I'm slowly but surely realizing how non-conservative I really am. Sure, I think drugs and excessive body piercings are kinda pointless, but thats just because I wouldn't do it myself. I still sometimes find myself looking at some of these heavily mutilated people and thinking, Wow, thats cool. (not the drugs, I will never think anything possitive about any non-sober state of being) Maybe thats just because I'm 21 now, and its just part of my generation. Sometimes though, I just can't help but cringe when I hear come conservative bashing something that I really didn't think was a big deal. This whole thought just came to me a few minutes ago when I was reading OSC reviews everything. I read about the halftime show and the sexual content in commercials and thought, Big Deal, Who Cares. Of course, I don't have a family to care for, but I couldn't see myself getting upset about it even then. Have I grown so de-sensatized to it that I'm really not aware of how bad it is? I just can't convince myself to care. For instance, I don't see the big obsession with covering breasts (don't just discard this comment because of my age, I'm not so immature as to let my hormones control me) after all, breasts are NOT a sex organ. If breast feeding in public can be tolerated, then whats the big deal? Thats what they're for. Men don't have to cover THIER breasts. Granted, I think that the sex appeal thing is getting out of hand, but thats just because people make such a big deal about it. If people didn't give it so much undo attention, then it wouldn't be exercised so much. I guess I'm just stuck in the middle. I'm not conservative, but I'm certainly not liberal, of course, now I think about it, that fits me perfectly. I can't stand the extremes in anything. Well, I don't know when I'll be back next. I'll try to make it back by tommorow to respond to any comments, but my internet access is limited. Discuss amongst yourselves if you'd like.

Meh. I'm quite liberal. Maybe not as liberal as they come, but certainly rather-so. I'm not quite sure where this came from, since my parents are very conservative, and my pre-college schooling was always at conservative schools.
I suppose you might blame Brown, where I attended undergrad. But maybe I just came to it on my own, through personal experience and research.
I find that many purveyors of social morality are very negative people. You can almost see their eyebrows furrow, their arms cross over their chest as they maintain their agenda. Anger, hate, condescension, self-righteousness. Oh sure, there are liberals who do the hate thing. I don't like them, either. But I've never seen a liberal quite this bad.
