Never was conservative.
feel almost out of place
here now.
As you might expect I've become
more conservative as I've aged.
Not a bad thing by any means.
Just a recognization that you can't behave as a child all your life, although some certainly try.
I sometimes have trouble telling with is the child and which is the parent.

Life experience changes the way you look at life. The more time you spend here on God's booger, you find out what works, and what doesn't. I passionately guard my freedom and liberty to do what I want as long as I don't physically harm another. This puts me at odds with those that don't want to make waves, and don't want to risk anything. From riding motorcycles, to lobby my reps for a political cause. Sounds like you are in that position now, don't go to bed mad though! (plug for my thread,"How do you say goodbye")
Each person develops their own views, the problem is when one or another has to win the issue. I prefer to agree to disagree, and let it go.
Hope all is well now, kiss and make up, go to bed, then later to sleep!

Its really wierd,
when it comes to myself, I am less conservative...my dress,thoughts, sex, etc.
When it come to my kids however, I have turned into something different. My daughter is now in middle school and the guys that are in 8th grade look like men. If you didnt tell me that they were still kids,I wouldn't know. So now I preach daily about boys,drugs,smoking and all that. I dont want my kids to have to go through what I did. No matter how I think, or what I do, their well being comes first. So if it means I need to stop and think about what I do, I will.
Eventually they will move out of the house.

i don'tknow what conservative is
most coservatives i know think i'm the biggest liberal they know. most liberalsthink i'm the biggest conservative. i'm niether. give either type of person enough latitude (or just talk tothem long enough) and they'll go so far inone direction, they'll wind up on th other side. i simply take each issue as it comes. i don't then see how that issue fits into my morality. instead i simply reason out how the issue effects others. how far their rights are infringed by it. then i make a decision.
btw...no one has the right to NOT be offended by something.

I am revisiting to also state that in terms of parenting, the lessons I teach and what I hope for my children certainly reflects the most conservative side to my persona.
I want them to be free to be who they are and be comfortable with that. I would hope that they can learn from me and my experiences rather than go through the hardship that accompanies growth.

I have become much less conservative in everything except politics...I still avoid that issue! Not even one year ago would I have ever dreamed of posting a picture of myself on the internet, and now I have posted not only my face, but other parts of my body as well. I guess I have just learned to open myself up more than I ever did in the past. I used to be pretty self-conscious. Not so now!

All schizo and stuff...
Well, hmm...
Personally, I've become less conservative, in the sense that I've loosened up and learned how to have genuine fun without much regard for the opinions of others. Politically, I've perhaps become more conservative, though I've strayed firmly into the Libertarian camp.
Oddly enough, though, I'm known around work as "the liberal hippie". Those of you who've seen my picture would know just how silly that really is. I'm supposing it's because it doesn't take much around a police station (I'm a dispatcher) to be seen as less than orthodox conservative.
Though the most fun I've had around work is when I was involved in a three-hour debate with some co-workers about the Fourth Amendment...that got really interesting, really quick.

My basic philosophies haven't changed that much in the past 10 years. I'm still firmly on the fence. I am conservative in some things and liberal in others. I tend to be more conservative concerning my beliefs and how I act while allowing others choice to act on their own beliefs.

After my children were born, many of my views became more conservative. I think that happens to most people once they become parents. Sexually, I have never really been conservative but I was less willing to try new things than I am now. I am fairly middle-of-the-road on most other issues.

greying...in more ways than one
fiscally more conservative...socially more liberal...politically (I hate to use the term,which says something about my evolution) more centered.
My youthful zeal for black and whites has morphed into varying shades of grey. With 6 billion +, distinct cultures on the menu, it's harder to embrace 'things' - the appetizers - rigidly, and easier to see people - with their hopes & disappointments, pains & victories - as the main course.
As for family get-togethers...with some people I simply talk about the weather.

I used to be a Republican; now I'm a Democrat. That said, my views haven't changed much. I don't fit neatly into either major party. It's just that I feel more comfortable in the donkey party.
When I was on the student senate in college a few years ago, I was on the right-wing compared to the majority of senators. However, I am a liberal in Orange County, CA.
So confusing!
