What Extremist Views Do You Admit To Having?

Orwell said:
I think I have extremist views regarding religion and spirituality: the best way to get me interminably rant is to bring up the subject of church/state separation, the abuses of faith, New Agey bunkum or religious cults. I refuse to shake hands with priests, and I can't talk with very religious or "spiritual" people without somehow eventually mocking them... :o

Also, I don't like automobiles... In fact, I think I hate them with a passion. I think they're generally ugly, smelly and unnecessary at least half of the time. All those single drivers stuck in traffic make me fume with rage. I like spitting on luxury vehicles, making fun of old guys in red sports cars, flipping the bird at SUVs and generally being a nuisance to drivers.

I'm not entirelly sure that would be wise....

BTW. I'll join the war is fun, and pro-euthanasia extremists.
 
"Left" and "right" are terms maliciously used to confine ideas and force a false sense of balance among the ever-festering masses. As if Coke or Pepsi are "reasonable" options, while "my-money-belongs-to-me" is something radical. Way to frame the issue....

As of today, for example, "center" and "fringe" would be more accurate language to describe American politics, of course replacing "Right" and Left" respectively.

And yet, there is no single issue that I particularly care about. None. My opinions are generally INTJ-derived, and I wouldn't care to debate any person who isn't so inclined to this mode of living. (Superficially, I am so far right that I have more in common with my leftist enemies than I do with any mainstream party.)

Analysis and developing doctrine are far more interesting than petty political wins, all of which are temporary. Like life.
 
I believe people who have extremists views should be put to death immediately.




No, wait......:eek:

I've not seen so much foaming at the mouths since Dawn of the Dead.

I don't know how many of the forum's members actually qualify as "true sceptics"...
 
Id remove party designations from all govt ballots/publications.

You should vote for a person you like, not a party.

What if you care more about a certain position on a political issue than about individual candidates?

What does a Feminazi, Environmental Extremist, or Moral Majority Whack-Job care about any given individual?

Well that was a GIVEN :D
I just didn't want to write that with homeland security and all that ;)


My suggestion would apply to the new crop.

What is "INTJ-derived"

Similarly, no government office or service should make any effort to accomodate foreign languages when dealing with its own citizens; no forms in foreign languages, no translators provided, nothing.

(Unless we're talking about braille for blind people, sign language for deaf people or the like.)

And what about countries like Switzerland, with FOUR national languages? (German, French, Italian and Reto-Romanic)
Is everybody supposed to be fluent in all four languages?




That said, my own extremist view:

In my not-so-humble opinion, ANY form of religion that goes beyond what a persons thinks and does by himself (with no-one else involved) should be illegal. Religion has been a breeding gorund for hatred, intolerance and bigotry, and caused untold death and suffering - there is no reason to let it continue to do so.

In my even-less-humble opinion, nationalism and patriotism - indeed all forms of national identity - should be abolished. Like religion, they have been the cause of untold evil.


And what is unusual about me? I am German, but I am neither a Nazi nor a warmonger. :D And I can´t stand Sauerkraut. :(
 
I'm opposed to the existance of the nation state.

I don't accept that so called rights have any logical basis

I believe some kind of an intelligence test must be given to anyone planning to run for the Presidency. You cannot run for President if you can't show:

1. A College level understanding of Economics

2. A High school level of History (Foreign and Domestic)

3. A High school level knowledge of Biology

4. A Basic understanding of the Scientific Method

5. The Ability to separate Fact from Fiction (I know that this one might be asking too much)



I'll probably think of some more later, but you get the idea. Also, the test cannot be administered by the Kansas Board of Education!

I'm trying to think of a president in the past 40 years who would pass all these. Most, except Reagan, can't even get past #1.

Personally I think it's nonsensical to have more than one official language. They should pick one and go with it.

Failing that, I'd say you should have to be fluent in at least one.

Yeah, well...I wasn't gonna mention that other thread. ;) Did you like my suggestion in that thread, BTW? I'm sure it would work!

I thought I had responded to that, but I guess not. There were a lot of replies.

I think it would be more effective if followed by the sentence:

"I told them to tell me when they were going to..."

(on second thought, let's not go there:p )

It's perfectly sensible in a country that. historically, has large numbers of those speakers--otherwise, you create an imbalance that favors one linguistic group over another. (Which leads to economic disparity, bigotry, supression of "non-official" languages, etc.)

Which is why I'm opposed to "official languagism."

Not arguing against your point (in this thread :) ) but I just wanted to note that if they got a tribunal it's not a summary execution.

Noted...'sides I wouldn't want to try to defend that position hence it's in this thread.... :D ....extremist views sure are fun to espouse! Maybe that's why there are so many friggin' extremists??

That are these peoples´ native languages, Seismosaurus. They already spoke different languages when their state were combined into one country.

BTW, I don´t know how that problem is solved in Switzerland; however I have noticed that Swiss postage stamps have Latin writing - usually no more than "Helvetia" (Switzerland). IIRC (it´s been a long time since I was there) the coins also carry Latin inscriptions, but the notes are written in all four languages.
 
Well, I consider myself pretty liberal and a bit leftist at times. Nevertheless:

1) I am for the individual interpretation of the Second Amendment big-time.

2) I like to go to Disneyworld.

3) I don't think that Muslims qua Muslims are angelic superhuman creatures who never go to the toilet and whose farts smell like cinnamon buns.
