... here at YA, and that the content of your posts, along with your identity, would become known nation-wide, would you continue to express yourself in the same terms you use now?
For instance, would you be any more or less respectful of other people and their views? Would you use bad language? Etc.
This question is for all, regardless of political affiliation.

eh... I think at times I take some privileges of being anonymous... play the devil's advocate sometimes even for points I may not exactly believe in just to move the conversation along (not to say I do this all the time... but it has happened)...
I try not to call to many names... I think it hurts your credibility on here... if anyone has any left...
but I wouldn't say I'm ashamed... just some people probably wouldn't understand my movtives...
so to answser the question... I would be a little more carefull and take a little more time... but I wouldn't change a lot overall...

Nope, I wouldn't change much - though I'm funnier one-on-one or in front of a crowd and mincing my words when in a heated debate or putting someone on the hot-seat by asking one loaded question after another as I humiliate the living daylights out of them... Thrills me so much I generally do it on a monthly basis at City Council meetings.
There's rules made just because of me!!
No longer can people step up to the microphone and ask the Mayor why she (at the time) hasn't done this or that.
The sign clearly said, "Do not question or argue with the Mayor" "The meetings are televised and open debating will not be allowed"
LMAO
Never had I sworn, raised my voice or interrupted them... But it's always a gas!

I've always thought this was the NY Times. I've noticed some of the same silly ideas in their paper that I've read here. Now I see why my comments haven't appeared in the morning edition. At any rate, I wouldn't change a thing.

I'd still be railing on the GOP and their corruption. And, I'd rail on the Dems for not cutting the funding to Bush's war to end the war now. But I wouldn't call them names. I'd just go point by point by point using facts and information backed by documentation. I try not to call people names now on Yahoo answers. That can change if cons e-mail and attack me verbally. So, I'd stay the same pretty much.

this is a scary question - if YA was used like that then the US would no longer be free but a police state and the free speech forum we enjoy by flinging our opinions (sometimes not thought out ones ) at each other - this place would be empty -

I wouldn't change a thing.
If the corporate media had done its job instead of covering for all of Bush's lies and blunders for the past 7 years, I wouldn't have to be here doing it for them.

for the most part I wouldn't change.
there have been some posts where I've gotten angry and said some not-so-nice things and I'd definatly want to try and control my temper better.
I'd also use spell check more often. (god I am horrid at spelling)

I would probably be the same. I speak straight forwardly and am not fond of or very tolerant of fools and that includes TV reporters.

Naturally, I wouldn't have to change anything because I am already respectful of others and I don't use foul languague or expletives.

I would change that 5% of the time that I tend to be a smart butt. Other than that, I wouldn't change at all.
