What's Your Tolerance For Listening To Objectionable People?

[the wizard]

... lately i've been trying to increase my tolerance for listening to and reading material that i don

[Blue Frost]

I can feel anger all I want for some, but I usually just try to read where they are coming from.
usually with the liberal side I see intolerance for other ideas unless their own then it's great.
I always try though to see the other view even if distasteful.

Wizard, I'm getting the same way whenever I see the news, I watch at my mum's as I can't watch a TV at mine, especially the BBC news... most of it makes me gag now, same as you... it's the political stuff. They said a few weeks back that unemployment had dropped a lot, the biggest drop in 10 years. Yeah right.

[Blue Frost]

The news here was saying we are having a jobless recovery hows that work anyhow.

Just so you know TT, North American politicians are full of shit too.

[Blue Frost]

Very, maybe more than others.

[Shen Li]

Yep, I am increasingly repulsed by liberal democracy. Giving people with no skin in the game the vote is tantamount to anarchy.

[Blue Frost]

Well most isn't even liberals, I'm sick of them, and fake Conservatives.

People who are not stakeholders in the nation's economic well being should NOT get to decide who will be the stewards of other people's money. Just plain wrong!

[Blue Frost]

i agree, and the ones who do should be liable for losses.

Hi Shen, I know... just from what Frosty's said before. They're prolly worse than ours, there's a lot more money swashing around your side of the pond.

So true TT. I hope you have a healthy and prosperous new year.

[Twilight turtle]

Happy new year to you too Shen. It's Chinese NY soon isn't it? I thought late Jan/early Feb, not sure.

[Blue Frost]

31st this month year of the horse I believe.

[Twilight turtle]

31st, argh.

... as far as the prehistoric dinosaur news media's concerned, they've basically committed suicide the way they're blindly marching behind the government the way they are. they're traitors who've impaled themselves on their own sword. they're just too big, too slow and too dumb to either change or catch up to the zeitgeist of our times ...

[Blue Frost]

But we get a cute horse twilight

Hi Wizard, I basically agree with that comment.
Zeitgeist i'm not sure, but a group of cons running us in the ground I do think so

[the wizard]

... the zeitgeist movement worldwide right now is totally anti-government all the way. why? because everyone knows the current crop in office are a bunch of evil authoritarian pigs who want to take away all of our freedoms and subjugate us into utter conformity ...

[Blue Frost]

The thing is though the people are so ignorent they vote in people like Obama that is totally for what your speaking of.
He is a pan socialist wanting everyone under the UNs thumb, and the people who make money to share with the ones who do not.
