Three pages later, this thread almost deserves to be in NatDT... for all the wrong reasons.

Conservative - a person upholding traditional moral and religious values, opposing government-sponsored welfare, having a resistance to unhealthy change and an intolerance for immorality.

Fixed.

More like broken!

More like two people who disagree each describing their own beliefs in more positive terms than their opposition. Here, let me try.

Conservatives: Small government, individual liberty.
Liberals: Big government, collective equality.

And incidentally, present-day Republican party: Too big-governmenty for conservatives, too mean for liberals.

CrossEyed7's definition is perfect.

Also, I don't think Chupperson is either democrat or republican. From what I can gather, he's a conspiracy theorist and distrustful of all forms of government.

Am I right, Chup, or am I terribly wrong?

I'm going to go ahead and say that you're almost completely wrong.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #51 on:** May 18, 2009, 11:54:12 AM »

How so? Here's a bit of evidence that allowed me to come to my conclusion...

PaperLuigi, I don't think you're paranoid enough.

No, the american government media is much more interested in cultivating a race of pliable couch potatoes. Thus they do as much as possible to make you sit in front of your TV getting fat with diabetes, distracted enough by non-news drivel not to notice.

Some people have brought up the idea that it was artificially created. Also, pharmaceutical companies stand to make a killing from the drugs they're shipping out all over the place because of it. Said drugs aren't sufficiently tested and potentially deadly. Government shouldn't be able to mandate vaccinations, etc. because we end up with the previous "swine flu" situation from the '70s where they started giving mandatory vaccinations and the vaccine killed people. I was going to say that Turtlekid may be onto something (but I retract that with his latest post), although I would substitute "media" for government, but then again the media that is promoting swine flu as a pandemic is all government-fueled anyway.
It's pretty funny though how we get a new not-really-pandemic every few years that just kind of dematerializes. Also I agree with the people who declare "swine flu" a misnomer because it isn't actually the same virus.

Knowing what's really going on doesn't make you a conspiracy theorist.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #53 on:** May 18, 2009, 12:05:58 PM »

So...I'm guessing he's a libertarian or something? Just a wild guess.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #54 on:** May 18, 2009, 12:22:23 PM »

Actually, I'm a human.

I read PaperLuigi's post as accusing Chup of being a librarian.

Rao · « **Reply #56 on:** May 18, 2009, 12:27:47 PM »

What we need in this world are less labels and stereotypes.
I think this post may be grammatically flawed, if so, please tell me.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #57 on:** May 18, 2009, 12:28:58 PM »

Fair enough, my mistake.

Glorb · « **Reply #58 on:** May 18, 2009, 03:04:32 PM »

FEWER not LESS aaargh

And this thread has become basically a clone of "What We Don't Need in This World."

If the world needs less of something, take your pessimism over to that thread.

Also, the area of "conspiracy theroies" is probably one of the only ones I would agree with Chupperson in.
