Yes, RDK, don't hide the truth from yourself.Some things I can't post on. Like the 2nd amendment. I have yet to reach a decision on my personal interpretation.
Speaking of RDK, you are a big time conservative in the closet.
Your interpretation on the second amendment says other wise. I think you view the republican party and the term conservative as alien from you because of your religion affiliations, but I don't think your constitutional interpretations are much more aligned with the Nixon area than you might want to believe. A Neo-con (as in the religious, modern day republican party founded by Ronald Regan) is not a conservative, and religion in politics actually goes against conservative values.Conservative economically? Most definitely yes. Socially? Not at all.
I don't generally prescribe to labels such as "liberal" or "conservative", and I especially don't prescribe to a specific party. As far as Constitutional interpretations go, in your opinion what have I posted to make you believe I tend to lean towards the more conservative side?Your interpretation on the second amendment says other wise.

Hey, is anyone here still up for Devil's Advocate? I really wanted that idea to come through and I think it would be fun, but not enough people seemed interested.We have had increased activity. Though, It's kind of sad that the contest was kind of a dud.
Just follow through with the rewards/stuff, simply because people like Riddle, Kazoo, and Adumbrodeus(lol at your thread) took the initiative to create a topic.
They worked for it.

Well, unless Zero or EE feel like going through the three or four people who entered, I do not have the time to actually go through the posts and award points. Had there been more (I was honestly expecting 10 people at the least) I would have done this one a weekly basis, but I believe it was 2 people the first week, then no one else until this week.What do you guys all think of my (lol taking credit for Miggz's idea) idea about posting a bunch of topic ideas in this thread and getting peoples opinions on them and then creating a thread about the one with the most dissent. I'm probably going to make a standardized test thread soon and it should have some good debates.
I agree with Mewter some people took the initiative and put the time and effort into being more active and so you should follow through with the rewards. Positive reinforcement is good and not following through just encourages people not to become active.

I'll revive the old thread; that is if I can find it. *GASP*Please go through with it.
I'm starting to like playing devil's advocate. :D
If I had to pick a party to affiliate with myself, I would most likely pick the Libertarian party.And I thought you were libertarian RDK, lol.
Sounds neat. Apply for Temp status so I can add you to the room to do this for a while, as well.RDK are you ever on aim? because I have your SN added you should get on. Also for about a week I had a thing going on where i would find articles and rant about them, usually this would open up debates and people could discuss current events.
If I can get more people to help me with this as i"m only one person and I think it would be cool if say CK or RDK did a piece as well as me we could get a more broad opinion on current events. I'm sure most people would get tired of a progressive ranting about **** especially since progressives are just a bunch of pansies now a days anyway =(
What room? the PG I'm already in the PG.Sounds neat. Apply for Temp status so I can add you to the room to do this for a while, as well.
To be entirely honest, I'd say this contest failed if only 3 people entered. Imagine if four or five people entered a WWYP contest... well, only three slots can "place" so it's not that much of a challenge or accomplishment.
Once again, I'd like to point out that the contest was a means to an end. This was supposed to be a ceremonious rejuvenation of the Hall, not group of people so small it barely qualifies as a handful competing for a custom title.
Thanks to all who entered, but it looks like this contest just failed. Hopefully after we let more people in we can re-roll this contest with some fresh meat injected.
So, you pretty much just entered for the rewards? That was exactly why I didn't call it a contest. The whole point was to stimulate activity in the room, which this failed to do - miserably.What would you lose by giving someone a custom title and pseudo-mod status in the PG? If you didn't follow through with the rewards you would lose confidence in the contest and probably cause people to not enter, because last time the winners didn't get a reward.
