Liberals, Conservatives and the notion of Karma

[LORDZEDD]

Whatever you want to call it the article is a very good explanation of what 'conservatives' see as fair.

Can I ask you what your definition of conservative is?

Nice Dwight quote, the problems the United States right now is suffering in regards to Iran is actually his fault. It was ironic of him to say that because of how easy he was manipulated by the British.

A better description would be attempting to raise demand in a manner that is far-sighted rather than short-sighted, if you really wanted to discuss how the liberals saw their position, rather than caricature it.

Take a breath or two. All I said is how I see the conservatives seeing things, ya know? If you think you can do a better job than Mr. Hicks, then by all means take the stage. Endlessly adding hit points is pretty senseless, but apparently it gets you off.

In a thread originally about how conservatives see themselves and how liberals see themselves, I respoded to a post about how conservatives see liberals with a post about how liberals see themselves. There was no breathlessness involved, no hit points added, no geting off by anyone. Just a return to the topic at hand.

my apologies my friend for straying away from how this thread was going, you are correct in this regard.

if that show was a running bit on limbaugh i bet many of you would find it revolting and talk about how racist hte right is

Actually I don't watch outsourced precisely for this reason.

I watched a chunk of the pilot, realized all the "jokes" required an Indian accent or revolved around curry and promptly quit.

I would say in the three episodes since then, the non-Indians (two Americans, one Australian) have been protrayed less sympathetically and more stereotypically overall than the Indians.

along these lines brad hicks (who is often insightful, even if he is a disturbed individual) has too really good articles explaining conservatives to liberals and vice versa

...Puritans were a deeply pleasure-phobic culture, firmly committed to restricting and avoiding pleasure. They were also fully convinced of the redeeming power of gainful employment, and not just any employment, but hard work. And along the way, they found out something that any Greek hoplite of the 4th century BCE could have told them: working hard and not spending any money is how you get rich. What makes this embarrassing to Puritans is that getting rich means that you no longer have to work hard or avoid pleasure. Puritanism contains the seeds of its own destruction...

liberal economics explained to conservatives

...But what if you took 100% of the income of the poorest people in America, set that as the baseline for taxation, and charged everybody that much? It wouldn't come to anywhere near enough to pay for even the minimum basic services. So somebody's going to have to pay more, or else we have to choose to let society crumble. And to some extent, in America, we have chosen to let society crumble rather than collect enough taxes to pay for these things, as even a casual drive past a rural or inner city school will show you...

....

thanks for that TIS, do you have a link for the second article?

though I would argue that, at least in Chicago, the school buildings, for the most part, are in pretty good shape, esp. some of the older, classic structures - - it's what happens inside those buildings that's troubling.

and I don't know enough about the particulars of the educational systems in Europe or Asia to know if the inner city schools in other countries share some of the same issues as our schools...
