My parents don't want me to get involved in politics.

[Dangerman]

They said I must keep my feelings inside me and never let it out.

1. How old are you?

And what were you talking about that they responded in this manner?

[Dangerman]

4. I'm 31.

And when I received some anti-GOP sticker i ordered yesterday, my parents think it's some kind of Neo-Nazi propaganda. They want me to keep my feelings inside me and not criticize the GOP.

8. I can't believe you care what your parents think! Grow up and---

just avoid the subject when you are with them.

[MsTryska]

18. My Mom feels the same way.....

actually she an i share many of the same opinions, but she doesn't want me sharing them with the public.

her primary reason is that she worries about my safety, tho. she doesn't entirely trust freedom fo speech.

and witht he sign thefts and people getting run off the roads, and well, the Patriot Act, i suppsoe i can't really blame her.

9. You know you are old enough

remind your parents that this is NOT Germany, and that we will oppose them

IF they don't like it they can keep it to themselves

Oh and politics affect them as much as it affects you...

And if they don't like it, you are OLD ENOUGH.

Damn I hate these nazi tactics and I have seen this movie before, NAZI GERMANY

11. My Mom told me just the other day

To give up on these "crazy Internet conspiracy theories" because it's unhealthy. I wrote back, "It's not only healthy, but necessary and patriotic based on what our founding documents say" and gave her links to The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. She's been silent since.

[KurtNYC]

12. Everyone is involved in politics

whether they want to be or not.

[jerseygirl]

13. Y'all are cruel

Leave the poor guy alone.

That said... Dangerman: I recently left journalism for politics, a move my folks weren't crazy about. I consulted them and value their opinions, but still followed my gut and made my own decision. Suggest you do the same.

14. Your parents are your parents. You are you.

The sooner you realize that, the better for your mental health.

[RaleighNCDUer]

15. Good advice.

The gummint won't arrest you if it doesn't know what you're thinking.

[Paradise]

17. Do you still live at home?

If you do, under their roof you must live by their rules.

That said, if you still live at home, GET THE FUCK OUT NOW!!! YOU'RE 31 FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!!

If you don't still live at home, nevermind.
