Politics!

[oats]

@Knucklehead I worked for a republican governor and a democratic representative for several years, decided I don't want to work in politics for numerous reasons. what someone does for a living has no bearing on other areas of knowledge. people here aren't recording artists or professional MCs, and they know a ton about hip hop. don't make stupid arguments; your first one (everyone is an expert of their own biases) was actually a good one.

his point i don't think was that i was more knowledgable on the ins and outs of the political system, but more im honest and open with my opinion in reference to politics. i'll never claim to be more knowledgable than diode for instance.

but the difference is i engage in the discussions while he'll drop a big word like keynesian that i have to google to even know what he means lol. but thats if he engages at all. most the time it will be him just criticizing some irrelevant point like in this thread.

not to go at diode though. switch his name out with any of the political "snobs" for lack of a better word.

And now that you're not I'd imagine you're no more privy to CURRENT political trends than anyone with an Internet connection.

Everything changes every year. Science, pop culture, politics.. if you're not involved directly now than your pipeline is the same as car mechanic uh oh

But honestly I respect your opinion because you are always respectful of people as much as you can be and aren't an elitist about every opinion you have.

I stick by my statement in regards to Diode. No way he was ever involved with more than volunteering.
