I really don't see why we all can't just don some eyepatches, and move along on the matter.

MyTie, you seem to have a worrying ability to take any information you hear/read that you happen to agree with, and be unable to see any problems with it without being given proof, and then require others to be different whenever they disagree with you.
My opinion is that the government is spending too much money. Show me an article that explains they are spending too little.
Still waiting for that article im "ignoring" thronarr.

That's a nonsensical request, in as much as it's an impossibility. There is never going to be a time when someone is going to say "oh, you're spending too little".

Of course there would be.
What if we only spent a million a year towards curing cancer?
Wouldn't there then be complaints and articles relating to how much we're
not
spending?
I, for one, would complain that's too low of an amount to get anything done, and I'm sure others would too.
Relating to global warming, of course there are liberals out there demanding more money, telling the media we aren't spending enough and are going to die.
Hell, most articles
are
like that.
Liberals are always scrounging for money.
Its part of what they do.

HoleOfArt has got you here. There are plenty of articles on how we should spend more money on global warming fixes. I am just banking on the fact that thronnar is to lazy to google them.

The spending too much/too little argument is an opinion. I think they are spending too little on space exploration, and MyTie probably thinks they are spending too much.
It's a point-of-view argument that will never end. It isn't opinion. There are models that show how much can be spent on certain things. We are spending more money than we have. That is... to much.The people that make the budgets and decide where the spending goes are
probably
more educated on the needs and more familiar with the methods than a bunch of forum posters on a video game website.You're trust in outside forces who are 'more knowledgeable' than you is naive and disempowering to you. Just because we are common people doesn't mean we are incapable of finding the answers and holding legendary ideas. Do not simply trust that the powers that be are doing the right thing. They will line thier pockets at your expense, and spit on your trust, all while smileing for the camera and asking you to vote for them again.

I see your point Zaputo. I don't completely understand the financial models of this country. I should either trust the people in charge with my money, or go live on a deserted island, like you said.
Thanks for correcting the error of my ways.

also, what about people attempting to seem religious for votes, or people hyping their religious views for votes? what is your view on them? is this similar or dissimilar to what you see as people trying to seem green for votes?
People having some belief in SOMETHING is better than just voteing along party lines, which is the worst, however I don't see what religion has to do with politics. As I become more religious I find myself getting farther away from politics.
But you keep saying that I will only see my side of things, and that I am narrow minded. However, you don't quote where it is that I refuse to see something, or even discuss something. So, what specificially have I discounted. There is ONE thing: The government is spending too much money. In fact, the government is spending more money than it has. That isn't an opinion, like "Chocholate is good." That is a fact. Like if you go into the hospital after being in a car accident and the doctor says "We need to bandage you because you are loosing to much blood." Then you say "Well, that is a matter of opinion."
In fact, the government is economically bleeding this country dry.

Now that's unsupported. Government exists to spend.

You just said the other day that government 'produces' money.

Thronnar.... Let me spell this out for you
OPINION:
Chocholate tastes good.
FACT:
This government is spending too much money.
The second is not opinion, much like a doctor who said a person was losing too much blood in a car accident is not an opinion.

the government exists to help its people, this often costs money
Also, this... no. The government exists to
make and enforce laws
, not redistribute things owned by its citizens at a charge in the name of 'help' (scam anyone?).

and what is the purpose of laws? is it not to help people?No. It is to hinder people. Hinder them from murdering, etc.also, again, the government is spending too much money is still an opinion, you can't prove the government is spending too much money, you can prove they are spending money, and you can prove how much they are spending, but 'too much' is an opinion. The doctor that says 'you are losing too much blood' went to medical school for many years and has an opinion that I can safely trust. Also, he can back that opinion with facts such as 'losing more than 'x' amount of blood will kill you, and you have lost 'y' amount of blood, which is close to 'x' amount' or something like that, however, you, on the other hand, have no degree in economics and in fact, you have little to no formal training in economics whatsoever, so your opinion means little without strong supporting facts, and in my opinion none of the facts you have given so far have proven that we are spending too much money.Spending X amount of money will kill the economy, if X is greater than Y, and Y is the amount of money your country is capable of paying off with interest.
I figured that out and I'm not even a doctor!
