Liberals and Conservatives Reference Chart

[Tails Turrosaki]

LIberals and conservatives are always at each other's throats from what I observe.

Frankly, I don't understand, and I don't consider myself either. I just like change and improvement, not tradition.

So, if you would mind stating whether you're liberal or conservative, and saying why you are so, and politely debate your stances, then this thread will go just fine. Refer to the attachment.

GODDAMMIT.

Is there a bigger version of the chart, you can't read all the words?

EDIT: Note to self: click on picture.

Well, obviously you don't have to tick every box on that chart, but I can see I agree with the red side more. (and it is red, btw, americans, why must you always be difficult?)

The American right are bananas. On the one hand they want smaller government, economic freedom and individual liberty, and on the other hand they want everyone to follow traditional values, not allow gays to get married and force religion upon people. Talk about your complete contradictions.

Not to mention the fact that they use "liberal" as a scare word even though, they are themselves, classical liberalists.

Now, now, don't stereotype. Most Americans I know are pro-gay.

I want Pokemon healthcare (for those who play Pokemon (nobody), you'll get it), socialism+capitalism mixture, a government with secular people, and all religious law abolished.

[Trolldor]

Neither.

I quite like change as much as I like tradition, it depends on the circumstances. What are we protecting and what are we changing?

[Psi Wavefunction]

The wording seems a little biased to me; and word choice is quite influential in these things.

Personally, I refuse to join either side, and prefer to go by my own little delusions rather than someone else's

[Chinaski]

Almost everything on the left seems better.

They had me at "community based on ethics" as opposed to "morals".

I thought this was going to be about the UK post-election talks.

So, you're saying you're right wing?

Wait... so you want the staff to say "I hope to see you again soon." after being treated for a life-threatening injury?

I'm a rational anarchist. Where does that fit on your chart?
