Political/Philosophical leanings

[Geaux]

Howdy all. Doing a smidge of research, and thought this board would be a good sample of "Cigar smokers in the World".

Please don't make this a thread to argue finer points.

I am just looking for raw, anonymous data. 

 

Thanks!

Trouble...

I voted too but no comment...the trouble will follow in the comments.

I didn't vote.  I'm a nihilist.

I'm guessing that the results will mirror the demographic of middle aged males between 35 and 65.  Figuring that's most of us on this forum.  Apologies to the younger, and female members!

Oh Loart this is trouble! I give 2 hours before the dbaggery begins!

Tough to answer for me. Fiscally I'm far right. That said, I do think our my country's wealth could be better used to assist those in need of food, clothing, healthcare, housing, etc. Cut out the fraud and b.s. spending and we might be able to do far more.

@Ethernut you need to just calm yourself down--we're trying to keep this non-political!  If you wanna practice this so called "Dbaggery " and worship your "loart" take it somewhere besides here!    This is a cigar forum for cryin' out loud!

[mrwhitt]

@zeedubbya I hope you didn't take my post as anything other than expressing difficulty in answering the survey question. Like you, I prefer to keep this non-political.

 I'm a recovering Dbag... I no longer practice.. Mostly just an observer..

No sir I was trying to make a joke at  Ethernuts expense and you and I were both typing at the same time.  I am sure the mods on this forum will lock this down the second they see it becoming politically heated.

.....Or maybe they aren't watching and I can put up that "What's your favorite gun thread" I've always wanted to!!  More jokes, more jokes.

A political poll,  that ANYONE thinks won't BECOME political ? Ummm.......

I know it is hard to not talk politics in this thread. I appreciate the maturity here so far in keeping to the poll for the most part.  Wish I could have just started a poll with no option to comment... but I guess that wouldn't be a message board at that point.

I'm all over the spectrum. Most capital 'P' politics and politicians are so far removed from real life and real people as to make their existence weirdly detached. Local and personal politics are what matter. Who you vote for rarely changes much in the overall picture, they're just shades of ugly IMHO.

Intellectually I've always liked anarchy as the ideal, with everyone doing what they want but with due regard for others and the common good. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as has been proven again and again.

Trendy lefty, wishy washy, hippy liberal with a suppressed dose of indignant right wing reactionism is where I think I fit. Deal with it - I'll either hug you or kill you. Peace out.

No offense to you OP, but this subject matter really should be off limits, as it usually opens up a big can of worms that morphs into something ugly. Maybe consider something cigar related in the future. I don't expect this thread to last long.

Like an optimistic man falling off a mountain........"so far, so good".

Clever timing for this thread though. Most folks leave their axe at home at Xmas

F me.... that's like shagpile, with extensions.

[Sophistic]

I dont think these terms mean anything anymore, if they ever did in the first place. I'm for new regulations and i'm for abolishing regulations, i'm from increasing welfare and public investment in some some ways but i'm also mad that they even exist in other ways, i'm for mass immigration and for mass deportation and so on. 

[Geaux]

One last shameless bump.

I am hoping for at least 100 votes. If we don't get there no big whoop...
