The only reasons I can see folks coming here would be to argue politics or to be amused by other folks arguing politics. I’ve noticed that you aren’t timid about the former. If I’m missing something I’m open to enlightenment.
Well, if those are the only reasons you see, that must be it right? But, for the record, I am more amused by others arguing politics than actually arguing them myself. Sure, I will jump in there and mix it up on occasion. But, I enjoy watching you rubes play Big Indian/Little Indian.
So then in your world political parties aren’t
”groups” of folks made up of individuals, they’re simply “individuals?” Government isn’t a “group” of people? Unions, charities, special interest, Wall Street, blacks, whites, Asians and Native Americans and Hispanics aren’t groups of folks made up of individuals? You’ve developed a talent to eradicate all collective human actions and realities from your vocabulary? I reckon that’s one way to reduce the redundancy and measurements of your dictionary and encyclopedia, I prefer a larger reference availability myself.
Might inquire what exactly is “leftwing” about my recognition of human rights?
Here is a nice link for you to peruse from our friends at the United Nations on what they think are "human rights". One of them includes a right to employment. Do you think people have a right to employment? Another is a right to leisure time. Do you think people have a right to leisure time? I do not. As I have said, the term "human rights" is too subjective. I am more interested in individual rights of person and property. But, hey, you are free to believe what you want even if it is a left wing belief.

What’s to mix?
I think I have already said that my libertarian streak leans to just let people fuck themselves up and who should care, but life isn't that simple, people on drugs happen to fuck other peoples lives as well. So, I go back and forth on the issue. I am deeply sorry that it isn't good enough for you. To be honest, the drug issue isn't really high on my priority. But, it does seem to cause you great concern. Maybe, if I ever get this desire to please you, I might move it up on my priority list? I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
So conversation and questioning is “forceful haranguing?”
Yes, that is what you are doing. You are free to do it. Just don't expect to change my mind.
I thought it might simply be rational peaceful exchange of ideological thought that might provide food for thought for both of us while I believe that the only people that can change a mind are the people owning the particular mind at issue.
Maybe you need a lot more explanation in your typing. You seem to be at a loss for same.
If I were “full of shit,” I’d be a Democrat or a Republican, I’m neither!
Yeah, you are one of those "moderates" I hear so much about
