SKILMATIC said:Umm... your republican? Why? And what makes you think you are a republican?
Archon said:Tolerance would be a good start.
Archon said:Oh darn. What a sham. I don't feel obligated to answer to Mr. Skilmatic. He is not my master. Read my posts in their entirety..... get a chance to get to know me.... and you will find a true consertavtive who is partial to no one and only abides by the constitution of the United States of America. Not the new age approach you seem to favor. Dare I disagree with him and I am liberal.
You know there a lot of people out there who are not as liberal as you think. What exactly is the definition of conservative? I've said this before but I'll say it again. Any person who attempts to redefine the term conservative to fit their own political agenda is a neo-conservatve.... and that is exactly what Bush and all of his sycophanitc supporters, like you, are.
So, the question becomes... what makes YOU think that you are a true conservative?
Don't you have some homework to do?Kelzie said:Guys my age on the other hand, seem to have an opinion. They're just rarely correct.
Hoot said:This has got to be one of the dumbest polls I've ever seen in these forums. I seriously doubt the gray matter of anyone who bothered to vote?
Hoot said:Archon...maybe you don't give women an opportunity to express themselves? Maybe they feel bullied or intimidated by you?
Hoot said:Remember my mothers' old advice? "You'll learn more by listening then you will by talking."
Hoot said:The whole question smacks of sexual discrimination.
Hoot said:( Don't mind me...before I've had my first cup of coffee in the morning, I hate people, so don't take this too seriously...LOL...but sheesh...you make me feel sorry for your wife.)
JadeCrusade said:I love politics. But I wasn't too interested in it until I met my boyfriend two years ago, who's an international relations major. He had to take many classes on politics and would tell me what he learned in class. One of his favorite professors taught at the Army War College, he's super brilliant.
My mother always told me that it was rude to talk about politics, religion, etc. In some cases, it is; some people don't like to talk about politics because it's too personal.
I never post here because I have mild LD and it seems I never mean what I really meant or make good arguments through writing (or speech). :doh So I just read debates here and decide for myself what's "wrong" and what's "right".
Most of my classmates are braindead when it comes to politics. Certainly, "heterosexual women". I tried talking to one of my friends (She's 20, I think?) in science class about politics. She told me:
"I hate politics. I hate watching the news. I NEVER watch the news. It is so boring! I can't stand it!"
My younger sister, who's 18, feels the same way. My best friend does too. It's very upseting to me because I think it is our responsibility as citizens of this nation to know what the hell is going on.
I quote Ralph Nader: "Turn on to politics or it will turn on you"
Well, gee, thanks. While you are entitled to your own opinion perhaps you could explain to me the incomparable lack of involvement in online political debate by heterosexual females. This poll is based upon observation. Do you deny that the overwhelming majority of people debating here-in and sites like this are male?
SKILMATIC said:I think what that guy meant to say was who cares?
SKILMATIC said:No problem. I find most peoples posts can be summed up in a few words.
Btw, I do like going deep. :rofl
Hoot said:Perhaps it's the wording of the question?
Do any heterosexual women like political debate?
Hoot said:This isn't a logical question.
Hoot said:Of course some heterosexual women like political debate, and of course, some will not be interested, or simply don't have the time, or fail to see the point of expressing their opinions in forums like this?
Hoot said:The only possible answer to the above question is 'yes.'
Hoot said:Anyone who answered 'no' is lumping all hetero women into one group, a very dangerous, and yes, sexist thing to do.
Hoot said:It's like asking...
Do any women like to go shopping?
Hoot said:Yes, of course they do (like to go shopping), but I'm sure you could find some that don't care for the experience.
Hoot said:So, what's the point to a question like yours, Archon?
Hoot said:Perhaps you should've worded your question like this....
Why aren't more women involved in political debate?
Hoot said:Your use of the word "hetero' could lead one to believe there's a difference between homosexual and heteros regarding their like/dislike of debate...another dangerous assumption.
Hoot said:I didn't know it was possible to determine genetalia over the internet? Can you be certain who you're debating with? Perhaps that 'ol tough Marine, GYSGT...is actually a 12 year old girl? ( No offense Sarge...just making a point) Sorry Archon, but I still say that's one of the dumbest polls I've ever seen, and I still say it's a sexist question. If you don't realize this, it says more about you then it does me...no hard feelings, though.
Archon said:I've seen several women involved in political debate... most of them are leftist feminist who are more concerned about the prolifieration of homosexuality than anything else.

Speaking of shopping...I got new shoes today. First time in 6 months. It was quite an ordeal.
