Primarily cultural differences between African Americans and Whites in my school district, I imagine. Although its a rather numerous set of beliefs that went towards it all.

People on this thread are only "kids" in an extremely loose sense. You don't see 10-year-olds posting here.

Many are not of the age of majority yet. Ergo, they are kids.

I was a christian conservative.
You know, before I grew up.

I was "conservative"... until I turned 10.

I then became an Objectivist minarchist (having read Atlas Shrugged and many of Ayn Rand's works) and, since 14, I've been an anarchocapitalist, continuing my rational egoist philosophy.

I'm 15 and 1/3 now, for perspective.

Everyone was. Everyone was....

Though for me, it was kind of hard to break free from the shackles of Christianity. But I got there and that's what's important.

Two pastors showed up at my house yesterday. Apparently my mom went to their church.
They came by to say hi to her, and then I found myself surrounded by christians. :shock:

That scared the crap out of me.

My experience was similar to this, though I had Anarcho-Green and Ansyn tendencies rather than Primitivist ones. I abandoned these when I "learned" that "The world doesn't work like that" and "Life isn't fair" and other bs. Between the ages of 13 and 16 I gradually went back to them.

Your the only hilarious mod. The rest of them are
pretentious and stuck-up

I was extreme nationalism, basically fascism

But yeah, I've been an ardent centrist for much of my childhood.

Well, obviously it wouldn't just be you. We could add GWO, Panzer, DI, Tokyoni...

It'd certainly liven things up a bit.

You dislexic or something? Far Left does NOT equal far right. Blegh.

You're all pretty authoritarian compared to most of NSG.

The irony being that all of what you're calling fake actually existed in the real world, and all of what you support... didn't. So who's really the fake one here. xDDDD

VERY different theoretical basis behind it though. And it's quite infantile to equate them accordingly.

I believed whatever any trusted adult told me. This meant I listened to a lot of ignorant people.

Well, I never really believed in religion to be honest. I felt awkward when people walked me into church, and I usually felt bored to death listening to the pastor/priest. What I did do was believe practically everything my grandfather told me, and he in turn believed in everything he heard on FOX.

Despite being a party line marching Republican, he was always pretty inconsistent on religion. He tended to reject views about an afterlife(definitely not always,) yet believed in absolute morality and his moral views lined up pretty neatly with most social conservative religious types. Strangely, pretty much the instant I hit 18 I shifted radically away from this.

As a child and young man, I was a comunist. Today, manny years and manny books later, I would be considered center to far right.

by **Duffys** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:04 pm

In my teen years socially liberal and laissez-faire capitalism
so classical liberalism

after the financial collapse in September of 2008 i became a staunch liberal and I've been moving toward social democracy

by **Zilam** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:04 pm

Very "vote for Democrats only!". Now I am further left, having realized the Democrats are spineless cowards with no testicular fortitude to stand up against a group of people who are intent on destroying working class America.

So, you vote Republican now?

Big L Liberal. Slowly gravitated towards social democracy with age.

by **Costa Fiero** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:08 pm

I used to be left wing.

I'm 17 turning 18 in a few months and I mock my fellow students and teachers for being socialists. I have now since adopted core fascist principals (I'M NOT A NAZI!) whilst embracing laissez-faire capitalism.

Turning 18 means I'm considered more or less as a "young adult", right?
