Mea culpa! Mea culpa! I'm a Neo-con. Why are you a Democrat?

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

I am curious.

 

[INeedLove]

because the other side sucks---but that wasn't a choice

 

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

Interesting, but not an unexpected reply.

We want the facts to fit the preconceptions. When they don't, it is easier to ignore the facts than to change the preconceptions.

"We?"

"We?"

WE. Plural.

What is required for effective change is continuity of sincere effort to release and let go of inefficient thought patterns from the past.

 

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

We Democrats and Neo-cons or we Democrats?

I'm not that bright; I'm a Neo-con.

Spell slower...

Nods. I knew this.
*pats your head and lets you chew on it for a bit more.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?

- Gandhi

I guess Libertarian is the anti-war & pro-gun option?

 

[morewickedfun]

You're not sure what to call yourself anymore. Try "neo-con" on for size.

I don't know, I haven't been a Democrat for some time now; I merely tried to include the labels I have run accross. I want to see where perceptions lie.

There will be poor always; pathetically struggling,
Look at the good things that you've got...

The neocon bible?

Are you talking to me or Neo?

 

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

It has to be you, I copped and got the plea bargain.

It was you or me, and frankly, I'm self-centered.

 

[morewickedfun]

The neo.

I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.

 

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

I guess you are saying "anti-war" Democrat then?

Looks like your confession was thrown out.

Join the army, meet interesting people, kill them.

Naturally, the common people don't want war but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.

Oh and labels are for cans. Not people.

Okay, then, if you're talking to me, I already PUT THAT DRESS ON to get it out of the way since so many wanted to see me in it. I DO have great legs. All the kicking...


This thread is about you. I want to understand. Have a dialog. Why is it Democrats will talk to every thug on the face of the earth (Mrs. Edwards) but will not talk to their fellow citizens? I don't think you guys want to have a dialog and I don't think ANY of you can tell me why you are a Democrat short of my one lone honest reply so far.

Only in theory. Learned journals will point out that the only way we can deal with complexity IS labels...
