POLL: The biggest threat to the Civilized World...
- Thread starter candletrader
- Start date
So far its pretty evenly matched...
Quote from spect8or:
Although it's obvious to anyone with half a brain that fanatical islam is the most serious threat to civilization, I think there's potentially an even greater threat: those people (candletraders) who think the biggest threat to civilization is American foreign policy.
Why? Because the first threat is reasonably clear to all reasonably intelligent people (expect perhaps the most morally confused ivory tower dwellers). But the second is a much more insidious and less readily detectible threat. I think there's a real danger if the views of these kooks ever gain substantial mainstream acceptance.
so true!

This poll is about as hard to decide on the correct answer as a poll which would ask which letter follows "A" in the alphabet. The choices would be: "B" or "W".
I don't believe candle is this stupid. He just likes to come on message boards and stir up shit. But, in all fairness to candle, he isn't the only one who practices such stupidity.

And this is because their intellectual capacity overshadows their basic human judgment of what's good and what's evil.
It is lucky for freedom, democracy, and peace, that most western people on earth are not overly intellectual. The super intellectual extreme left is nothing but a loud minority.
But the funny thing is that most of the extreme left's arguments don't sound intellectual at all. They keep contradicting their own selves all the time. And then they claim that their arguments are simply too complicated for us simple people to understand. Anyway they sound pretty schizophrenic to me. Maybe it's the drugs...

Actually, most of their arguments are the result of pure rhetoric and emotion, rather than being rationally derived through logic and reasoning.
