I suppose the better term would be "western" than "world." Mostly meant "by the standards of the majority of the population of the world which would tend to have access to the internet."

European nations are far more liberal than the US - that's all that means.

by european nations, are you excluding eastern european nations just like you excluded most of the world by saying the world means europe?

We are obviously talking about people that would reply to the post, which means comfortably English speaking with internet.

I think that demographic is mostly more left wing than average US?

From my experience, many americans have troubles processing the fact that their left is still our right (and their right is our insane) and this shift is at the root of most online political misunderstandings

I like the "sun of a beach". I could imagine someone writing that into a children's cartoon or something.

Alcathous was just temp banned for 90 days by KwarK.

That account was created on 2014-12-12 08:33:45 and had 216 posts.

Reason: As an incredibly petty and power crazed college kid who will probably never amount to anything this is all I can do to make it through the day.

LOL... well deserved, but the ban reason makes me worry... I'm not sure we can find another 89 trashposter, so Kwark can make it through the next 3 months, until that guy is back. I hope Kwark won't suffer from withdrawel symptoms :/

They prob just ban me because it's 5 regulars vs 1 occasional poster. Easier to blame the victim. And moderators are just a bunch of college kids who desperately want to have some power over something anyway. Anyone who actually amounts to something in life won't waste their free time on that.

All I was saying is that it makes more sense to view it the opposite way. Maybe that's taking it too far for some here and invites absurd ridicule/online bullying.

What the hell is ego-centric about that? And the first word is just hypocritical shit - I refuse to be prohibited from making observations about correlation in human behaviour just because some people believe that we must at all costs pretend that all people are the same regardless of where they were born and what influenced them all their lives. If that's how I would have to beahve if I were american, I am sure as hell glad to have an european country next to my name.

I was just commenting on a very visible trend I see - I have met many an american who literaly had no idea that what they call "left" and "right" is by no means universal to the whole western world and I really believe that many misunderstandings would be just cleared if people coming from different backgrounds would first agree what their points are. I also observe that the problem is usually at the american's side, because when most europeans I know who care a bit about politics observe american politics with extreme curiousity and thus are aware of the differences.
