Finding your inner conservative.

[WilsonKPresley]

I saw that in big countries from Europe the authorities were welcoming all islamic people in their countries. They were asking for political asylum and most of them were eligible.

if someone is disabled, then we support them. if we get Rob, UD, Merc, SeanH, Izzy, TheThrob, SeanR kind off welfare (because these kinds of people chose not to work) then there will be more money to help those in need.

Also spending program 'surplus' which is supposed to be saved for later.

I have a lot of problem with 'government' as they have created salves since the kennedy days. we need to 86 welfare and free housing. 86 the obama iphone program as its 30-40% fraud. end obama care

welfare and socialism are mental illnesses

So: Stop, reassess priorities.

Ask France about 'no go' zones for local police.

England, France ... total shit holes with massive islamic issues and unemployment

being an obama slave is a global problem with your kind

yes, dear. it's exactly like that. but... you are aware that Obama is only the boss in america, yes? and that our welfare system predates him just a smidge? also, i'm sure your mother appreciates that your posting style has changed so considerably since you joined. far more hygienic.

You have absolutely no understanding of the Constitution of the United States of America. Obama isn't the boss of shit. The executive branch is the weakest, mostly signing paper and figure-head stuff. The only real power the Executive has is Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces and Veto.

This is why he is bad.

and that our welfare system...

We have no 'welfare system' but instead 'public social programs' that people call welfare. Welfare, as you reference, was ended long ago.

...predates him just a smidge?

Him or his party? Also, not by as much as you'd think.

Come over for tea sometime - our house always smells of woodsmoke and, at least when I'm at home, very rarely disinfectant. We'll discuss le Carre and avoid race, and it will be lovely.

You might want to save the disinfectant for after he leaves.


I often wonder if I'm going to be the last person on Earth using capital letters and punctuation. The kids who have grown up with texting are going to kill off English once and for all, I fear.

I grew up with texting, but I turned out just fine.

I think.

No... no... can't... fight... it...

Yes, most children are perfectly capable of switching between text speak when appropriate and formal speech for public speaking, interviews, etc. In any case, those under 20-25 or so have grown up with unlimited characters and predictive text, so old school text speak would now mark you out as a 25-35 year old. It's all about context.

My own writing style is entirely different in my role as a 4chan moderator, for example.

I love reading the online guides to "text speech" for parents so that they can "understand" what their children are saying.

'I am a conservative in everything except politics', my father used to say, and the same is true of me. I think my dangerous proclivities are well known hereabouts - tea, furniture, architecture, books, music, good manners, etc. But what of yours? Whether liberal or conservative, anarchist or fascist, in your political views, what about in life generally?

Share, if you would be so good, those things you still prefer the old-fashioned way. You too, Candi! There must be something...

Not to be rude about your thread Des, but there is something about its premise that bothers me. Why would anyone associate "tea, furniture, architecture, books, music, good manners" with conservatism?
Most of those have important avant-garde or even radical aspects to them, in particular the creative crafts in your list. They are continuously evolving and while you may not like ALL the modern permutations, but I bet you that you like some.

And while I can't think of a particularly radical tea, I also struggle to find examples of conservative good manners, so - swings and roundabouts.

I can see what you're trying to do, but you will NEVER make me call myself conservative. Not in any, single way!

 

[Lorilei]

I'm sexually conservative, but that's about it.

 

[edwalu2]

I'm a pretty hardcore socialist. By which I mean I'm very left wing. By which I mean I am both thoughtful and good natured.

I'm handsome too, but I really mention that more for the sake of completeness than as a boast.

By the way, what the hell is going on on these forums? Half the posters on here seem to think that capitalism hasn't been entirely discredited as an economic system, and I have read more than one post mentioning Fox News without also pointing and laughing.

It's a very odd place. I'll take it!

 

[LJ_Reloaded]

Fuck that, I'm not even (politically) conservative in my opposition to radical feminism.

Human experience, history, tradition and common sense, mean nothing to the traditional leftist. Ben Stein said yesterday, there's nobody in America dumber than a left wing college student. I would add, there's no hope for those who haven't grown out of their idealism by the time they're 40.

#AscriptionAgain

You routinely ascribe unpopular positions to your political opponents, blubberella, based on what you don't like.

I'd try to help you along, but like you said, there's no hope for those who haven't grown out of their idealism by the time they're 40.

Or, in your case, 90.

Are you an actual person Jen, or are you an auto-response bot? Because you are failing the Turing test, badly.
