    Default Left Wing Club

    I saw a conservative club in the backroom. I am politically left, so I am going to start a Left Wing Club. Politically, I favor socialism with a democratic platform.

    All right!

    If you think that you are a liberal, socialist, communist, pro-choice, pro-same sex marriage, or simply leftist in political or economic views, please say "I want to be a member" and you are in!

    I will keep a tally of the members every two days and post their names on the first thread!

    The club welcomes all types of lefties (You do not have to support all left wing issues, as long as you have pro-left sympathies, you are more than welcome.)

    Current Members:

    poirot
    IliaDN
    KafirChobee
    Gertgregoor

    Not again
    This is the forth version of this club. I started a conservative , leiberal and moderate club a longtime ago. The only club that has never changed is the conservative one . Though we did have to rebuild it after we changed sites. The liberal and moderate clubs come and go but us conservatives are rock solid. We know what we believe in.

    I don't really think a club is needed, but whatever. So whats on the agenda?

    To oppose backroom conservatives, as well as other things like politics etc.

    Read the ideas of your humanitas thread + some communistic and democratic ideas + main requirement - people will behave GOOD.
    A bit childish answer, but so is the question.

    See, the little winking thing on the right changes this whole statement from a self-congratulating bit of smuggery (with a nice smear against everyone who isn't an avowed conservative) into a witty piece of "tweaking."

    That was the intent, right? You should see how G is behaving in the Moderate Club. God forbid he allow anyone to have the last word. In any shape or form.

    Unasked-for advice: If you want to maintain your club, and not begin it with four pages of all-about-Gawain, just stop responding to his slanders.

    Oh, and I guess I should follow that with a wink smiley. Because that makes a sweeping slander witty.

    No wanted.

    If anyone's read my posts here in the backroom, you all probably think I am a conservative...But I must say JAG has a good point (or three).

    But I am pro-choice and pro-same sex marriages (I have too many gay friends to think to deny them the same rights I've got)...

    Maybe I'm just confused...

    Good on you poirot. However, as I formed the "moderates" Club, I will not join this one, also I can not join the Conservative's either.

    Good Luck with your club.

    Good to see that some things havent changed....

    ...well it isnt good, its rather bad actually


    Anyhows...here is what i think:

    If somehow you are mad enough NOT to want to look like, talk like and build a golden shrine to Nixon or Kissinger it doesnt necessarily make you left-wing. Its not only the left-wing who is opposed to what american conservatism is , the whole bloody world is opposed to it. Based on that assumption we should have a 'rest of the planet' club....and then things would get really really silly

    The 2 Eurocents from a socially left-wing and economicaly right-wing person...
