Right wing politics will call left wing radical while the left wing will call the right radical.

Im sorry, can you link me to a forum where that was said? A lot of people on this forum hate America/Bush, but as far as I know, nobody believes all Americans should be exterminated....

Republicans shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Kinda reminds me of the REPUBLICANS in the 50s/60s jailing communists so that they woodnt have influence ¬_¬

Quote:

My question to all of you is - why do you suppose it's a common trait among us Aspies to take extremist positions on political and social issues?

Id say it was because Aspies only see "extreme" as a relative concept to the mainstream, so were not afraid to think what we ACTUALLY think, rather than being herded along like the majority.

Quote:

However, I'm going to keep believing what I believe, whether you think that's right or wrong. That's my choice and not yours.

Very true. Most of us may not like your beliefs, and may have difficulty accepting them, but if we cant convince you otherwise through reason and philosophy, then we shouldnt flame you over them.

Quote:

Would any of you consider that part of the reason that extreme views in Aspies are more common compared to that of NTs is because a lot of us have trouble or an inability to look at multiple sides of an issue?

Maybe thats true in some cases, but not in mine. I can see other sides of arguments, I just dont agree with them. This is why I dont believe evil people actually exist - if I can see their side of the argument, then I can see that, to them, they are in the right, even if it so happens that they arent.

Quote:

Much of their worldview is determined by what they most expose themselves to (i. e. the entertainment industry), and they haven't gotten to that plateau where they absolutely have to take a stand for something completely on their own.

I will have to take a stand for my views soon enough, and so will any other Brit who believes strongly enough in democracy and the sanctity of freedom.

We better not be all killed. I'm an American and I would not like to be killed thank you very much. I really don't care for politics but I'm all for Bush. Don't hate us, get it us as in US? Okay not really funny there.
