    Right wingers are obsessed with common crime.

    I guess it's why they load up on AR-15s and shoot people who turn around using their driveways.

    Liberals are obsessed with killing babies.
    I guess its why the fight any limits on abortion.

    See how stupid generalizations are?

    Right here
    It’s a tough problem, because it feels really good to be told how stupid/evil is the other side. Of course, like many things that feel good, consuming this type of news isn’t good for us, but it’s hard to quit.

    I didn’t think you were dumb enough to believe that:
    1) I’m an extreme liberal
    2) I would follow extreme liberals overseas
    3) Extreme liberals are the types who might be expats.

    Just came back from Panama City and I can assure you the expat we met and showed the nightlife was not a “extreme liberal”.. he’s a guy living his best life which is very good indeed in Panama if you have a monthly budget of 10K and like a diverse culture and smoking hot Colombian and Venezuelan women.

    I’ll take your dumbness in to account in the future but just so you know I’m an affluent, left of center, elitist. If you are any one of those things you may very well find an expat life appealing especially if you like I have lived abroad before.

    Bottom line I don’t want to live in the shithole your ilk is building. Because I’m not stupid and don’t have to.

    It's stupid when someone makes a bad analogy for sure.

    Same exact thing. You just dont like being the one generalized with an unfair generalization.

    Hey man, only one of us is looking stupid here. Enjoy whatever ultra liberal destination you grace with your presence.

    Good point. I guess I should be thankful I never got hooked and should probably be more understanding of those that are. From the outside it's so obviously toxic to the individual and society that it's hard to imagine willful consumption. But perhaps, like any other addiction, it's a disease and should be treated as such?

    Yes, I believe there is merit to this way of thinking. I think I first heard this model in Arthur Brooks’ book Love your Enemies, and it’s changed my outlook a bit. I’ve also never been hooked (I think!), but I definitely get the occasional shot of dopamine from political stories, so I try to be mindful of those moments.

    Cute. I already live where I will live then. Bought my forever home in my early 40's and am fixing it up as we speak.

    Im not the one looking to run away with my tail tucked between my legs.

    Keep deflecting.

    It's a cult. It only ever ends with purple kool-aid or deprogramming.

    Irony doesn't really apply as this is exactly what one should expect visiting these areas.
