Your not the boss of me now
Dont put me in a box (special snwoflake)
Smart words: "cognitive dissonance", "confirmation bias" etc.

Examples of cool things to say itt:

"Here are my thoughts on the subject but i am open to the psosibility that i might be wrong"
"Both sides are as dumb as each other!!!"
"Wow ppl tend to form opinions based on emotion and then rationalize them after the fact *stroke chin contemplatively*"
"I don't know enough about the subject to form an opinion one way or the other!!"

This is a cool thread because on some issues I lean to the left, and on others the right. I think I am pretty centered.

Changing things in ways that makes life easier for others sounds good in theory, but have you considered that not doing so would be easier for me?

I do lots of LGBT outreach, actually. I just reached out to George Takei by liking his Facebook page, for example

it's possible that you are biased against nutella, perhaps because you've had bad experiences with nutella in the past. this might cloud your ability to consider the pros and cons of nutella objectively

I you want to have a calm and rational discussion about a topic of your choice I'd personally recommend the D&D subforum.

Centrists should practice what they preach and allow their bodies and brains to reach thermodynamic and electrical homeostasis ASAP

# ? Jan 14, 2017 20:41

As a compromise we will name the work camps after people who have been killed in them.

We need something like Democratic centralism so we can have a proper center.
