    Coat size

    With an overcoat, do you want your chest size, or do you want it a bit bigger for a suit your wearing under it? The coat I've been wearing was given to me, and I don't know the size, but I know it fits. So I just wanted to know before I buy another one. :fedora:

    Liberal Media Conspiracy DEBUNKED!

    I'm glad someone else has become aware of this. I haven't looked much into endorsements, but I have read and heard of many stories of reporters getting "hints" that if they don't report certain things, in certain ways, they might not have a job. Bill Moyers did a good report on this in the '80s...

    an interesting quiz

    Ideally we would be the government, and would escape that problem. Ideally. :rolleyes: I agree the school system is a place to start. Need to avoid indoctrination and instead work to allow children to grow up with the capability to think and decide for themselves.

    an interesting quiz

    Hatter, that's pretty spot on! You brought up a lot to think about, but I'm inclined to agree with you. Property doesn't seem to be the quintessential right it used to be. Also that the goverment isn't able to handle a more socialized policy yet. As much as I see it complementing our democracy...

    an interesting quiz

    You got me there, hehe. Socialism can never work without democracy, similar to communism. We might disagree that it even works then, but I'm sure there aren't any fans of totalitarian socialism here, and that's really what we were fighting in WWII.

    Gingrich in '08?

    I apologize for not clarifying that remark about education. What I meant was uneducated about the issues, like not being fully acquainted with the issue of abortion and those other ones I mentioned, and I didn't mean to imply formal education or something like that. Anyone can educate themselves...

    an interesting quiz

    Actually, Hitler was a Fascist. It is another system entirely from Capitalism (a transitional step toward free market) and socialism (a communal economic system that, unlike communism, usually allows people to own their own land.)

    an interesting quiz

    Take the http://www.politicalcompass.org one! It's about three pages, but doesn't take long, and rather in depth. I think it will have a more accurate description for you.

    Gingrich in '08?

    I get what Ted means, though. Modern democrats aren't the democrats that FDR belonged to, but the Republican party that Eisenhower did. The reason for this, I think, are those common sense democrats Fisk mentioned. In my opinion, "common sense" democrats are just uneducated ones, that think...

    an interesting quiz

    Libertarian is actually just social issues, so a conservative libertarian would be someone who is socially liberal, fiscally conservative. What I find interesting about these tests is that it makes people think about what they believe in (though usually people take these and don't evaluate...

    an interesting quiz

    Came out liberal. Thing is, it's fairly limited a quiz to lable a person with. http://www.politicalcompass.org/ I find that one very interesting. You can also compare with historical figures! I'm further left than Gandhi! :cool2:

    Gingrich in '08?

    I just don't think people need compromise their views from some obligation to vote one way or the other. (Which is why I love instant runoff voting.) I'm actually not a registered democrat. I'm still registered republican from when I was 18 and asked my dad what I should register as, hehe...

    Gingrich in '08?

    Yeah, yeah, I know it failed. It was the spirit that I liked. Actually the problems we have with campaign finances will take a long time to fix, and I doubt they ever will, because the best solutions are always getting shot down as unconstitutional. (Whether they are or not is a topic for...

    Gingrich in '08?

    It's true, so many people have a preconceived image of Gingrich. Probably from when he was the Speaker and was all over Clinton; though I don't hold that against him, because I think it is part of the job. (Though, no doubt, he took this pretty far not just for the sake of the position.) What I...

    For my Noir Friends in San Fran...

    I'll definitely have to try to make it. There have been a lot of great things going on in the city, I have to make at least one event! And this time I got the bus schedule memorized. :rolleyes:

    An example of why Liberals are hurting.

    Both parties are going to either go through a lot of changes in the next few years, or split down the middle. The GOP is almost two parties already, with the Fiscal conservatives, and the social conservatives, and at some point there is going to be a tug of war between who gets the reins. The NY...

    An example of why Liberals are hurting.

    You're quite right. I didn't mean to imply that all that matters in a job or career is money, because I generally don't believe that. What I was trying to get at, I might not have been clear, is that the idea that anyone can make it as high up on the economic latter as they want through hard...

    An example of why Liberals are hurting.

    I understand why race comes into the topic. As you said, minorities have the ability to make it as well, like people from certain Asian countries that have done well. But in a capitalist economy, it takes many people to not succeed, for the few to, and that's my problem with it. I'm sure you...
