| Q & A Thread (Posted on 1/23/13 at 10:32 am)
I'm curious as to our differences. There are some wide differences in beliefs and ideals on this board and thought I'd see how different backgrounds may come into play.
Conservative, Liberal or Moderate
Registered Party
Age (Just give a range if you aren't comfortable putting an exact age down)
Parental Occupations
Your occupation (If applicable)
Religous or Non-believer (If religous, rate your observance level on a scale of 1-10. 10 being extremly religous, 1 being you believe in a higher power but do not practice any religous activities, with the exception of mainstreet holidays such as Christmas & Easter)
Where were you raised (Midwest, Deep South, Northeast...etc)
Education Level
Single parent upbringing or dual parent household (Note if your parents divorced before you left the nest)
Gun owner (Of any type and caliber. If yes, main reason for owning one such as self defense, heirloom, hunting...etc.)
ETA: Feel free to add any life experiences that helped mold your views (Military service, overseas missions, charity work...etc. Thanks Ace)
I'll go first of course:
Moderatly Conservative
Democrat
26
Dad is a union crane operator. Mom stayed at home with the exception of a few part time jobs to make ends meet during school hours only.
Construction Manager (Refineries)
Religous, 4/10
Deep South
Bachelor's Degree
Dual Parent
Yes, Hunting & self Defense

Label your self however you want. I'm just trying to see where in the political spectrum people consider themselves. I'm just curious as to how much backgrounds play a part.

I'm trying to get people to describe themselves in their own words. I really think that many people will be surprisingly different than what they seem to be on this board. There has already been a couple of interesting observations. I'm not judging anyone, at least on this thread
