Actually, I resented it for quite a while... it's a little spooky for me to think that I am 'owned' spiritually by the catholic church unless excommunicated.
That lasted exactly as long as I believed the catholic church had weight in my life. In the end, that faded, but there was a time when I had faith in the church.
Should I receive Confirmation? Advice needed

I think that the fact that most of the responses that think that confirmation is a good idea, based in the premise that none of his new movie is not very believable anyway, is pretty instructive.

Guys, you'll stop being liberal when you own a house or get your first paycheck?
In outher words greed kicks in and you instantly become conservative?
I've been doing both (getting paid and homeowning) and if anything I'm no less liberal.
Many middleagers are cons but once they get old they become liberal again. The circle of life... So just save yourself the trouble and stay liberal.

I think Plissken posted drunk last night. It happens.
Kins, what does greed have to do with it? We like keeping the money we earn, rather than being taxed 3 times (payroll tax, earned interest tax, sales tax) on every dollar we make. We'd like the government to butt the hell out of our lives. And we'd like to see other people working for a living, rather than living off the dole.
That's not greed, that's common sense.
Wow this thread got derailed.

That's certainly not the conservative agenda. They love giving our money back to corporate america.

I am a home owner AND I work for a living, and I'm still liberal. That's because I really AM for the culture of life--not just for making people have babies they don't want and can't afford so they can watch them live in poverty and die in ignorance.
Nothing but love for my con pals, poor deluded sots that they are.

No, that is the conservative agenda. Unfortunately, the current administration is not conservative (in the classical sense).Kinslaughterer wrote:That's certainly not the conservative agenda. They love giving our money back to corporate america.

I love Cail.
The man couldn't tell a lie without his tongue snapping off (or in this case his fingers).
Hee hee hee.

I suspect that, in reality, he is referring to his own post, not Kins's. It sure struck me funny though.

Uhhhh, whoops. Yeah, the conservative agenda is what I typed. I really need to proofread better.
