Do you have a circle of political/social allies here that you can count on to have the same/similar pov, and/or to support you in a discussion?
Alternatively, are there different areas of debate where you find that yesterday's ally is today's adversary?
Both.
Or, as PH would say, "some sort of back?"

On any issue that's been debated several times before, the sides have already been delineated pretty well.
If I do, they are cowards

There are posters I agree with more often, such as Arrian and LordShiva. If I'm in a faction, I don't know about it.
No, not really. I have no consistent allies, I fly all over the map depending on the issue.

You're not in a faction, Lorizael.
See, someone cares enough about you to know whether you are in a faction or not. This may be because you regularly hint at private psychopathic desires to take over the world and introduce your own dictatorship.
WTF Lorizael? LordShiva has opinions, other than hating hippies? Please post details ....Originally posted by Lorizael

Nope. Factions are for tools.

There aren't many factions on Poly, just an increasing amount of self-parody that's making it less interesting. Needs new blood, basically.

Or the old blood here cold step up and say something genuinely interesting, dv8ed.

Why should I (or anybody else, for that matter) when the responses are so predictable? It makes for dull theater. Don't get me wrong, there are areas that I think the people here could get into and really say something interesting, it's just that most of the posters are so preoccupied playing their characters that they don't really engage.
