Moderates Moderately Use Moderate Religion

[Paddington]

They hate talking and listening. They are thinking about something else the whole time that you are talking. They temper all of their own words, because they don't think you are worth the time.
Also, they are going to forget everything 15 minutes from now when they sneak in a hot pretzel break.

In my experience moderates usually exist out of this lame desire to "be fair" and "bring balance between the extremes". There are some who notice the subjectivity of the definitions of "conservative" and "liberal" and just refuse to identify with either one, but I find for the most part they tend to fall into the former group.

Moderates may be the life of the party, but I see through their shenanigans. Unlike most of you here, I'm ready to actually do something about it. (Faith without works is dead.)

I challenge all moderates everywhere to an iron cage match. Or a ladder match. Take your pick. I'll just need a couple months to get ready physically and mentally. I haven't picked out a trainer yet or anything. You can't be hiring any fat, old grouch with a towel on his shoulder. There has to be something extra about them. Ya know, like their mystique. Something like that. Nevermind, I can tell that I've lost you.

Anywho...Maybe some cute moderate chicks will change their tune when they see me standing victorious.

When's the match to be, Fuzzball?

Except moderates would waste so much time finding some sort of middle ground between an iron cage match, and a ladder match it would never happen.

In the 2 hours since I posted, not one moderate has come forward for the challenge.
I'm afraid this will be another duck-and-run like the moderates have perfected. Then the moderate media will cover for them with lies, half-truths and even some half-lies. They've all been brainwashed by the moderate propaganda machine. Not to mention they sin more which gums up their brain cells. But, I will continue to pray for them.

Then we will have to combine them. When I beat them at their own game, that will add a little extra sting!

It's not on anybody's thread. It's just that there was a liberal and conservative thread and I "felt led." Perhaps by Satan, but yea. I thought I was re-loggin on to apologize/save-face for trolling. Then I saw replies. Anywho...I'm done. Put a fork in me. I wish I had a mental pill to take. Maybe Advil PM will suffice. I still have to figure out if Daylight Savings is tonight because my cpu just told me that it was. It was changed wasn't it?

[Paddington]

Hi Rachael. Definitely not on your thread.

[Paddington]

Ah yes. Daylight Savings Time starts next week. My cpu clock will be wrong for just one week.

I'm a moderate and am late responding because I've just been out of town. Some would say that I am a fiscal conservative, and a social liberal. Moderate doesn't mean no opinion. I have opinions about everything. I consider picket lines one of my favorite past times. I'm just open minded enough to listen to what other people's opinions are, and strong willed enough to know things that there can be no compromise on. I really believe in the adage that I don't agree with you, but would fight to the death for your right to say it. Part of my moderation comes from over 1000 hours of mediation training and several thousand mediations performed. In the beginning all I wanted to do is knock their heads together and tell them what to do. Then I began to see to process work. I also firmly believe that our world is being torn apart by polarization and extremism.

Exactly. Being a moderate means having an opinion on everything, but not necessarily all the same kinds of opinions to be labled a liberal or conservative.

[Socrates]

Being "moderate" is overrated. Usually just means a liberal who's afraid to call himself one, or someone afraid to take a real stance.

You know what happens to the balls of the man who straddles the fence.
