I have yet to come across a liberal who can actually debate. I think the reason this is so is because most liberals do not have a core set of values.Vegas » Today, 12:36 pm » wrote: ↑ Trying to debate a liberal, especially one like BV, is like trying to play chess with a pigeon - it’ll just knock over the pieces, poop on the board, and strut around like it won.
If I were a liberal and wanted to engage in honest debate, I would first define my core set of values. It would be something like this:
- I favor collectivism over individualism - this means that, as a nation, all citizens must have the same culture and core understanding of what is important (note, this is inconsistent with open immigration)
- While I believe in reward based on merit, I do not believe that should translate to a dollar-for-dollar pay-off for those more capable than others.
- Society must have a "safety net" for people who cannot survive or thrive on their own. The safety net should be set at............(some defined amount)
- I favor reward over punishment. This means I do not believe in penalizing any criminal with incarcerations greater than 5 years. And, we should put a lot of resources in rehabilitating those who break our laws.
- I favor some totalitarian laws over freedom. This means that as a nation, recreational drug use can't be tolerated. Speech must be regulated. Lethal defense of self cannot be permitted.
- Rape and murder are just other crimes, for which punishment cannot exceed 5 years. Also, like England, once criminals complete their punnishment, they will be given new identities and jobs which will allow them to survive and start over.
