How cool are you?
I find it interesting how we see ourselves and how that shapes our thoughts and perceptions of others. Just for fun.
Do you think you could pin down someones political ideology based on your appraisal of if they are cool/look cool or not?

I'm not cool, as far as I can determine. I'm many things, but "cool" is not an adjective that comes to mind.

(5,937 posts)Romney, not so much, but what if they were reversed? Having the same appearance, demeanor, and Obama was Republican and Romney was Democrat would we see them as we do now?

Johnny made his political affiliation known to the world in 2002, when the Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. After thanking all who made the honor possibleclad in his trademark T-shirt, ripped blue jeans and leather jackethe said "God bless President Bush, and God bless America".[10] He said in an interview, when questioned on his conservatism, "I think Ronald Reagan was the best President of my lifetime."
