Well first off... I am a male nurse, that pushes me left. As a male nurse that goes to nursing school and then to work in a female dominated profession, any right wing views of women quickly go out the window. I know women in the hospital that are very much more professional capable than myself. In nursing your co-workers are female, your bosses are female. I am actually pro-gay, essentially because I believe that there is no reason to impede the rights of the gay community. These answers left me very centric on the test. I also swing left on environmental issues.shinzen wrote:I'd say that georgiaRN likes a bit of spice anyway. Otherwise, why be here? And yeah, total lefty in contemporary politics.

(I also went from homophobic to homophilic in the "party days." I absorbed a new positive view, but a very limited scope. My experience was limited to night clubs, techno, and other "stereotypes" that represent a limited scope of the gay community. This time period was the late 90s and early 2000s. This was a very "metro-sexual" time in Atlanta. While I favor the gay community in a positive light, if you asked me about my personal experiences it may be a bit "stereotypical," so I generally do not mention it often.)
I am come to the LGC forums because it is the only firearms forum that has consistent maturity and is devoid of general adolescent behavior. That being said, there is no escaping my conservative upbringing. Those thoughts occasionally come sneak through in my posts. I won't really go into all the conservative thoughts here.
The net effect of me is a strange moderate, almost a Jekyll and Hyde thought process in some cases. I am always at conflict with myself. In whatever moments of clarity I can achieve, I realize that I am a good person and I love people. I think that is why Libertarians is the party that I landed on. I am purple like Georgia. I generally find myself angry with the extremists concepts on both the right and the left.
