Yeah, Vigilans got the better of that exchange. xD


Yeah Vigilians got the better of me by using a immature analogy.


It is a very apropos analogy, thank you. Fascism is immaturity ;)

Hey... if Joker says "got the better of me" to a comment I made to femme... does that mean femme is actually... Inuyasha? :o


Who in the blue hell is Inuyasha.


I think he is a cartoon character sis :lol: I perfer to watch Lost Girl not a big cartoon fan.


The Inuyasha in question is a member of far right conservative ideology who used to post a lot on WP. I'm not sure if he's even around anymore. If he's not, that's sad, because I actually got to liking the guy - even though he and I disagreed about 99% of everything in the universe!

i can be bothered to think of people as unevolved and evil if they enthusiastically support punitive public policies which disenfranchise the working class of which i belong. i can nominally respect those self-appointed overlords if only they were at least upfront about their class warfare against people they perceive as beneath them, instead of hiding behind disingenuous blather about "voter fraud" and such. IOW, the high mucketymucks and their useful fauxnews idiots should stop peeing on my leg and then telling me it's only raining. :roll:

As I think the use of folksy sayings escapes an Aspie like me, you may have to explain that one.

Bull market (expanding optimistic market). Bear market (pessimistic down market). Pigs, the conventional symbol of greed. The greedy s.o.b. types always come out ahead.

I am really all over the map politically.
more of an individualist...lean more so to the left though.
However I do have some conservative beliefs....gun rights, death penalty for the worst criminals (however only with positive DNA evidence)

I been told that I am so far left that I am right.

Like the rest of me, my political beliefs are a complex mystery wrapped in an enigma. :flower:

In the Middle Ages, the nobility was obviously positionned above the majority of the population. It held almost all political powers, at least in rural areas, all completely open and justified as the unalterable order given by God.

Yet for all that, I always feel, when comparing them to their peasants, that they were much closer to each other than our ruling class is from our lower class.
