Have you always held similar political opinions or have you gone through large changes during your life?

I have found that I have taken a pretty hard left. In 2008 I identified as libertarian and associated with some of the Ron Paul crowd. A little more than 10 years later I'm much closer to anarcho-communism. Its been a pretty stark change.

If a person isn't a liberal when they are 20 they have no heart. If a person is not a conservative by the time they are 40 they have no brain. I have a heart and a brain.

@hippyjoe1955 I was wondering who was going to bring up this 50 year old bullshit. It was you.

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@windinhishair So you don't have a brain? funny how I suspected as much. BTW it is much older than 50

@hippyjoe1955 That saying has been just as wrong the past 50 years as it was before then. You clearly have neither heart nor brains.

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@windinhishair No it is true. You just don't have enough of a brain to understand it. Kinda sad.

@hippyjoe1955 So everyone should be a liberal when they are young. It is desirable to be a liberal, right? But only when you are young. When you are older and hardened and your heart turns to stone, then you should be a conservative, because your politics should be age-dependent.

@windinhishair You missed the point entirely. Nice try though. As I said before you lack brains.

@hippyjoe1955 So you had a heart when you were 20, but now you have brains and are heartless, because you're no longer a liberal.

@windinhishair After watching joe attempt to defend his bizarre views on science for a couple of years, I don't think he has any brains left either.

@windinhishair Wait until he's 65 and he needs those bennies. The circle of life
