Level up: 15%, 69 Points needed | | Here to learn as much as I can
I have a lot to learn. I've been following current events more closely since October. I don't have time to catch every news story, unfortunately. Basically, I get my news from DrudgeReport.com and Yahoo. I try to read opinion columns from other sites and I listen to talk radio when I'm in the car. I'm only in college, but I'd like to know as much about the world as possible.
I feel my feels are more on the conservative side, especially concerning security issues and conflicts in Iraq. I'm not necessarily saying that my views are right... I am here to be exposed to other views as well, and learn something. I think it is stupid to be 100% conservative and 100% liberal. People who are, I feel are only fooling themselves, and are doing themselves and their society a major disservice. I look forward to being part of this forum. |

Points: 15,649, Level: 80 | Level up: 81%, 201 Points needed | | Crimson Cage, we are nearly neighbors! I was even born in Chicago, but my family settled a few hours north, they must have known at an early age, I would be a Packer Fan, so they got me out of Bear Territory.   So you are a conservative with a heart to re-consider. I am constantly re-considering stuff myself. I commend you on your desire to weigh other viewpoints. And because that makes you sound very reasonable to me, I am very much looking forward to getting to know you here. Welcome to the community! OD
