As John D'Oh said:

"Liberal" has a quite different meaning in Europe. It's meaning is close to "Liberatarian". The European equivalent of the American "liberal" is something like "social-democratic".

Hence it seems that you have shot yourself in the foot, Larry ;)

I think that the reason they do this in America is that they're terrified of the word 'socialism' and therefore the term 'social democrat' is verboten. Obviously, no American will admit that he wets the bed in blind terror at the mention of a word, what with them all being cowboys, ranch-hands, roughtie-tuftie firemen and other things that look like Village People members, but it's the plain truth.

As an English liberal, I wish they'd find another bloody word.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

They have. "Progressive". it seems that the word liberal has now become as toxic as socialist but it only makes liberals wet their beds in blind terror.

Aren't Progressives those annoying hysterical women who insure cars? I prefer that English gecko myself - he's much more sophisticated.

The gecko certainly is an improvement over those sodding cavemen.

That's classical liberalism, not modern liberalism. The word of choice modern liberals prefer today is "progressive".
Which do you think Nitzsche was talking about?
It doesn't matter. *I* started this thread, and *I* got to use it to take a poke at liberals. So *I* expect you to respect my right to use this for what I intended for it to be, and not do what you are doing, because if you keep doing what you're doing I will send you lots of nasty PMs calling you a homophobe and telling you to kiss my ass.

I do hope you are clear now on my intentions, and we can move on to other discussions and leave this moment of savagery behind us......


:D

Dude - you've been in the states too long.

That Gecko is an Aussie.
