Cool.

Now how about you figure out why td.com's poli board is such a conservative echo chamber cesspool?

are there post limits based on voting on here or other such devices? other than the selectively enforced religion ban, this is a free-for-all.

Because people from the West Coast and Northern part of the US are literally fricking retarded.

Not like joking with friends retarded but trying to have a semblance of a conversation with one regarding social issues is like talking to a chia pet rock. They dont know how or why they are growing, they just know that someone else is making it happen.

ETA: And I am nowhere near a conservative. Not even close.

On a topic about schools in New York, I posted this:

quote:

This is why I support school choice, it should be up to the parents of each kid to send them where they feel is the best place to send them. Get the governments and bureaucrats out of it.


Heavily downvoted.

Also in a comment section I saw a Christian being attacked for being against gay marriage, and the liberal atheist hivemind attacked him. One poster was attacking him for eating shellfish because apparently that against mosaic in the old testament and therefore a sin.

I replied that Jesus's death fulfilled mosaic law and in the new covenant we are no longer under mosaic laws in the old testament. I was viciously attacked, downvoted, and got a lot of private messages verbally attacking me like a bunch of angry hyenas fighting over a zebra carcass. These people were really angry at me as if I had committed the Sandy Hook shootings. Telling me that I should do a better job at reading my "2000 year old fairytale book". A lot of "tolerance" they were showing.

I can't stand when atheists try to use scripture as a weapon to point out Christians as hypocrites when they don't even know the contexts of the scripture they are using.

Good for you. Hard to tell, but I mean that in a non-sarcastic way.

Cause it's an SEC football site that happens to have political talk forum.

I would guess the Reed College Alumni forum would tend to the left in a similar way.

This board isn't even that right wing. It has a heavy libertarian tinge, which shares some classical liberal values.

As far as radicalism is concerned, this board is pretty mild in both directions .. others I visit with mixed patrons have absolutely bat-shite crazy die-hard for"their side" folks that would put Decatur and CA to shame.

It may be an echo chamber, but as far as echo chambers go, its pretty clean here.
