kidding! As for here in the lower 48, our liberals tend to be very condescending and arrogant. They refuse to even acknowledge they may be wrong, and only acknowledge that you are stupid for not agreeing with them. They offer no rational arguements for their position and expect you to take it on their say so. So the rest of us get rather annoyed with their arro

Liberalism is nothing more than a "mental" disorder! Which thankfully can be curing by a frontal lobotomy! My God, because of you, I see the Light. Thank you, I am CURED!.. not.. Do these kind of comments really are common here?

I played it (before it crashed on to me.. ) and I have to agree that this mod rocks.. Fighters do the same business than usual, "corvettes" are more like small-sized capital ships. Frigates are the equivalent of capital ships in Homeworld 2, and the MC80 - Star Destroyer are Homeship-Sized battlecruiser. And I haven't had the time to build a SSD... HUGE capital ships, with a

he is from canada where liberal has a different meaning. Why do you keep saying that, damnit? 3 post-in-a-row! Where does Liberal and Conservative is different? Edit: sorry, I saw that your post was BEFORE you agreed that Liberal and Conservative are the same in our countries. So, everybody, just don't pay attention to "Liberal are diffe

It is odd though to hear people outside the US using liberal and conservative in the US way. They have entirely different meanings in political science. Baking powder? Whatcha mean? Except the old-fashion "Liberalism" is "No State, all business", I don't recall the origin of the term "Conservative"? Can you tell me what they mea

*sigh* Okay, here is the Translation everyone: Walls[/B] When, the 9th November 1989, fell Berlin’s wall, many beleived that a new era was beginning. Didn’t the crash of the communism system marked the absolute victory of democracies? The end of the Cold War, it was finally the universal peace : we would finally be able to disarm together and invest to eradicate misery from the globe. It was “the end of History”, damn it! And we would not have to build other walls o

It's a greenhouse gas as is water vapor in that it absorbs longwave radiation. Methane is also a large component of greenhouse gases so ease up on the Mexican food. Does that mean that Mexico is a large greenhouse emmiter too?

you are not american so "liberal" does not have the same meaning. I hope I remember you are from canada. I don't really see the difference. The principles of "Liberal" (economicly) is in more in favor of interventionism in the markets, more social programs and taxes to pay for the latter. While "Conservative" is in favor of a small state

Hi there, I am a Canadian (I am sure some of you already guessed), but which is a lot worse (from a conservative viewpoint), I am a Quebecois (if you don't understand why it's worse, get Canada&Quebec 101) Over here (Quebec), we have 2 major political parties. The PLQ (Liberal Party of Quebec) and PQ (Parti Quebecois). the PQ is on the right of the PQ, wich shows you exactly how much to the left we are as a society. We have public hospitals, public schools (but also private sch

I don't get this, how can someone say I am going to take your money away from you, and yet the voters think this is a good idea? Well, if you get something in return, like social advantages.. I don't see the problem? What you will pay in taxes, you won't have to pay somewhere else. That's the idea of socialism. The main problem is, often

Liberal to Centrist (so far). and only 20.. Since I study in finance and economy, I understand a little more the Conservative's viewpoint (which is why I think those course should be mandatory in High School), but the liberals do have serious concerns about "Superfree Conservatives". However, more than often, liberals adopt demagogy. And Conservatives do too. In the past years, however, I have seen more demagogy in the conservative camp

Arctic temperatures during the late 20th century appear to have been the warmest in 400 years. Satellite data suggest that the extent of snow cover has declined by 10 percent since the late 1960s. During the 20th century, the annual duration of lake and river ice cover in the mid- and high latitudes of the northern hemisphere declined by about two weeks. Since

I read an article, recently, about a Democrat candidate who does everything he can to show peoples he is a REAL conservative. I wonder, how far does the Party Allegiance (right spelling?) streches about laws? If the Republicans try to vote a law, can some Republicans vote for, and some against, Democrats doing the same? And if they do, what is the difference between a Republican Candidate who says he is conservative, and a Democrat candidate who says he is conservative? If they

. Are your ideas established facts? i.e. that Man is creating global warming? 2. Whether or not it is established fact, are you proposing those who disagree with you be muzzled by throwing them in a dungeon or even killing them to silence them for their beliefs? 1) No established facts, yet. But no fact that the global warming we actually s

Once more, slowlier: Both are politician making money out of their so-called opinions. One receive money from the industry The other from the environnementalists. The industry gives money in order to SAVE money. It has a huge capital base. The environnementalists give money in order to... further their

Drmiler, it is true that Kyoto only penalize the rich countries (U.S. are still the #1 world-wide polluters). China and India, while quickly climbing the greenhouse-ladder, aren't in the top - yet -. We'll get to that later.. U.S.A. is the country that has the more opportunity to reduce world-wide greenhouse emmision. Your industries are richer than anyone, they are prospering and expanding. While it's true that the industry would loose some of it's efficiency - for a short whi

(drmiler, I'll come back to you) You telling me that the Global Warming is the salad Gore&Co are trying to sell? While I agree that politicans simply supports values to advance their agendas, I see that your arguments are totaly failed. Exemple: Bush is trying to put Kyoto and the Global Warming to the garbage. He is a politican, and his agenda is better served that way. Why? 'Cause he will receive much, much money out of polluting industries (shall they be oil, cars, or any ot
