How to tell you're a Conservative....

You've named your kids "Deduction one" and "Deduction two"

You're a pro-lifer, but support the death penalty.

The only union you support is the baseball players, because heck, they're richer than you.

You think trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

You believe global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

You once broke loose at a party and removed your neck tie.

You don't let your kids watch Sesame Street because you accuse Bert and Ernie of "sexual deviance."

You've ever said "Clean air? Looks clean to me."

You've ever called education a luxury.

You wonder if donations to the Pentagon are tax-deductable.

You own a vehicle with an "Ollie North: American Hero" sticker.

You despise the "liberal media."

You ever told a child that Oscar the Grouch "lives in a trash can because he is lazy and doesn't want to contribute to society."

You think God hates homosexuality, but loves the death penalty.

You're for prayer in schools, as long as you don't pray to Allah or Buddha.

You have to believe that only your own teenagers are still virgins.

You think "bipartisan" means Democrats should compromise on something.

You've never met a tax cut you didn't like.

You believe the hole in the ozone layer to be a myth created by crazy liberals.

You fervently speak about the evils of marijuana at social gatherings with a vodka straight in hand.

You think the words feminist and lesbian are synonyms.
 
Looks like I'm not much of a conservative.

You're quite interesting, psychologically, Friday. So desperate for people to agree with your worldview, and you take any agreement for a sign that you're correct, and that you needn't ask any difficult questions, after all.

If I'm a bit distracted in this post, it's because I'm getting a kick out of seeing that Tom Jones "dresses to the left" in his special on PBS. Gotta love those tight pants. :D

Anyway...

Not desperate at all, 6. I have no control over what other people post. If they happen to be on the same wavelength as I, then so be it.

What difficult questions do you suggest I ask?
 
Speaking of being psychologically interesting, you're the one, Number_6.

You think all the ills of the world can be solved intellectually. There is no need (or room) for heart in your critically logical world.

Heart is for stories and Hallmark cards. Do you shit with your ears? Do you piss from your navel? No? Then what the hell makes you think it's a good idea to gather, collate and conclude with your heart?

But your above post is the best excuse for choosing to be stupid I've ever seen. Choose to be intelligent. Choose to think.

TQ, you have my utmost respect.

However...

Why does feeling automatically equate with being stupid? Isn't there room for both thinking and feeling when dealing with this crazy, mixed up world?

There are some situations that are best served by feeling solutions, as opposed to cold, analytical answers.

Your way has served me well, lately. However, I do find there is no definite boundary that separates both approaches. To be the most successful, one must be willing to merge the two.

In all seriousness, 6, I do ask the difficult questions. However, unlike your global tendencies, my questions are more often geared to the individual.

For example...how is a single mother supposed to make ends meet, if her daycare subsidy is cut? How can I make someone's life a bit less isolated? What are the best options for a teen-age girl who suddenly finds herself pregnant, and out on the street? How can we keep poor youth out of trouble, and introduce positive role models in their lives?

With ALL due respect, you do tend to spout general principles that have little inpact in my, and most people's, day to day existence.

In other words...get your head out of the clouds, and take a figurative walk downtown occasionally.

Hmm. Sounds like a lot of these people needed to practice safe sex or abstinence, and their problems would be nonexistent.

Just because you want to take responsibility for problems that other people have gotten themselves into doesn't mean everyone does. The sooner you understand that, the sooner you'll be able to deal a bit better with the real world.

And you don't ask the difficult questions. You just emote, and think that if we all hold hands and emote, everything will be hunky-dory.

The 60s are over. Try and grasp that. Over. The social experiment failed. Time to move on, ask new questions, come up with new solutions.

As I've said before, coming to a conclusion and then expressing your feelings about it is fine. Basing a conclusion on your feelings is uwise, because you will always base your conclusion on what feels good, and not all conclusions are going to make you feel good.

That's the old Golden Mean, and although I've explained it before, I'll explain it again -- 1 + 1 = 2, no matter how much it might feel good to think that 1 + 2 = 1.

Please explain how one finds themsleves "suddenly pregnant'.

If a teenaged girl gets pregnant, by law she is emancipated and no longer the financial responsibility of her parents, as it should be. If you're so big bad and grown up that you can have sex then you can suffer the big bad grown up consequences.

That aside, there is a sure fire way to not find yourself "suddenly pregnant" and that would be to not have sex. I am, however, a realist and if the girl's just gotta 'cause all the really cool kids are doin' it then hows about using one of the fifteen bajillion forms of birth control available today?

By the way, if a girl is raped whether date or stranger or a victim of incest she is still the responsibility of the parents so that argument won't work.
 
But PBM wants to treat the entire human race as if they were students in her mentally disabled classes--all in need of her tender loving care.

I think it makes her feel better about herself when she is feeling so deeply for the poor and downtrodden.
 
Come now, LG! We all know that men are so vile, disgusting, and dastardly, that they often, often cajole women into having sex...against their will! I mean, we all know that a strong womyn will never willingly have intercourse with a man!

Goddamned devious and disgusting men!
 
^Yeah, I never did understand the whole lezzzbian thing. In national tastes tests wiener beats a tongue hands down.
 
Aw, see? Now I feel all marginalized and disenfranchised (and a whole bunch of other "ized"s I'll think up later) seein' as how I'm not religious.
