Sure, neither party is static. Trump took a fairly hard line on illegal immigration, and by all accounts, he has been trying to keep that promise. Democrats used to be the same way, seems almost like they flipped just to be on the opposite side of Trump, not because there is big support for illegal invasions by voters.Jmac Attack wrote:Is the Republican party the same?

But they were the best they could be. My mom is actually a saint though, lol. She drank peach schnapps one time and never drank again, lol. She raised me right. My decisions have been all mine.

I bet it's full proof!
I can tell you my folks were largely absent, but also held me accountable despite it. Also, I grew up seeing them work and make sacrifices and also place value on being entrepreneurial. Both good and bad, it influenced me.
As for drug and alcohol use, me and my wife will largely be leading by example. We probably won't have to say much about it, as my folks never said anything about it to me. Basically, when I got to be a teenager, my mom told me if I wanted to drink, I could do it at home and if I ever drank while out, call and no questions would be asked to get a ride home. I never drank at home and I never made the call.
Keep in mind, all I have to go on is what you have stated. From what I know, you have parents you described as liberal in some way. 4 kids, all substance abusers at one point. A gay child. You have self described as a substance abuser. You are very liberal. You have a trans child. I believe you also indicated some molestation.
That is all I know and it comes from you. It does not speak to failure. It speaks to a lot of alternative lifestyle, and curiosity about the source. Nothing makes the people bad except bad behavior. Being gay or trans, or a substance abuser does not make a person bad. That being said, it is not ideal in terms of being the person with those traits.
And my dad voted Democrat his whole life. He would probably have not voted for Obama or be a Democrat today. Want more back story?
Same with my grandfather. A Kennedy Democrat or a union guy is hardly the same as the identity politic driven party of today. Tell some of those old union Democrats from the 1970's that their party would one day be in support of mass illegal migration. How do you think that would go over?

Think about the hours of practice time, the money to get to the show, and not getting paid. Having my whole week evolve around giving back something. I don't care about my band getting recognition. At all.
Why don't you do paying gigs and just give your money to the charity?

I do paying gigs all the time. But I am a sucker for dudes in wheelchairs who have fought for our country. And I give my own money to charity too. It's not like all I ever do is charity work. And those charity gigs are gigs that I donate all that money to charity.

Re: Liberal Hollywood and the Pedophilia Problem
I just find a lot of economic inefficiency (and inequality) at such things. It always feels like there are some giving a whole lot and others giving very little, and sometimes the organizer is getting more than the recipient.Jmac Attack wrote:I do paying gigs all the time.

Pete has cancer and needs money.
What about people in need who are not Pete? Why not just give Pete money instead of the dog and pony show?

Awareness and exposure. Two of the words you are most likely to hear before someone tries to get you to do something for nothing.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:Awareness. Lulz.

Pretty sure the Chris Spielman family is not pocketing the money we raise for his dead wife. Hell, my company does the whole pink tshirt for breast cancer awareness during the month. But ya know....pink ribbons be dumb.
