See the bolded parts? Yeah, that's what I meant just then by liberal

You can't use liberal outside of a political sense unless you're talking about a "liberal helping" of something. Your definition of liberal isn't real. You can't argue against this point because it isn't an opinion, it's etymological fact.
Huh... Good to see I still can debate.
It's still a generalisation, what you mean to say is that of the bi-sexual people you've met most seem to be "liberal". Given your attitude it would also be fair to suggest that you don't know any great number of bi-sexuals because a dislike of a group bigots an avoidance of them.
Oh for pity's sake, I know it's a generalization! I didn't deny it. You want a clarification of my position?
I know quite a lot of people (15-ish) who claim to be Bisexuals, and the vast majority of them are just a bunch of trendy, over-educated ponces who really don't know the difference between their backside and their mouth. Most of them have only been in Heterosexual relationships, but still throw claims around that they're Bi. People make the claim, a lot of the time, as a fashion statement. A lot of people who make claims as fashion statements are tossers. Okay, so their not Bisexuals; but that still leaves the impression that a lot of people who claim to be bisexuals are just fakers.
Of the 3-or-so people out of that 15 that actually have engaged in relations with both men and women, all three grind my gears. I suppose I'm a bit out of touch with the world today, but I can't stand them; the promiscuous, whiny, over-educated, socialist nonces.
I'm not saying that every single bisexual on the planet is doing it for the 'street cred', or that all genuine bisexuals are tossers, but the small portion of the Bisexual community I know doesn't account for the entirety of it.
Just having had such a bad relationship with bisexuals
I know of has created a negative pre-disposition towards them.
I'm not a bigot, just a tad judgemental- and I can always be proved wrong.
I'm not going to argue with you on your opinion on bi-sexuals, repulsive as I find them.
Fair enough.
Will you argue with me on my very biased and negative opinion on students from Leicester who are small-time rockers? I really need some rage.
