So, something I've been wondering about for a while now...

It's not hard to suggest that most wrestling fans would classify themselves as Republicans. This may be a guess based on factless generalizations (don't point out to me factless isn't a word), but one I wager very heavily on.

So why is it such an overwhelming majority of the IWC and smarky marks are liberal? I've only known like 9 or 10 IWC guys to be conservative. In the words of Helms "What's up with that?"

My guess would be the majority of the people on message boards are of a younger demographic. If you were to poll everyone who was a fan of professional wrestling, you might get a more even spread.

I noticed you used the word Republican (not conservative) so age would have a big thing to do with it, not to mention all the students drooling over Obama while thinking the Germans were just idiots for electing Hitler, while likely doing the same thing(moving more and more to national socialism)

I think a big factor is that there is really one person in charge of both parties, and they've picked the dems to be in charge. People who watch wrestling are likely to be watching TV and buy into this whole two party shame.

What the hell are you talking about? Hitler wasn't elected directly by the German people. He lost the 1932 Presidential election to Hindenburg. The Nazi Party never received over 50% of the vote in Reichstag elections. They had to form a coalition government with smaller parties. And Hindenburg only reluctantly appointed Hitler as Chancellor because he had just dismissed the previous chancellor after about a month in office. He put Franz von Papen as Vice Chancellor in order to "control" Hitler.

And then after the Reichstag burnt down, Hitler came out on "Die Nacht wurde die Linie gekreuzt" (The night the line was crossed) and ordered that they "Halten Sie die verdammte Musik auf" (Cut the fucking music). He then proceeded to throw down the flag of the Weimar Republic and declared the Nazi flag as the national flag of Germany.

I think I read that Republicans were anti-computer because the internet was offensive to Jesus or something like that. So yeah that would explain the bias.

I'm aware of history...

He recived full power based on their being a threat to the homeland. After having burnt his own parliment to a crisp.

Both major parties in the states for the most part are anti internet and are trying to take it away from the people.

I have heard this as well. Barack Obama recently issued a statement saying that if a bill was passed that said there would be "no more internet" he would sign it immediately.

The internet is a double edge sword in my opinion.

I mean, I wouldn't have been exposed to anywhere near as much art music and information without it. It is like having the worlds biggest jukebox and the worlds biggest library in your house. And that couldn't be better. It has also played a big role in my career. Without software, patch and sample downloads, I wouldn't have learned how to record and produce music, or DJ without 1000's invested in hard equiptment. And without it being widely used, attracting work would be 100 times harder. I'd have to leave the house more often than not for a start!

On the other hand, it is full of false information which stupid people will believe, and full of viruses and other shit that fucks up your computer, thus restricting you from using the tool you rely so heavily upon for periods of time. And that's shit.



I think the majority of smarks are jobless, or in college.... You only become a Republican when you can afford it.

Liberals are generally more likely to use the internet, especially in the older demographics.

LOL. The amount of white trash that IDs as Republican disagrees with that.
