Heh. Snuck mine in before yours.

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Another problem is that it's rather subjective. What's considered center-right here in Belgium is probably extreme left in 'Merica.

You make a point, since centre right here still has eyes for immigration, social welfare and are even taking steps to get the governments nose out of the companies (like abolishing the 309% fines).

^Well that's the sort of thing where it's important whether you mean economically right or socially right - it's very characteristic for an economically right government to want to get its nose out of companies

This thread has little to do with Josh or game release, you should have seen us in the IRC, talked politics and religion and money and all the big nonos for hours and it stayed civil. keep Josh and the release date out of it and most threads should be fine here... It's like the Twilight zone version of the Internet.

Challenging your assumptions is good for your health, good for your business, and good for your future. Stay skeptical but never undervalue the importance of a new and unfamiliar perspective.

I guess I should trust the LT community more. This is the first thread I've seen on the internet that covers those things and didn't devolve into something worse.

This thread is pretty active.

I'm "neutral". Some of my values are commonly held by conservatives, and some of my values are commonly held by democrats. I follow whoever seems to make the most sense, and whoever I get the better feeling about.
