Which are you?

[seeker007nmss]

Okay, with all these political threads, just where does everyone place themselves?

[Mad4stevie]

Moderate, with a slight lean to the right. Or, a conservative with an open mind! :laugh:

[wondergirl9847]

I am a human being with a brain that I am able to use. :)

[seeker007nmss]

sorry, didn't get the poll up fast enough. oops.

[amber]

Can't you just tell? Except, of course, for the people who don't respond, and Strand... :laugh:

Damn I got a good laugh from your options! :laugh: I'm such a loudmouth I think y'all know where I stand.

[ryan8472]

I said I was So left wing, I brake for ants on the freeway , because it sounds like something I would definitely do. :p :nod:

[DrummerDeanna]

I put that I lean moslty to the left.

I don't dislike Republicans and I actually respect many of their views - we're mostly talking old REpubs...I am NOT a fan of the neo-cons out there who are so crazy right it's scary.

I think a big problem in the world today is a lack of moderates...being radical on either side is just a bad thing IMO.

I picked the one above that, because I hate bugs (although i appreciate that we have bugs, and realize their importance in the scheme of things) but love trees and animals. :) My thing would say..."I would rather hug an animal than a republican - hell, I'd rather hug an animal than anyone! (except my super sexy boyfriend).

Same here. Do you have a super sexy boyfriend?

No, but in the event that I should acquire one, let the record show.... :lol:

I thought the same thing. :o :D

Step off, Ryan. Do you have a super sexy bf??? :lol:

[estranged4life]

on most political opinions...Though I lean to that left a tad bit as of late (Dont call me a libe...Oops, cut that one short...)....

Could use one of my Mother's famous sayings; "I stay on the fence so I can equally flip the birds to both sides since they both are generally full of s**t"

[ryan8472]

Step off, Ryan. Do you have a super sexy bf??? :lol:
No, but I've got a lot of hot guy-friends. :laugh:

[SuzeQuze]

No, but I've got a lot of hot guy-friends. :laugh:

Nice. I almost had a super sexy BF but he moved to Oregon. :shrug: :rolleyes:

[tynan88]

I place myself at the centre, because although I generally lean to the left in my policies I consider myself very open minded and willing to listen to the opinions of others with the possibility of changing my opinion.

[irishgrl]

I am a true child of the 60's the only TRUE political revolution I know of.

I am a tree hugging, Clinton Loving, Bush HATING :mad: crusader for women and children's rights.
Thats about it in a nutshell.

[catinthedark]

Anyone got a home for these ants I saved today?


How could I be anything but? I'm Canadian. :nod: :laugh:

[ryan8472]

Nice. I almost had a super sexy BF but he moved to Oregon. :shrug: :rolleyes:
It always happens that way, doesnt it? :p

Really tho, if a certain two of my friends would just admit they were gay and get it over, I'd have a lot of options. :laugh:

[Johnny Stew]

I chose "So left wing, I brake for ants on the freeway."
(I'm the guy who crawls around on his hands and knees in the middle of the night, to catch a cricket in a plastic cup and let it outside.
I also do the same with spiders and various other creepy-crawlers.
I even save wasps whenever possible.)

I'm just one big ol' peace-lovin,' living creature-savin' hippie. :laugh:

yeah..uh...mine went away to college....
:laugh:
*sorry about that, seriously, mine went away to college, so I feel your pain.*

er...I also live in the gay capital of the world...and the asian girl capital...and the nerdy tech boy capital....and the unionized strippers capital (Lust Lady, unionized strippers) :confused: :laugh:
naw, it's fine, i have stuff... :D

[catinthedark]

Only if they bring good presents.

:lol: That is do-able! :D

[amber]

Spiders kill other bugs, so I like them okay. They are actually probably my favorite bug.
Bugs I hate:
Wasps, Hornets, Yellow Jackets, Meat Bees, Pincher bugs (hate!), roaches (don't see too many), Moths, Flies, Ants (not too bad an ant problem, here), Crickets (a creepy problem in my hometown, but not so much here) ...
Weird green stick bugs, or praying mantises, freak me out.... :shocked: they seems so... conscious...plus their legs and torsos cover too much area for me to be comfortable....
uh...any bug that jumps, or flies (which is why spiders are good in my book)...
Okay, I think my bugphobia is well documented now... :wavey:

[GarboSpeaks!]

You know I don't really know where I stand. I have some very strong opinions, but have never thought to join the game of wingnuts, pick a side and vote for a moron. I have no complaints cause I never have, nor will I probably ever vote. Anyone who dares tear me a new one for that, can KMA in advance. Again, you'll NEVER hear me whine and complain about the way things are, and when I start, then ya'll can say, "well maybe if you'd vote..... ;) ."
But if I charted all my opinions, I do wonder what side of the fence I'd be on.

I don't mind bugs...as long as they stay where they are suppose to be. I don't like them in my house. I would much rather find an otter in my tub than a spider. :wavey:

[seeker007nmss]

Hey Suze, I was wondering... Did they use your sig pic on Comedy Central yet? I know there was a thread but I am too lazy to find it. :p

Der.
Who wouldn't like an otter? They'r so playful and cute! (although probably ill suited to live in your bathtub).
Plus, Otter is the animal that I am. ( you know, all or most people resemble animals).

Have to check it out on the repeat tonight. :wavey:

wait, though, sesly - are you a "stop for bugs" person, or a "hug the tree rather than the person" person?
I suspect the former. :woohoo:

AHHHHH! That's my favorite! Otters are soo cute! they play, they make up water slide games!
Also, with my wide nose, and cutie face, and smaller mouth, and big eyes, I look just like them while I'm in the water...Sesly, I could post a pic.... :laugh:

Ahh...Seeker...thank you so much for posting that. I haven't seen an otter pic in a long time, and it soothed my weary soul. :xoxo: Otters = Divinity.
Okay, just one: Here's me as the Otter I truly am. If I could play in the water for my life, I would. :cool: *yes, yes, I am shameless, and post too many pics, whatevs.*

hmmm. Okay, this is a hard one for me...
What about Environmentalism V. Immigration and population growth? :shrug:
How do you stand on that? I am extremely liberal, but when it comes to population growth, I am...other. And in theory, I have no ideological problem with immigration. But in practice, it leads to expotential population growth.

I also feel I must clarify another point, which is that California has some of the most spectacular wildlife, especially with our massive coast, and massive old growth forests and redwoods (some of the last left in the world), and massive amounts of streams and rivers, (water allocation is very important. I'm always pissed that the powers that be decided to build massive cities in desert lands, and pump water from up here to sustain it unnaturally - with ill advised damning - decimating fish and other wildlife populations. *El Lay and Vegas* )

and massive amounts of foothills and mountains (which can, and do, host an astounding array of wildlife). Foothills especially host tons of wildlife in a short space. California is RIFE with foothills.
Also we have Wetlands, of course. We also have some of the richest farmland, from the bottom of the state to the top - in the central valley and on the coasts - it's no accident we are the fifth weathiest economic entity in the world.
I could go on and on. But of course, conversely, everyone wants to live in Ca, and we are host to...almost unprecedented immigration, from Mexico and the Asian countries...

It's very complex, and you know I love to be liberal, but in this case I have a harder time -

Assuming you know a lot about all the factors "We" face in CA, what are your thoughts about these things???
:wavey:

Honestly, i will submit that I am so liberal, that I take the wholistic (environmentally sustainable for all life forms) view over the people centered view. No bones, no apoligies, and with scientific evidence in my pocket. I'm sure I know more about the nitty gritty of these issues than most people, but still....

[Moony]

I love my guns and suppressing people who are different from myself

go GOP!

Dude - awesomely glib, clever, right on, and apropos. However, i urge you to read the post by me right before yours. Only if you want deeper insight, though. :laugh: :cool:

[BombaySapphire3]

I've had a couple of friends that have tried to talk me into being more moderate but I can't help it my heart has always been on the left..BTW they pretty much shut up when they finally realized I had been right about the Iraq war from the start . :nod:

:) I read it, and I agree with ya about the problems of the population explosion here. In my own town, which <i>was</i> primarily a quiet, farmland encompassed place, they are building houses on every possible open field and space. There are SO MANY friggin people now, it gets on my last nerve.

[Miss Vicky]

I lean mostly to the left.

However, I am not fond of either major political party and am registered independent.

Which is one of those instances where you wish you weren't right. :distress:

I got in a big fight with my roommate over that, she was saying we needed a "foothold" in the middle east. Obviously she has no idea what she was talking about. I literally pushed her out of my face, just a sweep of my right arm, she's light. She shut up. I couldn't take it. We can't talk politics or else one of us is going to get hurt.

I'm very left but I do take other views into consideration even though it leads to uncontrollable vomitting afterward. :laugh:

[Merf]

I voted "I'd rather hug a tree than a republican" which is literally not true (some of my best friends are republicans) but it gets the point across. ;)
