An old friend's girlfriend's parents had one. I borrowed it. I don't remember returning it. I'm pretty sure I don't still have it. But it's a possibility.

Do you want me to say that I'd come clean as a conservative if you were more accommodating to that belief? Because if so then my answer would still be no because I'm not a conservative lol. I don't base my political ideology on what those around me think. That would be a foolish thing to do.

If there was a MusicBanter in a separate universe where members like you, Batlord and elph leaned to the right, I'd still be a libertarian.

In short, your beliefs/acceptance of beliefs does not change my beliefs or ideologies. That would be silly.

I imagine you looking down a whole within an enormous pile of books and locking eyes with this at the very bottom.

All we're saying is that libertarians are either weird crackpots or phony republicans.

I think my favorite Michael Savage story is when he was relating taking a boat out past the Golden Gate Bridge and apparently he hit rough seas and it was crazy and he almost lost his life but he was too hardcore and safely brought himself back to the dock. It was so epic that even if I'd never heard of him before I'd be convinced he was completely insane.

Well I'd consider myself a strange fellow but not a republican, phony or otherwise. I'm sorry to disappoint you.

I'm saying that my will to challenge people's ideas and call them out is not an accommodating trait, even if I thought that I was an accomodating guy.

First rule of skepticism: you have to be more critical of your own thoughts than what people tell you (not that you shouldn't also approach that with skepticism). My perception doesn't change your beliefs but you assuring me that your beliefs are not what you've demonstrated won't change my perception. Does that make sense? Demonstration>dictation.

I always interpreted your posts as lets not ignore the pieces of **** on this side in spite of the other side.

You kinda came off as a conservative based on the imbalance of criticism but I'm not willing to jump to conclusions because you've never said anything that seemed to be supportive of republicans.

A lot of people here like to jump to conclusions and attach labels or stereotypes on people based on the slightest hint that you could be this or that.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
