lol, what you didn't say is probably right, anyway!

Well, since I didn't say anything like that, there isn't any particular reason.

:D Erm, :confused: , maybe because I don't actually know the reasons behind what you are saying when you suggest that Treelover is a poor politico because of his/her belief that compassion motivates her/his political convictions? Revol: Shrug. Could dig out some Husserl, if you are that...

But I'm taking the perspective of the "immigrants" to the UK and thus see your point of view as getting in the way of poor peeps trying to better their lives. Strict immigration controls are detrimental to wouldbe immigrants. That, once again, sets us against each other: the working class...

:confused: Think about it? Er, yeah your reasoning, but compassion isn't really a type of reasoning, especially for compassionate types. Surely reasoning in politics is a case of 2+2=4, not a distillation of your emotions. Afterall, we all want the same thing, in this case, I would guess?

the foundation of my politics is my desire, and my desire is not without compassion. If I said my desire was to see a more compassionate world is that any less rational than a desire to improve my "material conditions", or is compassion part of my material conditions. The point is that...

I'm not saying that compassion and empathy have absolutely no role to play, but using them as the foundation of your politics is a mistake.

That's not left wing, that's liberalism. Left wing politics have, historically, always been about advancing our interests as a class, not some woolly, idealist notion of "helping people". I mean that border controls in general don't benefit us. Unless we're going to have every inch of the...

I don't see how there's anything to base left-wing politics on except wanting to help people, which is what I mean by compassion. So, you mean, our current immigration controls don't benefit us, and we should therefore have less of them? There seems to be a slight contradiction in the...

It's not complicated, compassion is a stupid thing to base your politics on and immigration controls do not benefit us anyway. How hard is it to understand? The government push for stronger border controls and more casualised conditions for migrant workers because it is in the interests of...

Politics grounded solely in "compassion" or who you "care about" are a non-starter anyway. It's all about recognising class interests. Immigration controls are not in our interest as a class because while they don't actually prevent immigrants coming in, they do force them into the most...

No the reasoning might be that if you're involved in politics, you're involved in national politics, as you don't have the possibility of trying to take over the world government, and if you're involved in national politics from a "left-wing" point of view, because you care about people? you...

...pro free trade, not pro-EU, and on the basis of what you have chosen to tell me not much like you at all. I will tell you what my Political Compass score is when you have answered my questions, particularly ... … with direct quotes from the document, please. (As I did to illustrate why I am...

A good read........

Your political compass Economic Left/Right: -9.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.92 (me and chomsky, I reckon)

Nor do I, but I don't think I as a European have the right to tell people from the developing world (in this case Mexico) who have Bullfighting in their history or culture that it is barbaric, that is my point, but many English people think it is their right to impose their standards on others...

Anyone in the Welsh forum ever tried this 'test' before? Quite an interesting site. Post what 'score' you get on the political compass. http://www.politicalcompass.org/ I got: Economic left/right: -4.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.51 (similar position to Ghandi :D )

That is nonsense, Chelsea had several other options that night and didn't use them. You specified 'english' manager, I can't think off the top of my head. But if the argument was change slightly where an english manager substituted a defender for a striker, then the team will still perform as...

Here's a really sad reality - both sides are going to continue attacking and blowing each other up. Nothing is going to stop them. All we can do is sit back and help the people. The UN is the only relief/humanitarian organization in the country. Everyone else has left - too much violence...

Anyone heard about this Compass conference, they are billing it with suitable hyperbole as The Shape Of Things To Come!. 'THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME? A manifesto to change our world over the next 20 years 2006 Compass National & Robin Cook Memorial Conference; Saturday 17 June, Central Hall...
