Anyone with an opposing view to me <| sep |> This for real . I unabashedly think I ' m funny . <| sep |> Correct . I lived in Germany for 10 years . I was happy when Merkel got elected because shse was a better candidate than her opponents . I also cheered for her the second time she got elected . Now I wouldn ' t support her if they payed me , but it has nothing to do with her being a woman and all to do with her pretty much selling out the countries future . <| sep |> What a potty mouth ! I think this is what you meant , salty humanJazz yea dude bonking box play by a tramp player <| sep |> It may be official but it ' s not true . Just part of the fix . <| sep |> Abortion aside , conservatism certainly has a societal function . And it isn ' t necessarily related to religious zealotry either , you ' re right . Although the two make good partners sometimes . Here ' s a cool Ted talk about how both conservatism and liberalism helped us progress as a society . Unfortunately , there is a postelection polarization right now where the left and right talk about one another like they are arch enemies instead of necessary checks and balances .
