This thread seems like a very civilized and classy place, in spite of its somehow threatening name -ggg-
I would like to make a short statement [read disclosure] so it explains my presence here. [I am risking my reputation here, I am what is usually known as a "capitalist pig" --g--]
Indeed my moto is:
"It takes courage to be a pig."
~ Stanley Druckenmiller [ex]Chief Trader for George Soros
My other hero is Gordon Gecko -gg-
So, with that said, I am not what one would say a "left winger", nor I like to be "grouped" into any kind of socio-political group. Particularly, I can safely say that I despise the "right winger" cult.
It can be said I am a member of the human race.
By reference, I have read some of posts in the other threads that in a way prompted the formation of this thread.
If that is the best the right wingers have... Well, small wonder they believe in deities!
I will suggest to the audience if a negative poster, particularly those of the "right wing" kind happens to appear this way. As the header indicates, he has one shot at being civil. If s/he wastes it. "puff the magic dragon". No arguments, no nothing. just "puf".
The way I perceive this place to be is a place where we can exchange "value" for "value" under a friendly environment. No need to get un-civil.
The strange thing I find is that although I really do not agree with most of the ideas of the "left wingers" (you know: "dady gov. knows best, or tax & spend" etc etc. I find that I have the best fun with them because usually, they know the best Jazz, the best restaurants, in general, they also know to eat better (personally, I think being a right winger is the result of eating too many McDonalds --gg--) they travel to the most unique places, and probably they have led fairly interesting lives.
That I like. Because they have learned to live like humans, not like zombitron wired-guided by some sort of divine entity.
They have never met this entity, they have never seen it, and they say that this deity preaches "love". Yet the record shows that they are killers, blood thirsty bastards that will not hesitate to slit your throat, hang you or torture you... just to "spread their love".
It is a good thing I was born in the 20th Century. If not, by now I would already be.... well... let's keep a positive attitude.
Anyway, my point is, I think we are better humans and we can demonstrate it by acting more civil here. Remember... one chance to be civil or "puf"
Thank you as I step down from the box. |
