From one perspective would not capitalism be liberal?
I mean, after all, capitalism essentially opens the possibility that more people can freely attain wealth, instead of wealth being limited to an oligarchy, to an elite bunch, and all ownership being limited to them too. Doesn't capitalism liberalize the ownership rights of the masses, and opens for them the opportunity for wealth.

I only say this because the modern capitalist tends to be conservative, and considers, ironically, all "liberalism" as oppressive, because it puts too much power in the government, or in a few.

Therefore, I think these labels are STUPID.

Capitalism is not part of leftist liberal ideology, leftist liberal ideology is opposed to capitalism. Though it does support crony capitalism. I'm not sure about you but most who don't like 'labels' like liberal or leftist or the ones that don't like the idea that liberalism is a mental disorder are probably liberals themselves.

a ha. I most certainly am not a liberal, and I think your statement is laughable. When I see proof that you are fully qualified to make such claims about the state of someone's mental health (a Psychology degree, a social work lisence, etc) maybe I'll take you seriously rather than spew my green tea all over my computer monitor from laughing so hard.

I have to disagree that it is a mental disorder. It's rather a spiritual/moral one. Otherwise we would be calling mental disorder a sin, which would be pretty absurd really.

Well the first statement was this crazy thing called a joke. While leftist ideology is counter to reason a person isn't clinically insane if they suffer from it .

[Selah]

You can't really blame me. There was no indication you were joking, so

Foolishness is not a mental disorder in the medical sense.

[Selah]

Or in any sense.

It's...okay, I can see where you're going with that. Foolishness is distorted and disordered thinking. That, I can agree with.

Why are you so serious lately?



Srsly, take two deep breaths, then look at who you're arguing with.

I have [b]absolutely no respect [/b]for beliefs I consider false, whether those beliefs be held by those who claim to be Catholic or by members of other religions.
[/quote]

Yeah... and they have absolutely no respect for beliefs (ours) they consider false...

Luigi: Radical concept - just a little bit of respect might lead to charity, which might lead to... I know, I know - I told you it was radical.

I don't expect others to have respect for my beliefs.

[Nihil Obstat]

Obviously we respect the people who hold these beliefs, but we needn't respect the beliefs themselves.
