I'm not ashamed too say I've moved my way of thinking from left to center in the last 10 years. I'd even go as far as to say some of this change has been in part due to discussion on this very forum.

same here...gerry, bear and some others got to me.

Same for me.
I'm Still having fun poking at some of the things I still feel they lean far right on.
But I bet they are changing just the same.

Well. Maybe not Gerry lol

Can't change much when your whole beliefs system is set in stone

I just wanted to see you in your underwear.

Nope. I'm still sitting further left than most of the leftards on this forum.

Your left out of need to survive. Everything in life is prospective to how you live.

In your shoes I'd be far left too

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

I live right, out of a need to survive. My ideology is communalist.

No your wrong. Life is already far right naturally.
So you chose left as a community because it gives you better chance at survival.

LMAO!!!

I love being told how I live, by someone that doesn't even know me, lol.

There is no real community, people are indivdualistic.

I blame self help books and day time talk shows.

Good. I'm happy I could clear that up for you to understand.

Where the community works together as a whole, for the betterment of the whole community.

Kind of like communism, but it actually worked for my peeps for thousands of years before contact.

Think it'd be possible to have that today? Its sounds wonderful.

It doesn't work today cause we don't live in dirt huts.
We don't die if we aren't a close community. They do it out of need to survive.

Like I said, things are perspective too the way you live. We adapt to survive.

I don't think it's possible anymore.

You'd have to change the collective mindset of the better part of the globe.

Whenever it's been approached by a large group in contemporary history, it has become corrupt and oppresive.

It doesn't work today cause we don't live in dirt huts.
They didn't live in dirt huts when they managed to create it (And a participatory democracy) over 2000 years ago.

If life was hard and many died we would automatically all revert back to this natural communalism.
Right now we are too buzzy dominating this world.
