My parents are very left wing. If I even told them I thought republicans were right, it would be like I was coming out to them. Now I haven't formed a concrete political stance yet, and my parents know that. Luckily they've left me alone about it, but recently, my dad came up with the idea to force me to watch these 2 movies that he said would change my life. I've looked them up, and both movies are strong anti-iraq war documentaries.
The movies are: "The Ground Truth", and "Body of War". Now all the people who said good things about the movies are obviously left wing, and praise it as an eye-opener. All the people who say bad things about the movie are obviously right wing, and call it propaganda.
I don't want to just close off democratic views, but I wanna be open to both sides, so I was wondering if there were any documentaries/movies that leaned more towards right wing ideals instead of ham handed commie circle jerks.

Does not compute.
Why not find something not biased to either side?
You can't be open to both sides.
You're either a commie
or a nazi
Your parents are right, listen to them.
I'd just like to point out this ad at the bottom of the screen:

Hi, I'm a minarchist/anarchist who favors direct grassroots or decentralized democracy and a mutualistic economy.
Too far left?
[QUOTE=Zeke129;16850802]Does not compute.[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure he's saying he's only been fed leftist bullshit and wants some conservative stuff.
Oh yes, because you're not bias at all. The biased people are those communist fucknuggets and their liberal left wing propaganda.

Two wrongs don't make a right.
Or, should I say, a left and a right don't make a center.
If only all these weird movies were fair and balanced like fox news is

So he doesn't actually want to know the correct position, he just wants propaganda in equal servings?
Yeah, that's a great fucking game plan.

Hi, I have broad political views that don't fit into a cookie-cutter label that oversimplifies politics and turns everyone into a babbling idiot. (Not you, just in general)

Crazy Dems.
Good for you, I wish more people around here were open to both sides.

Because there is a correct position.

So let's push him in the direction of The Young Turk.

Oh, I know. Though, I just use the terms as a way to give a quick overview into my beliefs and outlooks.
Plus it's easier, than going into extreme detail. Especially with the idea of a state-less society.

Oddly enough, reality is a rather definite thing, and it does in fact consist of verifiable facts. I've also been told that when these facts are put together, you can even tell how things work and why.
I know it's a complicated concept, but you have to believe me.

When you favor a state-less society you had better be ready to go into detail to justify it.
I really don't know if there are any conservative-sided documentaries on the Iraq War.
Since your parents are left-wing, I'm assuming they're anti-gun.
Try this, it's all I got right now.

I've never heard of one either. That's why I corrected my typo before you made that post.

That's idiotic.
Opinions cannot be right.
Therefore there is no correct position because politics revolve around opinions.

I've learned this multiple times before. But, even when I tend to bring up a decent, and non-hostile defense, people tend to shy away from it.

If Sam Tilgan is the base of your arguments, it's best you just accept defeat and agree with your parents right now and save the breath.

Hey, I'll hear you out. I just can't see anarchy working in any society with more than forty people.
