You can be fiscally conservative without being socially conservative. An example, The Log Cabin Republicans.
-------------------- To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

censorship - PMRC (Parent Music Resourse Center) Headed m=by Tipper Gore. Don't be fooled, both sides want censorship
abortion - Abortion is a 50/50 debate with both sides having their points.
stem cell research - This is where I think the republicans are way off base.
drug laws - (real liberals want decrim and legalization) - Where are these "real" Liberals? Real Republicans would be against drug laws as well. Neither side has "real" anything
gay marriage - I'm up in the air with this one but I don't have a prob with Gay people (even though it disgusts me)
religion + gov't (republican party in texas have adopted the statement that we ARe a christian country into their platform) - You also have to include the Leftist push to eliminate Religion from most social activities.
enviroment - (not really a social issue) This is a funny one because I would never consider myself Left leaning and have many friends in the same boat as I. They all love the environment and things to make it cleaner, but what many Liberals lack in this topic is common sense. One only has to look at how California is affecting the Fishing sport within it's state.

Completely balanced? A very compelling case can be made for much more of an inclination to the right than to the left on fiscal issues, as the initial study I posted showed.

I think that both communism and capitalism are too idealistic to work out in real life in their pure forms. The success of our current society is a testament to the value of balance, as I dont believe we have ever been 100% capitalist or 100% communist. Though the pendulum does tend to swing to and fro in the course of time.

Self Importance? Why? I am important, like everyone else.
Anyhow, I was referring more to any specific questions you had in mind.

Why does it disgust you?
Bet you wouldn't say no to seeing a bit of girl on girl action.

So would it be okay for lesbians to marry but not gay men?

I don't care what they do really. Even the gay men. The fact still remains how I feel about the act of being gay (men). What's your point?

The fact that you think gay sex is disgusting but not lesbian sex, it just doesn't add up. There's nothing digusting about any of it, it's part of life, deal with it like a proper realist.

I find sex with women when they're on their period discusting as well. Does that make me a hypocrite because I still want to have sex with them? Try again ace.

that's your opinion and you're entitled to it, just like a realist. It is part of life but then again so is sweatshps, rape, murder, pedaphilia, and beastility. You see in the real world we have the right to accept things even though we don't agree with it. I have no problem with people being gay, just don't expect me to support or understand it.
