Have you ever lived anywhere else besides where you live now?
#10
RE: Have you ever lived anywhere else besides where you live now?
I was born in California, grew up in Oregon, served in the Air Force in Washington after training in Texas, and I've since lived in New Mexico. My political leanings have shifted drastically as I've moved. I started out taking after my parents in a heavily-sheltered right wing Christian home. I thought like they did because I that's just what I was expected to do. As I moved further out, my parents weren't able to shelter me from the world so much anymore. I was very centrist for a while as I started to recognize my own views of people in other cities. It was only recently that I've started to shift just left of center after facing more hard truths about life far from "home" that I never had to consider before.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
