Hello
« on: November 13, 2010, 09:53:14 PM »
My name is Alex, I'm 16, a junior in high school, and I live in Virginia. I'm very interested in politics, and was looking for a place to talk amongst people with a similar viewpoint and this looks like a pretty good place. When politics is brought up at school and I open my mouth, I'm often scolded by my teachers and told I need to be more tolerant. I would say I know a lot more about the economics side of things and less about foreign policy. I'm very pro-life as well. Looking forward to posting here!

I would ask what kind of beer you prefer, but you're too young.

In front of my folks, yes.  On my own?  Too scared to pull that crap.  They were real clear that way.

And "underage" is a relative term.  I always found it more than a little hypocritical that I could have a beer on base but not outside the gate.

I can't say much-- I helped brew ~200 gallons of beer for a couple of years when I was around 16. 

I remember my alcohol of choice was Everclear mixed with something to hide any trace of an alcohol taste.  Coke or Vanilla Coke (I think it had just come out) seemed to do the trick quite well.  The deception worked out quite well, until one time I mixed myself up a can and set it down, and my mother mistakenly thought it was hers, and drank it.   :thatsright:

You sound a lot like my son....thank god for conservative kids.

Oh yeah, and "Resistance is not futile."
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

You are brave.

That stuff was "banned" in Wisconsin.  You could NEVER find it.

Welcome Alex and hope you enjoy and learn here.
It was a long time ago I was 16 and figured I knew what life was and should be.
I now know half of what I thought I knew at that age but that is okay because when I was 16 I really didn`t know anything so still an improvement.  :p

Welcome Alex glad you found us

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies.
