Ron Paul supporter vs Occupy Wall Street liberal?

[Edabramov]

Hey guys. I was scrolling through some fan page and I've found this " debate " going on between I think is a Ron Paul conservative ( Red ), and OWS Liberal (Blue ). Who in your opinion makes more sense? I respect OWS exercising their right to protest, but do you think the " conservative " made a better point?

"You make basic arguments that doesn't really prove anything, just state the obvious."

Yet when pressed for specifics of occupy, he replies with "Economy, jobs, schools." As if those are things only Democrats want. I'm so sick of this partisanship and believing that people have the worst intentions simply because they disagree with the way it should be handled.

He tried to play it off as if he's taking the high road, yet he doesn't state any personal beliefs he has. Stupid.

If he was seriously trying to change this guy's mind, going the 'It's not in the constitution' or that it's 'unconstitutional' is not the way to go, because to anyone who believes in big government - 'liberal' or 'conservative' - if the constitution says something that stops them from doing what they want, they WILL start treating it like just a piece of paper no matter all those sympathetic noises they made toward the 1st and 4th amendments.

They'd have to give a damn about the constitution, first. If anything directly contradicts them in that document, they will write it up to having been drawn up by a bunch of backwards savages.

And he keeps harping on about 'You are a republican', 'We aren't in the same party'. This guy is Blue Team all the way and will simply regurgitate everything he hears from the rest of the Team. The only amount of thought he's put into what he thinks about OWS is color recognition.

Same thing I thought.

The image is right infront of you, no need for link.

Ah, just quoted it and realized there's a tinypic link embedded. It never loads for me.

Too all over the place for me. I like my debates to be neat and orderly. Numbering points, links, videos, whatever. Seem to be just stating what each person believes and not a real debate.

A lot of the OWS people seem to be protesting for the sake of protesting. If you ask somebody at a Ron Paul rally "what are you specifically protesting" they would say something like "To end the Federal Reserve system and replace it with a more sound monetary system" and if you ask an OWS person the same question they would say something like this guy "we want better jobs, education, economy" like they are the only people that exist in the country that want that. Just realize that the guy you are talking to is a complete narcissist. He'll blow off your argument because he attends class and pretend he's smarter than you. Just remember first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

The blue guy starts with
"kid, get out of highschool first"


Then goes on
"I'm not the same party as you are, so anything you say will have no effect on me"

Wow, he sounds like a big idiot and a total asshole
