just watching a show on tv and theyre discussing how when your young you have these liberal, wide eyed optomistic views and when you get older your views turn to more conservative sides, this example really creased me up:

scottish woman phoned in saying she married a bleeding heart liberal years ago and he was talking with a freind whos son was being bullied at school, the liberal says aaaah you have to pity the bully and think what his life is like, try to understand and forgive...

present day: they now have a son, this son is being bullied and last night the son was talking to the dad and the dad says "smack him one" mum points out the conversation of years ago and asks "but what about the bullies issues and understanding him?" the dad comes back with "Eff that, thump the wee bugger!"


made me chuckle any hoo.

I'm way on the other side, the older i get, the more "look at all sides" i get :eek7:

When young, thumping is the key.
When old, talking is the key.

heres a question:

When does one know who and what they are in a political/moral/philosophical sense? When can you comfortably say "I understand myself, I'm contented".

My grandmom always tells me this aswell.
I hope to be a hippie socialist communist untill the day I day. I hope I will stay on the path to help other people insted of just myself.

Some day the world might be a better place, if we all tried to help.
