Thread: Century of the Self Documentary

I am glad that you respect my views on something at least, Croc (i.e. languages).
But I maintain that politics is a subjective thing and it's almost impossible to say who is right or wrong. There are so many factors that play in.

For example, the politics that would "work" in one smaller European country for example, might be completely useless in a very big country, like Russia or the USA. That way, I could be right in what I am saying, and a Russian or American person could also be right at the same time.

And you can quote Lenin as much as you want; I think it's interesting (I hardly know anything about him), and I remember that you have already written that he had many worthwhile things to say. I am aware of your philosophy that all comments should be supported by sources or facts. Was just teasing you!

I believe that it is not that subjective. It's well revealed in the tax policies. Who's getting the free lunch, and who's getting the short end. Very clear cut. And the taxation policies are in line with the bulk of other types of policies.

Ahh... with this, you have skewered your credibility. And on your own sword.

I was stressing the point of HOW the views are being obtained and/or defended. To say the political views are being subjective is just another cool way to dodge the answer. You mentioned earlier you hate politicians who lie. But, if you insist all political views are subjective, there can't be any lies, right? So what if the US says there were WMD in Iraq and it turned out there weren't. It's all subjective. Their subjective view that stood behind the invasion was that there WERE WMDs in Iraq, so why were you blaming them of telling a lie? The State Deparement THINKS there should be democracy and freedom in Libya and the Libyans want the democracy. So, why are you upset? You think Libyans won't get more freedom? It's all subjective, so they will. More US bases overseas (especially in Europe) is just another cool thing. That would protect the freedom. Just in case. It's all subjective. Do you see my point?
