<<I dunno, I get along with liberals just fine. Maybe it's when you refer to someone as a sociopath just because they disagree with you that they choose to avoid you. For the most part, I try to associate with nice people, good people...liberal or conservative doesn't much matter to me.>> I don't call a person a sociopath unless I think they are one. I spent almost 50 years studying sociopaths. They are about 4% of the population and can be very dangerous. 40% of prison population. Nothing can be done for them either. Hard wired that way. Where did I refer to someone as a sociopath just because they disagreed with me? I don't do that sort of thing. See that is the sort of thing I really hate that conservatives do all the time. Make serious accusations lightly. I have rules. Socrates rules are my rules. The social contract. I try to be true to my philosophy. I don't throw around words like sociopath lightly. So where do you think I did that? I also have many conservative friends. But we do not talk politics. I only talk politics with my liberal friends and then we agree on almost everything. But I also know only about 5% of the population is as liberal as I am and 20% are liberal. So I live in a small population of people. But most of my friends and all of my family are in that 5% group. But I could have had a conservative kid. That would have been tough on the kid and I. I see lots of families stuggling with that one.
