I have a question for the right wing:

Just how much degrees (celcius) ARE you okay with the earth warming? :unsure:


For some freaking reason, this whole debate gets presented as if it's something people on the left want. But I'm pretty sure that IF the climate spirals out of control, we will all either die or be worse off. So with the scepsis of scientists as taken for granted (or is it? It's often presented as if people on the right side distrust science, but I honestly don't know for sure :unsure: )...just how many degrees do YOU think is smooth sailing?

Depends on who you talk to. A lot of conservatives have warmed up (pun) to the idea that global warming is real.


They Love Money and Spin Bullshit for Praise.

This, 100%.

It's a corporatist hellhole specifically because it is a free market and corporations can do whatever they want to choke out competition. Stop pretending like CEOs would give out pay raises from the goodness of their hearts if the government would just let them. That's already allowed and it isn't happening. Best you'll get is a pay raise from places like Amazon, and then a discontinuation of bonuses and holiday pay to balance out the raise. Corporations are not loyal to workers any more, they haven't been since the 50s or 60s. Nor do they care about finding the 'best' people for the job, everybody is replaceable.

It's true. Capitalism might as well just be called Corporatism at this point. Or you can put it how my grandpappy used to: "Capitalism these days is nothing more than the worship of capital (money)."

Every country in the world is capitalist. The Soviet Union is capitalist. They have large capital which is controlled by the state.

The differences from country to country is who controls the capital.

Not all countries that is capitalist has freedom. Countries that don’t have Competitive Capitalism has the bad qualities you’re talking about. But countries that have freedom has capitalism.

That we should trust science over a book that incorrectly states that our planet is just 6000 years young. Both sides agree on that.





Oh fucking wait.
Gross mischaracterisation of the religious right. No sane person treats the Bible literally, those who do belong in mental institutions. The Bible is a set of prescriptions to have a good life, it's a collection of moralistic stories that are supposed to help people in decision making, and it's good enough to have survived a 2000+ year long test of time. Much of it is out of date contemporarily, which is why you have to treat it with some reason and common sense, but overall it's a pretty good recipie for a successful life.

The Left Perspective = There is no GOD only government that is god.

The Right Perspective = GOD is real and we kill in his name and for you to give us money in his name.

Your Both F***ing Wrong!

Get rid of politics section on GBAtemp. This should be a gaming centric site.
Or prevent it from showing up in the recent content. At least give people the option to hide it. I don't mind politics, but I do understand why people who go to a gaming site, do not want to see politics. Some detest politics, and use gaming as an escapism.

absolutly nothing cause some right extremeist tried to kill multiple democrats today.....and you can point you fingers at one man for inciting such violence (he may have even had something to do with it indirectly)

The investigation just started. I can tell you another thing Left and Right agree on and that is they believe without a doubt the other guy did it. I have yet to decide for myself based on speculation or accusation. Even so, the party that the culprit(s) affiliate with will still believe the other guy set this up. Just like they did with James Fields when they said he was being chased by left wing attackers as the reason he plowed into that crowd. Extremism has no place in society.

So you mean to say that a Bernie Sanders supporter *didn't* shoot a bunch of people at the 2017 Congressional Baseball Game, including Steve Scalise? Six people were injured, including one person who was evacuated in critical condition. Something must be wrong with my memory, I must've imagined that this happened.
