I'm not sure I understand the whole liberal vs conservative debate. Primarily, I have a problem with using a single word to describe one's political views. What does liberal mean? What does conservative mean? When it comes to fiscal and economic policies and social/welfare programs, I like a conservative approach. When it comes to personal/societal/human rights and freedoms, religion, environment, and moral/family issues, I like a more liberal and secular approach. And there are some things that I like the government to take a strong, centralized leadership approach (I guess that would be liberal)... for example, national infrastructure projects... but would then decentralize / privatize at a later time when the market has developed sufficiently to thrive on its own.
So, what does that make me? A conservative? A liberal? How does one sum up all their political views into a single word?
Well I tend to hate to get into these 'political' idealistic (and over time, you tend to get bitter/jaded about such 'idealism', being just a pion in the grand scheme of things, unless you are a brillant scientist or world leader/influence), but while I would 'characterise' myself along the same lines as e_dawg, we I think are 'clearly' quite different---but still some how coming from a similar POV, and how it that???. For how could anyone not remember in vivid technicolor detail-burned into my memory, that skin tight [SIZE=-1]Turquoise top-that so pefectly contoured her plump, pert/shapely small breasts, and those form fitting black leather cargo pants around that tight little ass, and black stilleto heeled boots, not to mention the most amazingly 'manicured/combed stright?' non-excessively plucked narrow Korean (while I'm more partial to Cantonese hotties than the majority of uninteresting Koreans, I rarely see Korea spelled by a North American as 'Corea' like Cougteck has) eyebrows of Ms [/SIZE]
Aqua[SIZE=-1] GUI (ok, my super hottie vision of beauty gained her freshman 15 in the last year or so, but she's stll pretty hot, even if not now, the "ultimate" she used to be
). Inside I was drooling profusely, outside cool as ever; when I complimented her on that top, which made her smile slightly and say 'thank you'.
And yeah, speaking of 'liberal/conservative' bias, I did not see even a whimper of disgust at Cougtek's usuage of the 'liberal' 'land of the rising sun'
reference. So are you 'wetbacks', crazy Canucks, americans/Eurotrashers, from the 'land of the dispicable setting sun'???
I hate to say it, but like the Pol-Sci Purdue Univ? graduate Future Shock, most Americans (N.A.) have limited knowledge of the geo-political economic infrastructures of multi-national business concerns. It's a very complex issues that politians and the average layperson try to simplify. In it's lowest, base rendering, we have the fact of the 1980's when cheap/inexpensive Japanese imported cars, made in Japan (rising sun) were partially the source of the down turn of American automanufacturing job loses. Enter drunking white trash guys (IIRC, it was in Detroit) who in venting their brain dead rage, took a baseball bat to those fucking Jap's responsible? for American jobs loss, they clubed him, he died. Only one little problem, those squinty eye-Asians, land of the 'rising sun', they all look the same to whitey racists, the young guy they clubed to death was in fact Chinese...this in the early 1980's.
Point of fact, 'liberal' California, even today (white boy, commader of campus security who forced me to allow him to take photo graphs of me after I protested, after security entrance gate to Pepperdine University gave me a temporary day parking permit aftere being told I was there to visit the law library after asking for info on where to park, who's Law Library is open longer hours on Sundays' in the summer months; I was told by racist security police A-hole that if I did not allow him to harrass me in telling me that it's a private university after assininely telling me 'haven't I talked to you before?' ...like i would ever forget this complete A-hole, that he would illegally, at least he was such a dipshit about the law that Pepperdine Univ couf have faced a lawsuit if I so desired, detain me while he phoned Malibu Sheriff's office to have me arrested for trespassing) is not so 'liberal'. Up until the 1960's, in California Asian-American
citizens, born in the USA, could not marry a non-Asian. My mother and father had to go to Albequeqi, New Mexico, USA to get legally married!
Yeah, there's a whole lot of stupidd shit going on in this world. That the nature of primitive human beings who lack 'humanity' (do a search on the definition, read the definition of 'humane' and why generally, pompous humans are so lacking inthat quality of being humane), is such taht we al mostly selfish, self-centered, self-absorbed people of one level or another, living or just surviving in our own little worlds until we die.
Now put forth those ideas above, and you'll be banned in no time from a conservative hick site like Candlepowerforums, or even the B&G on SR, where Eugene in his infinite bias, keeps reporting on 15k rpm hard drives, when for the masses SSD like the preview Sandisk $350 32GB 67MB/s read/45MB/s write drive is a forerunner of the ever greater importance of the laptop market for 2010-2015 transitional period. In 2020, I'm thinking there will be few if any USA auto manufacturing plants in the USA (they will be in China or India), few people will have 'desktop' computers---something most of you here on SF should consider, just as no one uses 35mm film or plays 33.3 rpm vinyl records.
