For the record I'm a moderately conservative... and I don't bother with some threads because I don't want to waste my brain power.

I can vouch for this^^^
I have posted a few conservative views, only to be pounced on in somewhat the same manner that I have seen in secular forums by unbelievers.
The instance I am thinking about, I was simply stating my own beliefs, about TV and why I personally believe them, in response to a question on the subject.
I was challenged to "prove my point" and "Why are you so inconsistent?" and "Why cant you just let others make their own choices" and "why do all you conservatives push your beliefs on others" etc.
I wasn't preaching to anyone, or telling anyone they were "wrong" or they should change. I was simply stating why I feel the way I do about TV.
But I sure had several folks chomping at the bit to do the very things they were accusing me of doing.
I have seen A LOT of libs bashing the more conservative types, and complaining about how "UC's" are so preachy and "in your face". But I can't remember more than one time Ive seen the "UC's" doing that.
I'm not saying it doesnt happen, not at all, I'm just saying what I have seen in the few weeks I have been here.
Its like people do not want anyone to tell them they should be stricter on THEIR standards/beliefs, but some of them sure are quick to tell everyone else how they are wrong and should
let up on THEIR beliefs/standards.
Whats up with that?
