I've never listened to a speech, sermon, quote, etc... from either of them.
My beliefs are my own, backed by logic and reason upon looking at a choice.
(though I suppose using the old parrot theme makes it easier for you to discredit a person's views without addressing them.)

i respect your opinion SS. i just dispise your spoonfed talking points based on nothing more than lies. i'd be thrilled to see you formulate an opinion on your own with regards to government policy
Originally posted by sithsaber408Oh no, I did address them. It's just that your 'logic' and 'reason' sound a lot a like speeches I've heard by right-wingnuts.

You're just like my brother. He claims to have opinions, but he never watches the news, just listens to and repeats soundbites. I pity him. And you.

No, I mentioned that evangelicals have no good choices in the Republican noms this year (or Democrat ones), and that I'd vote for whoever left the cultural issues to the states to decide.
'Twas bardock who jumped all over my stances, and y'all who jumped on the bandwagon.

Save the pity because I watch the news quite often. Kieth Olberman's show, in fact. (gotta get the other sides viewpoint to make an intelligent decision, after all.) I check into current events every day. Not that I need to defend myself to you, but I want you to know that people who keep conservative views aren't just uneducated fools who get their news from a pulpit on a sunday.
No matter, you're a young 20 year-old idealist who believes that absolute freedom is the best thing a person can hope for. Freedom for anything, no matter if that means a sex-change for a 12 year old.
Wanna know something funny? I was a liberal at 20 too.
Give it 4 or 5 years, we'll talk.

Here's a few:
No prison time for drug users. Rehab and treatment, no matter how many offenses. Community service maybe, but as long as they aren't distributing and are just using.... no jail time.
Abortions only in the case of rape or life of the mother.
Sorry.
Civil unions for gay couples, with a "commitment ceremony" performed if they choose.
This provides all tax breaks and benefits, while keeping traditional marriage as the institution it always has been.
Off the top of my head, that's a good start.

acceptable considering the present policies regarding drug abuse.

would that not be a validation for homosexuals? would that not be the green light, so to speak, and bring about civil unions with dogs, donkeys, office furniture etc?
Originally posted by sithsaber408Actually, I respect many conservatives. I have plenty of friends that are conservative.

I just don't think that religious beliefs should guide public policy. If one reads the 14th Amendment, you can see that Gay Marriage is already Constitutionally protected, but it's the religious wingnuts like President Bush that keep it from becoming a reality.
a) I'm turning 19 in a week 13
b) I'm fairly certain I will hold these beliefs all my life, Ted Kennedy is a 'liberal' at 74, in any case.
Why do conservatives consider liberalism a "phase in life"?
Originally posted by sithsaber408Seems a bit hypocritical in the case of rape to me. You consider all life sacred and that life begins at conception, yet this child isn't allowed to live? Why not?
Abortions only in the case of rape or life of the mother.
Sorry.
Originally posted by sithsaber408So, ummm, whats the difference? Seems the exact same thing except called something different because they're gay. Are you protecting an institution (which by the way is completely broken to begin with) or a word?

That's obviously subjective.
I guess. But what isn't.
Some might find actual people being killed in a war more important than two **** marrying or not actual people and parasites being stopped from becoming actual people.
But to each their own.

To each his own.IMO America has more to fear from gay marriage leading to palygamy and bestiality in the next 50 years and abortion continuing to allow murdered children every day, than it does from terrorism.
They'll have no need of trying to destroy us from the outside if we've destroyed ourselves from within.
Polygamy sounds good...also bestiality...if one is into it.

Just for the record, I did not jump all over your your stances, just the importance you seem to give some over others.

It is true that many younger people look for idealistic causes and battles to fight...but that doesn't make every younger person naive or stupid and not everyone will grow out of it and also...it doesn't make conservative ideas better. Also, SS is like 2 years older than Strangelove...okay, maybe 3.
