I've noticed that as a general rule, more 667ers identify themeselves as liberal than as conservative. I wonder why this is. Are Lemony Snicket fans mostly liberal? Do liberals go online more often, and are they more willing to discuss their views? Discuss the possible reasons in a five-paragraph essay.

I think most conservatives keep quiet 'cause liberals like to name call and gang up on you. Its not much a debate when theres 5 6 liberals ganging up on you.

Certainly possible; it's said that people get more conservative as they get older. But we have some conservatives that are younger than some of the liberals, so I guess it depends a lot on the person and their upbringing and so on.

Yes, we're a bloodthirsty bunch. Especially pacifists like me.
It wouldn't be surprising if most Snikcet fans were liberal. I think it could also have something to do with the ages of most people on the board.
And also, Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die. I know I'm supposed to be serious in DD but I'm watching it right now and he caught the six fingered man.

Remember how Sunny refers to Olaf with the term "Busheney" in TSS, and it means "you are an evil man with no concern for other people"? I loved that.

I think most conservatives keep quiet 'cause liberals like to name call and gang up on you. Its not much a debate when theres 5 6 liberals ganging up on you. I hate you. A lot. But, that has nothing to do with my being liberal or not. I have mostly liberal views, but I refuse to commit to one set affiliation. I am nothing. So, really, Dr. Suess, there was only one "liberal" that called you names, and that was because you weren't respecting other's (I.E. my) beliefs, and I am very thankful for it. You said something you shouldn't, we slapped your wrists a little, get over it, don't do it again, now will you please stop whining about it? It's not like we're going to apologize. You said something you shouldn't have. Why should we apologize? Because we hurt your feelings? I'll apologize for that, but you have to understand that you insulted me more than I insulted you.

I have views as well, and that was one of my views. I have been called a "asshole" by about 4/5 liberals, and now to add to the list, you said you "hate me" lol.

I'm sorry if you consider that an insult. 4/5? I haven't even seen five liberals who insulted you, let alone called you that. It wasn't one of your views. It was a direct assault on my beliefs. I'll quote it, just so everyone can see... I apologize for saying Catholic is smuk, but you seriously need to find a new church. Catholic churchs are slowly going down.............the molesting? Allowing gay marriage, ect. Now...do you think a nice person, a tolerant person, would say this? No. And, what's the opposite of a tolerant person? An asshole. You certainly could have put it a better way. And, I'm sorry, but you pretty much deserved to be called an asshole. Now, can you just get over it?

Aye, Alice! I agree with what you said, although Seuss hasn't attacked me personally. I have been called a "asshole" by about 4/5 liberals At least you haven't been insulted by a whole liberal ...only by 80% of one. Maybe it was Seuss's plan, in his first post, to get the liberals angry so they would strike back at him and he could say "see? liberals like to name-call and gang up. lol".
