[QUOTE="Dr Sbaitso, post: 1348181, member: 15070"] Hello OKShooters, my name is Dr Sbaitso, I am here to help you (actually, I'm here for you to help me). I've visited this site while doing Google searches and have always found the answer I need regarding reloading, so I figured I'd sign up to ask a random, unrelated question that can't be found with simple Google searches. First off, I'll come clean and admit that I'm not the [B][I]real[/I][/B] Dr Sbaitso, just a huge fan. Nor am I a real doctor. I am a 20 year old single white male, I enjoy home cooking, holding hands, and quilting (gotcha!). Ok, let's get cereal... Top off your coffee and add an extra dash of Baileys, you might be here for a while. I hate labels, maybe because they're stupid or maybe because they confuse me, especially political labels. And after this last election, I can't take the confusion anymore and I have to know what I am. When I ask what I am, I'm referring to any of the million different political affiliation and standpoint labels out there. There's liberal, conservative, libertarian, conservative liberalism, and many more plus any combination of those countless terms. I am a Republican and much believe in a limited, constitutional Government, but it's just not that easy, and as much as I try to figure out for myself, I leave with more questions than I do satisfactory answers. So what I'll do is give a breakdown of my beliefs and I need your help to help me help myself figure out just what to call myself. I will focus on some of the most popular subjects, if I skip over something that you need to know in order to give a better answer, then by all means ask me how I feel about it, I have an opinion about everything (hot chocolate tastes better with milk than it does water). So here it blows... I am not religious (dabbled in mormanism, baptism, then moved to being agnostic and now athiest) I am pro-choice. I don't believe it's for everyone, especially with the attitude of "it's ok to not use protection, I'll just get an abortion" and only believe it's ok up to a certain point in the pregnancy.
