Perpetual children. Grown men riding skateboards in backwards baseball caps, playing LEGOS, still obsessed with Harry Potter, living at home jerking off to porn. But yes, they know the way the world should work.
There's nothing wrong with having hobbies, like collecting Legos or being interested in a book series. That's fine. We all need a hobby to relieve some stress from time to time. But mature adults know how to manage their lives and take care of their families.
Yeah, I've been down that road a lot and found some people really liked to pick out certain interests particularly if you're someone like myself who's happily single. I've had several people try to tell me to grow up and I need to be out at the clubs trying to hook up, etc. because they focus on certain aspects and interests. I've got a couple of those fancy Lego sets I built on display (of American monuments no less), I spend more time when I'm home playing video games than watching TV. Short guy with glasses that usually gets considered "baby faced" or taken for 10+ years younger than my age. I don't really like bars or the whole drinking culture and don't want anything to do with weed/drugs. Oh the travesty of these things! I've lost or turned away potential friends because they just can't get past this mindset that they need to somehow "fix" me. I also like watching sports, travel, working on my house, work on cars and have more tools than I could count. I just bought a gun I'm going to try my hand at shooting now. I've been employed consistently for nearly 20 years, have a house, pay all my bills, don't live paycheck to paycheck, don't have a criminal record, and haven't knocked up a bunch of women and abandoned them.
So yeah, I'm with you. Judge people on how they take care of their lives and responsibilities and not just pick on hobbies and interests that are supposedly immature or silly.
I'm 36 and i have a few friends who are still liberal. The one guy is truly lost. Spends his time posting furry porn on twitter and drawing it. His wife is even worse. They both are on meds for depression and god knows worse. I would say theres a little something wrong with the guy.
I know a guy like this. We like to joke that there was lead in the tattoo ink. Spends all his time drawing furry shit and complaining how the evils of capitalism have kept people like him down.
Teachers in Canada are the best example. Government funded. Average salary is $88,000 a year. Work less than 9 months a year. Enormous pensions and benefits.
Do they complain about not being paid enough, never take into account their benefits or that they don't work year round, and act like martyrs doing it for the children like they do here in the States? Drives me nuts, to be honest.
My fiance worked as a teacher for two years out of school. We both see it as a huge waste of money. I don't necessarily think we should remove public education, but I honestly think the public school system is more wasteful than the military.
Makes sense though 30 seems off. I've usually heard 20 or 25.
I was pretty liberal when I was young. "Why can't we just help people?" and all that utopian stuff. Luckily I went to a based high school and easily ignored all the typical crap that infests universities these days.
Not really. It fails to understand that conservativism has a heart, but that heart understands the real world. It also ignores that liberals aren't driven by compassion but by a need to validate their existence and success by placing them over others via helping them. Liberals are the ultimate expression of "I'm okay, you're not okay."
I can't understand liberals over 30. It's like they're blind and deaf.

Children aren't evil like liberals
hey, you got nothing on grown up Lego enthusiasts

Vote 100% liberal.

Yep, to a greater extent than here in the US. They regularly hold kids hostage by striking to demand more pay. City always caves to them.
Left that shithole as fast as I could...
Yes, yes, yes, and double yes.

Exactly this. They are Utopians. They have terrible coping with the fact that things really are often what they seem.
I'm 23 so I guess I have no heart
I'd rather have a brain anyway
Ive always hated that saying.

I understand why many people are liberal when theyre young, i just dont like the insinuation that youre some heartless sociopath if youre not.

Imagine being extremely rich, disconnected, insulted from all things negative, and feeling EXTREMELY guilty about that.
