Have you ever lived anywhere else besides where you live now?

What a cuntnazi.

Dudes.  You might want to take this to A69 .. and charge admission.  Hoo yeah.

Sorry, you'll have to build your spankbank elsewhere, pal.

In the summer before my final year of graduation (BS in electronics), about 40 years ago, I had the chance to go to Nantes (West of France) as trainee for 2 months.
It took me 1 month to realize that a male visitor looking for a (male) friend in Nantes is as bad as a male visitor in my city Aleppo is looking for a girl as a friend. Naturally, I concluded if I like to have a friend in Nantes it should be a girl. So after this great discovery I presented myself to the first French girl I saw (in the restaurant of the company I was visiting, Electricite de France) who had a good looking (to me in the least). We became friends till she had to leave, after about 3 weeks, for a camping holiday outside the city. She invited me since the first day to her mother's house (his father passed away a few years earlier).

My point is: What people thinks is right in their environment could be real bad in another place and vice versa.

At that time I didn't know first that all young male colleagues in the offices I was visiting thought I have to be gay for looking for 'male' friends (I used looking for local friends, male not female, anytime I visit a city in my region). Fortunately, a French citizen told me that clearly and ended my confusion. On the other hand, I disappointed, without my intention, my friend in Nantes because I tried to please her in many ways but sexually. Fortunately she understood my reason. She was a very beautiful girl. also educated, whom I didn't imagine to meet even in my dreams But, unlike most men I met, I prefer not to live 'temporary' special moments which I may never live again. This used helping me have a stable balanced life while being free and independent. We like or not, there are always trade-offs in life and one cannot get everything; in the human jungle, there is nothing for free

I am very socially liberal and economically I'm kind of slightly left leaning but a little more centrist.

Socially I'm absurdly liberal and progressive. In a very good way.

I also 'rock hard' in a sexy super fun time way but that's another topic.

I have lived in many parts around the UK but only because my family moved around a lot and I used to live with them. I never wanted to move. I like staying indoors anyway so it seemed pointless to me.

I'm male, white, heterosexual, over 40, with a military/intelligence career.

But I'm very progressive. Highly liberal on social and domestic matters. My views on economics have slowly shifted from center-left to "the revolution is coming, and I'll probably cheer for it when it arrives, depending on how violent it is".

As for foreign policy matters, I don't hold to any one ideology. I'm a pragmatist, and I can be very hawkish on some issues, dovish on some others. It's a consequence of my job.

I've lived in Connecticut, Ohio, Virginia, and Maryland.

[JackRussell]

Lived in a few places:

London, UK
Bournemouth, UK
Exeter, UK
Cambridge, UK
Suceava, Romania
Tuzla, Bosnia
Cobham, UK
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Golden, BC, Canada
Houston, Texas, USA
Uckfield, UK

Politically always been left leaning. Socialist parents and upbringing. More conservative on some issues as I have aged.(47 now)

That's not what NPR is, that's just NPR s cover.   Everyone knows it's a liberal plot to feminize men and turn our country into a socialist dystopia.  That's why we have to get rid of it, along with it's child indoctrination wing...Sesame Street.  



(it's funny, Boru, because some americans™ do actually believe this, including some americans™ in our current administration.)

One of SNL's takes on NPR. 

Next to "Colonel Angus", my favorite sketch from the 2000s.
