If you've ever played any of the Civilization games you'll know you micromanage things to death. It doesn't surprise me too much that a forum for it would have a poll that detailed.

"Ron Paul's foreign policy is too interventionist 12 (votes) 12.50% "

lol.

Are they true isolationists or just idiots?

I think there is a mix in there.

"WHY DO THEY INSIST ON CALLING HIM DOCTOR"?!?!?

i'll give you a hint:


HE IS A DOCTOR U DUMB FUXS!

[Eric21ND]

Wow I go there from time to time and never seen anything for RP. Civilization is a great game btw.

[Rothbardian Girl]

LMFAO, I actually signed up for this forum a few weeks ago... I didn't know there were so many complete idiots on it.

"Why the hell do all of his cultists insist on calling him "Dr." Paul? "

Because he's a doctor...*punch in the face

I don't post much, but I had to stop reading those forums before the amount of stupid gave me an aneurysm.

It's beginning to look like this race will go to the side that shows the greatest courage in the face of overwhelming stupid.

You've got to consider the audience here: they're people who play Civilization. Civilization is a game of micro-managing. It's no wonder many don't believe the market is able to work on its own or that people wouldn't all commit suicide without the government. Their interest in the game, as well as their political beliefs, are likely influenced by the same factors.

I know, damn us for having respect for someone... I've called a few people "Mr" who are doctors and some corrected me. I've learned my lesson.

Why do people insist on calling us cultists? I don't even have my membership card! :(

[libertybrewcity]

It looks like we're screwed everyone..the forum has 214k members. We only have 30k. Their site is dedicated to a video game.

[afwjam]

I started reading that thread and then gouged my eyes out with a spoon.

[Zarn Solen]

I've been a member since 2002. Some of the older members know me quite well.

I only visit it every once in a while, now. Although, when I was active on and off, I accumulated over 10,000 posts. I'm not proud of that.

"Considering that he is a libertarian, that generally means bad news to the rest of us. The current financial mess is a result of libertarian nonsense and I would not want to see that go any further. Thankfully most of the world rejects this nonsense of a political philosophy"

"I don't think he means to blame any particular Libertarian, but the delusion that so many Libertarians subscribe to: Austrian Economics. What got us into the current crisis was the idea that if we deregulate the markets, and leave them to their own devices, everything would automagically turn out alright."

"The man's worldview is based on crank economists from the Seventies, yet he routinely violates his own principles whenever the shrimp farmers back home are feeling light on cash. His brilliant solution to the problem of terrorism was to suggest recruiting mercenaries to hunt down Bin Laden. He wants to roll back every governmental institution and custom that has made post-war America great. Who on earth decided this fellow would make a good president?"

Welcome to the forum, so to speak!

[Zarn Solen]

It is definitely liberal group think over there.

I would say something. Someone would challenge it. I would explain it. Then I need to explain it about twenty more times with numerous insults coming my way. Wonder why I do not post there, anymore?

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

Lul I loved the people who criticize him without any basis whatsoever. If they are so intelligent, why aren't they running for president themselves? Secondly, how could they actually support anyone other than RP?

[Bern]

What % of their forum membership is even of legal voting age?

[Zarn Solen]

A lot of them are quite young. You are supposed to be 13 to register, IIRC. However, a few younger register as well.

A huge part of them are European.

[Bern]

Thanks. I figured it was something like that. I can't imagine a large percentage would be working family peeps.
