How far right are you?

Bleh.  Irish is one of the least sexy accents out there.

Disagree.

Sounds too rough and unsophisticated.  Same goes for women with Scottish accents, I guess.  Now a good English accent (well most of them anyway)--- Daddy like.

You know what happens when those with power and wealth ignore the common yokels right?



That's right. We get mowed down by their invincible army of combat robots.

In all seriousness the problem is technological change and its influence on the structure of economies. I don't know what the answer is but things will be pretty messy until we figure it out.

Hint: it's communism.

i tend to interpret the law conservatively and often agree with conservative SCOTUS justices, but i consider myself liberal.

Depends what type of Irish and what type of Scottish IMO.
Glasgow- no. Edinburgh- yes.

[derspiess]

I don't live close enough to bother differentiating.

Berkut, I take exception with your notion of "taking wealth."

When I make an IRA contribution, I'm not "taking wealth."  When that contribution earns a return I'm not "taking wealth."

I don't really care what you call it, that is semantics. Call it whatever you like, the process by which the ultra-rich are consolidating more and more of the wealth and political power into their hands is a problem no matter what you call it.

[Admiral Yi]

It's no more semantics than the terms "my money" and "your money" are semantics.

French chicks have the sexiest accents. 

[Valmy]

French chicks have the sexiest accents. 

They rejected me enough times it now gives me a kind of PTSD

Oh Sophie what we could have been.

[Josquius]

French chicks have the sexiest accents. 

But French guys have the most punchable accents.

Italians however. Both are great

The whole Stalin/Hitler fallacy comes from a failure to understand that there are three large political ideologies, not two - liberalism, collectivism and conservatism. Both Stalin and Hilter were collectivist (although Hitler also used elements of conservatism). Both were equidistant from liberalism.

[Razgovory]

I don't think Hitler was collectivist.  He wasn't abolishing private property.  Hitler didn't seem have much opinion on economics one way or another.  The topic bored him.  All he cared about was destroying his enemies.

[Valmy]

Fascism and Nazism were bizarre ideologies that strapped together so many different things, neither was particularly coherent.

But Hitler was collectivist.  He, or at least his supporters believed, in a nation being of one will that everybody is aligned with. Abolishing private property might seem like a logical next step with that kind of idea but, as I said, do not expect too much coherence from Nazi ideas.

What do you mean by conservatism?  Like class privilege, monarchy, church, etc?
