We've got plenty to disagree about, the fact that we may not clash on political matters as much as art, music, psychology or ethics, science or writing, does not mean that we're an echo chamber.

It's this dastardly culture that can take an entire community and evaluate it solely on a political perspective, even to go so far as to divide us into 2-4 categories, and decide that since we only fall under 1 or 2 of those political categories then drawing any conclusion about us therein is justified. That says nothing about the community in my opinion. Especially with this idiotic survey.

Fair enough, I just thought that I'd open the question for discussion, as no one had addressed it within the post I linked to.

Well, that was pretty damning... I'd just wanted to see some thoughts, and I got 'em.

I really dig it here, and ironically, there were some intense disagreements that played out while I was making the original post. Unfortunately, the content and nature of the discourse mostly revolved around one user being a total moron. 8bit referenced this in his post.

As for your statements, I agree with all of them, albeit less passionately.

I meant no offense to you man, opening a topic for discourse doesnt make you personally responsible for the topic :D Half the time I make a discussion-based post I don't even take a viewpoint cause I don't even know where I stand yet.
