SRC Elections 2005 (3 Viewers)

[withoutaface]

Oh waf, youre such a tardwhore. And yes, it is extremely hypocritical to suggest that left-wingers are selfish. Youll find left-wingers have a much broader idea of social, economic ad environmental issues than many right-wingers generally, no not merely sheep in any fashion dissimilar to that of any particular faction. And why do you imply that only young people are lefties. Come to the economic and business faculty and youll find that not only are the majority of students lefties, but so are the majority of lecturers and tutors. Why? Because the intellectual left have always held power within university institutions in much the same way as they do in the US, just be thankful that the intellectual left/conservative government paradox is not as pronounced here. Yet, though Nelson is actively seeking to change that.

To imply that lefties are the only people guided by selfishness is not only false but a sad inditement of a broader view of the left among right-wingers. It is likewise implausible to argue that the right are misrepresented in any form differently to how the left are misrepresented among the right. Obviously, if you are arguing against someone you will try to improve your argument by denigrating the opponent, though, this is true of both sides of the political/social spectrum.

By arguing that students a prepositioned to either side of the political spectrum; you are not only labelling the student body as a whole incapable of forming their own views, but also underhandedly stating your own superiority by not falling into the same leftist enviro-bin as everyone else. Your ignorance is noted.

Left wing views among university students tend to be the ones which, if implemented, would fulfil more of the students' selfish desires at the present time. I did not say that left wing views in broader society were selfish, nor did I imply only young people are lefties, though I did imply that there was a larger proportion of outspoken lefties in university than outside of it. I agree that the misrepresentation of the left exists within the right, but how many students go out of their way to access far right wing media? These same students are exposed to propaganda from such far left groups as the socialist alternative five days a week, and as such the misrepresentation of the right has a far larger effect than the misrepresentation of the left.

The intention of my post was not to denigrate the left, but merely an attempt to explain why we see ten times more socialists in university than we do outside of it. If you would like to offer an alternative explanation I would be happy to read it.

hugz and kissz,
waf

...Right well that makes a lot of sense .

You have made stupid, generalised comments and then tried to pretend that you had some reasoning behind it. You haven't - you are just as much of a "sheep" as anyone else in this thread.

You have admitted that you don't want a liberal SRC because the policies appeal to you or are more justified but because the "majority of uni students follow labor policies...these losers seem to think that if u follow the majority "I'm cool". pfffft".

I stand by the sentiments I expressed in my deleted comments.

like i said before, if YOU are not in the majority of labor students who "follow the majority coz they think you're cool", then why are you getting so offended?

your opinion that i have made "stupid generalised comments" is your opinion, and frankly i don't care - and i dont expect you to care about my opinion either.

on another note i do want there to be a liberal SRC, coz i follow the liberal party - thanks for concluding eitherwise.

i stand by the sentiments ive ever expressed as well.

I havnt been following this thread but are you somehow implying that Liberal's are liberal or should be so?

Its not rocket science.

Generally liberal is used as being the opposite to conservative.

The Liberal (big L) Party is considered a Conservative party. The Labor Party is considered more liberal (small l).

God, i really do hope that grk_styl didnt need that information in order to form an opinion.

I don't know, but considering a conversation I had with a friend recently, I felt it needed to be said.

Yeah, i got the the feeling he/she was our of their depth which was why i asked for clarification.

 

[grk_styl]

if we're gonna be picky about spelling, punctuation and grammar, then i suggest you change "our" to "out".

Um, what I (or jellybeenz) stated has nothing to do with grammar or punctuation. "Liberal" does not mean the same thing as "liberal".

Oh my, you really are quite stupid.

 

[grk_styl]

well then if we're talking about a "liberal src" with a lower case l, then wikiwiki, i never implied that.

i said i wanted a Liberal src. and if i ever did type it with a lower case l, then yes, it was out of internet habit,

heaven knows why im explaining myself.

and yes absolution, i really am that stupid.

Considering she hasn't been capitalising at the start of sentences and only capitalises for emphasis it is quite clear what she meant, as can be seen earlier when she used "labor" instead of "Labor".

If you really want to get into it, attack the repeated spelling of "Labor" as "Labour" by various members.

thats not the point. labor is quite evidently the Labor Party. Liberal and liberal are quite different and make thing uninterpretable.

meh.
