Oh I do [have to earn respect to have unsubstantiated opinion accepted], do I? lmfao...Sorry hon that boat left ages ago, sailed out past the harbor master filled up with shrimp and done come back to the dock to roost for the evening.

You flatter yourself.

In your opinion.

Whos opinion did you expect?

I will do you one better...look through the survey again yourself and see how may of the questions you can find that you think a liberal (which I am not btw) would find perhaps somewhat misleading or more importantly identify which answers to the questions that are incorrect or debateable.

As I mentioned in another post, I don't trust my own reactions as I was privy to the discussion as I read them. Also, I *really* don't know how liberals justify their thinking on most issues. I tend to focus on what I perceive as hypocrisy and can't get past that. That said, my best effort to respond to your request as if I were a liberal:
1)Mandatory licensing - I would answer "yes, but" -- a B but would probably enter E (half right/half wrong).
2)Standard of living - I would guess B but enter E (Unsure)
3)Rent control same as #1
4)Simple definition: D
5)Exploited workers: knee jerk, A but on reflection would honestly have to change it to E - Then with further reflection I would go with A again just to make a point.
6)Free Trade - E not sure
7)Minimum wage - Really want to disagree but logic would put it back to B (somewhat agree) - Would finally enter E with the justification that the question must be flawed.
8)Restrictions raising housing prices: Simple logic again gives an A or B, but I would justify that sometimes, somehow it wouldn't. Enter E

Only if the real meat of what we are talking about is ineed about fruit in general.

An easy slide by to avoid addressing a valid criticism.

Condemnation will just have to slide down my condescenting butt then like water from a ducks back.

Crude language (even though mild especially considering the vocabulary needed to participate in this particular forum) is rude. You have repeated gone out of your way to be rude and have confirmed that was your intention. Though I'm far from being immune myself, one of my pet peeves is the lack of civility when participating in a discussion. I'll attack your ideas, your premises, your qualifications, judgment, statements, etc. but if I'm rude about it I expect to be called on it so I can clarify, justify, and/or apologize. The fact that you are proud of being rude is disappointing considering how in other threads you show remarkable insight and compassion. But let someone disagree with you (or perhaps you just dislike... I've been told that my style is a bit caustic) and you no longer feel the need to be civil.

Thats why they invented these nifty things called questions ( you know, for when someone don't get sumthang) I believe. Isn't it?

[Rude sarcasm noted] I believe I have asked a fair number of questions and requested clarification/background several times with limited response. Personally, as a courtesy, I try to respond to all non-rhetorical questions and requests (even if it's just a note saying that I don't want to answer), but I can't force (or even expect) others to do likewise.
