theres hope for pixeldust yet then

Sure, the populist right is largely ignorant, the left is just as guilty.

So young people who are conservatives are naive and uninformed, but young people who grow up smoking pot and love the Colbert report are grown up and well-informed, gotcha.

You have to admit, it's pretty funny when he was used in such a shameless way.

Yeah, i mean I'm not saying it's bad to be a liberal, I found myself to be aggressively conservative through my teenage years only to find myself changing over time, but to talk about how naive you were at 13 as if by 17 you have it all figured out is probably more naive.

...is this thread really about the political opinions of a 17 year old ?

No, its actually a thread in a video gaming forum about taking said 17 year old seriously.

...that's a relief . When one of my teenage relatives tries to discuss politics with me I usually give them a pat on the head a Werther's Original from the linty pocket of my chest high trousers

I think most highly educated people are liberal...most professors and people with phd's, in my experience, are liberal. I'm sure someone can google this. The only prominent exception I can think of would be economics phds who are generally conservative. I can't think of another discipline that is notoriously conservative.

And then you have Billy Bob and Jethro who love their guns and think the goverment should stay out of their lives so they can drive their atvs down the highway and canoodle with their cousins.

Stereotypes maybe, but I think there's a partial truth to liberals being at least more educated then conservatives.



And then they kindly fetch you your walker and mash up all your food for you, right?

So *thats* what you call it now.
