HAY GUYS! The Unions are sick of small crowds (2 Viewers)

[MoonlightSonata]

Thats clearly a bit rich Moonlight. I only argue the left in order to counter the extreme right. My personal beliefs economically are to the right...my social values rest to the center left

Like I said, there are two axis, one may be sacrificed to the prominance of the other.

Also, moderate left and moderate right are still left and right. Putting people in categories will always upset those on the borderlines but it is a convenient heuristic for how balanced this place is.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

Withoutaface is definately to the right!

OH of course! i'd put him on the right.
I was talking about Phanatical, who i believe overall is on the left.

 

[MoonlightSonata]

How did I end up on the right AND at the top of the list? I demand satisfaction Moonlight.

Well you only have your avatar to blame

Phanatical is right? he's a commy!! lol
He's only right on this issue.

Let me direct you to this thread
http://www.boredofstudies.org/commu...9955&page=1&highlight=John+Howard+Mark+Latham

There was also another thread around election time where the greens had as many BOS votes as liberals lol

Katie Tully is left? OH MERCY!

That's a reflection of the BoS community as a whole rather than Newspols regulars. Oh and Moonlight, I love it when you pigeonhole me, YEAH BABY.

Well you only have your avatar to blame

I'm paralysed with rage.
Not to make too fine a point about it, I was going for the Dame Edna angle of imitating something that you clearly loathe.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

I'd agree with that one except for absolution...
He's center left, he might have the economic values of a conservative but he's definately on the left.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

He's a homosexual? i didn't even know that. All i know is that i've had alot of debates with him, and he basically disagrees with me on every issue.
He's on the left.

True

If you wanted to break the heavyweights up, it does look a bit skewed:

Right
Neo_o
Not-That-Bright
Rorix

Moderate Right
Iron Woman
Generator (?)
MoonlightSonata
Xayma

Moderate Left
Asquithian
Generator (?)

Left
Leetom
Comrad_nathan
Arguing for them "to counter-balance extreme right": Asquithian

 

[withoutaface]

Withoutaface is definately to the right!

I would have said so too, but political compass says libertarian left...

He's on the left.

Dude he's no leftie! Go look at his posts

umm Comrade Nathan, Zahid, Leetom?
Are these people invisible to you?

I've found that Generator is impossible to pigeon hole, he is smack bang in the center.

 

[MoonlightSonata]

I'm paralysed with rage.

Well initially I generally consider you a bit unclear on the left right issue, I'd be inclined to put you as moderate

but it was really just the feel I had. Please correct me!

 

[withoutaface]

I've found that Generator is impossible to pigeon hole, he is smack bang in the center.

Exactly, I think his opinions are about the only ones in the forum that everyone can agree with to some extent.

 

[MoonlightSonata]

Generator is not center right! I think he may have issues with that determination!

But we want him!

 

[neo o]

God we're nerds. Now, all we need are a few law jokes to flesh out this thread.

So union fees to be fair should be proportional?

Well no they shouldn't but the way they spend their money should keep this fact in mind. At the moment it is hard to see them doing anything other than re-distributing money from poor to rich or those who live off-campus to on-campus.

Personally, I favour a situation where compulsory student unionism is abolished and replaced by a compulsory fee charged and administered by the university. This way it would ensure that services provided are actually meaningful and not controlled by people who seek to manipulate funds for achieving their political goals.

 

[neo o]

He leans against VSU...cares about human rights...

I always though he was CLEARLY CENTER LEFT.

Center right is like comparing him with Amada Vandstone!

He's also a hellava lot more moderate than you asqy, I know that you secretly hate the free market.

 

[neo o]

I tend to push a bit of lefty compassion to counter NTB.

I tend to 'bring up' lefty issues. Compassion is sorely lacking thesedays.

You can't legislate compassion.
