Re: spudlydoo
Yep, it comes from both sides, but, you don't have to read very far on this forum to see where the majority of the nastiness comes from. I wont bother with giving examples, its quite obvious to anyone that reads this forum, and has been commented on already.
If you believe that the nastiness on this forum is akin to teasing, (such as from your siblings), then all I can say is that I'm very glad that I didn't grow up in that kind of family.
As for what is really going on, look at who is funding these politicians, and then go a bit further, and look at who controls those doing the funding. The left/right dance, is used by these controllers to keep people busy arguing with each other, while they continue with business as usual. I could spell it all out for you, but you'll understand it better if you research for yourself. It does mean leaving your political prejudice aside.
There are a lot of crackpot
Conspiracy theories out there in the world, but there are also some, that are full of truth. When you can open your mind, past the left/right rubbish, its not so hard to see.
