[Venta Icenor Um]

DOB: June 10th, 1987, (! compared to everyone else i feel so old!)
Country of Residence: United kingdom
Nationality: British
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -5.75 Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.85
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Left
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping: socialist.
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: None, in a two-party system like the one we have here today i don't feel a can identify with any of the parties available, i will be voting labour but If the only reason we vote for a party is just because you don't want the others to get in, something is seriously wrong.
Religion: Atheist
Abortion: Should be legal, if a woman believes she is in no fit state to raise a child, better that child not suffer the abuse.
War in Iraq: Strongly against, senseless waste of life on all fronts, i can't think of one good reason the war was started, it is a huge drain on the economy and the execution has been an utter disaster As instability and civil war looms on the horizon, it seems the war has not accomplished anything positive wahtsoever for anyone.
Marijuana: Like so totally legal maaaaan! same with cigarettes, sure there are negative consequences to your health for any drug, but if someone feels responsible enough to face those, it's their decision. Should be illegal for under 18s though
Firearms: Legal but very heavily restricted, here in Britain it's not as hard as you may think to buy guns, someone was offering me an AK47 in a pub once (He didn't have it on him of course)
Gay Marriage: Strongly in favor of, what right does the government think it has prying into people's relationships and personal life!? Love is probably the one biggest thing the government should not have anything to do with.
Gay adoption: Same, a same sex couple who love each other have more right to raise a child than a man and a woman who don't.
Religion in schools: Secondary (High) school students should be taught about the many different religions and be encouraged to make up their own minds, Primary school students should simply be taught diversity.
Death penalty: I reluctantly disagree. I don't see what purpose it has other than giving some short lived satisfaction to the family/friends of the victim, but doesn't help bring them back. Serial killers/ child molesters etc are simply ill, they have a disease and should be instituionalised accordingly.
However people who kill for profit, i'e those involved with organised crime or war criminals, could maybe be better off not training a new breed of petty criminals to be super villians in the prisons and so maybe death could be the only viable option for them.

[MaximiIian]

DOB: February 25, 1990.

Country of Residence: United States of America.

Nationality: American.

Political Compass Result:
Economic Left/Right: -8.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.36

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: the "Weird" position. I'm a democratic socialist, leaning towards council communism, and a monarchist at the same time.

Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping: Democratic Socialists

Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: not really. Maybe the Greens, if they weren't anti-nuclear. Or the Socialist Party, if they weren't ineffectual as .

Religion: Polytheistic revivalist.

Healthcare: Support; while not a "right", proper and affordable healthcare is a necessity. The government can supply that.

Women's rights: For equal rights. But not for women's superiority or special treatment.

Stem cell research: Legalise it. It could lead to untold medical improvements.

Abortion: Legalise it. The brain, and thus the ability to feel pain, does not form until the second trimester, so harm is not done in most cases of abortion. Besides, it should be a matter of personal choice and personal responsibility.

Marijuana: I don't smoke it. I think we should decriminalise it.

Firearms: Legal sale, but regulated ownership. The populace should be educated for proper gun use and safety, preferably in the form of a mandatory educational course. To purchase anything larger or smaller than a rifle, a citizen should be licensed. However, every home should have a weapon of some sort, preferably a rifle.

Gay Marriage: Emphatic support. Not only should it be allowed simply due to it not hurting anyone, and the fact that the government has no right to be in someone's personal lives, I believe that the gay rights movement, particularly the effort towards their legal marriage rights, is an absolute necessity! No one is truly free so long as others are oppressed so.

Gay adoption: Same as above. No harm to anyone, and the state has no right to intervene in someone's personal lives. Plus, it would be unjust and discriminatory to gays to disallow them the right to adopt children. Everything should be done on a case-by-case basis.

Religion in schools: In public schools, the history of religions and their impact on culture should be taught, but the religions themselves should not be taught. However, there should be an comparative religion course open to all public schools above the Middle-School level.
As far as teaching it in private schools go, I am totally against the existence of any and all private schools, so the point becomes moot.

Death penalty: Against, in all cases.

UN: Good idea, but kinda busted. Needs fixin'. I'm supportive of the idea of a unified world government, so yeah.

EU: As an American, I have no opinion. As an internationalist, however, I see the EU as a good first step towards a stronger pan-human integration. At the same time, I'm an Anglophile, so I'd prefer Britain to lead the EU.

Globalisation: For non-corporate Global Economy. I despise corporations. But I am supportive of a more integrated global economy as part of the road to a global state.

Tibetan Independence: For, but some kind of golden mean between civil autonomy and the restoration of the pre-Chinese government. Perhaps as a commonwealth in free association with China.

Basque Independence: For, but as a middle-path; I support a separate Basque monarchy, with the King of Spain as also King of Navarre in a personal union.

Scottish Independence: Middle-path. I'm all for an autonomous commonwealth-style Scotland in a more federal Britain. Much like position of Puerto Rico in the US. However, I am against full Scottish independence until such time as Scotland has the means to be a fully functional and viable sovereign state, at which point it should restore the Stuart line in an independent Kingdom of Scotland. 'Course, the current Windsor monarchs are the closest true blood relatives to the Stuarts, so it'd be a Dominion type deal.

Taiwan: Against. Taiwan is, as far as I am concerned, a Chinese province. It should, however, be an autonomous province, like Hong Kong. Though I would definitely like the see the ROC be recognised as the legitimate Chinese government.

Genetically Modified crops: Not that big a deal. We've been genetically modifying crops for millennia, just not with the precision that we can do now. Heck, modern GM crops are probably safer than any other in history. If anything, the use of GM crops will be better for the environment and for us, since it would reduce the need for pesticides and fertilizers.

Global Warming: It's happening, and while it's not all our fault, we have a big, dirty hand in it. We need to start taking measures to counteract it immediately for the preservation of our species' and other species' survival.

War in Iraq: Against. War is wrong, no matter the reason.

[Narakir]

Country of Residence: Switzerland

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: That thing right-wing people call "The left".

Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Left-leaning pragmatic libertarian.

Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: No.

Religion: Atheist

Creationism or Evolution ? : Evolution.

Abortion: For, unless it concerns selfish reasons.

Women's rights: Equality but also recognition of genders.

Stem cell research: Yes for health-care and . No for eugenics or any kind of deep human biological modification.

Nano-technology : Preferred to Stem cell for possible human modification, however against it if planned to be used for populations control etc...

Drugs and alcohoé : Legalized and free if their side effect aren't causing much compartmental, emotional or physical issues. Begin drunk or stoned a few times rarely killed anyone.

Firearms: Wrong for easy private use and selling, but right in a mean to defend on-self against possible treats.

Gay Marriage: For.

Gay adoption: For, there's a lot of orphans that's rather like to have two same-sex parents than nothing.

Religion in schools: Against.

Death penalty: Against, unless extreme cases.

UN: United jokers ? A good idea but actually powerless.

EU: European Union of technocrats, the idea of a strong Europe is good but I would require a better balance between countries and also more democracy on the higher levels.

Globalism: Depends on what this concept defines : if it means that everyone should be able to meet everyone and communicate with everyone, that's good. If this means that everyone has to be standardized to western standards, no.

X Country independence : It's everyone's right to be free and to live the way he wants and to safeguard his past, present and future.

Genetically Modified crops: Yes if it can helps to feed the world and make more crops in harder to cultivate places, but against if the technology isn't fully well experimented and pose treats to human health.

Global Warming : Even if it's false, one should be a fool to not care about it's environment. I don't feel worried for "mother earth" it has known worst situations, survived and regenerated. Human kind is probably the only specie able to make it's own extinction a reality if it doesn't adapt to the changes.

Animal Rights: Animals should be treated with respect and we could probably live better by eating less meat but there's no way we should stop to consider them as different from us and give them the same rights, however if they should develop to reach our level "intellectual awareness" they should be treated equally.

Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -3.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian:0.92
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum:
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Anarcho-Fascist. Not really a combination, but one or the other. People are stupid. Foolish, stupid, and we have no idea what to do with freedom when we have it. I lean more towards fascism, since for true anarchy, humanity would need to cut it's population down by about 6.6 billion people.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: United States Marijuana Party (Yes, we did nominate someone for a presidential election.)
Religion: Roman Catholic.

Abortion: I have a penis. I leave this one up to the ladies. I'm not carrying the child, I'm not risking death, so truly I don't have any say.
War in Iraq: I no longer care. War will never stop, anymore than the tides. Let's not play Canute people.
Marijuana: Legalize it. Every bit of it. The fact that I can't smoke my weed without the fear of government retribution enrages me. Oh, and if they taxed it after legalization, I'd start mailing letter-bombs.
Firearms: Legalize them. All of them. Either I can go out tomorrow and by an Armalite tomorrow, or you might as well not give me the right at all. A 'restricted' and 'managed' right is no longer a right, it is then a privilege. And privilges are for .
Gay Marriage: Fine.
Gay adoption: Am I adopting the kid? No. So I have no say. Neither do you.
Religion in schools: Teach but don't proselytize.
Death penalty: For it. I admire Vlad III. He had one of the most crime free states in history. I especially hate the fact that people hide behind the facade of 'barbarism'. We have the technological abilitiy nowadays to make decapitation a quick and simple procedure. Bring back the guillotine.
