However, that wasn't the point and that's why I specifically stated behavior. If you have forgotten, the quote in question in *this* thread (because this same discussion is in another thread) is below

That is untrue, by definition. A person who is conservative resists change, by definition. A person who is liberal (or progressive) is more positive toward change, by definition.

Perhaps you have a flashcard that might help you with this.

That is a general broad statement, hence the word "most". My counter is that you can replace "conservatives" with "liberals" and the statement would be equally as accurate.

Not really. As a generalization, conservatives favor the status quo while liberals favor change, that's why liberals are called progressives.

Just look at some major political positions. Liberals want to change the status of gay marriage, conservatives want to keep it the same. Liberals want to radically alter health care to a more universal system, conservatives want want small improvements to the existing private system. Liberals would banning guns, while conservatives want us to keep having them. Liberals want to get rid of the death penalty while conservatives want it to remain.

The in the few situations where the situation is reversed, it's usually around an issue that has recently been altered. For example, abortion is legal and liberals want it to remain so while conservatives want that to change. However legalized abortion is a recent development. Conservatives want to change it back. The same for states where gay marriage is already legal. Conservatives favor change there, but they favor changing it back to how it was before.

The very word conservative means to be predisposed to existing conditions and cautious of change.

Of course conservatives and liberals have different views on subjects, but their behavior in lying, deceiving, smear ads, avoiding the question, etc are common in both parties,
#2507Almalieque, Posted: Mar 07 2012 at 10:03 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Read above. Perhaps common sense and comprehension might help with you this.

Jesus fuck, you're acting like it's some sort of revelation that people like being more certain of winning.

Just when I think Alma can't get any more stupid, he goes and proves me wrong.
#2510Almalieque, Posted: Mar 07 2012 at 12:51 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Haven't we gone over this already? At this point, if you haven't already thought the worst, you're only making yourself look silly saying the same thing over and over.

After a few threads and or posts, I've already categorized everyone in levels of logic. I already expect certain posts from certain people. For you to continuously be blown away only means you are constantly failing at categorizing me. My level of responses have not changed, \

I know! It's probably not an actual or even electronic list though. It's probably just a mental list... a mental Alma list.

Don't ask why the Peanut-Butter Banana Sandwich is forth on Alma's Mental List of the Asylum Posters Usual Responses.

- I feel like Alma is being likened to me.
- I had to work through a year of ******* tests to get that Aspergers label goddamnit!
- If Alma is autistic he can't really help much of his problems and I couldn't blame him for them, I'd rather just call him an idiot.
- I can't say I like seeing autism used as an insult.


Also, not all autistic people make lists of everything.

Aspergers? Man, I think they may have misdiagnosed you. It appears that you just have a severe case of the homosh*tforbrains.
