The Political Compass Revisited

What!
As I have witnessed it, many conservatives tent to follow the lead of things that have been established in the past... I mean hell, 'conserve' is in the damn word...Conservative-tending or disposed to maintain existing views, conditions, or institutions (web-muthaphukin-sters).
So like I said following existing ideas and opinions is much easier tham forming your own, therefore, being coservative is easier and takes less mental effort. That is not to say that conservatives do not think, just that it is easier to be conservative.
Also I find that conservatives tend to get their panties in a wad very easily
seems to me that lifting any accountability also clears the path for selfish reaction (vice consideration).
termination of an unwanted/unplanned pregnancy is an excellent example. There are others, but that should be good troll fodder for now.
so, you revise your 'reactive' statement for one which required research (which i applaud). But, now i don't see which side of the fence you are on, according to your definition. You plan on changing any positions any time? If not, then welcome home, son.
i avoid your 2nd statement by not wearing panties.
Aw that is just because libs don't wear any underpants.....so they can't wad.Originally posted by golgiaparatus

Me. I hate freeball'n. I like to keep my soilders safe and tucked away. (yes I am a tighty whitey man myself. Actually I do have them in colors)Yes, libs form thier own opinions, just like every other liberal.
Conservatives don't think for themselves. They let Bush do it for them...it is easier that way.
Conservatives seem very defensive too...
It's their abused puppy past.....they can't help it.
I revised it so your could wrap your reactionary brain around it.
I try not to put myself on a side of the fence. However, people who I disagree with most tend to be conservative.
Seems to me its not about what's easier, so much as its about what's right. Just because you agree with a common opinion doesnt mean you're incapable of forming your own either. To me, it seems like lots of libs are nothing more than non-conformists who wouldnt agree with any accepted situation because they like controversy and hearing their own voice. Sometimes it takes alot of effort to stand up for what you beleive in when you're conservative to. Effort has nothing to do with it IMO.
PS. I'd never date a girl with dreadlocks. Its not because Im uneducated about them or havent devoted time to learning to love them, its just that i think they're gross. Im a bit conservative in that manner. You, on the other hand, are more liberal in your acceptance of what a girl's hair should do. You think its fine. The difference has nothing to do with intelligence. Its in the basic makeup of being a person.

fair enough, but you can't argue with the (circular in my usage) m-w.com definition:
but wait, also from m-w.com, we have this for liberal:
so, are liberals both obsolete & lacking in moral restraint?
and ok, there is this:
heyyyyy!!!!
must be fun to work @ MW & troll all day
You're all conservatives to me!
Come on these are not conservative only traits. In reality this forum is an anamoly as most of the folks here do have well thoughout opinions and beliefs (there are some knuckleheads on some issues). In the real world, most folks don't give their beliefs a second thought. They stick with what they knew as kids and never waver from that spot. If you were to ask them even a basic defense of any of their positions they would be horribly unable to do so. For the most part the hard core on either side of the coin are completely and totally set in their ways with little or no chance of ever modifying their views.Originally posted by golgiaparatus

Liberals do not hold any special edge or ability over conservatives for rethinking their positions or providing new and innovative solutions to our existing problems.
I have seen plenty of self confessed liberals on this forum get way bent out of proportion (or panties in a wad as you stated). Even more so then the conservative brethern here.
And I'd never have sex with a flotation device or any form of sea mammal, our opinions will differ in that way, I am almost positive
But thats okay.
You're sooooooo conservative that way.
Floatie phucking is wrong and I hear Sharpton is going to ban floatie sex in all states, thats why Im with him! Its because of the issues man!Originally posted by RhinofromWA
