We come from different political backgrounds; we have different ideals; we even see the same people in completely different lights, but that doesn't mean we can't sit down and have a civil discussion of our opinions. The only reason I stopped discussing politics here was down to the recent flame wars; if people can keep their cool, I'll gladly rejoin the discussions.

I may be a member of what many consider the "far right wing", but I've always seen politics as more than one-dimensional. I agree with most of the social issues of the left, and even go further than them in some respects. Where most of our disagreements stem from is the discussion of economics, which can't easily be split up like social issues can. Economics is a tough subject, but I'm eager to learn (as always) how people think economics should work.

As you well know, Absurdism is my closely held personal belief. Absurdism says that all views, wether government, economic, philosophical, or religious are nothing more than personal opinions. Because of this, Absurdism is very clear that personal integrity is VERY important.

Do what you say, and say what you do.

I broke my own philosophy by assuming I was correct and others were wrong. I made myself to look like a fucking hypocrite and I am currently kicking myself in my stubborn ass right now for doing such. I was not a good spokesperson for my views, and I hope that by admitting my mistakes that I will make myself a better man for it, and that I can possibly save face by proving to people that I am honestly an open minded and easy going person who is willing to admit in detail what he did wrong and try to repair the damage done.

I am also a man of many passions, and I allowed my petty passions to override my better judgement to the detriment of this community.

I would very much like to keep discussing politics and economics with everyone on this forum like is reflected in your post.

I promise that I will have a much better attitude in the future when dealing with these topics.

Thankyou for accepting my apology. I hope that in time you will find that I am a man of integrity that will surely keep his promises for better or for worse.

Agreed, 'tis a noble trait.
