I don't think we've had a poll on this actually.

Anyway I obviously vote no.

Only with your lady wife of the opposite gender, and only in the missionary position.

Disgusting degenerate. I bet you want it to lead to procreation as well!

The unique misfortune of the Palestinian refugees is that they are a weapon in what seems to be a permanent war...today, in the Middle East, you get a repeated sinking sensation about the Palestinian refugees: they are only a beginning, not an end. Their function is to hang around and be constantly useful as a goad. The ultimate aim is not such humane small potatoes as repatriating refugees.

I thought you disbanded me?  Discarded? Debarred? I can't remember how you put it.

For like a day. I was pretty livid, but upon closer inspection, it's not like I found every single one of your posts terrible. As long as you're not talking about East Asia or "white voting patterns".

A majority thinks fracking should be completely illegal? Seriously?

You say that as if it is prima facie ridiculous to oppose the use of a technique that contaminates groundwater and causes earthquakes.

I have concerns about the environmental impact, but it has the potential to be a great source of energy if it can be done safely. For now it should be legal but limited and closely monitored.

"Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard. . . But freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order."

Sometimes, reality has a corporatist-traditionalist bias. Sometimes it has a liberal bias.

Economic score: +4.84
Social score: -6.52

At this rate, I'll lean left economically within a year or so Tongue

Yes, but the spin machine that the natural gas companies have created are doing a successful job at getting people to believe otherwise.

Living somewhere where fracking very well could occur thanks to my state, therefore actually having an investment in the issue rather than being a "side-seat driver," this is a big deal to me.  And as far as I'm concerned, anyone who lives anywhere where fracking isn't and won't occur's opinion is of no interest.

It can't, and every time they go to frack they leave the area at high risk.
