    Your cite pointed out that we are a mixed economy. And, I pointed that out, too. We use socialized solutions for cases where capitalism is not going to solve the problem that needs to be solved.

    That does not indicate the existence of some group of any size where members of that group are interested in not being a capitalist nation.

    Divide the number of party members by the population of the USA.

    And, please post your math.

    There is a heck of a lot of bigotry in the so-called holy books.

    Atheism isn't based on any fact. That's one of the smokescreens of atheism. Besides, atheists continue to believe in things (other than things related to organized religion) not based in fact like bigfoot, aliens and that racism is the most heinous reason why blacks can't make it in America, for examples.

    I agree. There's also a whole lot of bigotry in atheism...Note: I'm agnostic.

    Yeah, Maher's a left libertarian...Maher's literally against capitalism. Which means Maher's for liberty (his conservativism) and against capitalism (his lefty political nature and his utter hatred for the capitalist Trump). If Maher were a right libertarian, he may not love Trump but he would appreciate Trump since Trump is somewhat conservative - Well, Trump is more conservative than any other president we've had since Reagan, IMO, so that conservative declaration of Trump is relative to other presidents we've had in the last 30 years or so.

    EDIT: Actually, Maher must now be in somewhat of a quandary over his allegiance towards Biden after Maher has realized Biden in his short time as president has shown to actually be more of an authoritarian (not a lover of personal liberty as Maher is, er, the opposite of Maher in that regard)...There's still that burning hatred Maher has towards capitalism and consequently towards Trump.:roll:

    Your post is abject nonsense. Traditionally speaking over eons of political history, a righty was partial to capitalism and a lefty was partial against capitalism.

    I try very hard to choose my words carefully and I have little patience for someone who responds without reading what I've actually written. Consequently, I seldom repeat myself .... so read my words again in quotes. If you still don't understand what I've written then don't bother responding because I won't reply. :below::below::below::below::below::below::below::below::below:

    Atheism cannot be grouped with agnostic.
    atheism is NOT based in fact, however agnosticism IS based in fact.
    atheists cannot PROVE God does not exist is a FACT any more than theists cannot prove God exists is a FACT
    atheism is based in faith same as theism.
    agnostics prove that neither atheists nor agnostics can prove their positions.
    agnostics deal in FACT, not atheists, sorry

    Why do you even bother bringing up ONE PERSON???

    That doesn't help your argument in any way.

    This is just plain nonsense. There is NO element of rationality in your argument, including what you post here.

    Your posting point was that everyone loves or at least tolerates capitalism...I just proved you wrong. I mean, all progressives and some left libertarians (there are more left libertarians than just Maher who hate capitalism, ya know:roll:) despise capitalism...By classic political definition of lefty and righty, the despisers of capitalism are far lefties...All progressives and Maher for examples.

    Tell the groups of organizations who've existed for a long time making a profit on the Internet by asking a participant a bunch of questions about the participant's preferences on how the gov't should distribute goods and services, for example, to determine the participant's righty or lefty propensity, for example.

    Tell the organizations who've made money for many years by charting the political nature of a participant that the charting organizations are charlatans.:roflol:...You're the one who's misinformed.

    EDIT: This is the dawning of the age of misinformation.

    Oh no no!
    Its always been that way!
    Guvmints will do anything to secure power!
    ALL guvmints become despotic tyrants over time, its a undeniable political fact.
    Give them an inch and in 20 years they took a mile.
    Eventually they strip you of everything.
    For the moment its just a little easier to bust them.
    That ability (to force accountability) is rapidly being subverted and those leaks will be plugged.
    There are cameras on every corner tracking you and nothing tracking them, an unquestionable playing field advantage!
    But then lets not forget, add that to a country of politically retarded people who are more interested in their 'party' perpetuating this social disaster we have all grown to love and enjoy!

    “None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”
    ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) German writer, statesman

    LOL - you did not do ANYTHING of the kind.

    Remember that you have to divide the number you find with the population of the USA.

    Have you done your division yet?

    If you want to claim there is some noticeable constancy that doesn't like capitalism then you have to:

    - identify how many there are

    - divide by the population of the USA.

    No "I" do not.
    you do, since you claimed that its 'statistically' close to zero with out posting any data, and since all statistics require data please let us have the pleasure of seeint your supporting data for that statement. Unless of course you were just making it all up? You werent were you?

    Agnostics are sceptics.

    Atheism can certainly be grouped with Agnostic.

    Agnostics cannot provide empirical evidence that god exists.
    Atheists cannot provide empirical evidence that god exists.
    Agnostics and atheists form a group that cannot provide empirical evidence that god exists.

    There I did it

    I can do it some more:

    Agnostics cannot provide empirical evidence that God does not exist.
    Atheists cannot provide empirical evidence that God does not exist.
    Agnostics and atheists cannot provide empirical evidence that god does not exist.

    Agnostics and atheists are also different:

    Agnostics only consider empirical evidence regarding the existence of god
    Atheists consider empirical evidence AND rationalism regarding the existence of god
    Agnostics and atheists do not agree whether rationalism provides a valid consideration regarding the existence of god or not.

    Agnostics only have doubt.
