... I'm a man of wealth and taste. Just kidding. I'm a 44 year old Metis Canadian male living in Vancouver, B.C. The user name Dirty Rotten Imbecile is from the punk/thrash crossover band of the same name and is not intended to suggest I am a troll. I am, however, always looking to test claims for validity including and especially my own and I believe that it is important to treat everyone with respect, especially in an online forum. I love science, philosophy and politics but I'm no expert regarding any of it. I typically post at the Metallica.com forums because I love Metallica but they have regretfully decided to eliminate their heated discussions section due to people disrespecting each other too often. Am I a liberal or a conservative? Well I have a particular distaste for labels that immediately polarize people based on assumptions about what those labels mean.
Welcome. The smartest people are hard to label - and they know they are not very smart. Pick some active threads and start sharing your thoughts. Good luck
