You're saying most people think that the income of the rich doesn't really belong to them?
And you object to being called "fringist"?
:lamo
Between this, the "Islam isn't a real religion," and the militant veganism, dude, you're about as fringe as it gets. :rofl
The "view of the independent," indeed.
I don't have to say it. The polls already have.
As for "Islam isn't a real religion", that's been said by billions of people around the world for 1400 years. What else is new ? The latest and most prestigious group to say it (link included) is the all-star writer cast of The Center for Security Policy's new book >
"Shariah : The Threat To America".
They are :

And here's a copy paste from 2 different pages of the book where they say it :
On page 30 >
"Today, we are facing an internal threat that has masked itself as a religion (my emphasis) and that uses the tolerance for religious practice guaranteed by the Constitution’s First Amendment to parry efforts to restrict or prevent what amount to seditious activities".
Again, on Page 229 (and the title of Chapter 7) >
"THE U.S. AND WESTERN VULNERABILITIES
TO A THREAT MASQUERADING AS A RELIGION.............229"

As for the militant veganism, those are your words not mine. I'm not really militant about being a vegetarian, but if all vegetarians were "fringe", that would be a heck of a good fringe.
