but they sure fold like madmen 
Not exactly our type of crowd? That is a huge understatement. Their site/forums is of a totally different tone than this place. I was going to sign up at their forums (until I noticed their 9.95 reg fee) to welcome them to the threat list and dug around a little more. Then I began noticing all the left-wing stuff on the website and then noticed the links to well known left wing sites. The icing on the cake was the banner ad for their store at the top that said "50% of profits go to moveon.org". Ack. I'd better run ad-aware/spybot/primes' special cocktails after visiting that place. But they are folding like mad. And they have a LOT of people registered on their forums which means they are tapping a huge army of left-wingers. Oh boy.It's the SomethingAwful.com forum goons... Not exactly our type of crowd

One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.

You have an enormous amount of common sense, you respect individual property rights, you are a successful entrepreneur, and you are not known to wear a tinfoil hat. Some left winger.well, i'm a left winger, but oh well
but I agree that the BEOTCHES NEED TO GO DOWN
Except for (perhaps) the buddhist part, you just described Teddy Roosevelt!Well i'm a treehugging, anti-corporate, buddhist peace-and-love type

I registered over there for the 9.85 fee. I kept getting made fun of by all the people there. They always had nasty things to say about whatever I posted. I sent like 20 e-mails asking for my money back, and then I got banned for harassment.It's the SomethingAwful.com forum goons... Not exactly our type of crowd
Short-Media is free, and we don't tolerate harassment. We will nag you to Fold, though.I registered over there for the 9.85 fee. I kept getting made fun of by all the people there.

some group!
(But only occasionally) 
Although I had a rough few weeks over there, they are very sarcastic. The MoveOn.org thing was a joke. The site actually raised $20,000 for a fellow member going into Iraq. They were not getting kevlar vests, and the site owners had a fundraiser to get them for his unit.The icing on the cake was the banner ad for their store at the top that said "50% of profits go to moveon.org".

We shouldn't always be too quick to judge a book by its cover.
If it were going toward Folding I might ease up some on my dislike of "big" government.Probably some Democrats leaked a memo to techy liberals and some Gov. computers got hijacked.
Funny you should mention it. That's pretty much how I ended up here.I'm thinking someone tricked them into thinking they were following a porn link...
What a fascinatingly ludicrous implication. I can see only two ways to interpret what you're saying: 1) thought which is antithetical to your own is so threatening that you are literally repulsed by it (without the possibility of giving it any rational consideration or response), or 2), that one of the identifying traits of "the liberals" is their desire to spy on you, invade your personal liberties, and/or monitor your thoughts and actions.I began noticing all the left-wing stuff on the website and then noticed the links to well known left wing sites....

We make allowances for exceptional performance.well, i'm a left winger, but oh well

Odd; I thought that it was the conservatives who championed the Patriot Act and Patriot II, not the liberals....
Oh, but don't listen to me (not that I need to give you permission), I'm just another one of those frustratingly open-minded liberals who believes in civil liberties, freedom from an oppressive government bent on widening the gulf between the haves and the have-nots in a vicious self-perpetuating, self-interested circle, and equality for all people, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.
