Honestly - I think our politics are so far removed, that talking about this sanely would involve a hours of deprogramming on either of our parts.
My biggest problem with your point of view is that you're claiming superiority for our society, when the quality of a culture can't easily be measured.
It's equivalent of saying 'mine is the best, because it's mine'. I can't agree with it.
- xenophanes 16y agoI am not programmed with these views. I grew up in an environment heavily leaning the other way. Then I rethought things on my own initiative. I am open to discussion including lengthy discussion. HN is not a suitable place for that. Why don't we talk here: http://groups.google.com/group/rational-politics-list/ http://groups.google.com/group/rational-politics-list/ You can also read some of my philosophy if you like (if you think I am programmed by someone, please let me know who I've copied here! :) http://fallibleideas.com/ http://fallibleideas.com/
- lwhi 16y agoI'm not trying to say that you've been programmed by someone, or that you're being mindless. It's just that sometimes views are so strongly held that discussion is very drawn out - I was being a bit flippant. Thanks for the invite to the group. I will take you up on your offer, I'll also have a read through your site - it looks very interesting. EDIT: I should point out, if I had to choose a school of philosophy, it would be existentialism - we might be a bit like oil and water.
