Now, that's odd.

I meant to say Opiums, obviously.

Yeah, I thought so.

I have no response, however.

Well conservative should mean traditional and opposing change.

Liberal should mean that ideas can be more malleable.

For instance, a liberal attitude is what helped get rid of slavery and establish equal rights for women....but also wants to establish gay marriage rights.

Well, I'm sure Lincoln didn't know from a conservative, but even if the idea he had was a liberal one, I'm glad of it.

Yeah the names have been adopted to match current party views.

I'm speaking from what I think the words mean.

The idea was definitely a liberal one. However, so is gay marriage which is partly why I don't like being pigeon holed as liberal.

And you think thats a bad thing? Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No one said you had to take it up the ass just cause theyre married eh?

Conservative and Liberal are both terms that have been taken grossly out of proportion. Its Conservative and Liberal SpendingSpending. Neither of wich has anything to do with womens, blacks, or gay rights... but everything to do with taxation and bills.

Well conservative and liberal mean different things.

To your first, I don't have a liberal attitude toward marriage.

I believe some things are based on opposite gender.

Why are there separate bathroom facilities?
Why shouldn't an unlimited number of people be allowed to marry one another (polygamy) in various configurations?

Al, John, Jill, and Lafawnduh are married.

If many consider the homosexual lifestyle okay than it should be nothing wrong with a parent encouraging it, right?

The hetero lifestyle is encouraged and homo and hetero are supposedly equal, right?

I grew up near a fundementalest Mormon community that practiced Polygamy. I have a lot of friends that have five moms and 50 brothers and sisters. that community is screwed up for other reasons, but polygamy doesn't seem to have affected them much. not saying I'm supporting it, more that I am indifferent on that.
