    OK, please explain why you can't be a knee-jerk liberal.

    And based on the rules of these boards and the repeated warnings you've received from the mods my guess is that you'll have to start providing links if you want to remain a member of this forum.

    By the very nature of the thing, a (small "l") liberal is one who doesn't hold strong views, so how can you have knee jerk liberal?

    If you're going to reference supposed real-life events, especially if you're seeking to be controversial, then it's up to you to provide supporting evidence. If not, then you'll just have to accept that people won't take you seriously.

    Proud to say I've never bought a copy of the Daily Malice in my life. Nor am I about to start buying it - there are far cheaper and softer brands out there that come on nice handy cardboard tubes. ;)

    A liberal can hold strong views. Any disposition or outlook can fall prey to knee-jerkism, it's a human fault.

    The second the do so, they cease to be liberal. Just as someone with "right wing" views who drops them in the face of evidence ceases to be "right wing" as soon as they drop the ideas.

    In exactly the same way that as soon as someone stops swimming they cease to be a swimmer. You should buy that book you recommended Bl;agsta earlier.

    If he is banned for not posting links when Blagsta can get away with telling 99% of right wingers to "fuck off you prick" and not be banned then it will show the mods up for what they are.

    For the record I love the mail, I never read my breakfast without it as its the only paper that is unashamedly right wing and doesnt back out of telling the truth without the fear of being branded racist by the loony left.

    God bless the Mail. ;)

    definition of a liberal is on there

    I dont believe having strong views implies you are intolerant of new ideas.

    Go on then, I've got the time ;) - define liberal.

    I meant something like this fromturnerlearning, although I was using it (just a little) as a derogatory term.
    Today, an individual who generally believes in the power of an activist federal government to resolve society's many domestic problems, protect the interests of the poor, and improve the lives of individual citizens through specific governmental programs.

    Many liberals have strong views about welfare, poverty alleviation, government intervention and so on, and can be knee-jerk in their response to counter arguments.

    Does it make you feel warm inside knowing that other people in the world harbour the same inadequacies, hatred, stereotypes, homophobia and quiet racism as you do?

    Isn't it funny how people with "certain" views always pat each other's backs in a rather wanky fashion?

    "You speak the truth so-and-so, I'm glad someone on this board is showing common sense". And so on.

    It's so funny... :D

    As soon as they find one another there's no real need to question why they think the way they think. They've just found an ally who won't ask awkward questions or ask them to dress up their bigoted views as anything else other than what they are.

    Well said Tommo100. Lets stand up for the millions of normal decent folk in this country who start their day off reading Britains favourite paper, the Daily Mail.
    There are too many left-wing Guardian-reading sado's on this forum who are out to denigrate this fine paper.
    My breakfast wouldn't be the same without it.
    Many on here can throw personal abuse without any retribution, its about time a sense of balance came into play.

    It always brings a smile to my lips as to how quickly the left-wingers on this forum "circle the waggons" as soon as they feel threatened by any opposition to their rather clapped-out tired views.

    Are we the Indians to your Frontiers-men? I'd like to think we are, after all we've got moral right on our side, you've simply got a morass of stinking rotten socialist "anything-goes" theories which have lead this once-fine country into the evil pit of debauchery and sin.

    What on earth does that has to do with anything?

    Without going in depth about the history of that paper (but please feel free to ask if you want :rolleyes: ) the Daily Mail has been conducting a racist/xenophobic campaign against certain groups, races and nationalities. Namely gypsies, Roma and Eastern European asylum seekers.

    What can I say tommo? You even have people from the BNP claiming they're not racist. It's for everyone to judge whether someone is racist/xenophobic or not, based on their words and actions.

    Then why dont you let people do that then instead of trying to do it for everyone yourself and arguing back whenever someone gives you a different opinion regarding the Mail.

    Ill be honest your "Daily "hate" Mail" stuff which appears is so many of your posts is more boring than a spanish bullfight. :o

    Oh but I do! I'm simply responding to those who argue the Mail is not racist or xenophobic, just as I would respond to anyone who said the Nazi party wasn't racist.

    If people didn't deny the obvious I wouldn't have to state it.

    Do you want me to remind you of the proud record of the Daily Mail regarding Jews, the Blackshirts, the Nazis or the fascists in Spain, to name but four?

    The Daily Mail= racist piece of shit. The only difference is who the target is nowadays.
