That's said on the other side?

For example, I've often identified myself more with the right. However, I agree with the left about gay rights and the belief that most--if not all--evangelicals are fucking insane.

On monetary matters, I'm on what is supposed to be the right. As far as social issues goes, I don't think it's the government's business. The FCC should regulate wavelengths, not content. I think we can all agree on the basics of don't steal, rape, or kill. Gubment can punishify them. Leave the rest to the states.

Also, I believe in freedom of religion. I just don't trust organized religions. I think they've lost something over the years of pulpit politics.

Don't be "moderate." You'll break poor Pariah's mind.

Pariah hates it when people won't let a major political party tell them what to think.

I think that all depends on how you define "crazy" my good man!

I mean, if you want to call aligning your priorities with a diametric force most--if not totally--akin to your own sensibilities crazy, then that's your chicken to choke.

But then again, the two alternatives involve either being partied with a side almost totally against my principles (that's pretty bad) OR joining a bunch of people in the center that constantly shout out "CENTER!! CENTER!! WE'RE IN THE CENTER!! AND THAT MAKES US REASONABLE AND RESPONSIBLE AND UNBIAS!!" (that's the antichrist).

If you wanna go the Milquetoast route (well, pseudo-Milquetoast in your case since you basically triangulate according to Pro's ranting whatever it may entail), then more power to you. But keep in mind buttercups: if you really think standing at the back wall with your arms folded and your shades on while wearing that black leather rockstar jacket and those blue suede shoes while everyone else is having fun on the dance floor equates to productivity, then all you're doing is smoking your own pole.

I mean, do you really think that offsetting extreme opinions simply for the sake of doing so helps matters? Really? Reeeeaaallly?

Right now, you've established yourself as a "moderate" and non-combative parallel of Prometheus--which is rather pathetic in and of itself since it's all for the sake of his own ego that you're doing so. But what you're insinuating here is that you want to be thedoctor. And in many a sense, that's quite a bit worse. Because for all the retardation Pro spouts from his aging leftist white liberal drug-addict head, he still bothers to take a position that can be quantified beyond "I stand apart from you--whoever you may be." Last I checked, the rkmbs AND real world defined that as trying too hard.

Why try to solve the problem of an overflow of opinions with more opinions that simply characterize you as an individual who's up your own ass?

I could do that to. I could rationalize any number of my views in a moderate light as you try to do, but all I'd be doing is making things more ambiguous. So no thanks Nancy.

I think the only thing you can be thankful about right now is that you haven't achieved JLA's level of retardation. But you are on the right track for that if you that's what you want.

You are nutter. Thanks for proving my point. I'm just asking you to name one thing that you can see eye-to-eye with the other side about. Save me your blathering over diametric forces and blah blah blah blah blah. It isn't always so black and white. I'm not saying it is all grey but, I'm damn sure saying it isn't all black and white. But, no, you and your kind on both sides have to take your FoxNews/MSNBC message to the choir and try to shout it out over your equally delusional counter part.

Further, please don't take the craptastic route of trying to equate being reasonable with being unbiased. Believe it or not, they are not two peas in a pod and--actually--I think it is strongly questionable whether the notion of pure unbiasedness is even a coherent idea.

Far from milquetoast, I think the "middle" ought to be more assertive in calling out both sides for their hypocritical bullshit and calling for them to get off their soapboxes for awhile and talk to each other. You can inject reason without necessarily taking it to its Reign of Terror extremes.

The rest is all just insults and ignorantly proclaiming that the only way is the myopic way so I'll just stop here.

You've finally come face to face with your destiny Iggy. You are now and forever more a self-impressioned cool kid with nothing to prove and no point to make except that your opinion is more valid because it's less extreme.

Congratulations Doc jr!

If we're going to discuss notions such as conformism and individuality then, perhaps, we should take this to the Deep Thoughts forum. Just sayin'.

This sounds like Halo-levels of dyslexia on your part.

Is that better then emulating Pro or Doc.....Hmmmm....They're all so pathetic. Hard to tell.

\:lol\: Spot on.

Iggy, why are you wasting your time? I think it's more than obvious (as anyone except WB will tell you) that trying to 'discuss ideas' with Pariah is akin to trying to get Hitler to participate in the Handicap Olympics. He's already dead-set against anything you believe. He is right, you are wrong. So, don't bother engaging him. He just whines and cries. Same as ever.

BTW, did you count how many times he's mentioned my name in this thread with zero provocation from me? I have him SPOOKED! \:lol\:

As you can tell by my user title and some of my posts, I ran with it. The rage on he got was so intense that I could help adding more fuel to it. ;\) I guess all his imaginary cub scout buddies must think he is the coolest now!

I especially love how schizophrenic he got in his accusations: "You're Probot!" "You're Doc Jr.!" "You're not an individual!" "You're a clone!" "You're two clones at once!" "" ""

And, I guess I should've reminded him that the cool kids with their leather jackets and sunglasses are still having fun at the dance because they're the ones that snuck in a flask.

And the fact he's supposed to be an adult, and he's worried about "cool kids" should tell you something right there. Someone never got over their school-era mistreatment. It's a shame when kids grow up bringing their demons into adulthood with them...

Yes, yes, we KNOW. Everyone knows. It's in every thread. You're dragging my name to every forum. Hell, I respect your fear of me. I've spanked you so many times in the past decade, and you can't seem to catch a break with anyone else, so it was inevitable I would get under your skin in a bad way. So, I get it. You're scared. You care what I think about you. I get it. No worries, okay?
