If my daughter became a Democrat that would do it for me. Not a chance though.

First thing I think of: a psychotic tin-foil wearing neurotic. But then I think lovingly of all the ones I have here on CD & breathe a sigh of relief that you're not blood. Ahhh....anywho: to be serious, I think it would be someone who turned out to be completely incapable of human emotion. Kind of like Christian Slater in "American Psycho". I think some of you may be more than aware of that movie. Edit::: It's Christian Bale, NOT Christian Slater. SORRY!

Ok was that there before?

I chose a drug user that would break my heart for them to destroy themselves that way, the alcoholic one would be second the rest are things I could deal with, well the raciest thing not so much but the others sure.

*Phew!* That's a toughie as I'd have to list several. Racist, Islamic convert, IV drug user are the three that I would view as the worse followed closely by alcoholism. Although I strongly am against homosexuality, I can stomach that over the other three option. I'm not too concerned with political ideology though.

Other: if my daughter married an abusive man yet stuck with him and rationalized why she should stay.

Drug abuse and alcoholism also if nothing I did to help would work. It must really hurt to see your child in a dangerous situation that they refuse to acknowledge. Mine aren't old enough yet for me to potentially encounter this.

And racism would sting, since she wouldn't get that from me or my values, so once she turned out that way, how could I get her to be non-racist?
