Political science.

Name: Anonymous 2008-03-06 10:06

I'm not into ideologies and such faggotry. I prefer rational objective proper empirical methods into deducing what decisions are/were best. Not just in ordinary applications but also socially unacceptable instances, for instance I prefer not to define enemies as the ultimate evil as some view Osama Bin Laden and Hitler, I view them for what they are and I do the same with all other controversial subjects. I get the impression many are offended by my objectivity since they fear that someone who delves so deep into their opponent's ideals may be convinced by them, I am often mistaken for a naive idiot but in truth I merely seek to understand what makes such people tick.

>>10 It is profound, just not to people whom the truth in this subject holds any use.
>>11 Perhaps post implied I am a moral relativist, but that is not the case.
