The Political Profile Thread

[Ozzmosis]

DOB: 1994

Country of Residence: UK

Nationality: British and Turkish

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Centre-left

Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc not really

Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: Politics is quite messed up at the moment, every party seems to have irredeemable faults...

Religion: Atheist

Abortion: Should be avoided if possible, but if there is a risk to the mother then definitely. And in terms of terminating healthy but unwanted children - again, avoided if possible, but otherwise, there should be a fairly strict time limit.

War in Afghanistan/Iraq: They were necessary, but they've been royally up.

Marijuana: If legitimate medicinal use is scientifically viable, then yes, but heavily regulated.

Israel/Palestine: Palestine should have its own state, but it shouldn't be an islamofascist terrorism den.

Global Warming: We need to use "greener" technology just because it makes sense to conserve energy and resources, and statistics don't lie, we need to do something...

Firearms: Heavily regulated - private ownership of weapons should be very closely monitored.

Gay Marriage: I guess.

Gay adoption: As long as they are sensible and decent parents.

Religion in schools: Religion has no place in schools except as part of an absolutely neutral, unbiased religion lesson.

Death penalty: Opposed, I guess, but sometimes it makes more sense than to have them do absolutely nothing for the rest of their lives, as long as they're irredeemable and psychopathic.

Animal rights: As much as possible without it getting ridiculous. Inhumane treatment of animals really gets my goat, though...

Stem Cell Research: It's the way forward! I hope to work in that field one day myself!

Genetically modified plants: They're the solution to world famine!

Racism: A bit pointless and backward, there's absolutely no need and no place for it in society. The jokes can be quite funny though

Tibet: It really is way too late - the population is majority Han Chinese now.

North Korea: They've got some weird sort of pseudo-religion Kim-jong worship going on... They're really dangerous, especially with nukes...

DOB: 19th of September, 1989
Country of Residence: United States of America
Nationality: American (of Croatian, Italian, English, and Irish descent)
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: 2.75 - Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.92
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Right/Center
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Conservative
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: Republican Party (but I dislike it for it's flaws)
Religion: Christian (I was never sure of what denomination I might be, but I feel strongly about my Christian faith)

Abortion: Should be illegal, unless in cases of the mother's potential death.
War in Iraq: I was in favor of it when it was in full swing. Now, I think that the new Iraqi nation is ready to be left to it's own defenses, but in case of emergency, I feel that the U.S. should be obligated to help these people.
Marijuana: Should be legalized for medicinal purposes only.
Firearms: Allowed as per U.S. Constitution.
Gay Marriage: Strongly against homosexual "marriage" and "rights." It is a mental illness.
Gay adoption: Strongly against. Children being put up for adoption deserve to be under the care of a normal family consisting of a husband and wife, or one straight (at least presumably) single parent.
Religion in schools: Supportive of a traditional Christian education in American schools. That is idealistically speaking, however. With all of the red tape and public outcries the schools might get for it, I'd instead advocate the allowance of Christian private schools as an alternative to an all Christian-based public school system.
Death penalty: In favor of the death penalty for the worst offending criminals.

"Some years ago I gave my expression to my own feeling – anti-patriotic feeling, it will doubtless be called – in a somewhat startling way. It was at the time of the second Afghan war, when, in pursuance of what were thought to be “our interests,” we were invading Afghanistan. News had come that some of our troops were in danger. At the Athenæum Club a well-known military man – then a captain but now a general – drew my attention to a telegram containing this news, and read it to me in a manner implying the belief that I should share his anxiety. I astounded him by replying – “When men hire themselves out to shoot other men to order, asking nothing about the justice of their cause, I don’t care if they are shot themselves.”

Taxes: Are strong-arm robbery.
Libyan Civil War & Arab Spring: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Communism: Is gibberish and socialists are crack-pots who don't understand anything about economics.
UN: Some puppet for American world hegemony, largely irrelevant these days.
NATO: A product of the American conquest of Europe, i.e. WW2.
EU: You mean the Fourth Reich?
Israeli Palestinian conflict: Terrorists v. Terrorists, let 'em kill each other until all the religious idiots are dead.
Israel: Is a national-socialist U.S. client state used to exercise a military despotism over the Levant.
Kashmir: India and Pakistan can both go to Hell on an express train. Both 'countries' are just products of British war-mongering.
Pakistan: See above.
American Foreign Policy: Or, as it's less euphamistically known, the World Empire
Russia: Is a bureaucratic tyranny, but at least they fund the best news network in the world, Russia Today.
USA: Some Americans are alright, but the US government (formerly the Continental Congress) has been a gang of thieves and thugs since 1776. And monarchies > popular government. To continue my quote spree, "The majority is always wrong.", Ibsen, An Enemy of the People.
Creationism in School: I don't give a damn, as long as I'm not paying for it. If you can't feed 'em, don't breed 'em.

Social Issues

Gay Marriage: Emphatically for.
Gay adoption: Well seeing as I would very much like to have a child someday, I would say for.
Child discipline (ie, physical punishment okay?): Within a limit, spanking, a slap or smack, it’s a way to associate a negative connotation to an action. Now full on BEATING your child, hell no.
Religion in public schools: Yes. Only not just one or a few, try to encompass all that you can, and don’t force a child to take anything involving one that would make him/her uncomfortable.

What should an immigrant be deportable for?: Depends on the country deporting to, if sentencing for a crime is harsher here, then here. Otherwise nothing
Can immigrants be successfully assimilated?: Yes.


General/Abstract
Imperialism: Cause of every major issue today.
Communism: A nice theory, But in practice it leans far to much on the human element to be effective.
Socialism: Again, I personally am for socialism, but its far to contingent on the human element to be successful.
Capitalism: the system could be A LOT better, but right now it’s the dominant, so I guess its... there?
Patriotism/Nationalism: Things like these divide us, humans can do such wonderful things if not for the invisible lines we draw dividing each other.
Organic Foods: um, I don’t honestly care about what’s in my food as long as its not DRASTICALLY shortening my life span.
Animals: Should be treated with love and kindness, still a life, still feel.
Law: Ah, law… next question please.
Torture: Ultimately pointless, eventually the victim will admit to anything, say anything to make it stop. Not reliable source in most cases, so im not for it in most cases.
Science vs Ethics: Who says they have to be separate?
Stem Cell Research: For.

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Center left
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping: Liberal Free Market
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: Liberal Democrats
Religion: None. Atheist

Abortion: The couples ultimate choice. Obviously, once the foetus has reached around 24-28 weeks then this cannot be an option.
War in Iraq: Against. The US acted unilaterally against the mandate of the UN. One religious megalomaniac against another.
Marijuana: For. Again, the persons choice. Must be regulated though as drugs destroy people in the end.
Firearms: Against. Only for the Defense Forces.
Gay Marriage: For. Everyone has the right to marry the person they love.
Gay adoption: For. As long as the couple are stable and able to afford it.
Religion in schools: No, not at all. It perverses the young mind.
Death penalty: For, in cases of proven deliberate murder and other heinous crimes against humanity.
Education: Compulsory and free for all.
War on Drugs: For.
Healthcare: Free for all. Private healthcare for those who can afford it and chose it.
Euthanasia: For. Again, it is the choice of the person. Why make someone in utter pain stay alive because you think it is right to do so!?
Creationism in School: Utterly and completely against. Creationism is a joke, unscientific and an embarrasment.
The Military: Voluntary.
Afghan War: Against.
War on Terror: For. Anyone who kills an innocent should be hunted down like the criminal they are.
American Foreign Policy: Like all foreign policies it furthers their interests.
British/European Foreign Policy: As above.
China: The only reason the (western) world has not plummeted into financial chaos. They have brought development to Africa where the West has brought poverty.
Libya: Wonderful. All dictators beware. Now it is the turn of Zimbabwe to overthrow their oppressors.
Iran: A dangerous player that likes to play with brinksmanship. Any country that has a "supreme leader" is dangerous.
Israel: The 'Rhodesia' of the Middle East. Sooner or later they will bite off more than they can chew!
Pakistan: A vacuum state that is a hot-bed for extremism. Help needed there.
Kashmir: The people should be allowed to hold a referendum on where they want to be.
Saudi Arabia: Hypocrits to their own people and the world.
Global Warming: A real event happening and we are seen the results already. Something needs to be done.
Labour Unions: For, provided they don’t assume political power, and are legislated so that they do not have too much power.
UN: Lacks credulbility. Needs to put the developed countries on an equal footing with the developing countries, since it is the developing countries keeping financial armegeddon at bay.

General/Abstract

Imperialism: There should be no place on Earth for this type of foreign policy.
Communism: A joke. Communists are the biggest capitalists by far. Communism steals, kills,lies and ultimately destroys!
Socialism: As long as it is mixed with free market economics and a democratic legal framework.
Capitalism: For, yet it needs to be regulated to avoid what the US and Europe has done to the worlds financial system!
Patriotism/Nationalism: Dangerous on the one hand, good on the other. A fine line.
Organic Foods: Expensive!
Animals: Should be treated with love and kindness, still a life, still feel.
Law: Needed, but can be an ass at times!
Torture: Against.
Science vs Ethics: For both, they should be one and the same.
Stem Cell Research: For.
