I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:First of all, 99.9% of the people have no control over the system, and hence no choice. They're just trying to survive in a system built and controlled by others.- Rue Eh, Rue. You were asking above why I thought you believed in conspiracies? Here's why. -Geezer

Quote:Originally posted by SignyM: So Geezer, I'm curious: Are you saying that EVERY huge imbalance of social power is a conspiracy? Let's see... Imperial Egypt, where everyone else is surviving in a system built and controlled by the Pharaohs and priest class... a conspiracy? Imperial China... another conspiracy? The Court of Louis XIV, where the peasants and minor nobility lived in a system controlled by the Sun King...another conspiracy? I recognize that society has levels of power w/o it necessarily being a conspiracy. But if you can't, then it seems the only person who sees a conspiracy in every corner is... you?

Quote:Originally posted by rue: No, I don't assign demeaning nicknames to people I disagree with. I disagree with many people about almost everything, and with everyone about at least some things. And they all remain nickname-free. And out of all the people I interact with on this board, there are only four with special pet names. You'll have to try harder to figure out why you're "Slick".

Quote:I do believe things have changed a bit since the 18th century. I realize that China, North Korea, and some of the countries in Africa, the Middle East, and other places may still be under dictitorial control. However, most of Europe and the Americas, plus big bits of the former British empire, have discovered this thing called democracy. You'll probably see it at work in a couple of weeks when the US Congress moves from majority Republican to majority Democratic. Claiming that 0.1% of the world population currently controls the other 99.9% to the point that they have no choice seems at least a bit paranoid to me.
Quote:Cool! Can I quote you in my next political operative evaluation input? It might mean a bonus.
Quote:Thinking about it, I believe I have more trouble with the incessant use of the word "evil" than anything else. Just because someone disagrees wiht you over policy does not make them evil.-Geezer Was Hitler "evil"? Where does "disagreement" and "different values" end and "evil" being? Or does "evil" even exist in your world view?- Signy I I don't see this as a useful paradigm in realworld politics, when used by either side.-Geezer Notice how Geezer avoided the whole embarassing "what is evil?" question?-Signy Nope. Just had other stuff to do.Would I be evil if I pointed out how embarrassing it must be to mis-spell "embarassing"?-Geezer

Quote:Originally posted by rue: So I went back to this exchange: “WHY DO YOU SUPPORT BUSH?” “JUST TO PISS YOU OFF!!!!” You see, I have a timeline below. Slick joined (under his current name) early Jan 2004. August 2004, almost exactly 8 months after joining, Slick posted his very first archived post. In it he taunted Knibblet for indirectly criticizing Bush.

Quote: Misguided maybe, wrong, foolish, supporting different values. Well, I did answer Righteous9, who posed the question. And I answered your comment above in the same spirit in which it was posted. Oh. Hitler evil? Yep. Stalin too, even if he did beat Hitler.

Quote:Originally posted by SignyM: So "evil" is a useful paradigm for talking about Stalin and Hitler, but not for talking about any USA Administration? Why not? You would prefer to talk about "different values" instead? Why?

Quote:Kaneman: Do we really need the yellow-horned swamp frog? Are they worth more than our present quality of living? Is there not a way to manage forests so we always have them? Are rain forests overrated? Old growth forests? How much do we gain from having millions of acres of rain forest if no one except a handful of people go into them anyway?

Quote:I try not to make my vote in congressional races a proxy for my like or dislike of the president, so I'll probably go on issues of more local interest. If I want to get rid of the Republican in the White House, I'll vote against him in 2008.
Quote:I do have the natural disinclination to remove a Senator who has tenure, as he can bring more local benefits.

Quote:Just, for anyone who hasn't noticed it, I wanted to alert everyone to the objective fact that liberals are losing this debate because of their antagonistic attitude.

Quote:Originally posted by rue: Hey Slick Just read what you typed on this thread. And I'm still holding on to my marker to point out yet another one of your lies. Not that it'll change our point of view. I understand that. It's just one of those chores, like taking out the trash, that one must do from time to time. You know, to keep the place clean and healthy.
