Yep, I took the political exam in the other thread and was labeled a Centrist.  Go figure!

With all you guys claiming to be middle of the road, I'm amazed at the amount of pro republican and anti democrat content that's posted on this board. Where's it all coming from? I think we need a head count. Who here claims to be a staunch card carrying republican?

So you are missing all the pro democratic and anti-Trump rhetoric?  In my case, I just like to keep a balance.

No, not at all. The people posting the pro democratic and anti Trump stuff have no problem owning what they are, it's only the republicans on this board that like to hide behind the "middle of the road" tag.

I am not a Republican by nature. I have voted Libertarian in the last 2 Presidential elections . I just thought that it was too important to keep she who walks behind the corn out of office

Believe it or not, I wasn't referring to you on this one. I do think you are more MOR than some of the others here that make that claim.

I don't remember ever not owning the fact that I am anti-socialists which pretty much fits with my economic outlook.  MOR means a lot of different things to different people.  I am all for gay marriage, but do I think the government should punish someone that for whatever reason does not agree with that view?  Absolutely not.  Is that MOR, who knows.  The main reason I tend to sound more Right politically is that I am all for reducing government and getting it out of our lives and businesses, this used to be a DNC vs GOP view, but now days, the GOP members in Washington are just as bad the the DNC members.

Ummm it pretty much matches the headline word for word. Slow day in Bill's world today?

Searching for gas, and sampling gas are two different things.

 

The title implies they are unsure if Uranus has gas, so they are going to probe it to look.

 

The actual text seems to state that we know Uranus is full of gas, but we want to take samples of it to understand what it is.

So sorry they misused probing versus searching. That was a terrible mis justice

Sigh...

 

They misused searching, not probing. Title could have been they want to probe Uranus to sample its gas.

Sounds like someone could use a good probing.
