    Lovely question...

    Seeing modern liberal thought destroy families around me, and seeing how it set an enviroment that neither furnished or helped productive sexual relations. Every damn liberal male I know just wants to fuck 'bitches'...every conservative male I know while not perfect in all respects...actually respects women, and ultimately they're not a selfish douche. Is there a valid reason for the difference....? Yes, I'd say.

    I could go in great detail about how many situation where this culture destroyed lives....but it's just easier to say that I look down-up this culture more harshly, even to the point of seeing vices that everyone could acquire. Funny thing is, some of these girls/guys wouldn't look bad had they worked on their appearance... but really that's a minor issue me.

    Not true...till I was 18 I was surrounded by people I deemed not that attractive (due to many factors). Most were liberal minded. I only had one friend that was conservative-minded to that point. I was more or less libertarian at the moment.

    No one shared my opinion at that point in time...most of them didn't have any opinion (only anti-opinions). It's only when I got the car and the independence that I found people looked so much better outside of 'the devil's asshole', and that their values and direction were that much more appealing.

    I'll name one instance. I liked a latin female that immigrated here from El Salavador. She was beautiful and arrogant at times (but to some level she deserved it). She was liberal, and sometimes beyond that....beautiful person, but not a great political view or general perspective on handling some things. So there are beautiful liberals, it's just not as common around here.


    There's two extremism: non-tolerance of everything, and total tolerance of everything. I believe liberalism takes it to the extreme here...and gives children the enviroment where there's a moral void of values. Where there's no real rational boundaries of what is or isn't acceptable or beneficial to them. Young women and men think that acting like the current trend is positive, even though it's obviously negative.

    When I go in the city I see people trying to be different just to be different. They try so hard to go against convention, and I think that the effort of rebellion without direction makes them that much more ugly. A friend of mine said that people stay in the bay area because they're rejects, and this is the place they'll be accepted...*shrug*. I don't know that to be true, but I don't find this place to be normal.

    I think that liberalism promotes a victimization mentality vs a 'right' perspective in self-determination. Every close individual I know that believes in individualism believes that they are ultimately responsible for their own life, happiness, and general well-being. Obviously this isn't all encompassing, as I know many people on the right with problems that are self-created...we all are humans...but the liberalism culture creates a platform where people can blame others for their own problems.

    Sadly I believe this is melting into conservative culture as well.

    I say that may evolve towards one not upkeeping themselves (through exercise or whatnot)...mommy, daddy or society did it.

    lmao...I'm much younger, and I'm not full blooded white...I'm a mutt of sorts.

    Everyone withers with age, which should be held as good. I wouldn't down anyone for that. Even mister Paul Newman, an extremely good-looking chap is starting to look rough.

    Some people are ALWAYS going to blame others for their problems because they don't want to take responsibility for their actions... I don't know that liberalism really has anything to do with that, but I respect your right to think that.

    What I don't understand is the entire point of this thread: how, from your experience, liberals are ugly? What sort of intelligent being comes to a conclusion like that, might I ask? I'd try to form some sort of arguement against that, but it's such a ridiculous statement I don't think it'd be worth trying.

    I don't.

    I listen to Progessive Rock/metal, jazz, blues, classical, classic rock, turntablism, ...only the best.

    I actually shared my musical taste in the general forum and asked for people to share their taste, but got really nothing in response. It's as though people that work on the internet are not interested in music. I love music.*shrug*

    You're missing out. Forget all that hippy rock crap you listen to and turn on some early 90's rap my friend. :)

    Does the liberal platform espouse self-responsibility?

    In some cases it might to a point, but in many the government of liberal though has the solution. We'll take care of your retirement, medical, general welfare or even some of your moral values (in public school). Hell, we'll even subsidize your abortion.

    No, the MAJORITY of liberals in MY area...not the world or the rest of America. Look at some of hollywood...I'd have to concede that while most of them are liberal they aren't that hard on the eye.

    I wouldn't put a question mark in front of my title had I asserted that in whole.

    It isn't silly within my context.

    Well, I must respectfully disagree I'm afraid. It just seems a silly concept to create a thread based on the seemingly apparent *fact* that liberals in your area are not very good looking; therefore, must we conclude that on the whole, liberals are unattractive?

    I don't think so.

    Rick, how about this? Until the age of around 22 I was a hardcore liberal. Anti-war protests, diatribes on universal healthcare, the full works. Since then I've moved further and further to the right (economically, at least, if not socially). So, considering that my political opinions have changed over the last decade does that mean I've become more attractive? I've always been smokin' hot :)

    lmao....a friend of mine says we all start liberal, and when we get older we become more conservative. As I said in the beginning, I'm sure there are some rather good-looking liberals out there, just not many in the bay area. Live here, and you'll know.

    SF is the emblem of liberalism.

    I must admit that my out look on life has in someways been effected by what I consider negative cultures that come out of places like these e.g my outlook on particular women. Most liberals live in a purplish area of the world, where they're intermixed with their own belief and those of others, so the essentially are prone to moderation. Overt and over the top liberalism is the full acceptance of everything ie there's nothing beyond moral reapproach. I'd say the best example is morally allowing NABLA (a pedophile organization) to join in on a gay parade. Hell, I'm not anti-gay...you want to be gay..fine. You want to morally allow the promotion of sexually abusing a child...'fuck you'.

    Free-speech is fine, but a culture that gives quarters to scum will only become that.

    I remember making this point in the abortion thread. It wasn't well received among liberals who didn't want to hear about taking responsibility for their actions.

    GTech, I'm going to pretend you didn't just go there and start bringing a completely irrelevant thread into the current conversation.

    You know you want a piece of this ;)

    Yeah, now imagine that last line spoken in my Hugh Grant-like British accent and it's even creepier :)

    I'd agree with that only in an economic sense. Most people would agree that universal healthcare and a firm financial safety net for the unemployed would be good ideas, but when those ideas would be paid for using our tax dollars (or, in my case, pounds) it's a different proposition altogether. On social issues such as abortion and gay marriage I've never noticed any age factor.

    Your hypothetical questions/conclusions are your own.

    Say it's personal research. I wanted to know if it was apparent in other areas.

    Part of my theory is that the weather has some effect on the people here as well ie since it's not hot all that often, they don't bother to remain fit...we have a lot pillow-effect going on here. I'm sure that goes for many places.
