To those who say that liberals dominate the internet, not true.

I admit, most on this board are liberal/communist/socialist/anarchist/anti-american, but that doesn't mean that the internet is without Conservatives.

It depends on the type of message board.

I find that military message boards are strongly conservative, while international message boards are liberal dominated.

Here's a tip for you Eladarna, I wouldn't believe everything you hear on this forum.

Oh, I was just razzing them, hehe, we do have some conservatives on the forum who make very valid arguments. It's not my cup of tea, but hey, we can't all agree, in fact life would sort of be boring if we did huh. ;)

I don't think that the majority of the forum is liberal or conservative. I think it's more that a majority of the forum doesn't care either way- or at least, not enough to bother writing about it.

Just like with voting, just like with life, etc.

There are probably just more liberals who care enough to write about their opinions. But that doesn't mean the board is overwhelmingly liberal. Just that the most vocal segment is the liberals.

Ease up there. There are a lot of conservatives who are very intelligent people, and a lot of us probably know a lot more about computers than you do.

Are you assuming that all those that express liberal views here are actually liberals? I believe the idiocy expressed by some is enough evidence to point to them being puppets operated by the dark forces of conservatism as part of a carefully orchestrated smear campaign.

Come to think of it, I could be one of the dark forces of conservatism, seeking to turn the liberals against each other, and thus making the suggestion above in order to heighten their paranoia and increase the likelihood of witch-hunts and in-fighting.

That reminds me of a joke that either This Hour Has 22 Minutes or Royal Canadian Air Farce made, it was about a french climber. They made the joke of people commenting that, "If he hadn't retreated 5 feet for every 10 feet he advanced, he would have completed the climb much faster." Was funny.

I am french and i am offended.

I am offended because you are insulting the french soldier who cowardly died protecting the british troops embarking at dunkerque.

I am offended because you are insulting the french soldier who cowardly died in the desert of egypt holding rommel troops at Bir Hakeim.

I am offended because you are insulting the french soldier who cowardly died in the mountain of italy bypassing Monte Cassino.

I will stop here because there is no point to explain what it do to a country to be utterly beaten and see a whole country under nazi occupation to you.

I have been in normandy, i have seen the tombs of the british, canadian and american troops who fought on those beaches. You my grand father is buried side by side with them and he has nothing to be ashamed of.

One last thing.

To the ones who said : We helped you in WW2 you must helped us now.

USA did oppose to the french fighting in algeria. We did hold any grudge to USA for that because they were right.

We are right when we say the going to war against irak is a bad decision: because there is non WMD in irak and because instead of hepling the peace it will only breed chaos and destruction.

It might have something to do with the fact that, apparently, 90% of the conservatives who register onto this forum leave quickly, either because they're such jerks that they get banned or because they get pissed off them people won't accept "It says so in the Bible" as a logical argument.

Here is my take on why conservatives do not post in the NS forums.

1. The "status quo" of the NS forums, at least in General, is dominated by well educated liberals. Most conservatives that hold upteen degrees have jobs that require a lot of time of them, and therefore they do not have the time and effort required to have pointless debates on here that will not change anyone's mind. Because all the well educated conservatives have jobs, most of the conservatives that are found on Nationstates (or the internet in general) are either brainwashed "Kill the commies, kill the muslims, abortion is evil, death penalty is great" kind of people that, like the liberals on here, hold very strong beliefs, however, lack the intelligence, logic, and research ability to back up their beliefs, or the conservatives found on here are college or high school students.

2. In general, many conservatives on the NS forums are banned because they are as straight-foward and rightous with their beliefs as many of the liberals and most of the moderators are left-wingers and the moderators do not put up with pointless threads being started over and over again with the topic "All Muslims are Terrorists" with slight variations. However, when there are a dozen threads with the title, "George W Bush is a Nazi" or such, the moderators will let it slide. Also, many of the conservatives on the NS forums do not have the patience to play games with the moderators. If what they post means they get banned, they do not care and are not going to cry about it. Also, many conservatives (and liberal posters) do not see where the political discussion ends and the "play time" begins. They take their dislike for another poster's political views and turn it into hatred of that poster. This results in the conservative poster calling the person they hate names in a "play time" thread about the Olymipcs or something. This blind hatred is unacceptable, no matter if it is a conservative hating a liberal, or vice versa.

Disclaimer:
If you dont agree with what I said, good. That is your God given right as an American (or what ever country you are from). If you hate me for what I just said, great. I don't care. There is more important things in life than political debate on an internet message board. I am sure I pissed some people off (to the left and right) with what I just said, and I do not care.

1. Most of the people on these boards are in the 13-16 age range. Maybe up to 18. The rest are minorities.
2. Most of the people on these boards are liberal.

Young people are more often liberal than not. Liberalism is about rebelling against authority, and rebelling against authority also happens to be what being a teenager these days (apparently) is all about.

So, no surprises here.
