There is only one correct answer. This is a scientific test of your perception.

Tbey did polls of working people and the overwhelming majority would rather have a beer with Bush.

Bush just seems like more of a regular guy.

And I voted for Kerry, becuase I thought he was slightly better(I think Bush has been a bad president).

I'd still love to have a beer with Bush though. He strikes me as a nice guy.

He was an alcoholic. Not any more - at least, not that I can tell.

Besides, no one ever says not to drink in front of Ted Kennedy even though he is clearly still an alcoholic. His cheeks are constantly red from all the bourbon he consumes.

Not that it's a bad thing. I'm just pointing that out.

You do realize that once your an Alcholic, you never stop being one?

Alcholism is for life.

You didnt want to have a beer with Ted, so I didn't mention him.

Re: Your Favorite Bush family member
 
Yes, I guess Bush is then considered an alcoholic for life, but he is no longer consuming alcohol, period. He's supposedly been dry since 1986, but in reality I think it's more like 1994, since I saw a video of him drunk in the early 90s. The point is that most people have said that Bush hasn't had a drink in 10 years.

Forgive the beer comment.

I guess what I'm saying is that I think Bush would be a cooler guy to hang out with than Kerry, because he seems like more of a regular guy.

I can't relate to windsurfing or skiing at Vail, but I can relate to going fishing or cutting weeds.

Bush may be rich, but he doesn't flaunt it and he likes doing things that "regular" guys like to do, and I like that.

I think I would also like to hang out with a guy like Edwards, even though I'm not a big trial lawyer fan.

Still didn't vote for him though because of Iraq, and because I think his social policies could use a little work. I agree with him on economic policies, however.

Know what I'm sayin'?

One has to be careful about stating that "alcoholism is for life". This falls in the area of science where proof of such assertions are impossible. So it is really just a theory, and in a Political Correct society a lot of theories are declared as facts without any real evidence.

Alcoholism and homosexuality both fall into this grey zone. Everyone thinks they know the truth, but no really can know for sure given the evidence available.

Twelve step programs promote the lifetime addiction stance, but it is still just a theory.

I agree Bush is more of a 'common'[whatever this may be] man, but I find people[no necessarily you] who use this attribute as criteria for being President of the United States rather ridiculous. I want someone exceptional.

Anyway I voted for Barney.

Re: Your Favorite Bush family member
 
Well I didn't use it as a criteria for voting for him, because... I didn't vote for him. Haha.

I'm just saying that my vote for Kerry was more a vote against some of Bush's policies than a vote for Kerry, because, honestly, Kerry was a terrible candidate.

He was a flip-flopping elitist who had no core. But he was still better.

I really don't see the [censored]/alcoholic analogy since we're not talking about addiction with the former, but I think it's pretty widely believed that alcohol addition is a lifetime addiction. Just because you don't drink doesn't mean you're no longer an alcoholic. That's why alcoholics quit drinking entirely rather than just cut back. And why they refer to themselves as "recovering" alcoholics, but not "recovered". Either way, no skin off my nose though, and I don't know why "we have to be careful" about it. i'll state it to anyone. What does it matter?

Whereas Alcholism can be beaten through sheer willpower and determintation, no amount of willpower will make a homosexual find women attractive. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

The fundamentalists would disagree with you on that.

it is an important question though.

I do believe that homosexuality is innate, and not a choice. If, however, it were found to be a choice(which I doubt), then it would shine a whole new light on possible workplace protections for gays, etc.

I wasn't making a linkage on the issue of addiction. I was making a linkage on the issue of both being in a scientific grey area where we are not yet able to empirically prove our assumptions about these conditions (both being in the mind - an area science has a long way to go in understanding).

Assertions about alcoholism (lifetime assertion), and assertions about sexuality (born with it assertion), are not yet proven by science.

Thats the thing my man, Alcholism IS considered a diesease! Albeit only by those science types you seem to have disdain for.

We are only able to mitigate against Alcholism at this time, not fully cure it.

There is a dispute in the treatment field. Al Anon is a big proponent of the lifetime addiction theory, and any treatment program that encourages attendance of AA meetings will agree. Treatment programs independent of AA often treat alcoholism as a curable disease, on the other hand.

The dominance of AA in this society means that most people in the treatment industry almost have to agree with the AA position to prosper in their profession.
