Correct. The only bad news about this for me is I have to actually start making these up on my own again. =\WINNERS (and LOSER)===============penguinman - IErachima - IPostmaxanator - - MCMXISTANDINGS========1. penguinman - 102.

[pengu]

anarchist is trying to topple govt/ doesnt believe in it, necessitarian is a person who advocates or supports necessitarianism, which is the doctrine holding that events are inevitably determined by preceding causes.so... how about free choice? or just choice?

[Hadel]

I was thinking free will or libertarianism, so you were close enough.WINNERS (and LOSER)===============penguinman - IErachima - IPostmaxanator - - MCMXISTANDINGS========1. penguinman - 112. Erachima - 33. Seashairo - 13. DeadRevenger - 1sonnet:fourteen::villanelle:_____

[pengu]

i should know this... radical? its a left and right wing thing...or revolutionary i suppose.

[Hadel]

Not really. Those could apply to either side. Also, revolutionary is usually associated with the left. There's another term for the far far far right...

[pengu]

hang on, just for my personal understanding, are you saying that communist = fascist, and liberal = conservative? im just trying to understand.

[Hadel]

Heh, good thing that last exchange happened.

[Hadel]

Yep. Lucky guess. I was thinking one of the main 4 characters in the respective shows who couldn't seem to get along with the others most of the time and was, well, fat.Newman was another close call, but he is not one of the main 4 in Seinfeld.WINNERS (and LOSER)===============penguinman - IErachima - IPostmaxanator - - MCMXISTANDINGS========1. penguinman - 112.
