Are your social values more in line with liberals or conservatives?
John Dibble had said that Libertarians tend to have socially conservative values even if they favor social liberty. I wonder why Libertarians would be more likely to be socially conservative. (though perhaps it would explain why Libertarians tend to emphasize economic issues over social issues.)
Many people tell me I'm a libertarian, even though I have a blue avatar, so I'll answer your question in this manner:
- drugs: I will not, and do not, do any drugs. I recognize others' rights to do it, but I'm not going to destroy my life like that.
- same sex marriage: I do not believe in same sex marriages. Marriage is for a man and a woman to start a family. I hold pretty much the Greek philosophy. Many Greek men had relationships with other men, but they never redefined marriage. I don't believe in doing that either.
- gun control: I'm against any gun control. It is a civil right.
- prostitutes: I would never use one, never have, and never will.
