You're using the contemporary definition. The historical definition of liberal meant someone who was a progressive thinker, someone who was for progressive change.

Nowadays, it's defined by John Edwards, John Kerry, and John Kennedy :D

I'm a sophomore in high school. I like classic rock. I plan on becoming a teacher.

I'm a democratic socialist. I'm pro-choice (though I strongly dislike the concept of abortion), pro-gay marriage, and vegetarian. I think drug laws in the US are too harsh and should focus more on rehabilitation than on punishment, though I myself would never do drugs.

I spent 2 years in Belgium. I speak French fluently, and my Spanish is, though not fluent, rather good. I'm learning Italian. I speak a few random phrases of Hebrew, and intend to learn more. I'm also going to learn Chinese from one of my friends. I'm considering learning Swahili if I have time. I can say two words in Russian, and one of them is an obscenity ><

10-04-2007, 02:43
My name's Mike, I'm a seventeen year old heterosexual male from Pennsylvania and I'm currently unemployed and enrolled in my second semester at a local community college. I was home schooled along with my two brothers and raised in a basically abusive, sheltered environment by a paranoid, domineering father and an emotionally scarred but nevertheless supportive and loving mother. I keep myself occupied and sane through escapism of all kinds; mostly the internet, gaming, writing, reading, role-playing, school, and spending time with my friends and girlfriend. I have come to take a certain amount if pride in my emotional resilience and empathy - I'm the sympathetic ear for those close to me, always stable, always supportive, and never judgmental. However, I also tend to be a very secretive, private person with many, many facades I wear on a daily basis.

Politically, I've come to terms with the fact that what I believe, what I know, and what I support is completely meaningless in the context of society at large. Generally I view radical ideologues as misguided and hopelessly passionate about something that will never come to be. Be honest, no matter how much you argue about communism, human rights, peace, or equality, your voice isn't going to faze the status quo. I've come to accept the world as it as, flawed and cruel, and instead devote my energies to what I can impact in some way. I do what I can locally in terms of community service, and I support politicians I know to be good, useful people. On a large scale, my politics are centrist, but not in the milquetoast, fence sitter sort of way. I personally feel that partisan politics (especially in America) is one of the most senseless, idiotic farces ever given serious consideration and I lament the fact that government no longer represents or embodies the people it was created to serve.

Religiously/philosophically, I've never found a name that adequately represents my beliefs. I believe in God, but in none of the institutions or mythologies developed by man. Rather, the infinite, all encompassing Order that shapes and guides the universe and all things, known and unknown. In essence, I see science as the study of God. I see life as a long term result of a string of causality, endlessly building on itself, coming to know itself, and coming to know it's creator. I love the concept of evolution dearly, because it illustrates such a hopeful picture of our nature. To think that once a barren and lifeless mass of rock spawned life and that life became what it is today is a deeply humbling, awe-inspiring thought. Morality and ethics, both dear to my heart, have little to do with some divine judgment/karmic bitchslap or set of rules set down by an omnicreepy voyeur deciding who goes where. Any benefit of moral living is purely for the here and now, done for the sake of goodwill towards man. I'm staunchly Humanistic in this regard.

Err, anything else? How about... I like sex? Yeah, I like sex. I consider it a form of art worthy of a life time devoted to perfecting.

That's about it. :p

Well, it's simple. Enlist in the Army, selecting Infantry as your MOS. Show great skill with the M-16 in BRM. Go to Airborne School and RIP, get into a Ranger Battalion, and then go to the US Army Sniper School.

The rest is dependant on a supply of targets

Probably seven or eight. Cases where my spotter and I agreed it was a hit in the center of mass or head, and the target did not leave the area under his own power while we were watching. Either the enemy figured out where we were quickly, and we had to move out, or they quickly moved the injured man out of our line of sight, or the target simply fell where we couldn't see him. In those cases, we had to report the shot as "hit, but unconfirmed."
