Right? Left! Left? Right!

[Richard Cribb]

So I said what I said using a weird font, but what in it isn't true?

No.

Note that I did not say that any one of leftists or rightists weren't correct. Maybe one or the other is correct in its claims. The point is that each often seems to take the positions I stated! And surely such a comment is relevant to the topic!

No.
We did this many pages ago. Not everything in the world is relative, nobody here is Humpty Dumpty, not everybody except you are unenlightened or paranoic.
A comment like that, given that in had been presented in a proper form, would have been relevant. It wasn't though.
Alos, this thread already have one American man-child, that's more than enough.

So what are the definitions of these non-relative terms, right and left? And how do you know these definitions are the correct ones and all others are incorrect?

Been awhile since somebody studied philosophy?

If I say "Person P says "murder is right" and Person Q says "murder is wrong"", my so saying does NOT imply any sort of relativism!!! Relativism would only follow if I added "and both P and Q are speaking truthfully". In my post, I did NOT say that both leftists and rightists were correct in their pronouncements about the other side. I just highlighted some parallelism that I, at least, have seen. Feel free to accuse me of living on another planet if you want to discount what I say, but it seems to me to be true enough.

The point of my post was perfectly plausible and picking on the pattern of its prose is petty, pointless, and prognosticates a peculiarly poor playfulness property on your part.

Just to address this shortly before I hit the sack:

Been awhile since somebody studied philosophy?

No. Been a while since I studied English. That and being on medication accounts for doubtful interpretations. Apologize for that. Will look for better word. Tomorrow. Perhaps.

You are mixing threads now. This is not about Serbia.
And yes I am discounting it.

It is plausible when you explain it but not more convincing and should have been presented in a humbler way.
Also, please don't let me have to repeat this again and again; I got absolutely no sense of humour.

Not everything in the world is relative, true. But how do we strike the truth into people's hearts? Or do most people deserve truth? I say if people like to stay in the shell of false, let them, it's their loss ultimately.

Why does it need to be humble?

Because I say so.

That's not a very humble response.

So what, just because you started the discussion doesn't make you the thread God.

Wow. I guess that there's more leftist things here, so I guess you're rightist, but then again, there's a lot of rightist things so...

He's one of those folks who thinks he's an independent who is somehow above the fray.

I can't find that other political quiz, not the compass one, the one Rich posted, linky please!

 

[Huayna Capac357]

What's it called?

 

[West 36]

That's the problem, otherwise I'd have searched for it!

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Poo. Can you describe it?

 

[West 36]

I took it a while ago but he posted it again in this thread, I'm pretty sure. I think the results showed your stance on a left-right bar of certain points, and then gave you a 'party' that best lined up with your beliefs. The actual questions were like most political tests. There was also a forum for it all...

 

[Huayna Capac357]

You're an Angry White Male™. The correct option for you to vote is "Rightist".

 

[West 36]

No, don't worry about it though, I'm sure it'll come up.
