[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] UM: [i]But wouldn't legal allowance for Gay marriages recognize them as people? And doesn't that = bad with some books, and some other old stuff?[/i] No books I've been reading. Seriously, you guys get the strangest ideas about the Bible. (I assume that was what you were refering to.) Perhaps you should read it some time. Tom: [i]For starters, everyone has a different idea of what "bigger government" means.[/i] Bigger in this context is best defined as more intrusive into your personal life, be it by restricting your activities, or simply by reducing your income, and thus options, with higher taxes. [i]We can then point out that some of them to the extreme Left are communists[/i] Technically, Communists would be extreme right, since the philosophy favors no government at all. It's basically a dreamers anarchy. You define Hitler as being CONSERVATIVE? He was a frikin' DICTATOR, for cryin' out loud! That's as left as you get! Well, short of the Borg Collective, or 1984... [i]Where do you put the Libertarians?[/i] WAY right. [i]Or the Anarchists?[/i] Extreme right. Another advantage of using my definitions, aside from the fact that they're the ones people use anyway, is that they simplify things so much. Every possible political philosophy can be fit into the scale somewhere. It also helps to codify them in a very simple manner. Then you can't have people saying, "Oh, he's racist, and therefore conservative!" in contravention of any and all evidence. Of course, I've been through this with Daryus multiple times. I am fully aware that these definitions only apply in the US, because we're the only ones that mean these things when we use the words. But we ARE talking about US politics in this thread, are we not? [/QB][/QUOTE]
