Barack Obama just called me.

[araby]

(Zan) your posts are usually alright with me but this isn't even playing the devil's advocate. It's more like, "You like Ron Paul and gave me your reasons so I'm gonna assume you think the opposite of the other candidates." Now that's a silly post.

I never said that because Ron Paul was a good role model Obama wasn't. I never said Obama hasn't raised his family to be independent beings. Again, you made that contrast.

I like them both very much, and would be equally happy with either of them as president. Why? It's due to a very simple reason - I'm on one side of the fence or the other in almost every issue. Basically, I'm split literally in half with my beliefs. This is what I detest about party affiliation - I don't think I should have to side with one or the other, because I don't fully agree with either side. This is the same with just about everything in my life, I'm just not a one or the other person.. generally for me the good lies somewhere in between with a compromise of both sides.

This is a great point, and a problem many people have with our current two party system.

Both sides essentially align themselves with a wide variety of groups and often times those groups are at odds.

It'd be nice if we had viable additional parties and options. More choice is generally a good thing.

I think having additional parties would also help to nullify the far wings of each political party and allow for better legislation and more common ground for the average person who certainly has many issues, regardless of which party they vote for.

That's not what I'm saying at all, Araby. You're twisting everything around.

Diekan is voting for Ron Paul on the single and only reason that he thinks parent's suck. Answer this simple question. How is Ron Paul a better role model than the other candidates? If he is, let's hear why?

[araby]

haha...nice edit. I'm picking a fight. I hope you can feel it cause I'm smiling as hard as I can.

[Zanchief]

Araby, Zan is pretty much a troll in all the Current Affairs forums, and subtly attacks anyone who doesn't agree with his ideology. Heck, half the time he attacks people like Ever and Tik who are 80% in his corner, so I'd take what he says with a grain of salt.

Where are these corners? That's exactly why you have a fucked up way of seeing the world. Everything is about corners and parties. You read an article you read what you want to see. You're just about the least objective person I've ever had the displeasure of speaking with.

If you're not going to add to me and Araby's discussion, demonstrate a little maturity for once and piss off.

haha, I'm twisting. you're getting funnier by the minute today!

I just read the posts all over again. You're screwed.

Lyion I think you're right and I've not been affiliated with a party, ever. I've voted every election since I was 18 and have voted different ways. My votes were based on the issues and what was important to me at the time. Being a 31 year old who works, without insurance, who rents and wants a family one day has a lot to do with what I care about in a candidate. What I cared about as a 21 year old single mom, living in socialized housing and going to school, was different then. I voted differently. What I care about has changed, I've gotten older. Views are changing. Even the way people define the words "left and right" have changed. I think it's important to properly identify the terms with their definitions. Too many people throw the terms around, usually initiating negative responses, a lot of times, misusing the words. Causing important opinions and points to get lost.

Because those couldn't be mutually exclusive points, now, could they?

Sadly, with you everything is always the other person. Unfortunately, when people across the political spectrum call you a baiting troll, the problem is you.

Because the topic at hand is absolutely irrelavent. What matters is that you guys beat Zan!

Zan may be what he may be, but both of you are hypocrites for your last few posts. Honestly, I'll admit, Zan does poke and prod at you guys and will stand on a side that he might not even have a strong opinion of just to do that, but seriously, if you have a strong point to make, you need people like him to make an example of. He does it just to get under your skin is what you guys say. You're right, but the only reason he gets under your skin is because he challenges you guys and provokes thought every time. He will stand on 1 side regardless of his own opinion just to see what you are really thinking, and the fact that you (and by you i mean everyone who "hates" Zan) are so bothered by it is because a) he provokes thought, and making you think more than your daily allotment really pisses you off b) You don't really have a strong opinion and the fact that he challenges the weak infrastructure of your formed opinion bothers you c) you're not used to anyone going against popular opinion and since you're just on the bandwagon you don't really have anything to say. So, enjoy the fact that you "beat" Zanchief. Hooray retards.

What pisses people off is that he does this not to provoke thought, he does it to cause shit.

So you posted that as a knock on me or because your feeble mind can't comprehend anything short of your own sheltered opinion? Maybe I should change the conversation to something about puppies or cake and maybe you'll get it.

And Ever, regardless of why, the fact of the matter is, you still have to have some ammo in order to respond to his stuff. Personally, any thread where yall are trying to convince something to Zan makes for a good read. Yeah, he's devil's advocate on every issue but like I said, we need that type of person to make sure everyone's opinions are legit and not "Dur, cuz stone cold sed so"

Now, the extreme defense of black people thing, I don't really get that but hey =P

[Harrison]

Lol why don't you two just fuck and get it over with now?

[Jay]

Which 2? Me and Araby? Me and Zan? Me and Ever?

Oh and why don't you correct the STD that your parents produced by killing yourself?

No, I posted it because that's all it was worth. A post. So ridiculous of you to say most of what you did in that post. Why didn't you just say, "hey zan let me suck your cock" cause that what it sounded like. Zancheif knows I don't care about who wins-my humor went over your head. I don't think it was cool that you called us hypocrites. If we agree with Diekan, and you agree with Zan, then okay. You're poking the snake, adding nothing of relevance and instead more stupid insults.

[araby]

and by the way, I really like Zan. I think I'm the one who pointed out in this thread that he's devil's advocate a lot of the time and I enjoy his posts. *blows bangs out of eyes*
