Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: left-centre
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): undecided
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: BNP
Religion: Agnostic

Abortion: if rape, or any other wrong, it should be allowed, any natural birth should not be prevented, it's as good as murder
War in Iraq: all there doing in fighting in a country that doesn't want or deserve our help, withdraw the excuses for war were wrong in every moral way anyway
War in Afghanistan: undecided
Drugs: only medicine, potentially lethal drugs if it helps in hospital in suitable amounts, though for general use i forbid it
Firearms: Only for hunting, in a safe establishment and supervised, no person should freely have a firearm in there possession.
Gay Marriage: I guess so, though on the basis they keep them selves to themselves, i won't pretend it's natural
Gay Adoption: only if there both ready and only if the child is young and otherwise parent-less, otherwise no
Religion in Schools: We can make our own views, i don't need some catholic obsessed maniac converting me, we decide ourselves
Death Penalty: If the crime is serious enough, such as murdering, definitely, it's fine to give them a chance when the murder doesnt involve you but the murder's family wouldn't feel like this, arugments over being just as bad as them are pathetic, because thats the goal to make them pay! though if they had some kind of mad plea for help that was completely ignored then i would open my mind a little more. And/or if they murdered someone because they were torturing and abusing the person in some way we may let it slip
European Union: What's the point? countries get enough cultural afflictions as it is

Country of residence: Netherlands
Nationality: 50% Dutch, 25% Scottish and 25% Irish
Economic Left/Right: -3.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritian: -3.95
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Left
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): PvdA, SP
Religion: (somewhat liberal) Catholic
Abortion: Pro-choice. It's their body after all. Should be free for rape-victims.
War in Iraq: Neutral. I applaud the Americans and the rest for finally taking down a seriously unhinged dictator with imperialist ambitions on the whole of ME. Though I criticise American claims justifying it; not putting him out of power earlier; ignoring his far more brutal attacks on Israel and Iran and putting him into place to start with.
Marijuana: Legalized. I like how it's implemented here.
Firearms: Legalized but heavily monitored. They should not be sold or be used by anyone without ID, arms certficate or under 18 years. They should only be sold to those with good reasons that can be confirmed. I.e. hunting, recreation, job that requires it, self-defence (there should be a good reason for it and/or the background of the person should be checked, thoroughly)etc. A lot of redtape, yes, but necessary.
Gay Marriage: For. Again, it's their decision.
Gay adoption: For. Far better than an orphanege.
Religion in schools: Should be given. For educational purposes, that is. Not to convince or brainwash children. Similairly, completely ignoring Creationism and Religion altogether isn't good either. All religions should be given attention in RE. Children should be informed of creationism but not enforced. Darwinism is a far more concrete theory.
Death penalty: No. Waste of energy. Many trails are hardly definitive or conclusive. You can rarely be sure if someone has done it. In the few cases where it has been proven, with overwhelming evidence, that they did commit horrible crimes, execution is too good for them. It's the easy way out. It's not a punishment, it's a savure. Rotting away in the cell is far, far better.

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Left, next to my man nelson 'nd gandhi
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): No
Religion: Human-ethic. But I heavly respect religion.
Abortion: I am not the one getting a baby, so it is not me to choose.
War in Iraq: War is the most damaging machine in the world. The national cause of action can not change this.
Marijuana: ...is already among the people. It only needs to get restrictively.
Firearms:

"Legalized but heavily monitored. They should not be sold or be used by anyone without ID, arms certficate or under 18 years. They should only be sold to those with good reasons that can be confirmed. I.e. hunting, recreation, job that requires it, self-defence (there should be a good reason for it and/or the background of the person should be checked, thoroughly)etc. A lot of redtape, yes, but necessary."
Dr Croccer

Gay Marriage: Not in my life, not my problem.
Gay adoption: It will not be accepted by the big mass for many years. And thoose who doubt, should research against. Untill then, i say ok. This is indeed changing times...
Religion in schools: This is an very importent subject in school. There should be not one single religion above the other. But all as equally good and all should be studid deeply; to understand the troubled world we live in.
Death penalty: It is a waste of people from your own god deam country! If a gouverment punish the people, then they are no better. Law and order should not be a prime force to point fingers and cleen up crime. But a force to "manipulate"(/teach) the wrongdooers to a productive (middel-class)life. As a result, in the end: the wrongdooer becomes a profit, rather then a burden on your tax.
