It seems to me like "altruistic" liberals are the most closed-minded of all. Besides judging a person's entire character by political party (as proven by a few dating blogs), they seem to think that anybody who wants to improve society in a different way is a bad person.
Sure, to them, throwing money at the less fortunate is a solution, but some have different ideas on how to help the downtrodden. It's like the saying goes.... Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, he eats for life.
After all, if I'm not mistaken, even the most socialist of places have social problems.
As for fascist vs. kook, I don't mind people being called kooks so much as I mind people being called fascists in the same way people don't mind when I call somebody a jerkwad than when I call them a child molestor.
Why do you have such an attitude? It's really hard to take anything you say seriously when you say things like this.
BTW, Saint Ying, go blog somewhere else.
Yes, because that should have been taken literally.
So, Muggaz, what do you do to progress mankind? What do you do to change things that you see wrong?
So, what do you do to change "crap" that you don't like? Voting helps, but what do you do when the person you voted for loses?
That's might "right" of you
Why? Why do you say that? Why do you feel that you can only "tell" other people what you see is wrong?
Funny, you told me that I was right wing. You told me that you prided yourself with having an open mind, you then said that you would like me to prove you wrong about me being conservative. I then told you some of the things I *do* to help right the wrongs I see. What do you do? You say "I don't think you are liberal enough to understand why some people are so aggreived". Even though I am the one *doing* something to change things. You also said "Just so we are clear... I am also not a fan of people who do nothing but whinge... " but then you say that you *do* nothing but talk. And you claim to be more progressive than I am. Pish.
Who said anything about fighting? What about volunteering to help the needy? What about donating to food pantries or donating time at soup kitchens? What about helping elderly? Or on a smaller scale, help you neighbors or family that are in need? What about leading by example? But, like I said before, actions are harder than words. It's much easier to talk about what needs to be done than to start making small changes that will add up. If you really want to advocate, you have to be in the action along with the people you are trying to get to help.
I really don't think that you do, either that or you have a very odd way of showing it. You have right out said that I am something I am not. How can you possibly say you know where I am coming from?
And, I see where you are coming from. I just don't agree with it.
And, what is that liberal truth? I wasn't aware that liberalism was a religion and that I will go to hell if I don't believe in it.
I see where these people get the "kook" thing from.
uh, when did I ever say that? Oh..wait...you are making an assumption about somebody that you know nothing about....silly me.
You don't know me- I don't know you. Let's keep it that way.
Saint Ying, I honestly hope that you are not serious and are simply trolling for a reaction, because you're doing nothing for your reputation or for your beliefs.
shades, Saint Ying is posting from politicalmachine.com forums (which show the political section of the forums). I think he may be a little too self absorbed in whatever political web he's in to realize that a lot of people don't live and breath politics enough to get *that* worked up over who is on what side, and that people on here usually treat each other with respect.
Common decency is not so very common anymore.
