I mean, from what I've gathered, there seem to be the stereotypical "Conservative/Christian/Republican" and "Liberal/(Agnostic or Atheist)/Democrat" people in great numbers, with a few others scattered here and there.

Is the general demographic in here really that polarized, or am I just getting that impression because of all the political debate?

you should make a "political compass" thread. i bet it'll help you out.
(some poltical compass quizes arn't very friendly to one side or the other, so i won't post any links to any. find one you like yourself and post it.)

Less government intervention? Are you kidding? The govt can run / see more parts of our lives now than ever, and they don't even have to have a reason.

"The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" Boohoohoo. Give me an example of where the government is seeing more parts of MY life without a reason. How about YOUR life? Give me REAL examples, not just heresay or some B.S. you picked up off a kook website. You did use the word "our" to present your case.

You seem to be new here KlubMarcus, or just a different name, but you have without a doubt the most assinine views of anyone here. That honor used to belong to Lothar, but I think it's on you now.

I don't know how you are the rest of the time, but it sounds like you just gave me a compliment.

In the end, I seriously doubt any liberal enviro wacko islamikazi (i like the way conservatives use adjectives) would simply say the death of 225 thousand was a good thing. In terms of the environment, it is. In terms of human life, it is not.

Then you should head to the tsunami area and help those poor backwards third-world anti-American communists and Muslims out! Don't just sit there. After all, "only you (as a Westerner and/or American) can prevent forest fires... err tsunamis".
