I would say I am a pretty basic conservative. Not a special snowflake.zombie wrote:doctors... but that's typical of a large portion of people to a degree. so that may not be what you're looking for either.
why do you always call me out for "typical liberal" stuff? are you not pretty standard conservative in many of your views?

Re: The Good Die Young...
if you can enjoy movies that don't necessarily line up with your politics, and don't grit your teeth at the words "happy holidays", then you are not a conservative snowflake, i'd say.
Re: The Good Die Young...
I said nothing about you. I said I am pretty basic and have fairly typical conservative viewpoints that make me in no way special.zombie wrote:am i a "special snowflake", then? nice.Foo wrote:I would say I am a pretty basic conservative.

Conservatives tend to be more tolerant than liberals of different ideas.

so, if you're pretty typical conservative. what makes that more valid than being typical liberal? it's a little bit weird to me.

i don't see that that's true, of conservatives generally. but if you are, cool.Foo wrote:Conservatives tend to be more tolerant than liberals of different ideas.

Re: The Good Die Young...
Tolerant of different ideas? It strikes me as a flawed argument if you are equating conservatives with its philosophical roots here. Although maybe you just mean you and less activist conservatives tend to be less vocal generally because you’re ok with the status quo?zombie wrote:i don't see that that's true, of conservatives generally. but if you are, cool.Foo wrote:Conservatives tend to be more tolerant than liberals of different ideas.
