Do you consider yourself a Lefty or Righty

Poll Question

Or that the majority of people who responded to the poll self-identify as leftists. Thus, American Democrats may consider themselves to be "leftist," but are such only in the ******** context of our political climate. Most of them are, in the big picture of things, right of center.

Maybe the true centre is the American one? :P
 
Nope!

The true centre was the one of the meeting of the estates general in France in 1789.

France? Hngghh they're soshullist, right? I ain't no commie.
 
Nope!
 
And your view isn't America-centric?

You make it sound like it's offensive to suggest, how come?

The rest of the world disagrees, especilly in Europe and those scholaring in the social science.

I disagree. I'm sure in Burmese politics the centre ground and right-wing dichotomy is similarily unpalatable in both Europe and America. The world isn't just North America and Europe ya know.

I thought the true centre is somewhere in the Atlantic:P

I know the world is not just Europe and America. I was pointing out that the world is not just America.

We must keep to the social scientific centre model in observation or we are at risk of classing incorrectly.
 
The actual point is that "center" is a term relative to current politics and therefore also depends on the country one is talking about.

But Socialism isn't. It doesn't matter how much to the right you move your center, it won't make Europe socialist.

But still Americans act as if you have to accumulate 100 left wing points and then automatically evolve to left wing level 2: Socialist.
 
Poland is over the center line between space, infinity, and Boston cream pie. Cross that line with a spoon and gallon sized container of ice cream at your own risk.

It's not offensive, but it is rather funny to see someone suggest that another person is Europe-centric while simultaneously suggesting an American-centric view and not noticing the irony.

I dunno, maybe it's only funny to me.
 
I think that when they calculated the true centre of all the land mass in the world, it was some close to Jerusalem.

And I'm sure you didn't just say that from pre-held belief.

What if you factor in Atlantis?
 
:huh: I can practically guarantee you that the center of mass of the Earth... hell, even just the center of mass of the Earth's crust is not Jerusalem or any other point on the surface. The center of mass is going to be close to the center.
