And 54% Green Party, 54% Republican, 52% Democrat, and 31% Socialist. That seems like too many percentages. What is it ummm 259%. I wonder what I am.

I despise politics, so I guess it's fitting that they would say I'm Libertarian lol. It just asks you for your stance on the more important issues in politics right now. Takes about 10 minutes.

being sober iws for wussies!

Since I take 2 klonopin every night, those stay in my bloodstream pretty much 24/7. I go through life slightly high because my anxiety is so bad.

Skimmed through what wiki had to say, seemed fairly accurate to what I think. The way I answered some of those questions, I expect the secret service to swoop in at any time now. Lol I try to stay away from politics, I have pretty strong opinions that make people mad. Lol

I don't smoke pot, but I do have a bit of a hippie mentality. Lol

Same here. This is why I transferred colleges. Couldn't go to an extremely conservative, 500 student school a street down from Wall Street.

Yeah I wouldn't do well in that situation either.

I choose not to discuss it. A lot of folks don't view things the way I do around here (the south). I can't even talk to some family members anymore because they are so biased to the garbage they have been brainwashed with.

I had to choose happiness over money. I believe in the law of attraction, so I know I'll attract what I want most. Decided to just come home, work hard, and get in the studio and have fun while continuing my education. My best friend since kindergarten and my girlfriend go to this school too, so I think I'll be a lot happier.

This is the real problem. People not thinking for themselves. I believe what I believe, other people can do the same. I'm not going to force my beliefs on anyone else.

 

[blupotato]

yep

pretty accurate description at how things have become.

My things is I will discuss politics, religion, or whatever with a sensible human being. I have strong convictions in what I believe, but I also respect other peoples views. I like learning about different political and religious beliefs, and will openly discuss and genuinely listen to what somebody has to say. Cause IMO everyone is free to believe what they wish and I respect that. When it's someone that has nothing to offer other than telling me I'm wrong and their right, I'm done. Most people can't have a normal, open conversation, cause they know what they believe is right and nothing else matters.

Tough to find those sensible human beings?

Exactly. Most people now are so narcissistic that they can't believe that somebody else may be able to contribute to their intelligence, so they just refuse to have discussions and take the "I'm right and you're wrong" stance on EVERYTHING.

Smart man. Thats why I call myself a modern hippie, I just want to do what makes me happy. If I'm not passionate about it, then I don't do it. Do I wanna be 70 and look back and say, "man I lived a wonderful life and loved every minute of it" or look back and say, "I didn't live the life I wanted but I have x more dollars?" I want choice number one, I only get one life I want to live it to the fullest.

Lulz I know weird coming from me. Every time I meet someone new and they actually sit and have a conversation with me. They usually respond, "I never figured you could have a real conversation" lulz

I have a hard time understanding people like that cause I am so opposite from that, and it is frustrating and upsets my Chi. Lol

Yep. I'm only 18 and I can see how everything is changing. The way my parents lived isn't how this generation lives. The blueprint for our lives isn't the same. It isn't 'Get married, work for 40 years, retire, golf, die' any more. Everything is changing so fast that the old men in government don't know what to do. Big changes are coming in the next 10-20 years.

No doubt, you're a wise young man CWill. The funny thing is I have friends and family on me constantly, "you should be settled down with a wife and kids by now" Cause that's what we are supposed to do. They can't grasp that I don't want that yet, that I still have stuff I want to do.

I'll say this because it is very relevant to what you just said. The point imo of growing up is educating yourself. People come from all different molds. You saw that in the ultra conservative atmosphere you just came from. They believe what they do because they are more than likely products of their environment. If they were to be thrust into a different mold they will probably view things quite a bit differently. Not to say that any side is correct, but everyone comes from different paths if that makes any sense whatsoever?

On a side note I have lady bugs showing up in my house and I don't know wtf they are coming from, but I am getting disgruntled.

I don't get why people don't understand that we aren't 'supposed' to do anything. Individuals can do whatever makes them happy as long as it's within the law (or not sometimes.) If somebody wants to live their life completely differently than I live mine, go for it. I'm not going to bash them for it. Everybody has their own personal destiny and their own past.

That's very true. I try not to let any environment influence me so much that I'm a product of it. I want to constantly learn and better myself.
