Why do you believe what you do politically?
I'm curious how everyone came to their views on this site. I've been seeing a lot of bashing on political parties but assuming that the users here are way to young to even fully comprehend what's going on I'm curious how you came to believe what you do. I know it's easy to disagree with people and it's a fun us vs them little fight you get to have. But politics should be about finding what is reasonable to believe and then doing it regardless of political identity. Our political system is in shambles. A two party system cannot hope to represent the views of America, we are much to diverse. Have you ever learned about other parties and why they think the way they do? Exploring ideas is crucial if we are ever to grow as a country. BTW America is not #1 in anything except military. Do you remember that bully you had in school? The amount of money the US is making per person is going down and Norway is highest, which is a social liberal country. Denmark has the highest happiness rating in the world, which is a social liberal country. Denmark's unemployment is around 4% vs the US unemployment which is 9.3% and rising. Do you even know the difference between a social liberal, liberal, social democrat, communist, libertarian, republican, tea partier, social republican, green party, populist, conservative, and everything else? Maybe you should go figure out what you REALLY are instead of buying into this BS about Democrat or Republican. We need a better voting system where more ideas can be heard because these two groups are screwing everything up and refusing to THINK about things besides voting down their parties lines. I think it's time that people thought seriously about why this is happening. The banks have screwed us all over. The large multinational corporations don't care at all about you or your life. They want you to give them all your money and want to work people for as little money as possible to make even more money. It's time we got together and noticed who the real enemy was. Large banks and business that don't care about your happiness and rip you off whenever they can. www.thestoryofstuff.com So, what do you believe? Did you think about it or do you just think what your told?

I would favor a system where there is a more powerful, wealthier, ruling elite. It would be much more efficient. But I also think there needs to be a check on that power to keep it extremely limited. Instead we have a system where the masses (who really don't know whats best for them), vote for people who make poor choices, are at odds with each other, and bash political parties on yahoo answers. Of course, my idealism might be too far-fetched. Regardless of my views (as off the wall they are), we should all be trying to work together and understand one another.
