While I fully agree that we should have universal healthcare, Obamacare was not the way to do it. Extending Medicare would have been a good first step. But the OP, if true, doesn't surprise me. Obamacare was a mess from the start (hey, I agree with Rev Rick for once :p ). As far as Obamacare...
This is aimed mostly at monotheists, particularly Abrahamics, but any theist can answer.
A simple question: what is god made of? Light, energy, what? Is god made of anything at all? If that's the case, how does that work?
I think politics needs to change, parties and systems shouldn't remain static. This is why we're here now trying to find viable ways to get more support for third parties. I'd hope that somewhere down the road we'd be discussing fourth parties.
I think the reason why there's not enough support for third parties is that most people are content with the status quo. They don't like change, and they're quite alright just dealing with things as they are. The problem with this is that nothing is going to get done this way, it's not going...
Awhile back, I started a thread/poll asking if there was enough interest in starting a sub-forum for the Green party, which there wasn't. But Draka suggested there may be enough interest in a third party sub-forum. So I'll start the poll here: do you support third parties, and have interest in...
All good answers. What I'm basically seeing, is that anarchism can work on a small scale, but nation-wise, like the whole of the US, it wouldn't.
I basically consider myself Green, particularly liberal (most Greens tend to be liberal, I know there's right Greens, but those are few and far...
From time to time, I think about what I believe politically, and most of my beliefs are centered on Green and Socialist ideas. I've considered anarchism from time to time, and sometimes I even identify as some type of anarchist (generally eco(green)-anarchism or anarcho-socialism). But, there...
So judging a person's political stances, and not liking them for it, is immoral? Oh, the irony...again. Moral low ground? You have to be kidding. And before you judge me as a social democrat, you may be interested to know that I'm a Green Anarchist. So try again, and this time, with a...
Caught in what act? I've said it twice already, and I'll say it a third time: Palin is an idiot. If I were so ashamed of it, I wouldn't keep saying, I'd be trying to hide it. The reason why disagreement comes second, is because the argument has gotten old. Face it, Palin is just like all the...
Liberals don't like Palin for her political views. I know that's sometimes a hard concept for conservatives to grasp, always going for the idea that every time a liberal disagrees with a conservative, it's a personal attack. And, in that case, yes, she's an idiot. I just call it how I see it...
I think my irony meter just exploded. Conservatives spew more hatred and ignorance than anything I've ever seen.
I've grown to see conservatism as a disease, of which morality, knowledge, wisdom, and compassion are the medicine. Liberalism is a much more ethical and humanistic ideology...
