Ex-Liberal voter, currently Labour/Greens voter, will not ever like to see Greens in complete control, ditto an Abbott government (the most Americanised/Republican Liberal Party I've yet seen). I'd describe myself as a left-leaning centrist (in the current climate, during the 60s and 70s, bar a few issues, I'd be called right-leaning). Here to observe the right-ward shift of the centre of politics in Australia and amuse myself with it (until it becomes depressing reality).
I'd like to think minds could be changed (including my own) given sound arguments that don't rely on false information, sloganeering or op-shop rhetoric. Though I don't hold out much hope of logic ever truly overcoming emotive, visceral response, one can always hope. Wish I could drag politics kicking and screaming back to the centre, but with banks running the economy and therefore the world, I see everything being skewed in their and their shareholders (read: their rich depositors) interests from now till they can't get away with it anymore (when everyone realises we've gone back to the conditions of serfdoms).
Likes: reading, writing, drawing, cooking, cricket, being gay (I await arguments that use this as a basis for disqualification of my opinion).
Dislikes: Boxing (two sweaty men in underwear, you'd think I'd love it, but oddly no), high-pitched noises, Orwellian tactics/Newspeak, commercial television, Facebook/Twitter/any other MyFace, LifeJournal, EverythingAboutMeThatNoOneCaresAbout(WithPICTURES!) social networking monstrosity.
Oh dear ,its good to see a happy person on the threads ,gay happy people are rare birds indeed .
Just think yourself lucky that Scientifically minded people ,like myself ,do not blame the homosexual community for the LGBTIQ rubbish .
some uneducated crude thinking people think that "Gay' means homosexual ,but as you are just a happy person "Gay=Gaiety=Happy"you don't mix up ,slang and Demeaning and derogatory terms ,like 'Gay' and "lesbian 'in political science ,now do You?
tell me you are NOT ,homophobic as you could be considered to be using terms like ,'gay'.
please be mature and scientific if your sexuality is Homosexual then say so ,then we can all be clear .
Down with ,LGBTI,gender\sexuality Identity politics .Gobbly goog of a Post-modernist constructionist insanity .
We used to call it just plain ,Subjective idealism .Another form of Non-Think.
defend ,SCIENCE.
