Is it like the "cool" thing to be liberal in college? I met some of my sister's friends and we some how got into talking about politics and they are all fucking liberal as hell.

Wait, I'm not sure if "liberal" is the right word though. They all share the same opinions and most of them seem liberal. They're for gay marriage, they hate Bush, against the war, etc. Regardless of their position on the political spectrum, they all have the SAME values!
I'm pretty conservative, and when I said I don't agree with gay marriage, they looked at me like I'm some kind of evil motherfucker. Like how could I dare do such a thing. Is it somehow evil to have different beliefs now?

It's the same thing at my school. I didn't think much about it because I thought it was just my school that's like this but apparently not. In one of my classes, we talked about people who refuse to vote but actively voice their opinions on politics. THe professor wanted to know what we thought about people like that. I was the only one who said people have the right not vote as well as the right to vote. All the other kids looked at me like an outcast. They began ranting about how it's so fucking important to excercise your right blah blah blah.

It's the same shit with everything else. It's like not "acceptable" to hold an opinion that's different from rest of the school or some shit. I'm starting to think that college kids, or young people in general, have the political values they do only because it's what's accepted by their peers. I guess it's "cool" to be rebellious against the government and their conservative parents or whatever.
