Are your political views the same as your parents?

[lokiju]

Just wondering what others had to say on this since it seems that a lot of people just inherit their parents opinions/views/beliefs.


I would personally fall under "mixed bag" for both since I share some of their views but not all, whereas my brother has the same for both items as them.

 

[SophalotJack]

My parents are conservative democrats.

I am a loser... so no, not much in common except that we get along with each other.

 

[Lonyo]

Umm, no idea really.
I'm not sure what my parents beliefs are, although I'm fairly sure my dad isn't religious, so I share that belief.
Otherwise, no idea, so I didn't inherit anything.

 

[Chaotic42]

Birth parents? No on both counts
Adopted parents? Pretty similar, but not quite the same.

I'm pretty conservative, just like my adopted parents.

 

[FoBoT]

yes
yes
although i am probably more conservative than they (and they have never voted for a democrat in a presidential election)

 

[theknight571]

Religious views: 90% the same

Political views: 75% the same

 

[ch33zw1z]

i voted no and no

 

[ch33zw1z]

i voted no and no

 

[Theb]

Political views are a mixed bag.

Nope on religion though. My parents are theists and I am not.

 

[So]

No, and mixed bag (but mostly).

 

[Kwaipie]

Yes and Yes
My mother got the force fed organized religion from her parents even though they didn't participate so she spared my brother and I from that B.S.
She's a liberal democrat, we agree on most of the key political issues, although, my brother is becoming a dreadful conservative.

mom 'n dad came from the Secret War.

conservative, I try to be.

grew up here in America, hmm.. a little bit liberal, so freedom is not a bad thing, I mean, breath a little for cryin' out loud~

so I say I'm in between, you can't fly without two wings. I'm mid-wing.

longest journey -- power of the balance...

ghost recon: advanced warfare -- one shot one kill, Mitchell_!!!!!!, you only get one shot at life! don't mess up!

My parents are dead, so I can't ask them about their political views. I answered "no" to both of your questions BTW.

 

[dullard]

Damn you for switching the polls from the order in your topic title. I may have voted incorrectly. I did stop the browser quickly and revoted, so I don't know which vote counted.

My parents are mixed politically, so I usually side with one and not the other. Mixed Bag.

My parents are both Christian, and I'm an realistic athiest. Thus, no, I do not share religious views with them.

 

[ScottyB]

Parents: Middle-of-the-road Democrats; Christians.
Me: Far left, close to Socialist; Athiest.

 

[mattocs]

We believe that religion is a crock of sh!t, but I am a little bit more liberal in political beliefes.

 

[Specop 007]

Religious: Not so much so.
Political: Didnt used to be, but now they are.

Opps, didn't even realize I did that

 

[Feldenak]

Mixed Bag on both counts.

 

[DaShen]

My religious and political views are my own.

Some of them were shaped by my parents, but we disagree on a lot of things.

**EDIT**
My values are quite similar to my parents though.

#1 mixxed

#2 def no

 

[flyboy84]

My mom is a moderate democrat/non-practicing Jew
My dad is a conservative republican/non-practicing Methodist who converted to Judaism

I am a moderate republican/athiest

 

[Jawo]

I tend to follow my dad's religious views, but definatly not politics. My mom was a Republican and my dad is a Democrat, so its kinda hard to blend the two. I tend to fall pretty much in the dead cneter of the political spectrum (I have taken multiple "political identity" tests).

 

[WildHorse]

No, mine are my own, and usually seem radically different than views of almost everybody else.

In both areas, my views usually are very antiestablishment, nontraditional.

Let's rally a viable 3rd party!!! Charge! Where's Thomas Jefferson now that we need him?

I shared my dads political views pretty much until I was in my early 20's. I never really knew what my moms views were until I was 30.
