This site has the greatest group of reasonable people left and right that I have seen in a long time. so much so that I have found myself here far more than I intended.


thanks for the fun.

You went to the Democratic Underground?
They are just as whacko as
The free republic

Of course, I had to go there because that is where the loony left hangs out, those are the leftist counterparts to FOX and the echo chamber. I got kicked out because of my stand on the 2nd amendment. They couldn't comprehend that with the bill of rights it is all or nothing. I finally accused them of not really being liberal - it got their collective goats.

Have to agree, very diverse here.

It's too bad you still think in terms of only right and left.

Theres a reason stoners hang on stoner sites bro. Everybody else is jus to radical, to tightly wound up. Maybe some of those far-right/leftists, should become a part of the stoner clan, then maybe they could see things as they are. We all have our own opinions on how we want to live. we all take issue when someone tells us we cant do as we wish. I dont begrudge a person for their fucked up views, until they start imposing those ideas as mandatory for my existence.

Opinions are not mentioned in the Constitution.

I never said they were, all tho, the entire document is based on someones opinion. it doesnt matter that its supported by anyone else. the hundreds of laws passed every year are based on opinion. If thats not an imposition to your free will, then what would be?

granted, I accept some of those opinions as valid, and necessary to being free, and maybe even to help in the pursuit of happiness. however, they are not all good ideas. Just goes to show, you cant MAKE everybody happy all the time.
