1: You don’t have to worry about the thread getting nasty, that’s for me to worry about. So let’s discuss this from any angle that we want to.

OK

2: I don’t discuss politics much so how have you reached the conclusion that I’m conservative in my political views? Culture means nothing to me if it’s not in line with Islam. My views, like most Pakistani desis, about everything from clothing to using the toilet are governed by religion so it is obvious that whatever conclusion you have reached about me is** because of my religious views** so again how do we keep religion out of this one?

if you say so..i will remove your name from the list. No need to get upset.

5: The definitions would’ve been different if I had asked another guppy whose thought process is different to yours. So the categories themselves hold no weight as there is no one definition for them. Like Enigmatic said,** it is subjective**.

WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY I CREATED THIS THREAD! I want to understand what’s considered liberal, conservative, and moderate views in desi community. You seem quite conservative to me COMPARED to other desis on this forum.

And I wonder how I managed to survive in a conservative catholic country, making a tonne of friends of all religions, races, cultures, colours, shapes and sizes along the way, without being tolerant of their ideas and behaviour. Going by your definition, I’m quite a liberal! Hey there should be a 4th category - the liberaservatives!

Being conservative doesn’t mean you HATE people. Making friends with other groups of people doesn’t make you a liberal. like I said, I am comparing YOU with the other members of THIS forum that I know…
