Ok...so this is similar to the "flatter the person above you thread" but since the soap box is often sooo divided...please post something that you agree with about the person above you's thoughts. you know so we all realize that we are still both just people...

Please lock/suspend/terminate me if this thread is dumbtarded. But I thought it would be pretty flippin awesome...commence finding common ground!

Only one rule and thats not really even a rule, but make sure you have some clue about what the person above you believes before you post. IE if you don't know what they think about an issue, then don't post...

Yeah, I did an unequal sign thingy and it came out as a question, so I replaced it with a pic

7/15/2010 8:47:36 AM

We both agree that Obama and Carter's presidencies are equally fail.

7/15/2010 8:58:39 AM

We both seem to not be big fans of Bob Etheridge.

(^President Obama has had his share of fail so far, done some good too, but he still has the chance to not be a 1 termer like Carter so I wouldn't say equally yet)

^ we both support Marshall over Burr this fall.

Though maybe for different reasons, since I mostly care about Burrs horrible stance on most environmental issues. But at the moment, I do support her and I am sticking with that as our common ground.

Just responding to socks comment, whoever goes next should still do socks

^Environmental concerns is certainly one of the things in my laundry list of concerns about Burr that I've mentioned (so I think that counts):

Quote :

"Obstructionist - Even with the military. In addition to participating in filibuster threats, he held up Duckworth's nomination to a key position in the office of veteran affairs despite her strong qualifications. He specifically also let generals travel from Korea and Hawaii to Washington DC for a meeting of the Senate Armed Services Committee and then canceled the meeting as a part of a larger party wide effort of obstructionism to not even let meetings happen. Economy - When he was first learning of the severity of the recession he told his wife to go to the ATM day after day taking out all the money it would allow b/c he was convinced that in a few days "the last thing that would come out of the ATM is money" (I can't recall his exact quote, but that isn't far off) which earned him the nickname Bank Run Burr. And, after his meeting with representatives from Goldman Sachs, who then gave the max allowed contribution to his campaign, he took a strong stand against Wall Street Reform. Washington Incumbent - This one might not be a big deal to everyone, but I know for some people they don't like politicians who have been in Washington forever, and Burr has been in Washington for nearly 2 decades. But after nearly 2 decades its hard to name any big Burr accomplishments. War - Burr says we still need several more years of war. Whereas Elaine has attacked President Obama on amount of conflict we're involved with. Women's issues - He voted against Frank's anti-rape amendment which passed with many Dem & GOP votes. He also voted for domestic violence to continue as a pre-existing condition. Gay Rights - He's against repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell and favors an amendment to the US constitution to write in a ban of gay marriage which even his Libertarian opponent has called him out on for wasting government time/money on trying to rewrite the constitution with more of his social conservatism. Environment - He tends to rate horribly here. According to Wikipedia: "Burr has generally received low ratings from environmental-protection organizations. In 2007-2008, for example, he received a rating of 0% from Environment America[17], 12% from the League of Conservation Voters, and 29% from Republicans for Environmental Protection." And he's taken plenty of cash from big oil like Haliburton, BP, and others which is reflected in his voting record."

^^Since no one else seems to be going, both pro-wind farms (as a part of a broader energy initiatives)

^both support animal rescue efforts
Basing off this thread: http://thewolfweb.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=536283


To help out the next person, I thought I'd add a few more positions I hold that I've seen people that I typically disagree with, still agree with me on:

I think the drug war efforts go way too far, and in particular we need to start with marijuana decriminalization (tax & regulate it as you would alcohol or tobacco)

I supported efforts to move away from enhanced torture techniques and towards following the army field manual.

I support comprehensive sex ed over abstinence only education

7/16/2010 3:25:07 PM

We both support efforts to legalize gay marriage, but he likes cock way, way, way more than me.

7/16/2010 3:39:36 PM

Bump:

I like this thread, we should try to find more common ground in the soap box. And its a less wordy, more fun thread than most.

I've gone enough though, surely someone else has common ground with Kurtis636?

7/22/2010 1:45:12 PM

^ Both of us probably wouldn't mind a tugjob? I don't know, that's all I've got right now.

7/22/2010 2:25:44 PM

We both think the other person is a fucking idiot lunatic.

7/22/2010 2:30:07 PM

^ Well, then we don't have common ground. I don't think you're a "lunatic"--I simply disagree with your positions and your methods here.

7/22/2010 2:37:39 PM

^both consider ourselves not to be social conservatives, both support repeal of DADT, both enjoyed the TV series The West Wing, and both enjoy a good comic-book-based movie/show,

[Edited on July 22, 2010 at 2:53 PM. Reason : .]

7/22/2010 2:49:34 PM

^ Concur. I just didn't want to put in the effort to think about it.

7/22/2010 3:11:03 PM

^ both oppose the growing power of the health police.

7/22/2010 3:17:13 PM

^We both agree Virginia Foxx "sounds like a nut"

Quote :

"Wants to get naked with a dood"

Quote :

"likes cock"

Quote :

"probably wouldn't mind a tugjob?"

Also, I'm glad y'all can find common ground me. But you really need to try to think outside the cocks.

Seriously though, in this thread alone I've mentioned a few specific politicians, and issues as broad and including animal welfare, campaign finance reform, obstructionism in government, the economy, war, womens issues, the environment, the war on drugs, torture, and comprehensive sex ed.
