Here's an interesting link; not in answer to the OP but more for the benefit of our European members, like myself. I do tend to steer away from the political and religious stuff hereabouts for fear of offending

Western Civilization? It's not like the EU is planning on preserving it.

Often I think that many people believe that conservatism means agreeing with them and anyone that does not share their opinion is, by definition, a liberal.

Or vice versa but you're just too liberal to see it.

I often argue and debate both sides just to confuse people. I also have two FB accounts and will use them to debate each other logically, like playing chess with myself. Often I choose the winner, just to prove the point I was after...

Ummm, The idea that you think you're surrounded is the problem.

It's OK man, really, just relax and you'll be fine. Some dead Greek guy once said holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other guy to die.
