The club's battle cry just happens by coincidence to be the same as Revoltistan's.....
Damn the torpedoes! Full speed astern!

Our Dark Lord has informed me that I shall channel him when the presidential election campaigns arrive in full swing.
It has been a while, eh?

This doesn't apply to those of us who aren't on any teams.

What are you complaining about. You like creepy. And so do I.
Aaaah, I love the smell of Duality in the morning....
[QUOTE/] In a political debate you feel like the other side just doesnt get your point of view, and if they could only see things with your clarity, they would understand and fall naturally in line with what you believe. They must not understand, because if they did they wouldnt think the things they think. By contrast, you believe you totally get their point of view and you reject it. You see it in all its detail and understand it for what it is stupid. You dont need to hear them elaborate. So, each side believes they understand the other side better than the other side understands both their opponents and themselves. [QUOTE/]
This part really struck me as quite interesting. Shows me exactly why my parents and my sister believe that I was never 'a part of their group'; or in their words "a true christian".

Bump for an interesting topic....especially as we approach the time of tooth & claw in Nov 2012.
This excerpt reminds me of posters who are prone ad hominem arguments....
"The researchers explained this is how one eventually arrives at the illusion of naive realism, or believing your thoughts and
perceptions are true, accurate and correct, therefore if someone sees things differently than you or disagrees with you in
some way it is the result of a bias or an influence or a shortcoming. You feel like the other person must have been tainted in
some way, otherwise they would see the world the way you do – the right way. The illusion of asymmetrical insight clouds your
ability to see the people you disagree with as nuanced and complex. You tend to see your self and the groups you belong to in
shades of gray, but others and their groups as solid and defined primary colors lacking nuance or complexity."
Of course, that happens only on other forums, where less advanced minds wallow. They smell bad too.
