Should conservatism be illegal?

The Ignore List is really making this forum a more peaceful place.

The only people who are proud of ignoring contrasting ideas are small children.

NSG often is this forum's rough and rowdy kindergarten, so your statement makes all kinds of sense.

The RP forums are worse. What are you talking about?

[Normandium]

We get to make all kinds of potions n' shit.

I wanna transform into a frog.

Or, hell, let me turn shit into gold. I'd be able to gild all my stuff and look so rich without needing that expensive plating process.

Don't forget Magic class, where you learn how to summon things, cast spells, control your Mana, etc.

Damn, now I'm disappointed by my school. I had an art teacher in middle school who killed my love of drawing.

So, is this why you hold such stupid positions born of total ignorance? Because every time someone explains to you that a scientific theory is different from a layman's theory or how Creationism has no evidence while Evolution has a ton you go "LALALALALALALA CANT HERE YOU"?

[Agymnum]

You too? My class had idiots who thought we literally evolved from gorillas and pestered me as to why gorillas don't transform into humans right before our eyes.

Like this is fucking Beauty and the Beast or some shit. Unbelievable.

I actually managed to convince somebody in my class that didn't believe the theory of evolution that it was true. Felt pretty good.

I convinced quite a few people in both biology class (evolutionary theory) and English class (atheism). Never got a following in democratic socialism, though my teacher was a maniac leftist (to the point where he almost got fired for talking shit about the US during AP US history class).

Is the above picture really suggesting that Alchemy doesn't work? Seems like I'm going to have sell of all that lead I bought then ...

But in the RP forums you can use your ignore cannon and be like LALALALAL DON'T HEAR YOU!

NSG doesn't work that way. It's more raw, more brutal, more uncut.

Sort of like Green Berets vs Full Metal Jacket

In Mexico, a vicious anti-Catholic persecution took place. Since then the country has been plagued with crime and disorder.

So you're telling me that Plutarco Elías Calles, a president in the mid 1920s, is still responsible for Mexico's situation today?

Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina (just to list a few Latin American countries) underwent a Liberal revolution, then suffered from oppressive governments, bandits, and economic decline. After Garcia Moreno was assassinated in Ecuador, disorder and economic decline plagued the country and it never became a major power again.

Source on Argentina, please. I'm not seeing the Liberal revolution, and I'm not seeing any Christianity-related woes.

Maybe he's got a note from the doctor excusing him from those classes.

Nidaria is a conservative American. Which mean that anything not reactionary or regressive, is liberal.

Hell, if your country is not an absolute monarchy whose powers are derived from God, your country is a liberal hellhole.

Coolidge and Hoover are clearly still responsible for the US today, right?

It's not like Roosevelt came in and, you know, changed shit, right?

Never bothered people trying to convince people to abandon their religion (I couldn't care less what you believe if you don't use it as grounds to harm or discriminate against others) or adopt my political ideology (just because political discussions inevitably get heated and I much prefer a calm debate). Evolution, on the other hand, I'll gladly try to convince people of.

Is that how it works? But what if your liberal hellhole also is a monarchy, as is the case with many European countries?

Conservatism does more evil than good in society and government. Conservatism is ultimately the main reason that the United States is perhaps one the least developed and most socially backward first countries. Conservatism is the reason the U.S. economy is in a recession and dragged so many other economies down with it and it is the reason that the U.S. is lags behind so many other countries in regards to women's rights, secular rights, and lgbt rights. Conservatism is also the reason that the U.S. is the only first world country without universal healthcare. True patriotism is wanting what is best for your country and the fact is that conservatism is the main reason that the United States is a failure compared to most other first world countries. After World War 2 Germany passed laws that were aimed at destroying National Socialism to prevent it from rising again. Should this be done against Conservatism in the United States? If the Republican Party was banned then the United States would see a lot of economic and social progress so it would be for the greater good in my opinion.

Only if you prohibit Liberalism first, and especially first.

[Microsol]

No, that is a complete violation of freedom of speech, a purportedly liberal policy.

Those are conservative hell-holes. His utopia is 1950's America-style.

He'd be surprised to know that Argentina grants the Catholic Church preference amongst other religions in Article 2 of our Constitution.

We're masters of hypocritical compromise!

Yeah, but they worship a different religion, so they're bad. *nods*

But they're not absolute monarchies.

Ah, back when minorities and women knew their place and the white Anglo-Saxon Protestant male was the undisputed master of his domain. For some reason that specific status quo didn't even survive its own mythical decade.

Definition 1, 2B, and possibly 2A.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism

Definition of SOCIALISM


1

: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods


2

a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property

b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state

3

: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

So basically it isn't socialist.

What It fits the definition.
