    Regarding racism, gayness, hating the english bla bla bla,im more liberal
    Im now and athiest and wasnt when I was 18.
    Regarding politics, I think ive become more liberal in terms of the fact that I have never been so annoyed with our right wing government as I am now,not to mention those weasels that are fine gael trying to benefit from it.

    However in my own life Ive become more conservative, no more weed or other drugs,dont like getting as drunk as I used,alot more serious about a good career for myself as opposed to wanting to be a musician or something idealistic.
    But what also makes me conservative is the ignorance of over liberalist socialists (often students) that havent learned the realities of life and money.

    He who dies with the most toys, wins?
    He who dies with the most toys is still dead...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Well I was 19 about 5 or 6 weeks ago, so I probably haven't changed much in that time!

    I guess I am more of a liberal than a conservative, although as someone said before those terms are thrown around so often they've prettyt much lost any real meaning. Politically I'd describe myself as centre-left.

    26 now and certainly more Liberal, but only because I have spent more time in reading up on current events, history and paid attention to economic, political and other issues. When I was 18, the only thing I cared about was myself and how to cure a hangover. It's not that I have become more Liberal, it's just that I have opened my eyes a bit more.
