The Political Profile Thread

[Charrua]

DOB: 1983
Country of Residence: Brazil
Nationality: irrelevant
Political Compass Result:
Economic: -5.38
Political: -1.74
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Up!
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Nope
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: No
Religion: Asatrú
Abortion: Women bodies, women choices, up to 5 months. Regrets later...
War in Iraq: Nice way of spending money and lives with no clear objective.
War in Afghanistan: Not against, since there's more to do with 9/11 than Iraq.
War in Libya: Pretty damn misty situation for me to favor or reject it. Let's say against.
Marijuana: Useless trying to prohibit it. People do whatever they want to, if it doesn't harm a second or third person
Firearms: Free for all. Why only state-sanctioned murderers have full allowance?
Gay Marriage: Whatever
Gay adoption: Whatever
Religion in schools: I'd have to write a huge text here. For better compliance, no. Leave it to temples, shrines and such.
Death penalty: Yes, whenever needed. An extra information - I'm pro-lynching, if the felony is caught in the action. Let the mob be appeased!
Israel/Palestine: I have a total different idea: leave that crappy desert-like land for a giant open air museum, and settle both people where there's abundance of water and actual resources.
EU: European Union? It's miraculous that some 100 years ago each of these tiny countries wanted to wipe out entirely their neighbors, and now they join hands and sing 'kumbaya'. Economically, it's useless. Too many different approaches to economic standards from each member country.
Euthanasia: Totally pro. Again, the person's body, the person's choices.
Illegal immigration: There is no such thing. From the dawn of time, there has been migrations from here to there and so on. If those fellows were ok home, they wouldn't immigrate. If the reception country don't like it, declare open war or something.
Communism & Socialism: Communism NEVER happened in this planet. Different approaches of Socialism brought some good things and some bad things. After all, most of western countries are Socialists to a degree. So it's not about pro or against - it's about researching different (better?) options.

Political Compass Result:


Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Left.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Socialist (But I'm actually pretty flexible).
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: Supporter of the Labour part.
Religion: Agnostic.

Abortion: Should be legal up to a certain point.
War in Iraq: Against.
Marijuana: Should be legalised for both individual and medicinal purposes.
Firearms: Should be heavily and strictly regulated.
Gay Marriage: For gay marriage.
Gay adoption: I have no problems with it.
Religion in schools: For the study of religions as objective observers.
Death penalty: Against in all cases.
Israel: It was immoral to create it, but should be given every chance to survive now it has been created, I am however against it's status as being an official 'Jewish state'.
Israeli Palestinian conflict: (Since I think it's fair to say this is normally the subject I get involved in the mudpit I'll go into in a bit of detail): Personally, I think the Jerusalem issue is the only one that needs to be negotiated now, the current '67 borders look fine to me, and personally, I think Jerusalem should be divided in two, the only place where, personally, I can see conflicts arising is in the old city and any Jewish communities. My ideal solution would be to put the old city under the control of a council comprised of Jews and Palestinians with a tendril of Israeli land leading into it, (I was thinking the Jewish and Armenian quarters) to prevent any 'threats' from a future Palestinian state that they would close off access to the area. I mean, both nations have a strong claim to the land, splitting it in two sounds like a good idea, and whoever offers to give it up will be the better man in my eyes.

As to the right of return, it is obviously completely infeasible to allow everyone to go back home, not just because it would be probably destroy a zionist state, and also because Israel has invested huge amounts into the land, they would be getting more than what they originally left behind, and whilst it could be viewed as compensation, it would also raise a whole new level of problems. But obviosuly the Palestinians require some gesture of reconciliation, so maybe a token 10,000 civilians should be allowed to return.
War in Afghanistan: For in the begining, unsure as of now.
Euthanasia: Completely and utterly for.
EU: I can see it working as an economic union, no more.

Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: Democrat, but comparatively conservative.
Religion: Christian

Abortion: Undecided, but generally against except in cases of mother's life and after a few months.
War in Iraq: Stupid and wasteful.
War in Afghanistan: Necessary, but incompetently conducted
Israel/Palestine: Support Israel, but Palestine should have limited statehood (two state, west bank settlements curtailed, Jerusalem for Israel, Palestine should be demilitarized and formally renounce terrorism. For the moment, support Gaza blockade, but against West bank settlements.)
Marijuana: Medical only.
Firearms: Personal ownership should be heavily regulated. Simple ownership should not be permitted, hunting firearms should be registered and not kept at home, self-defence is right out.
Gay Marriage: Against
Gay adoption: Against.
Religion in schools: Respect should be given, but no attempt should be given to curtail or promote. Religious education should be limited to parent's discretion. If anything, schools should make greatest effort to avoid discussion, as there's no fair way to satisfy everyone.

Abortion: For in all cases, but it should not be used as a prevention

Firearms: Strictly forbidden (except police and armed forces). The possession of firearms should heavily be punished!

D

Euthanasia: For, if the person in question is older then 18 years
EU: The only and only bastion that keeps Europe safe from annihilation by arrogant superpowers like china and the USA.

[Akaie]

DOB: 5th of May, 1993
Country of Residence: Australia
Nationality: Australian
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right -5.88, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.56 (Oh! Hey, Tenzin Gyatso!)
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Left/far-left, green conservatism, socialism
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: General support for the Greens, Socialist Party, Communist Party, Socialist Alliance and Independents. Labour over Liberal (I refer here to Australian political parties, however I have extended support for parties with the same or similar political orientations).
Religion: Agnosticism. (I could also note Buddhism here, but I only adhere to some elements; I could say that I am a philosophically-oriented Buddhist)

Abortion: Pro-abortion, assuming the pregnant girl/woman does not have complete financial support which accounts for loss of work, general expenses and so on. I acknowledge the anti-abortion argument that abortion does not consult with the child as to whether it wants its life to end. For that reason, I may support anti-abortion laws, provided that a whole lot more is done on the matter. I do not believe it has come to such, so for now I am pro-abortion.
Marijuana: Legalized for medicinal purposes. Prescription-only, and users are extremely limited as to where they can use the drug. Subject to fines if such laws are not obeyed.
Gay Marriage: For.
Gay Adoption: For.
Religion in Schools: Yes, provided that the students get to have a look at a range of religions, and that the information is objective. Furthermore, no assertions should be made regarding a child's own belief system.
Death Penalty: By default, no. If it is to be used, I would want the criminal (or a nominee) to choose.
Firearms: Smaller arms should be allowed; applications should be necessary and anyone with a criminal record should not be allowed to own one. Other applications covering the persons mental stability should be present. Larger arms, for example assault rifles, MG's, etc, should be subject to stricter conditions. Weapons like missile launchers should be illegal for public use. They used solely within the military and should be illegal for them to use them outside a designated military training or combat area.
Communism: In its theoretical state, I advocate it. However, there are factors that make a practical application difficult. Communist, and also Socialist, ideals introduced by democratic means is something I have strong support for (Venezuela, for example, is a country who's political system I support and have great hopes for).
Taxes: Pro. A nation, and by extension the world, can greatly benefit from many individuals giving a relatively limited amount of money. With greater public interaction with political parties, a taxation system would be further optimized, creating greater efficiency. I also support the Howard government's Goods and Services Tax, as well as the current Australian issue of carbon pricing (which is a tax for the 500 biggest polluting businesses in the country).

War In Iraq: Questionably motivated (oil & political assertion being two possible justifications). If I am forced to choose a side, it would be against the invasion. I support any peace-keeping operations, provided the representative body of Iraq is consulted and works with the operation/s. Not a prominent topic than what it was when this thread was first started, but I thought I'd note something there anyway.
War in Afghanistan: Against the war. Advocate of peace-keeping. Similar position with the Iraq War; questionable motives.
Libyan Civil War: Pro-NTC.
Mid-2011 situation in Syria: Against Bashar al-Assad's regime. Pro-Syrian democratic reform.

[Jingles]

Country of Residence: United Kingdom

Nationality: British

Political Compass Result: Haven't bothered with it. I think it's flawed.

Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Democratic Socialism (not to be confused with social democracy)

Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: Labour. More specifically though, the LRC.

Religion: I believe there is probably some sort of God like figure in the universe, but I don't follow any organised religion.

Abortion: Pro-choice, though really it's not something I pay much thought to.

Marijuana: Should be legalised in a similar manner to the Netherlands.

Gay Marriage: For.

Gay Adoption: For.

Religion in Schools: It's important to teach children about various religions so that we might better promote tolerance and understanding amongst different religious and cultural denominations. After all religious and cultural conflict is born out of ignorance.

Death Penalty: No. Against.

Firearms: I support current gun laws that exist in the UK.

Communism: Marx is great and there's a lot we can still learn from his books that sadly goes ignored for ideological reasons. Leninists are the real douchebags of the far left - much to the detriment of all who were ruled by them in the 20th century.

Taxes: I don't know... as a concept I guess I support them? I think taxes are perfectly natural - they're not theft. After all theft would imply you got nothing in return. And I'm not really opposed to relatively high taxes either since economies have a way of gearing themselves around it. It's for that reason that the average Swede enjoys a standard of living just as good if not better than the average American, in spite of paying far more in tax. As far as the tax system in the UK is concerned, it needs desperate reform, but I won't go into that here.

Healthcare: I support a fully nationalised health service that provides cheap care for the whole population. As far as the NHS is concerned there is huge room and need for reform. Privatisation must stop, trusts should be abolished and replaced with local management boards that promote co-operation rather than competition. I also support extending public ownership into the medical and pharmaceutical research sectors.

War In Iraq: It's mostly over now. It's not of much concern really. On the whole though I'm not convinced it was worth it.

War in Afghanistan: While I oppose the imperialism of the United States, the Taliban are far from a preferable alternative. So I tentatively support the war, but also support leaving the country as soon as physically possible.

Libyan Civil War: Neutral. We should allow the Libyan people to solve their own problems rather than waste taxpayers' money on bombing the place.

DOB: 14th of May, 1969
Country of Residence: Born on planet New Jersey, currently exiled to a strange and hellish marshland called flar-uh-da by the "locals" (oddly, none of whom seem to be from here)
Nationality: Working class--Ethnically Irish/English (which may explain my strange propensity to brutally oppress myself then viciously retaliate)
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -9.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.87
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: I am so far left of liberal I can barely make it out on a clear day with binoculars.
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Malcontents
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: I was in the IWW for a time
Religion: Religion is an angry mob making excuses for itself.

Abortion: Should probably be mandatory in most cases. Whether you are for or against however, it is clearly a stupid idea to try and regulate this. Best do what you think is right for your self and stay out of other people's business here.
War in Iraq: As I own no Haliburton stock, I can't say that I enjoyed it over-much.
Marijuana: Where?
Firearms: If you make guns illegal only the cops will have them. On this one issue I gotta go with the right-wing loons--though it's mainly them I want to shoot at.
Gay Marriage: I think marriage in general is pretty gay. If you are a noble living in the Middle Ages I can see why you might want to get married; otherwise no thanks.
Gay adoption: As long as they're not ####ing Christians, sure.
Religion in schools: If I can come to your church and explain evolution for an hour before every sermon, and no one is allowed to leave--then fine.
Death penalty: Militantly against the death penalty--oddly I'm a big fan of vigilantly justice though. Don't you love irony?
Israel: Israel? Israel, Israel... Oh! you mean occupied Palestine!
Israeli Palestinian conflict: Tyrannize a people, steal their homes and treat them like sub-human animals--what the hell do you THINK they're going to do? A genuinely oppressed people have the right to defend themselves and those who turn a blind eye to their being abused have no right to comment on how they go about it.

Political Compass Result

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

On the Issues

Abortion: Support. Uphold Roe Vs. Wade. However, ban partial-birth abortion.

Gay Marriage: Support. No civil union BS. Federal level recognition.

Gay Adoption: Support. Federal level recognition.

Education: Should be deregulated from federal guidelines to local/state guidelines. Repeal No Child Left Behind. No state assessment exams.

Marijuana: Support. Full decriminalization. Ban driving under the influence.

War on Drugs: Oppose. Replace prison sentences with fines and mandatory rehabilitation if in possession. Allow trafficking through legal sources for those addicted in strictly monitored doses to taper off.

Immigration: The national border with Mexico needs to effectively secured, fenced, and patrolled. Rigorously enforce a strict anti-illegal immigration policy. Give some illegals a path to citizenship based on background checks and fines. Deport and prosecute the rest. All immigrants should attend mandatory English language classes.

Firearms: Support. Protected by 2nd amendment. Including concealed carry. Strengthen background checks, mental history stipulation, and FBI database record. Launch a new aggressive War on the Black Market and illegal arms trade, providing criminals, gangs, cartels, and psychopaths with unregulated weapons.

The Budget: Opposed to the plan passed and the Congressional infighting. The debt ceiling should probably have been raised sooner and the cuts to the overall budget should have been at least doubled to $4 trillion.

Fiscal/Monetary Policy: The Federal Reserve should be nationalized and put under the Department of Treasury supervision. The dollar should not continue to be devalued by printing and inflating the currency so severely without capital to back up the value. Controlling inflation should be a greater priority than controlling unemployment. Shift away from a Keynesian/Third Way model to include more elements of Hayekian/Austrian models.

Healthcare: Was badly mishandled by Obama and the Democratic Congress. Repeal the individual mandate of Healthcare Reform. Support an expansion of medicare to cover a percentage of the cost of hospital visits, varying depending on income and insurance coverage, not unlike the Japanese system. Deregulate family practice clinics to allow competitive pricing. Allow insurance companies to do business on the national level, instead of state-by-state restrictions. Seriously reform the pharmaceutical industries' abuse of patents and overpricing schemes. Allow generic brands to developed within 2 years instead of 10. Open up the pharmaceutical market worldwide to allow foreign drugs to become available in the US for the first time, significantly driving down cost. Decrease the regulatory nightmare of the FDA.

Income Tax Rates: Support making the tax system more progressive. Lower tax rates for the middle class and for small businesses. Increase tax rates on corporations and people with incomes of over a million dollars. Reform the tax code to be immune to tax lawyer tampering. Close many benefits and loopholes exploited by companies and the rich to get away with tax evasion.


Social Security: Seriously reformed. Raise the retirement age to 69. It should no longer be a guaranteed source of retirement for all, but primarily a pension for the disabled and lower class or middle class elderly. Give people the option to opt out of social security payouts with an obligatory, federally insured, 401K type private retirement investment plan. People with a large annual income will no longer pay into nor receive benefits. Supplemental Security Income should come with the stipulation of mandatory drug testing. If an individual needs welfare assistance and is not disabled or has a family, it should come with a mandatory job agency application to help a person who is unemployed to find work and not live off the system.

Stem Cell Research: Support. The issue was rightfully settled by Obama. However, federal level funding probably should be cut off for austerity measures.

Euthanasia: Support. Suicide should not be treated as homicide. A humane coup de grace should be considered a viable option for the terminally ill.

Death Penalty: Support. However, I'm displeased at the amount it has been abused by my home state of Texas. It should generally be reserved for very heinous crimes. Lethal injection is probably the most humane method in history. The inmate simply falls asleep.

Creationism in School: Support the status quo in my state. Both theories are mentioned in science courses, but evolution is taught primarily. Private schools can teach whatever they want.

Elections: Opposed to plurality voting systems. Partially responsible for two-party partisan deadlock in the US. Should consider preferential voting methods. Opposed to the electoral college, it should simply be abolished and rely on popular vote with protections against largely populated states from dominating lesser states. Support campaign finance reform, no more undocumented and unregulated campaign financing.

US Congress: Support term-limit constitutional amendment. 10-term max for the House of Representatives. 3-term max for the Senate. Remove redistricting powers and place solely in the hands of the judiciary.

The Military: After the Afghan war draws to a conclusion, Libyan intervention is phased out, and hopefully no confrontations occur with Iran or North Korea, the military should close up shop in many of the 100 countries abroad it is hunkered down in. The military budget should be gradually reduced with a goal of reaching a 20 - 30% cut in its overall spending as part of the federal budget, saving the US hundreds of billions of dollars.

Iraq War: It's over. Support the current regime as long as it does not oppress the Shia or Kurds. Generally supportive of dismantling the House of Saddam, but not through open invasion. The American public's fear and frustration following 9/11 was exploited by an administration that had planned re-invading Iraq since the late-90s.

Afghan War: Support efforts to subdue the Taliban, but follow the timeline for withdrawal. Would even support troops on the ground in the Pakistani tribal regions to more definitely eradicate the militant problem. After that, the Karzai regime has the responsibility to maintain its own security.

War on Terror: Support the effort generally to combat militant extremism throughout the world. But more nations should step up to the task, it should not be an American only effort. The use of intelligence, espionage, and small mobile security teams should be favored over conventional invasions.

Patriot Act: Opposed. Has fundamental issues contradicting the constitution regarding warrants. The Department of Homeland Security should also be dismantled. We really don't need over a dozen intelligence agencies for one purpose.

American Foreign Policy: Should generally begin drawing down overextended resources in a time when austerity is critical. Pre-emptive war doctrine should be abandoned with exception to extreme circumstance. The US should phase out the majority of its bases in Europe, Australia, and Japan and maintain a minimal presence as necessary.

British/European Foreign Policy: Should take a more active role in its own defense and take a greater role in general peacekeeping activity and decrease its reliance upon America.

China: The US should phase away from its dependency on China. Should be viewed with suspicion, but treated with respect. There are key issues with labor rights and political rights that deserve mentioning in trade deals. The US should be careful not to appear overbearing however and goodwill between our two nations are crucial.

Libya: Supported intervention initially to attempt to stop the genocidal activity by loyalist forces. Oppose full scale intervention. Stop arming the rebels, who may be working with al-Qeada. Would authorize the assassination of Gaddafi as a possible solution.

Syria: Support the uprising, but oppose intervention. NATO is ill-equipped to topple the well entrenched al-Assad regime in a time of economic hardship and if air support won't work in Libya, it won't in Syria against a much more formidable army.

Egypt: Supported the uprising, but suspicious of the Muslim Brotherhood, which has ties to extremist organizations. Probably the best example of a relatively peaceful, non-violent revolution there is today.

Iran: Must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. Not unless the Ayatollah is deposed and thrown out, the Supreme Islamic Council is abolished, and funding for Shia militant groups such as Hezbollah and the Ba'athists in Iraq and Syria is put to a complete stop. More should be done to support the Green Revolution.

Israel: Support its right to exist. Generally is an innovative, progressive regime but is seriously complicated by hardline anti-Palestinian policies which results in discrimination, displacement, economic endangerment, theft, ethnic repopulation, and blockade. Israel should probably either re-invent itself as a secular, non religious regime which would treat Palestinians and Arabs with the same economic and political rights as Jews or it simply needs to be divided into Israel and Palestine with borders acceptable to both parties. The status quo is unacceptable.

Pakistan: Opposed. Is just two-steps shy of a failed state. It has demonstrated it absolutely cannot be trusted and is a piss poor ally. The status quo is maintained only by the military, by both supporting moderate secularization and funding proxy Islamist groups to assert its independence from neighboring influence. Is largely responsible for the setbacks suffered in Afghanistan, is partially to blame for the militancy in India, and poises itself for exploitation by Chinese interests.

Kashmir: Opposed to the status quo. India should allow a referendum held by the people of Kashmir. Join India, join Pakistan, or independence from both nations. It has served as a casus belli and source of deep distrust and hatred between the Indian and Pakistani regimes for too long and hampers growth and progress.

Saudi Arabia: Opposed. Probably the most dangerous and volatile ally and source of influence in the Middle East. Much of the 9/11 attackers were Saudi nationals. The Saudi regime supports Sharia law and rules with autocratic might in a largely oligarchic society dominated by petroleum speculation. Actively suppresses the Arab Spring, ironically being the origin of Arabs.

Russia: Support strengthening greater diplomatic ties with Europe and the US and less post-Cold War era fearmongering from both sides. Is in need of serious economic and political reforms however. It should stop inflating its petroleum exports and building too much of its revenue around that. The Putinite oligarchy should be ousted.

Kosovo: May well have been a mistake to establish as an independent state, but the Serbians clearly lost their right to govern the territory with attempted ethnic cleansing. The ultimate goal of NATO was achieved. The killings, for the most part, were put to a halt. The borders and states in the Balkans were a mess to decide. It probably would have been better to simply divide the territory between Albania and Serbia.

Serbia: Has come a long way from the 90s. Has paid for its crimes and has arrested a large part of the men responsible for the crimes in the wars. Is deserving to be welcomed back into the international community.

Cyprus: Should be given the opportunity to reunite as a free nation independent from Greek and Turkish manipulation. The Greeks should withdraw weapons and the Turks should end its occupation of the north. A referendum should be administered on both sides on joining Greece, joining Turkey, political unification and independence, or status quo.

Turkey: Support, generally a good strategic and economic ally of the West with good intentions. It has every right to pursue an independent foreign policy. However, it should end its illegal occupation of Northern Cyprus and recognize that its acts against the Armenians in 1915 were in fact an attempt at ethnic cleansing.

Global Warming: Skeptical of the assumed conclusions and general politicized alarmism from climate soothsayers. Whether or not global warming is a human induced phenomena is completely irrelevant and a mere distraction posed by environmentalists. We should do more to ensure a cleaner policy and stricter standards anyway, regardless of any threats of climate armageddon.

Cap and Trade: Ardently opposed. Would spiral energy costs sky-high and produce little benefit for renewable energy research.

Energy Policy: The first priority is shift reliance from oil imports and focus on domestic oil production and actual exports from North America. This would inevitably lead to less reliance on Middle Eastern regimes, especially Saudi Arabia. Drill here and drill now. Drill in ANWR in Alaska as well, the area that is oil rich is a barren wasteland in an isolated location within the preserved landscape. Expand drilling and refinery in the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Coast. Produce shoal oil extraction also.

The next step is reducing the need for fossil fuels by turning to energy alternatives. The most viable solution is nuclear power. The cleanest solution of this nuclear fusion. Fusion, unlike fission, is not physically capable of core catastrophic meltdowns the same way that fission reactors are. Nuclear fusion is the most economically viable and most powerful alternative for eletricity there is and scientists are developing a viable reactor model for mass production. The decreased strain on electricity costs could make electric cars a more viable and cheap reality in the near future as well. Development of biofuel, hydrogen, wind, and water are also plausible alternatives for some areas.

All of this can be accomplished without Carbon credits, without signing the Tokyo Protocol, and without Cap and Trade.


Labor Unions: Support right to exist and collectively bargain, but oppose union control over state employment. The nation should be right-to-work. Union membership should never be obligatory, but purely voluntary.

Free Trade or Fair Trade: Some fair trade proposals are deserving of getting more attention.

NAFTA: Opposed. Needs potent reforms. It has only contributed to the outsourcing of high skill, high wage jobs and the manufacturing sector to Asia and Latin America and has shifted the US far too heavily towards low wage, low skill service industry jobs. It has also exploited workers in Latin America by promoting multi-national companies' market dominance and harming developing economies. NAFTA is a regulatory commission operating under the guise of 'free trade' and must have some serious rethought.

EU: Opposed. Originally a decent idea to promote economic integration and free trade between historically nationalist countries, but turned into an overly ambitious political aim to unify the continent under one fiscal and diplomatic policy. It's actions have seriously put many nations' economies and budgets under threat and has generally contributed to unnatural currency value and welfare handouts to weaker economies.

NATO: Generally support, but with different aims. Should have more integration and cooperation from European countries instead of reliance upon American dominance.

UN: Opposed. The dream of the post WWII world turned completely bureaucratic and ineffective. The US and Europe should put more focus on NATO and draw away from the UN.



I hope I didn't leave anything out here.

Issues


Abortion: Against it,with exceptions if the kid got big problems.
Gay Marriage: Against.I don't have problems with gay people,I'm sure that a gay can even be a friend of mine,but the family is composed of mom,dad and son(s).
Gay Adoption: Against.It's a really bad example for the kid.Gays do not have anything wrong,but their sexuality is surely something...you got it.
Education: Should be fully statalized,and legal from age 6 to age 15,to learn the basic things of life and of the future work the kid will have.If a kid will,for example,be a programmer,he'll hardly,anyway,study too much history.On the contrary,anyway,if the kid will be a linguist,only essential math should be thaught to him,otherwise,the kid would learn completely useless stuff that will never be used in his life,and that will only occupy part of his mind at the expenses of more useful things.
Marijuana: Against.
War on Drugs: Of course,I'm for it.
Immigration: Depends.I say that the immigrant should either forget who he is to adopt the identity of his new host country,or just get the hell out of his new country.
Firearms: Depends.Males could be allowed to use the rifle they would give him once he enrolls for private issues,otherwise,against.
Economic model: fully socialist.Workers planning the production and abolition of money and reintroduction of barter,private property allowed,but under heavy state monitoring.
Healthcare: Statalized.Absolutely.
Euthanasia: I fully support it.
Death Penalty: Only if the guy did something REEEEEALLLLY BAD.I'm for it,anyway.
Creationism in School: No creationism.Religion thought,but without any bias towards the majority religion.
Elections: I'm not a democratic person,I oppose the democratic system,and I'm for an oligarchic government composed of self-conditioned(literally,in the sense that they've been almost hypnotized to not do things for themselves,but for who they rule.this way,corruption is impossible,wrongdoings are possible,but not in bad faith)technics,idealists,philosophers and intellectuals.
The Military: It protects the nation,should be respected and have enough powers to correct any possible bad development in a country.Insults to the army?You get at least 5 years of jail.
Iraq War: It's over,finally,but it wasn't really necessary.It ruined the life of millions of people.I prefer way more pre-war Iraq,with Saddam at power,Christians weren't massacred.
Afghan War: Support it,fully,but we aren't doing the necessary efforts.Talibans hide in mountains,and the only one to get rid of these pests is to bomb the hell out of these ers.BOMBS BOMBS BOMBS ABOVE THEIR HEADS.
War on Terror: Support it,but,sometimes,we recognize the good people as terrorists,and the terrorists as good people.
American Foreign Policy: Get the hell out of my country.We aint no giant aircraft carrier.I'm radically opposed to American foreign policy,it should mind its own business,leave us be,let us live our own lives,without making useless wars and putting us too in the dances,making us sacrifice soldiers for a cause that isn't ours.
British/European Foreign Policy: Do they exist?
China: They own 40% of America's foreign debt,they're on a giant military buildup,and I support many of their policies(and oppose some other).Overall,they're the future,and us western fellahs can't do nothing about it.They'll soon overtake America as the world's hyperpower,and I can't be happier.
Libya: Let Lybians massacre eachother,we're wasting bombs and fuel and projectiles for our aircrafts and missiles for our cruisers.Let's get the hell outta here.
Syria: Protesters are likely muslim fundamentalists,I fully support Assad(though how he's remaining in power is questionable).Should Assad fall,it'll be a bad time for the Syriac christians there.And to hell the stinking Kurds,they can all die,for all I care.
Egypt: How to hijack a revolution.It's now a ,even more than before.Now they hate pretty much everyone,and it'll not be hard to see some war coming up pretty soon.
Iran: Technically,they can even have their stupid nukes,but not the current guys ruling.Giving nukes to these guys is like giving a Beretta SC 70/90 to a 1 year old kid,someone risks of getting hurt.And I also do not support at all their policies,foreign or internal ones,they play the superpower,the fellahs,while their inflation is two digits.
Israel: It has a right to exist,that's for sure,and it has its many points.De facto,between them and the Arabs,Israel are the right guys.So,what's the problem with them?How they handle things.Bibi is a ing ,he's doing everything in his power to make Israel be hated by the world,and they also lost their Socialist origins,now they're a mere liberalistic vassal of the US.I like it,it HAS to continue to exist,but it needs many corrections.
Palestine:Two choices:it either gets independant with the West Bank or it gets annexed to Israel,all of it.How to handle 4 millions of Palestinians?Integrate them,make them become full Israelis,an integral part of the state.After all,they would also deserve it,Palestinians are mostly Arabized Hebrews.Israeli Jews and Palestinians are the same people,but with a different brainwashing.Give Palestinians their original identity,the Hebrew one(converting them to Judaism isn't necessary,I think)and you're set.Giving independance to Palestine is ok,integrating the Palestinians is even better.
Pakistan: I support two things for Pakistan:it either gets united with India(together with Nepal and Bangladesh),or it will have to break up into national states(Rajastan,Tamil,Punjab,Orissa,etc)together with India and Bangladesh and Nepal.What's sure is that Pakistan,like India,has no reason to exist.
Kashmir: It either joins India,or gets independant.It can't allow itself to join Pakistan.Nossir.
Saudi Arabia: Mysoginistic,religious fundamentalist,American-ran .Disband it.Al Hasa,Najd,Hejaz,that's what I want to see,instead.
Russia: Fully support it,in ALL its policies.They're the future,with China.
Kosovo: Give the land back to the Yugoslavs,and get the Albanian crimelords out of it.
Serbia: It has to reform Yugoslavia.Alone,Serbia(like FYROM,Slovenia,Croatia,Bosnia and Montenegro)is worth nothing.Also,a Yugoslavia would solve many problems in the balkans.Muslim fundamentalists in Bosnia,Croatian and Serbs killing eachothers,and fake nations like Montenegro and FYROM ceasing to exist.FYROM would especially stop claiming Greek stuff.THEY AIN'T MACEDONIAN.
Cyprus: Give the north to the Greeks,and make all the islands reunite with Greece.And I don't care about butthurt Turks.
Turkey: Criminals.Did 3 genocides in 5 years,things that could equal Hitler's operas.It should give the Anatolian Coast and Pontus to Greece,and the Eastern part of it to Armenia as compensations for the dead,and recognize their wrongdoings.Kurds can go themselves back to Iran,since they were responsible for the killing of thousands of Assyrians in WWI.What's sure is that Turkey is dangerous for the region,and has to be weakened.
Global Warming: We got to stop it.
Energy Policy: We should limit it,of course.Oil will soon be finished,and we got to find a replacement.It'll cost,but it'll be worth it.Solar energy and eolic energy are good sources,I say,so let's get with those.
Labor Unions: Absolutely for it.Workers got to show their rights,somehow.
NAFTA: North American EU,right?Totally against.
EU: It limits countries' sovereignity,and gets my country flooded with unga katumbas.Should be disbanded,for the greater good of any person living in Europe.
NATO: An American tool for its imperialistic policies,and makes Italy(my country)be nothing but a giant aircraft carrier.Should be disbanded.
UN: Bordello.Disband it.It limits countries' sovereignity,it tries to put laws wich are not needed,it condemns the country that doesn't needs condemnation and doesn't condemns who needs it...It's one of the greatest evils of today.
