Miss the whole point about labelling, again?
the..
What. If. I called you.. Totally, d0oD?
Of course you aren't Christian (all n+1 varieties). You have so-stated. Nor do I imagine I 'know' what it means to you to be 'Jewish' - ethnicity? religious dogma? familial habit? All varieties of Jewish sects and their arguments interpreting the Torah?
{Sheesh} at least I Know I don't know that which you stand-for, fall-from - because of some bloody Label-attached. Only can I infer from what you write - where you might 'stand' on some topic.
It was an example of *why* the stupid labels fail, fer Moses' sake!
'Twas you who attached a few to moi. I read Ben's post re the different 'perceptions' and also categories of the 'right' - as a perfectly adequate exposition of why the labels are meaningless (without personal explanation). And I concur with Silverlock's assertion: none of us here! is 'typical' - in the vague sense that
we imagine that "most people" - 'mean' them [??] fuzzy.. fuzzy..
So why do you persist in assigning such? Is their uselessness not yet demonstrated adequately? Most here have been exposed to a 'liberal' education and -by now- surely possess some small agenda: of things in the US' founding Principles, which each deems worthy of fighting to "conserve" and things apparently needing re-form -- *all* the personal reasons for each POV will vary as much as does a Life lived in this milieu!
Left <--> Right labels are the most hopelessly useless in '04;
comparisons with "bomb throwing Anarchists" or "Nazi State Corporatists" as extreme polarities?
W.T.F. do such caricatures have to do with transmitting any useful information by or about any one of us 'here' - or for that matter, amidst the 300M?
(Despising Neoconmen and all who sail in Her, does not a Democrat-party affiliate make). Nor does ab=ba apply in human matters. As one who is Conservative (of the US Constitution) and deems that the present cabal has a quite different list it wants to substitute: then, Am I Not "a Conservative"? Is it "conservative" to wish to replace governmental control of the country with - control exercised by Corporate outright purchase of the 'peoples' representatives? Is opposing that actuality, then: 'left' or 'right' vis a vis The Constitution? Need another dozen examples?
QED - it's bloody language murder. {sheesh}
2Yes, I would be insulted if you call me "foulwell". Guess what, every time you utter "Christian" with no qualifications and explanations, it's exactly what happens (or would have been happening, weren't I Jewish). And then you wonder why people call you "Mr. Binary".
'Christians' self-identify regularly, completely without indication of the particular sub-set of selected material and interpretation, much of those choices being contradictory 'Beliefs' <--> to those of Other 'Christians' [!] cf. >THIS WHOLE CAMPAIGN<
Perhaps we need a new '04 Label re Evangelicals? /
Revelations facilitators? / Persons advocating a Fundamentalist Theocracy to replace the US Constitution?
(3 separate ones, or will one New Label suffice?)
These are, the numbers suggest: a significant voter bloc, so it is not absurd to assign a Party Name - so shall it be:
Republicans, Democrats, Apolcalypse-Nextians? or ____
When someone calls self a 'Christian', I tend to assign a very simple meaning: "OK, this one likely goes to a church of some kind". (And that too, is apt to be wrong, sometimes).
WTF do *you* think, "I am a *Christian* MEANS !?
Do you impute a whole list of things?
If you do..
* or a Jew?!
Mr. Binary, eh? Actually: hadn't wondered any such thing about "my perception" [and.. by Whom?]; but if you say so..
Have you nothing orthogonal to Black/White Yes/No - even whilst trying for a label about "a one's attitude towards 'binary thinking'"? ;-)
Is that meta-disinformation or What?
I Who Be,
Mr. AnalogueScrew Yes/No.
Edit typo.
