Did you know that in the States, "shag" is a variety of carpet with no sexual connotations whatever on the word?

Over here being liberal is being in favour of personal freedom.....big on freedom of speech, freedom to shag whoever you like, eat/inhale whatever you like....basically the idea that people should be able to do whatever they want so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.

I think that about covers it. If i left anything out, I'm sure there are a few posters who'll fill in the blanks.

The only thing you left out was some well deserved applause.

I'd be interested to hear some american definitions of the word liberal....

In the usa it appears to mean....confusingly....left wing, and a lot of other crap as well....I end up defending some strange positions when I tell americans I consider myself a hardcore liberal....anymerican like to share their views on what liberal views are?

First of all, we don't believe in working. We believe that the government should tax the rich and send us the money so we can buy big televisions to spend our days watching Michael Moore film fests on PBS.

Second, we believe that in addition to taxing rich people and passing the money on to us, government's primary role is to pass laws forbidding people from doing anything we don't think they should be doing, such as smoking tobacco or owning firearms. It is, however, important to note that government has no business whatsoever passing any laws that prevent us from doing what we want to do, like smoking marijuana and having abortions.

Third, nothing anyone does is their fault, unless they're a Republican. Anything a Republican does is their fault, and in fact, everything anyone who is not a Republican does is probably a Republican's fault somehow. Anyone who is not a Republican deserves an unlimited number of second chances, because they wouldn't have done it in the first place if the Republicans hadn't screwed things up so badly. All Republicans, on the other hand,  should go to jail everytime they... well... they should just all go to jail, period. It would make everything a lot easier.

Fourth, you don't know what you're talking about. Nobody does. Except us. Anytime a conservative and a liberal disagree, the conservative is wrong, because they are not a liberal. And don't even try to tell me this doesn't make sense, because like i said, you're wrong. Because you don't know what you're talking about.

Fifth, schools are not for learning. They are for building childrens' self-esteem, so that they can be confident and happy in life. They don't need to learn anything - if you raise them right, they're going to grow up to be liberals anyway, and they'll know everything they need to know. The grading system should be abolished, and all children should be passed automatically.

And sixth, we want you to pay for our health care. Because we deserve it. Any kind of health care we need, anytime, the best we can find. But we don't want your grandmother to get any health care at all, because she's going to die anyway, and the sooner she does the more money we'll have to spend on plastic surgery and hair transplants for illegal aliens.

I think that about covers it. If i left anything out, I'm sure there are a few posters who'll fill in the blanks.
