I don't but for a reason that is not so obvious.Most people find their conservative ideology as they age...when they are on their own and realizing that the government interferes way too much.But.....but we were just told that millenials were breaking conservative 'big time'. Are you telling us that whoever said that didn't know what the hell they were talking about?
Millenials are not breaking conservatism any more than baby boomers broke conservatism when they were younger.
Yes and no. I agree that folks tend to be more conservative as they age. But that doesn't necessarily mean they adopt the random bigotry of previous generations. I doubt you're going to see much movement from millenials on issues of gay marriage, as bigotry toward gays is a learned behavior. Not innate. As the gen Xers general support of interracial marriage in their youth and now as they age demonstrates. The boomers and the 'greatest generation'? Not nearly as much.
And millennial are an enormous voting block that will be fully in play by 2016. Its unlikely they will 'age toward conservatism' in the immediate future. Or even the next couple of decades. Though for races in say, the 2050s, your assessment of their political beliefs may be more relevant.
I have always supported gay marriage.
I first learned that homosexuals couldn't legally get married in the early 80s when I was in my early 20s.
Nothing has changed in my opinion on gay marriage. I will always support consenting adults getting married whether it's a same sex couple or not.
The poster you're replying to has very little, if any, grasp of reality. I tried reading some of it's posts but the person is so crazy it's a waste of time. There isn't even a shred of reality in it's posts.
Facts don't matter to that poster and to posters like that person. So it's not worth wasting your time trying to give it facts. It won't listen or pay attention.
So you support the father/daughter marriage currently in the news?
I believe a daughter's "romantic" love for her father is possibly based on he, as an adult, skewing her thinking when she was a child...likely meaning that he cultivated her interest in him romantically over her most vulnerable years.
Now, if he was her father...and she never met him until she was an adult...and she fell in love with him.....I would probably say "its not in the best interest of your children as they may be subject to birth defects, but do as you please"
From my understanding, they were apart during those years.
