What issues have you changed your stance on since first joining scout?

I've evolved on several issues like Obama pretended to.

- Gay marriage

- Weed legalization

- Tax increases - I think the GOP has become absurd here. This policy of no tax increases under any circumstances is just silly.

- Foreign policy - I think foreign policy is very complex. I realize that now.
 
Hard drug legalization
lowering taxes (with loophole closes)

Those are the 2 big ones I've changed my opinion on.
 
Religion.

I see it threatening our country more than homosexuality and taxes. It scares me more and more the way it's used in politics.
 
Gay Marriage. Still don't support it and never will due to my personal beliefs/religion, but I do recognize that they should have a legal right to get married under our constitution, as long as it doesn't personally interfere with someone else's beliefs/religion.

I always accept it as long as it not accepted based on the bible/religious grounds. In saying that church is not going to be against it but will not allow a wedding or a clergy to perform it within its confines. That is fine with me.

As for the question:

Not changed my mind at all or evolved or anything like that. I am considered an asshole to both sides and always will be. So nothing has changed my opinion on either side.

The administrations since Clinton has sucked, royally sucked and it has gotten worse.
 
I've basically changed on all issues since joining scout. I was a hardcore neocon and now am a hardcore libertarian.
 
My worldview is pretty much the same, but I've gained a ton of nuance here and an appreciation for a lot of other viewpoints. If anything would qualify as a change, it would be the acceleration of my view that the Federal government is totally effed up.

And seriously, I don't know how the millenials are going to redefine the world after the previous four generations have managed to screw things up as much as they have. A lot of the mistakes resulted from good intentions, but the cumulative effect now borders on the terrifying.
 
So has anyone else challenged themselves to change some core liberal or conservative beliefs into opposite views based on new information.
