Let's find something we like about those on 'the other side' of the political fence.

Lefties, see if you can find something about a rightie that you like and vice versa for the righties.

I'll start the ball rolling.

I like it that Gizmo is always honest even though I don't like his politics.

I like that Cods and I can put politics aside and have a good chat even though we are politically like chalk and cheese.

I like that Longy opposes the death penalty.

i like it when the rightards log off.

I like that as much as i disagree with Double Plus Good, he doesn't get abusive with me.

Because you come across as a nice person Mothra. Like you said,  we definitely have some very differing ideas on things.... maybe.

I like the fact that although the idiot left has no idea about anything else they do realise that religion is a bunch of old shyte unlike the right who are right about everything else yet for some reason they still believe in idiotic sky fairy stories and noahs ark crapola.

I will say though that the idiot left, although atheist, does find the islamic religion particularly attractive, probably because it closely resembles communism, a system that the idiot left still holds near and dear.

Oh and Greggory I also acknowledge that although you are one of the biggest idiot lefties to ever grace a message board you are also a global warming denier, thats fascinating in itself, more amazing than a right winger that doesn't believe in bible bullshit even  ;D

Yes they have waved the white flag haven't they.  ;D

Something I like about the right is that they finally took the left's advice and got rid of Tony Abbott.  I really like the fact that he was stabbed removed three days before being eligible for a PM Pension

I think he qualified but not interested enough to research it.  I just recall reading that the time limit to which you refer was not current policy.

Have you any idea how excruciating it was being a right winger and having to support that guy?  :'(

Others would probably describe me as a right winger and I don't believe in bible bullshit. Or any sky fairyies.

Incorrect.

I'm sceptical when it comes to AGW.

Try to get your facts straight.

No, it is not.

I suggest you buy yourself a dictionary.

I am not a global warming denier - I am an AGW sceptic.

Two completely different things.

"Sceptical is an adjective. If you are sceptical about something, you have doubts about it."

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sceptic

Doubt: "To be undecided or skeptical about".

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/doubts

Moreover, global warming and AGW are two different things (the clue is in the letter 'A').

Listen to your fellow leftist f#ckwits, there is no such thing as a sceptic, a sceptic is a denier, there is no middle ground on this.

I have no interest in what other leftists may think.

I am an AGW sceptic. 

I doubt AGW is real, however, I'm keeping an open mind on the subject.

Of course there is.

Though a number of people who call themselves sceptics are in reality confirmed deniers, they really are not sceptical they have made up their minds.

It is funny that you don't seem to find sceptics on the believe side on this one though I suspect that many are. I could be one myself.

You been waiting every day to see if he walks into your ward ?

I like something about most of the rightwads here or I would not be bothered to disagree with them.

With some I like the passion, they actually believe the rubbish they sprout.

With some I like that they have a go even though they are real dumb.

With some I like the way they can spin anything in their favour.

I like that there are odd occasions that I agree with them on a topic.

I like the lefts because they like trees, animals and bicycles.
I admire their idealism.

If you like animals, you can't be too bad at all.

I like greg (now don't get any ideas) because he's a bit of a fool and so am I.

I also like John Smith because, though hugely misguided on a large range of issues, he sometimes has moments of lucidity and agrees with me.

And I like Grappler because he sometimes comes in from the dark.

Oh, and Pansi & Lisa I like because they are women (I think) and I can't bring myself to dislike many women whatever they think. And Marla of course.

ps if the last bit is sexist . . .wtf
pps on reflection, I'm with Grappler here, there are few if any I actually dislike. Being momentarily angry with some is a different thing.

I tend to pretty much like everyone apart from the virulent trolls.... Trollstoy and Trollalotski - pair of Russian strippers....

"in from the dark" - hmm - yes - a long-time online pal said she used a dictionary often with me - I just think I'm speaking plainly, but obviously I lose some with words and with thoughts at times... absent-minded professor with a sense of humour they call me - and I love posting a picture to tell a thousand words....

I like the way gwegorry has made a new speshal friend in mothra to help him troll, watching the romance blossom is precious.

I love watching people make up fictitious identities to appear important and noteworthy. Some of the characters are amazing to behold, from pretend secret agents to millionaires. They all seem oblivious to the fact they look like silly billies.

Now that's what I'm talking about - people with bad things to say to others or about others to prop up their own fragile egos and sustain their double brain cell dilemna - the problem caused by having one too many brain cells, total of two, and having them in perpetual conflict.

Like being a builders Laborer in real life and pretending you are a secret agent man on an internet forum ;D ;D ;D .
