Are you Bohemian or Conservative?

Or perhaps a bit of both; or a conservative Bohemian (yes, they certainly have existed); or neither! Perhaps you were Bohemian when younger and have got more conservative, or the reverse. Perhaps you find yourself in the strange position of
being less conservative than your own children. Do you think Bohemianism still exists, or has it been eradicated? Which to you have been the great ages of Bohemia? Let's talk Bohemia.

Bohemian? Do you mean what we Yanks call Liberal?If so, Then I am Bohemian. I couldn't be any other way my mom would haunt me if I were to be conservative. I am straight but not narrow. I am pro choice and for freedom of religion or freedom from religion.I couldn't be any other way.

We understand the term "liberal" too. But historically, there have been many non-liberal bohemians, so I wouldn't say they were synonymous terms. Although today, s'far as I am aware bohemianism and liberalism tend to go hand in hand.

Sounds fascinating. There are no Bohemian areas too near me, although there is a town nearby which has a large student population. For real Bohemia, you have to go to London city centre, say somewhere like Camden Town. There, Rock stars, artists and bohemians mingle.
