Making fun of us liberals is perfectly fine - works well both ways and a good joke is pretty much always worth it. Yet, with all due respect, I personally find abortion a very serious topic and therefore a tricky subject for making public fun.

Yes, it is a very serious subject. However, the strangeness of the comments were funny.

I’ve noticed this kind of perverted and retarded logic from many people here. This. has. got. to. stop.

By definition, a liberal is someone who is open to new behavior or opinions in spite of traditional values or beliefs. A conservative on the other hand holds to traditional values/beliefs regardless of new information. Therefore, according to these definitions if a self proclaimed liberal is not open minded to new information and is not willing to change their opinions then they can’t be a liberal. In truth, they actually fit the conservative mold. You’re making fun of your own kind.

Congratulations, you’ve just been mind fucked.[/quote]

How am I making fun of my own kind? This retarded girl says there is no evidence of life or no life, and you say that she is being open minded. It is a known fact that a the heart starts beating between 4-6 weeks. She says a doctor says 24. If you are ok with killing babies that’s on you, but a baby is not just a bunch of cells that theese libs claim. These are the same people who call the millitary murdurers.[/quote]

No. You misunderstood me, I was commenting on your last sentence, not about abortion or anything like that. I’ve noticed a tendency from people here to call liberals ignorant. By definition, that is an oxymoron. People who call themselves liberals may be ignorant, but a true liberal by definition is someone who is open to new opinions or information. You see, there is no list of liberal beliefs that they all subscribe too, the principle of liberalism is not a doctrine but is actually a mind set. Therefore the pro choicer’s you made fun of aren’t actually liberals, but if that’s true what are they? Well, by definition the conservative mind set is one which holds to traditional values and opinions regardless. The woman in the video was holding to her own set of traditional beliefs about abortion in spite of contradictory evidence. Her traditional beliefs may be different than than the ones you’re used to, but so what? Like it or not that makes her more of a conservative than you ever would have guessed.

it goes to show you have idiots on both sides

I have to say that this is but one of the reasons that you’ve always had my respect. That and you are one smart son of gun.

I love you too, ZEB. In a very platonic way of course. :wink:

This just went virally gay. :p[/quote]

That can’t happen without forlife being here.

At least you got the point of the video, I am sure if I had the will power to listen to the entire debate I would have heard retarded things said by the other side.

You are trying way too hard to be clever. The common usage of the word liberal here has nothing to do with open mindedness.

I bet you were the sorry bastard whining “But gay means happy people! Happy!” or perhaps if you are a younger progressive “But gay refers to homosexuals! Using gay to mean bad = bigoted!”.

Word meanings change between cultures, and over time. There are also multiple meanings and uses of many words.

“regardless”? Source please? This is not the common word usage anywhere I have lived, nor is it a dictionary definition.

In the same way as many Islamic fundies are conservative. I.e. in a way that is completely foreign to current usage and context.

ummm, what? My posts have flown way over your head as well. I’m not trying to insinuate that the classic definitions I have provided are in common use, I am telling you that these are the actual definitions of the terms and that people misunderstand or misuse them. Yeah chief, the words liberal or conservative in modern use refer to a particular doctrine of beliefs pertaining to social and political issues, but the true meaning of these words do not define any doctrine, they define a mental attitude and mind set. Like you so foolishly mentioned, in another country the term conservative would imply a completely different set of beliefs than the conservative ones here. If this is true, than the definition you have provided is utterly inferior to the one I have provided jackass.

This concept of what actually distinguishes the conservative and liberal mind sets is not new. Actually, my father wrote his thesis on it at Dartmouth. I’m sorry if you don’t get it, but I do.

Regardless:

despite the given circumstances. (I.e. Conservatives hold to traditional values despite the given circumstances of a modern world.)

Next time, use a dictionary other than google.
