I think he created this thread in search of knowledge....not ridicule. But I guess it always takes a bigger man to put down another when they admit they are ignorant of a subject and are doing what they can to improve that....

"I'm left wing" = I'm stupid.

"I'm right wing = "I'm stupid

"You capitalist dog" = I'm extremely stupid and I probably don't know what this term means, but the word dog is in it, and being a dog is bad so I'll use it as an insult to someone who doesn't share my political views.

"Socialist" = Stupid

All of the political terms are dumb.

ChikinMeat> Maybe go look up the "Political Compass" thread. There's a test in there, with lots of questions. Maybe they will help you figure out where you stand.

Scarpa> What's the "oppisite" of a Hippie? Someone who can't spell? 😄

The term I think you're looking for TO is redneck cowboy

Raz> Argh, don't ruin my eloquent abuse of a typo!! 😉

This was how i understood left/right wings.
