Are you serious? I've found this website quite conservative lately. I mean most of the polls show that...

because majority of this website is kids that grow up spoiled/get everything they want....do you ever see the "what'd you get for christmas threads?" or any thread that is "what car should I buy?" the shit posted on here is unreal....half these kids are driving a better car at 16 than I probably ever will, same with christmas presents. When I was growing up my parents spent like 150 bucks on christmas gifts....I see some kids get a go-pro, skis, video games etc...


This site is full of rich, liberal, sub-urban, white kids. Who have no idea how life works outside of Mom/Dads protective bubble.

O rly?




But seriously... You know heaps of people on here are from Canada right? Where even the conservatives agree with nationalized healthcare? If it pisses you off so much that a few liberals from the west coast and New England cropped up in your perfect little whiteboy americana world, then I'm sorry, not sure what to tell you. Most of the country is trending pretty liberal though...

if you swapped 'liberal' with 'conservative' then your paragraph would make sense.

you're pretty much perfectly describing a typical conservative upbringing

I was really confused too... at first I thought he was describing why most of NS is actually conservative.




I will say something though... and it's sorta confusing. Why are most if not all of the more loud conservatives all from the Northeast? You'd expect them to be from Wyoming or Idaho or some other batshit place, but they all seem to live in blue as fuck New England lol.

This. Also not sure if it's just the start of a swing but it seems like a lot of people were all liberal to rebel against their parents who never understood them. I just remember seeing kids with obama stickers and stuff, like lol, what do you know about the world child?


That said it really doesn't matter as the two main parties might as well merge into one because they do the same shit.

Lol, so many of the people on this site take their opinions straight from their party's mouth. There are only a few members on this site even worth having a political discussion with. Everyone else, I can pretty much guess their views on every "major" issue.

If you want anyone to take your political views seriously:
1. Form your own opinions on current issues, economy, war, etc.
2. Stay the fuck away from bullshit parties, especially the two major ones. Even if you totally agree with one or the other, stay independent. Parties spend millions of dollars every year hoping to turn you into a diehard member.
3. Vote for those who best reflect your opinions regardless of their party.

It seems like the hardcore liberals on this site are more inclined to post a ton in politically themed threads. I feel like the vast majority of more conservative members do the smart thing and keep their mouths shut for fear of being called racist, sexist etc. I am definitely a conservative person, not bible thumping, but still very right wing. I choose not to voice my opinions on NS regarding social matters because i know certain people *cough dingo and uglyboy cough* would freak the fuck out and its just not worth it.

Because a lot of new englanders grow up in well educated families with parents in the financial sector. Also to be real about it conservatives are more logical with how they handle money. Thats the thing about a lot of conservatives here is they don't give a fuck about social issues which conservatives from the south are clearly ape shit crazy when it comes to things like birth control, homosexuals, climate change. But they wanna save money, ie lower taxes, so they are conservative. Everyone in the northeast is pretty much in agreement though when it comes to social issues but its not very involved.

So people with a different political view are a serious problem? That in my mind sums up why the US Government is almost always at a standstill. Politicians are too concerned about what party they belong to and what party brought up the idea than actually getting things done and helping the country. What the hell do I know about politics though. I'm just a highschool senior. The one thing that annoys me the most is when classmates criticize any politician. Republican or Democrat, being a politician seems crazy hard and unforgiving. I know I couldn't do any better than any of the politicians out there now, so I choose not to talk shit.

First off all, liberals are the minority. And it shouldn't piss you off. Liberals aren't perfect, but they're a hell of a lot better than conservatives. Liberals care about global warming, and you should too if you want skiing to exist in 80 years.

Meanwhile California hasn't had a normal snowfall since 2011 - which was a crazy ass 800+ inch snowy ass cold winter...

I have lived a perfect suburban life, but I still work, believe in the rights for people and other liberal views but also believe in conservative views. My parents have money and I don't have shit, thats very apparent to me my parents are very willing to assist me but have always ensured that they push me towards being a productive member of society. I pay my taxes and work at a grocery store. Ya I'm not self-sufficient but how many 19 years old university students are?
I don't think all of us suburban white kids are all assholes that don't understand the value of everything.

The stupidity in that post burns my eyes. The extreme snowstorms in the NorthEast were caused by climate change. Contrary to popular myth, climate change does not just mean everything gets warmer. Climate change causes there to be fewer, but more powerful snowstorms, such as the one in Boston. There is still less snow and a shorter winter overall. Also, are you forgetting the midwest and california. California had one of their worst winters ever. Due to the draught, (also an effect of global warming) snowpack is the worst its been in a century and the ski season was shorter. Source: http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2015/04/01/sierra-snowpack-drought-california-lake-tahoe/70760264/

If climate change goes unchecked, there may be only indoor skiing in california in a hundred years. as for the midwest: "In the Midwest, average annual temperatures increased over the last several decades. Heat waves are becoming more frequent and cold periods are becoming rarer. Snow and ice are arriving later in the fall and starting to melt earlier in the spring. Heavy downpours now occur twice as frequently as they did a century ago. [1] These trends are likely to continue under future climate change: average summer temperatures are projected to increase by 3°F over the next few decades and could increase by over 10°F by the end of this century. This range would make summers in Illinois and Michigan feel like those in present-day Texas and Oklahoma, respectively. [1]" Source: http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/impacts-adaptation/midwest.html

As to "warming my ass," of course you, some random scientifically uneducated dumbass at a computer knows more than the thousands of scientists conducting thousands of studies, virtually all of which indicate climate change is real and a threat. I'm sure the 97% of climate scientists that say climate change is real are all wrong, and you are right.

Although skiing may be around forever, the seasons will be shorter, there will be less snow, it will be more expensive, and there will be fewer locations. As to "you can always go to Dubai bro,' i dont know about you, but I'd rather not buy a plane ticket to Dubai every time I want to go skiing.

educate yourself, you stupid fuck.

To op, I suspect you probably have a very distorted view of what liberalism is. Why would people having progressive views piss you off?
