'kay bruce... and when did you graduate high sckool, exactally?

Probably around the same time you misspelt 'school' for the umpteenth time.

May I have the person that comment was directed at respond now, or do you have another irrelevant quip to make?

[Camel Jockey]

Libertarian all the way.

Am I the only one that thinks 'stickying' a thread consigns it to low participation?

conservative

I like:

-smaller government
-strong military
-secure borders
-pro business
-no special treatment for race, sex, etc., only merit based
-not having the gov't waste tax dollars
-strong educational system
-not having liberal judges "interpret" the constitution to suit their political  purposes, because they are not legislators
-tough on crime, especially violent and even white collar

What, my "socialist" vote for Jag doesn't count?

True, but I tried to get a little debate going and no reply was forthcoming - I just think sometimes having the topic at the top of the page makes people roll their eyes over it.  I know the first part of the page I look at is the most recently replied 'normal' topic below the stickies.

I do the same thing.

[Brixtonbulldog]

Libertarianism is a version of liberalism.

*Hope this helps*

Linked but not the same by any means.

The extreme of Libertarianism is anarchy and the extreme of libralism is socialism.

MM69 didn't chime in either.  But that list doesn't look nearly as lobsided as you claimed the board to be.

Probably not the best thread to debate someone on an issue as it can derail the purpose of the thread.  Feel free to call someone out on a political point and my guess it the issue will most likely be successfully debated.

You mean the scientific poll at the start of this thread?  Oh I'm convinced.     What's the big deal anyway?  I think the board tilts left, but so what?  Some might think it tilts right.  Some might think it's right down the middle.  Big deal.  Doesn't bother me.  Certainly not anything I'm losing any sleep over.

1.  You need a scientific poll to reveal the way board members say they lean    

2.  You ask, "what's the big deal?"  I don't know, you're the one that always pops up with how left leaning the forum is... If there's a big deal, you've been the one making it, not me.

3.  You think the board "tilts" left?  As a matter of a fact you've gone a lot farther than "tilts"   I believe you phrased it more like, "liberals dominate this board"

4. I'm glad it's not a big deal, I would think it should not be, but understand, the accusation for those on the receiving end seems like tool/weapon used against them. If it's not a big deal, I do wonder, why it gets brought up so often... I hope most of the board participates in the poll.  I'm truly interested in seeing how things are stacked simply because there have been so many accusations that the board leans extremely left.

[OzmO]

I really don't see what the BIG deal is.

What does it matter who's dominating the forum? 

Nothing is stopping anyone from posting stuff. 

I think certain political figures are just too ripe for the picking on!   Who's fault is that?

Oh good grief.  Stop making a federal case out of this.

1.  I didn't say I need a scientific poll.     According to the "poll," there is one liberal regular posting on this board.  That should tell you how reliable the "poll" is.  Meaningless. 

2.  Quit making stuff up.  I don't always bring this up.  I have chimed in with my opinion a few times in response to someone else bringing it up.  And which one of us has created a thread on this issue?  (That would be you.)

3.  Oh brother.  Semantics.  Tilt, sway, lean, teeter, who the heck cares?  "Liberals dominate this board."  There.  I said it again.  Happy?   

4.  It's not a big deal to me, but it's obviously a big deal to you.

It gets brought up a lot by several people.  If you haven't knowticed, I'm not the one that made the federal case, have you been reading the board?  All the time people are saying the board leans to left.  Added together is has been a big deal.  If you haven't noticed, I've been defending the board from the accusation all over the place over the last month.  Forgive me for seeing a thread pop up that shows the place is hardly as lefty stacked that the righties on the board have been claiming it is.

Yes I read the board, although I don't read every thread, or every post in every thread.

You don't need to "defend the board."  No one is attacking the board, or you.  At least I'm not.  I don't know if you've noticed, but even though we have had our differences, I have never complained about the way this board is moderated.  I think you're taking this stuff too seriously.  You shouldn't view comments about whether the board is liberal, conservative, etc. as an attack on the way the board is being run (or you personally).

I'm not speaking for Berserker, but from my perspective, when I see the amount of bombs lobbed at Berserker lately, it's hard for him not to see these nonsense "complaints" as attacks against him, the board, and how he does his job.

You're not speaking for Berserker you're just speaking for Berserker.     I haven't noticed.  Nor do I care.  This is not a pay site.  Maybe everyone needs to view it like I do (as a source of entertainment).  Anyone who doesn't like it can leave.  Not a big deal.  But this is horse is about dead.

Well, you must be fargin blind to have not spoted the fact that righties have levied the accustion all over.  I think you're just all blown out of shape that the results didn't show the place to be a liberal circle jerk.


Yea sure, whatever your highness says, the dead horse is beaten... after a month plus of people yelling liberal bias in the forum, Beach says STFU when a poll shows there is no overwhelming liberal leaning and actually reveals a wide dispertion of various political makeups...  But by all means, people, stop beating the dead horse, hopefully Beach also means that for statements about the forum being to liberal too because yea, it is a dead horse and it has been beaten into the ground.
