Igor @ 17/10/2017 20:29 It's implying that those type of liberals have really short sighted and moral superior policy views. Where there is only one perspective, their morally right one, when issues tend to be more gray rather than black/white. This sounds like an extremist on either side no?

Yes. The difference is the large majority of extremists on one side don't know how to use computers.

I'm pretty liberal with my views, it just helps to see things from other perspectives m8
U just needs to be aware how they are making people in the middle/slightly right feel.
A lot of my best friends are pretty conservatives and they aren't hateful scum
You're being disingenuous by ignoring that there is a spectrum of political thought

My Grandma asked if wifi was a disease.

There are different perspectives, but only one truth.

Wouldn't a leftist be more to the left than a liberal (as they are more centre-left) or something?

If they are referring to democrats by saying liberals, then it's center-right.

I implore everyone here to take a few minutes out of their day to look at these photos from the wildfire devastation in the Bay Area/ Nor Cal

This is easily the greatest tragedy I've witnessed in this country since 9/11 and the federal government is doing absolutely nothing. It's appalling to say the least.

Agreed. If you have read the Depressing News Thread, vlady, DS, and I all have people close to us affected by these fires and it's devastating to see.

I didn't realize that, I'll take my future commentary over to the depressing need tgread.

It's so tragic, I have been following since the beginning just not really posting about it here. However I just found out that my sister's best friends dentists parents lost their house and it's just so sad when that kind of stuff happens to people you practically know.

I was literally almost in tears last night.Just tragic.

Yeah a girl I grew up with who lives up in Santa Rosa lost her apartment. My friend's aunt is expecting to lose her entire house. One of my best friends who lives up in Rohnert Park has been in and out of evacuation and glued to the news for the past week. Hasn't been able to relax at all. Her fiancé's parents' house is in Northern Santa Rosa so they've been evacuated and staying with her since the fires started.
