  • I wouldn’t consider myself far right. But the few family members that I still attempt to talk to its help to realize that in their eyes(even if it isn’t the truth) their overall quality of life has decreased while people they disagree with have seen an increase in overall QoL. Now, a non-emotional look at that situation doesn’t suggest that one causes the other, but they perceive it that way. I believe that one of the first things that need to be done is showing/convincing them that just because those they don’t like are enjoying some time in the sun, it isn’t the cause of their current bad time.

    Another, perhaps harder to accomplish, things that needs to happen for the mid to far right to come back to the table is realizing that holding on to traditions does not mean reverting to the past. As an example, I believe family units are the backbone of our society and are important to the development of the next generation. I do not care if the parents are heterosexual or homosexual or something else as long as they love their children, raise them to be cognisant of the laws and social contracts we have, and treat them well.

    At the end of the day, right or left, as long as we are all trying to get to a place where our fellow countrymen are safe, happy, and able to provide for themselves I don’t mind if we bicker about which road to take to get there. And I’ll always back good faith compromise over either side getting its way unopposed.







  • I guess I’m the odd one out then. I’m a huge Sci-Fi fan. Ender’s Game still stands as my favorite book after all these years. But I’m not too crazy about fantasy. I’ve bounced off of books, shows, and movies that my friends and family loved. They just seemed to be mediocre stories with fantasy paint on it and people who like Wizards were able to gloss over the holes.

    It’s not unheard of for people to not be interested in the other genre. But those people are outnumbered by consumers who just want the new thing.









  • First, I’m not religious. So I don’t have some sort of “moral” opposition to homosexuality. Follow laws, pay your taxes and have at the “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”.

    I’m sorry that a bunch of Christian radicals have soured your idea of a political thought process that valued personal freedoms and lowered governmental interference in its citizens lives. Marriage isn’t something the government should be involved in the first place. The government shouldn’t have a voice in whether or not people get divorced.

    Fiscal responsibility, lowered government involvement with citizens day-to-day lives, and a focus on supporting your own citizenry in your own infrastructure are not things that care about who you love, what gender you identify as, or what sort of religion or not you want to practice. These things were added after the fact.
