C
The Ultra Capitalist Nation of Calculatious
Abortion: Pro-choice (Prevention is better)
Affirmative Action: Against. For merit based system.
Drugs: Legalize. People own thier bodies they can put whatever they wish in them.
Economic system: Free market capitalism.
Education: Eliminate federal involvement. Give total control to the state, communities, and individuals. Encourage private schools. Seperate school and state!
Electoral College in USA Elections: Against
Environmentalism: Socialist plot to destroy capitalism. Capitalism is the way to clean air. In fact, the environment has been getting cleaner because of technology. God bless progress!
Euthanasia: For. People own their bodies, not society.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution
FCC: Eliminate. Free speech shall not be limited. If you don't like the TV or radio, throw them out.
Gay Marriage: For. State should get out of the business of marriage.
Gun Control: Against. Everyone has a right to defend themselves.
Healthcare: Recognize the free market is best. Mandate catastrophic insurance. Deregulate health delivery. One of the major cost of healthcare is the worker. Open up traditional services of phycisians to advanced practice nurses and pharmacists. Recognize that the costs of drugs are cheap in comparision to the standard of living that drugs provide. Privatize the FDA. Encourage NGO's like the USP and UL to test the safety of drugs. Open up drug company research to the public and other scientists for review, not manufacturing.
Immigration: Allow. Discourage illegal immigration through doing military training at the border.
Income Tax: Eliminate it on individuals and business. Go to a consumption based tax. Sales tax or an import tax. In the import tax system, you can get tax free if you become an American business. Maybe a percent of the business. The fee is a one time tax per year to be able to sell in the states. It is kind of like a fee that a mall would charge.
Israel/Palestine: Thier problem not the United States.
Political Party Affiliation: Libertarian
President Bush/American Policies: For killing terrorist.
Prositution: Legalize. Allow for clean cat houses. Give full economic ownership to the prostitute.
Religion: Methodist
Social Security: Stop. Give the money paid back to the people in the form of bonds and take the hit for the liability now rather than later.
The UN: Eliminate. Don't need more bureaucracy.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: If you want to live like this. I like meat.
War in Iraq: Against

Economic System: Socialist on some things, limited capitalist on others
Education: Public Education all the way.
Electoral College in USA Elections: It's stupid. But we'll never get rid of it.
Environmentalism: I'm an enviromentalist above all else. This is the most important issue to me. Save the Earth.
Euthanasia: No opinion, inclined to say one has a right to die
Evolution or Creation?: Creationism isn't science, and has no proof outside the bible [rolls eyes]. Evolution is obvious.
FCC: Should relax on the morality enforcement, but be more strict as far as regulating corporations.
Gay Marriage: Of course. And they can get married in my church, too.
Gun Control: Not a big issue to me.
Immigration Policies: I'm anti-immigration because of the enviromental impact of too many people. My state can't hold many more people without an enviromental catastrophe. If there was a way to do it, I'd restrict immigration from other states, too.
Income Tax: It should be restored to post WWII levels (which means that the super-rich should pay more).
Israel/Palestine: They've both done horrible things to each other.
Philosophy: I take ideas from philosophy that I like, and discard those I don't. My basic view is that a person should be allowed to do anything that harms no one but themselves.
Political Party Affiliation: Registered Democrat, but I thought about registering as a Communist.
President Bush/American Policies: I deeply love America, which is why I hate Bush with a passion. He and his cohorts are running this country into the ground.
Prostitution: Should be legalized and heavily regulated.
Religion: I'm a Unitarian Universalist, but I agree with the Jeffersonian "wall of separation" between church and state.
Social Security: Should not be privatized.
The UN: Should be reformed, moved from New York back to San Francisco (where it started) and given some teeth.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I admire people who adhere to it, but I could never give up meat, let alone dairy.
War in Iraq: Was based on bullshit.
War on Terror: Good reason for it, but it's being conducted incorrectly.

The Empire of Carops

Affirmative Action: No opinion
Arms Trade: Nothing wrong with it
Death Penalty: All for it in cases of Murder.
Drugs: Should be totally illegal and sentences for possession very strict
Economic System: Capitalist free market economy similar to that of America
Education: Education should be provided by the state, but private education should be available and all education should be taught on grounds of ability, with a system of grammar shools for more able pupils.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Although, I am not American, I consider it to be a stupid system.
Environmentalism: Favourably disposed towards it, but not completely devoted to it.
Euthanasia: For, because I would probably rather die easily than suffer a prolongued death.
Evolution or Creation?: Theistic Evolution.
FCC: What is it?
Gay Marriage: I do not agree with it.
Gun Control: No member of the public should own a gun. At all.
Immigration Policies: Immigration should take place, but only in a quantity necessary for the country. Immigrants should be made to fit in with the society they are entering.
Income Tax: Income task should not be as high as it is in Britain for the higher tax bands. But I accpet it is necessary
Israel/Palestine: Both are as bad as one another
Philosophy: My own, heavily influenced by those around me.
Political Party Affiliation: The Conservatie Party (uk)
President Bush/American Policies: Bush is, in my opinion, a fool. America is, however, something to be admired.
Prostitution: Should be completely illegal and punishments should be severe. It is disgusting that it occurs in this day and age and we should stamp it out and help those women involved to find another way of life.
Religion: Roman Catholicism
Social Security: It is necessary. I will say no more.
The UN: Indifferent.
War in Iraq: Against completely.
War on Terror: Against completely.

The Community of Centrostina

Gun Control: Guns Guns, get 'em while they're hot

Israel/Palestine: Secular Israel is, warts and all, a beacon for human rights in the Middle East. Give Israel both the West Bank and the Gaza strip.

Prostitution: Legal and state controlled
Religion: Atheism
Social Security: Beef it up with government funding
The UN: Screw them
Veganism/Vegetarianism: It's probably healthier anyway

Gay Marriage: Against
Euthanasia: For
Affirmative Action: Against
Evolution or Creation?: Creation
President Bush/American Policies: Against.
War in Iraq: For, but disagree with the motives. If we did it for oil we should come out and say it and stop lying.

Electoral College in USA Elections: Against, popular vote of people with IQ over 90 should be used.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I don't care what you eat.
Environmentalism: Is necessary due to overpopulation/mass stupidy.
Immigration Policies: If you can't speak English, or you have diseases we don't want you here.
Social Security: Eliminate it. You can save your own money.
The UN: Is like the Red Cross with guns now, but funded by the US.
Israel/Palestine: Israel should exist. There are plenty of Arab countries and nowhere for the Jews.
Arms Trade: Why would you sell weapons to someone who could use them against you? Total ban.
Drugs: Legalize all, but very strict punishments for using outside your home.
Economic System: Fake Capitalism. Government would create fake jobs and lie about the economy to make it look good.
Philosophy: Take over the world, spread prosperity and justice, eliminate stupidity, institute a common language.
Prostitution: Legalize.
FCC: There should be a Curse Word Counter, Sex Scene Counter, and violence rating on the opening sequence of a program so you know exactly what is coming on. No regulation though.
Income Tax: The rich should pay all the taxes. No tax for poor or middle class.
Education: Mandatory until 12, high school would end at 16. College would be by admission basis. If you get a single F you would be permanently expelled because you are either too stupid or lazy to ever succeed.
Death Penalty: OK, but should be much more painful if the crime was very serious (if mass murder or torture involved in the crime).

The Minimal-State Republic of ConLibria
Abortion: Against, in all circumstances
Affirmative Action: Against
Arms Trade: Should be allowed
Drugs: Illegal
Economic System: A free-market economy should be created, where everything is personally owned and run by the owners themselves.

Religion: Agnostic
Social Security: Absolutely no social wellfare for any groups of people
The UN: Should cease to exist, as it only wastes tons of paper
Veganism/Vegetarianism: No way, I like meat too much
War in Iraq: Strongly for. It's a better country without Saddam anyway
War on Terror: An practical tactic to preserve USA's position of Nr 1 in the world for as long as possible

The Holy Socialist Republic of Constantinopolis
Abortion: Pro-Life as a matter of principle, but I support abortion when the mother's life is in danger, in cases of rape and during the first weeks of pregnancy.
Affirmative Action: Pro. But it should be class-based, not race-based. Help those from disadvantaged backgrounds, regardless of their skin colour.
Arms Trade: Heavily regulated. No sale of any arms to organizations (including nations) that are suspected of using them to intentionally murder civilians.
Death Penalty: Only for genocide and crimes against humanity (e.g. Hitler).
Drugs: Soft drugs (e.g. cannabis) should be legalized.
Economic System: Socialism all the way! The means of production (= capital goods, including such things as all industries) should be nationalized and placed under the ownership of a democratic state. The economy should be a planned one, with the people having a large say in the planning process. Finally, a high degree of social equality should be established. For more details, see here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Constantinopolis#Economy).
Education: Completely and absolutely free. For-profit schools and universities should be banned. All schools and universities should get all their money from public funding, and charge no tuition fees. Why? Because tuition fees are a form of discrimination based on class: Rich kids can get in better schools even if they are less qualified. Even if you assume that everyone's wealth comes from their own merit, you still can't justify private education, because it's the parents, not the kids, who pay for education. If rich parents can buy their kids a better education, you get social stratification: The children of the rich will always stay rich and the children of the poor will always stay poor.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Abolish it. It's outdated and anti-democratic.
Environmentalism: Pro. We should protect our environment at least for our own sake if nothing else.
Euthanasia: Pro, but only with consent from patient and doctor. If the patient is in a coma, his/her relatives should not be allowed to call for euthanasia.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
FCC: What's that? Some American thing, I guess...
Gay Marriage: Pro. They're not harming anyone, so let them marry.
Gun Control: Against. The people must be armed in order to defend themselves from any potential tyrants.
Immigration Policies: Moderate and sensible. Not too open, but not too closed either.
Income Tax: Strongly progressive. The poorest of all should pay no tax at all, while the richest pay as much as 80%.
Israel/Palestine: They're both at fault, though in different ways. The only hope is for them to come to some sort of understanding and make peace. Any solution is good as long as it makes both sides happy.
Philosophy: Utilitarianism all the way! The greatest good for the greatest number.
Political Party Affiliation: None in particular, though I do of course support Communist Parties in general.
President Bush/American Policies: They range between stupid and evil.
Prostitution: Against. It is an extreme form of exploitation of women, and women only take up this job when they're in a desperate situation and have no other choice. The state should ensure that no one is put in such a desperate situation.
Religion: Christianity.
Social Security: Absolutely necessary. And it must be a public institution.
The UN: Great in theory, but mostly worthless in practice. It needs the power to actually enforce its resolutions.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Not a vegetarian, and don't really care. Animals eat each other all the time, so there's nothing wrong with us doing the same.
War in Iraq: A war was needed to remove Saddam Hussein, but this war is a disaster. And it was started under the lie about WMD's. There's not much that can be done about it now, though. US troops need to stay there to prevent a civil war.
War on Terror: I'd rather have a war on the causes of terror. People don't just wake up one morning and decide to blow themselves up. Poor and desperate Muslims are the prey of terrorist recruiters.

The Dominion of Crimson Sith
Abortion: Opposed, except in cases of rape, or when the woman's life is endangered.
Affirmative Action: Opposed
Arms Trade: Opposed
Death Penalty: For
Drugs: Opposed

Philosophy: Common sense
Political Party Affiliation: Meritocratic Representative Republicans :D

Prostitution: Opposed
Religion: No thank you.
Social Security: For a well regulated social security program which would assure that the money goes to those who truly have no alternative.
The UN: For
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Hands off my meat boy!
War in Iraq: Opposed
War on Terror: Has become a total sham.

The Libertarian Expansionist Paradise of Czardas
Abortion Pro-choice
Affirmative Action Unnecessary
Arms Trade Outlaw it. No more weapons
Drugs Make anti-drug programs in school, but if you want to get high it's your business.
Economic System A strange mix of socialism and capitalism: no major corporations, but private property exists and people can run their own small businesses
Education Free & compulsory through age 18; free and voluntary through the end of college
Electoral College Kill it and make voting compulsory
Environmentalism Conserve it. We need it. And you might as well outlaw big corporations and commercialism while you're at it.
Euthanasia For
Evolution or Creation? Evolution, but I accept creationism as a philosophy, not fact
FCC Nuke it
Gay Marriage For
Gun Control For

D

The Federated Cantons of Daistallia 2104
Abortion: Somewhat undecided. It sould probably remain legal, but should be regulated to prevent abuse. A fetus is not a person, but is it not not-a person. It is a potential person.
Affirmative Action: Reverse discrimination that reinforces the outdated and contemptable concept of biological races.
Arms Trade: Good business.
Death Penalty: Definately needed. It serves as an absolute and
perminant deterent - to one individual who has shown the inclination towards killing. However, there are currently problems with how it is currently being used in the US.
Drugs: Legalise them all.
Economic System: Laissez-faire free market pure capitalism.
Education: Privatisation.
Electoral College in USA Elections: It's not broken, so don't touch it.
It was put into the US constitution for a very good reason (the great balancing act), and tampering with it will likely cause more problems than it would fix.
Environmentalism: Environmentalist, but disagree with almost all organizations that present themselves as such, as they tend to be "watermelon greens" (green on the outside, red on the inside).
Global Warming, and greenhouse gas emissions are overblown. It has yet to be shown that humans have caused global warming. Additionally, global warming has kept us out of the impending ice age. If global warming is shown to be linked to human release of greenhouse gasses, it is likely to self corect within the next 100 years. The coming oil peak will force the reduction of the release of these gasses.
Pollution is a matter of property rights. If you pollute my property (including my body), it is exactly the same as if you physically assualt me. Property rights also internalize the negative consequences of pollution, thus providing incentive to reduce it. Furthermore, establishing property rights prevents "Tragedy of the Commons" situations, such as have lead to the near destruction of many fisheries around the world.
Big governments are the largest cause of environmental pollution and damage.
Euthanasia: You need a clear statement of intent and concent, but otherwise, OK.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
FCC: Disband it.
Gay Marriage: Abolish all state recognition of marriage, other than as simply another contract between legally consenting adults.
Gun Control: Thge US needs to roll back the overly restrictive laws currently in place in order to comply with the constitution.
Immigration Policies: US policies need to be much looser.
Income Tax: Abolish it, and replace it with user fees.
Israel/Palestine: The US should back way off of this one. Stop throwing away money on it. Politically, Palestinian statehood should be supported.
Philosophy: Minarchist Libertarian. Influances: Aristotle, Machiavelli, John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, Adam Smith, Thomas Paine, Ayn Rand, and Robert Nozick.
Political Party Affiliation: Independent, but I usually vote GOP or LP
President Bush/American Policies:
Bush: Too influanced by authoritarians and religious radicals. The current administration has made several strategic errors. Bush himself is not an idiot. However, he does strike me as a prototypical spoiled rich frat boy. And he's a chickenhawk deserter.
US Policies: Over the long term, US policies have been co-opted by many different interests. We need to stop sticking our nose where it does not belong.
And, the current military needs to be doubled. The "peace dividend" was a scam that gutted the military at a time when it was going to be needed to follow the often (mistaken) policies of the US.
(Pedantic note: It should be US, not American, as N. and S. America do not have a single policy.)
Prostitution: Legalise it.
Religion: Buddhist.
Social Security: A fix for a non-existant problem that was intended to be temporary, but which has become a long term pyramid scheme that is fundamentally unsustanable.
The UN: The UN has never worked as it was intended. It's a good idea in need of serious fixing. Unfortunately, I suspect it is eventually headed to the scrapheap of history, much like it's equally ineffective predesessor.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Not vegetarian, but I have no argument with it.
War in Iraq: A prime example of the Bush administration's strategic errors. I originally supported it, on the grounds that Saddam did appear to present a clear danger. However, the execution and prossecution, especially of the occupation, has been nearly criminal.
Assuming the re-stated goals are accepted, the occupation, pacification, and rebuilding will require significantly more resources than I can see the US is willing or able to put into it.
War on Terror: A misnomer, as terrorism is the enemy, but his tactic. It should properly be named the War on Al Qaida.
The WAQ is a just war of self-defense, as the US and others have been attacked by this organisation repeatedly. This war probably should have been prosecuted by the Clinton administration.
Unfortunately, this war is probably not winnable, due to the only proven method of stamping out enemies who practice terroism (the so called "Mongol method" of laying absolute waste) is highly unpalatable in the modern world.

The Armed Confederate Republic of Dark Kanatia
Abortion: ??? I'm not sure. Used to be completely pro-life, but now I'm against late-term or partial births for sure. As for other abortions I'm still researching.
Affirmative Action: Against. People should be rewarded by merit, hard work, and ability.
Arms Trade: Trade arms to allies, free countries, those who have been attacked without justification, and rebels against oppressive, despotic governments. Do not trade arms with oppressive regimes, countries engaged in civil war where neither side is trying to establish a free regime, or to any group practicing genocide or mass murder.
Death Penalty: Neither for nor against. I believe corporal punishment and long jail terms of hard work would be more effective. But in emergency situations it might be necessary.
Drugs: Let all adults that are of sound mind buy whatever kind of drugs they want. It's their life.
Economic System: Social Capialist. I believe strongly in the free market, but in the areas of food, water, shelter, clothing, health care, and education there should be well-run public-private partnership social programs in place to help those who are down on their luck. (See education for example).
Education: The education system is a free market supplied by private enterprise (except in areas where there is not enough people for free market education to work properly). Each child is given a government credit of how much basic schooling costs and goes to the school of his/her (or his/her parents) choice. Upon admission to the school this credit is given to the school by the government.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Doesn't affect me, I'm Canadian. But anyway, seems sort of stupid. Just add the votes up whoever gets more wins.
Environmentalism: Enviromentalists overstate and exagerate their case. We should protect the enviroment where harm to it will injure humanity through localized laws against specific destructive acts.
Euthanasia: Iffy on this. If a person has a terminal illness with an extremely low probability of recovering, they can have a euthanasia if the following steps are taken. They sign a declaraion of intent to die, which is witnessed by their doctor and 2 kin. Then a week later they do this again (so as to avoid euthanasia's due to a momentary depression). The doctor then gives them a suicide pill which they have to put in their mouth and ingest themselves. Everybody should be able to end their own life but I'm very worried about the large potential for abuse.
Evolution or Creation?: I don't care. I'm a Christian, but both seem to have large holes and flaws. If God made us through evolution, well, the Bible does use imagery at times. If he made exactly as the Bible says then ok.
FCC: I'm assuming this is similar to the CRTC in Canada. It should be confined solely to assigning radio and airwave frequencies so as to prevent different ssources from using the same frequencies.
Gay Marriage: None of the government's business. Marriage is a private contract. The government, at the very most, should ask about marital status at tax time for tax purposes only.
Gun Control: Against any gun control beyond a five day waiting period and a background check to prevent criminals.
Immigration Policies: If they're willing to work let them in.
Income Tax: Should be a flat rate, but the first $10000 made every year should be tax free.
Israel/Palestine: Palestine needs new leadership that is willing to crack down on terrorists. Until Palestine has that Israel has the right to take measures to protect it's citizens. Israel should build the wall and withdraw from Palestine.
Philosophy: Political philosophy is libertarian in civil issues, social capitalist in economic issues, decentralized republican (not to be confused with the Republican party) in political issues, and neo-conservative in international affairs (support freedom abroad through trade and diplomacy, and, if nothing else works, war as a last resort).
Political Party Affiliation: None, all the Canadian parties suck. Usually vote Conservative and help the Conservatives because they're the least evil.

President Bush/American Policies: I like that he wants to reinstitute the space program. I like that he has beliefs and he sticks by them, because I'm getting sick of idiots who's beliefs are little more than what is popular. His hearts in the right place but he doesn't pull it off right.
Prostitution: Unsure.
Religion: Protestant Christian.
Social Security: Public-private partnership to get the choice and effeciency of private sector, but the inclusiveness of a government program.
The UN: I like that there is a place where nations and cultures can come together and interact. I dislike the extreme amount of corruption, apathy, inefficiency, and inability the UN consistently displays. I also worry about a future where too much power becomes concentrated in too few hands via the UN.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Stupid. Animals are here for us to eat. If they could they'd eat us. It's the natural way of life to eat meat, so butcher the pig and fry some bacon.
War in Iraq: Saddam need to be ousted. He was butchering and oppressing those it was his job to protect on a massive scale and had to be removed. It could have been fought better and less costly. As well, who cares about WMDs, if you're going to invade him tell us it's because Saddam's an evil person who murders his own people.
War on Terror: A War on Terror can't be won because Terror is a concept not an entity that can be destroyed. That being said we should hunt down the terrorists like the child-murdering scum they are and hang them up for all the world to see. Put the fear of the wrath of the just into them.

The Republic of Deancesca
Abortion: I think it's wrong persinally but am pro-choice
Affirmative Action: against it - hire by ability

Economic System: capitolist all the way baby

Evolution or Creation?: both
FCC: they've relaxed to much on early night tv

Affirmative Action: Stick a fork in it, it's done

Death Penalty: Meh.
Drugs: Prohibition didn't work then, doesn't work now. Legalize.
Economic System: Capitalizt. Screw the poor.
Education: No free lunch. Pay up, suckers.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Pointless. Can it.
Environmentalism: As long as it doesn't cost too much.
Euthanasia: Not the state's call.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
Gay Marriage: It's a civil rights issue, not religious. Legalize.
Gun Control: Who cares. Keep 'em.
Human Rights: No such thing. If the State can take them away, they're privileges, not rights.
Immigration Policies: Limited
Income Tax: It's legal and relatively fair
Israel/Palestine: Oh grow up, both of ya.
Philosophy: Intellectual tailchasing. Pick one from a hat for all the good it'll do you.
Political Party Affiliation: Independent / Libertarian (if they weren't so damn toothless)
President Bush: Could have been a harmless zealot, now a dangerous one.
Project for the New American Century (PNAC): Wolfowitz / Cheney are Teh Devil! Worst thing for America since Prohibition.
Prostitution: It's not my body. Go ahead if you want to
Religion: Relaxed agnostic. Zealotry is for the weakminded.
Social Security: Send in a priest for last rites.
The UN: a neutered poodle that thinks it's a pit bull. IGNORE'D
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Silly. Humans are omnivores.
War in Iraq: Totally unjustified, but it's nice Saddam is gone.
War on Terror: An excuse to remove inconvenient "rights". A poor excuse.

The Most Serene Republic of Deleuze
Political Party Affiliation: Liberal Democratic Party
Religion: Atheist Government, Mostly Jewish population
Abortion: Pro-choice
Gun Control: Against banning guns, for registration.
Gay Marriage: For
Euthanasia: Should be legalized.
Affirmative Action: For.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
President Bush/American Policies: Vehemently Opposed socially and economically, mildly opposed to foreign policy
War in Iraq: Good idea in principle, bad implementation
War on Terror: Dangerous unless better defined.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Popular vote determines president and all congresspeople.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Neutral. It's the individual's choice.
Environmentalism: The non-existant private sector has little ability to destroy the environment. The government attempts to conserve it.
Social Security: the Government should guarantee the welfare of all individuals, let alone seniors.
Israel/Palestine: Nation believes in a two-state solution, but sides with Israel historically.
The UN: believes the institution needs to be dramatically reformed in order to be effective.
Arms Trade: needs to be regulated heavily.
Drugs: Neutral. Leaning toward legalization but it's not all that important.
Economic System: Regulated capitalism. Private industry is good, but should be prevented from abusing people or accumulating wealth at the expense of others' survival.
Philosophy: Despite the namesake, it doesn't adhere to Continentalist positions (despite the interest). Rather, we're rule utilitarians - when taking an action, we need to examine the example set by the action. If it discards a useful rule, it should not be taken. (For example - while stealing a iPod may be expedient, it violates the greater rule that stealing is wrong. The rule that stealing is wrong is good. Therefore, don't steal the iPod).
Prostitution: legalized, then regulated by the government to prevent the spread of AIDS and the abuse of prostitutes.
FCC: keep your dirty moralistic hands off of my mass communication!
Income Tax: don't tax those who can't afford to pay it. Tax the rich to the point where there's still an incentive to become rich but the government can still pay to keep everyone above the poverty line.
Education: should be available to everyone.
Death Penalty: should only be used in cases where DNA testing proves the conviction.

The Fatherland of Deutsch - Rheinland
Abortion: Highly depends on the situation. Should be legal if the child cannot be guaranteed a good life or if the mother's life is threatened.
Affirmative Action: No.
Arms Trade: Only to military allies with non-dubious political aims.
Death Penalty: Generally: No! Only exception are terrorists.
Drugs: Illegal; should be fought by police
Economic System: Social market economy. Domestic business should have all liberties, as long as employees/consumers are not betrayed or harmed in any way.
Education: Needs much more funding. More schools, more teachers, smaller classes. Generally, I am pretty happy with Germany's current education system.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Outdated. Does not truly represent the proportion of the people's will.
Environmentalism: Good in theory, but I hate eco-warriors and their environmental fanaticism. Those people are much too egocentric and only think of THEIR cause. They do not have the slightest understanding about REALITY!
Euthanasia: Depends on situation.
Evolution or Creation?: I believe in evolution. However, when it comes to the question how the big bang started the universe, I start to wonder...
FCC: As a German, does not concern me. I think it is much too over-zealous, though.
Gay Marriage: Should be allowed. Everybody should be able to choose his or her spouse without government interference. After all, it's their business. But I oppose gay couples adopting children.
Gun Control: Guns should be vehemently controlled.
Immigration Policies: Only a small number of people who are willing to integrate into the domestic society should be allowed to immigrate. Everybody, who concretely refuses, should be deported back to their home country.
Income Tax: I have nothing against it as long as it does not get too high. Income tax should be based not on personal wealth but on actual income!
Israel/Palestine: Israel is doing some serious effort to hinder peace talks from ever happening.
Philosophy: My own, home-brew view on things; with a great deal of realism/rationalism and liberalism. I recognize authority where it is needed, though.
Political Party Affiliation: I vote for the candidate and his program, not for parties.
President Bush/American Policies: Maybe I am a bit too direct, but: American policies have come down to a playground for corrupt lobbyists who only pursue their own ideas and do not act for the good of the country. Bush is just another one of those lobbyists.
Prostitution: Should be illegal. (Ex-)Prostitutes have to be given a second chance.
Religion: Liberal Catholicism (I know, that's a little paradoxical :D )
Social Security: A necessary installation in every modern society.
The UN: Needs some drastic reorganisation. The UN has to become a more centralized body with actual power. Right now, it is unable to put through the values that it claims to believe in. For example, the US should have been sanctioned after neglecting the UN peace process in Iraq und invading it without giving an actual reason. The Security Council is a relic from the Cold War, unsuited to deal with the problems of the modern world, which is shifting more and more towards Africa and Asia. More countries should be allowed to join the Council. The concept of veto powers must be revised.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Don't support it. Other people can do it, if they want to. But then they should be fair enough not to persuade others that their way of eating is "better".
War in Iraq: Not justified. But now that the troops are there, the US armed forces need all the support that they can get if they want to rebuild Iraq as a modern democraitc country.
War on Terror: I am for it, but the US is taking it way too far (just think of the authoritarian Patriot Act).

Electoral College in USA Elections: Direct democracy is needed
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Too speciest in nature- where do we draw the line at what is and what is not acceptable to eat?
Environmentalism: Protecting the planet is essential to the survival of the human race
Immigration Policies: Open borders. We are all one people and the idea of nations is divisive
Social Security: Strongly in favour of.
The UN: Nice in principle but doesn't seem to do too much as it's so western-orientated. Without US/UK support it is basically rendered useless
Israel/Palestine: I support one secular state to be established in the region
Arms Trade: Don't give any guns to the governments which run dictatorships/ capitalist societies. Instead, arm any trotskyist rebel groups in the country
Drugs: Legalise everything under state control to stop violence in the industryand so we can ensure that all drugs are safe/clean
Economic System: Complete workers' control
Philosophy: It's more important to focus on improving this world than deal with whether Bentham, Mill or Singer was a better Utilitarian
Prostitution: Legalise but discourage
FCC: No censorship except for anything inciting hatred against ethnicities, nationalities, gender, sexuality or religion
Income Tax: Ideally under a state run economy since the government controls everything it would not be needed
Education: Should be free to anybody who wants it

Political Party Affiliation: Socialist & Communist.
Religion: None.

Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
President Bush/American Policies: Mortal Enemies.
War in Iraq: Against.
War on Terror: More war = More terror.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Should go by popular vote.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I'm not one, but I have respect for those who are. I don't think we need to avoid meat overall, but we should avoid mistreating the animals.
Environmentalism: We need to research and rely much more on non-polluting and renewable energy sources, than what we do today (eventually with fusion energy, any unatural polluting should be made illegal).
Immigration Policies: Much less restrictions than what we have today (Norway), but not fully open, at least not in the world of today.
Social Security: For.
The UN: Would've been better without the USA in it (since they only think it's useful when the UN agrees with themselves).
Israel/Palestine: Neither is right in their doings, but as the occupant and starter of the conflict, Israel has the most responsibility. They should withdraw from the occupied territories immediately.
Arms Trade: Against.
Drugs: In general, only for medical use.

The Most Holy Empire of Divine Imaginary Fluff
Abortion: Strongly pro-choice, with a few specific exceptions.
Affirmative Action: Against.
Arms Trade: For.
Death Penalty: Mostly against; for repeated severe offences and extreme cases only.
Drugs: (fairly)Non-lethal should be legalized.

Environmentalism: For.
Euthanasia: Strongly for; should be compulsory for people in vegetative states with no or very little chance of recovery.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution, since I find it the best explanation so far. I believe there might be more to it in addition to evolution, however.
FCC: No idea what it is.
Gay Marriage: Marriage should be abolished, except for as a purely symbolical ceremony. It is then up to the particular religion in question what to allow.
Gun Control: Moderate.
Immigration Policies: Immigration should be regulated, but done so with as little prejudice and pointless discrimination as possible.
Income Tax: Moderate, smoothly increasing with income.
Israel/Palestine: Should either stay split and try to resolve their issues, or join together.
Philosophy: Hard to say. It is intertwined with my ever-changing belief.
Political Party Affiliation: Independent.
President Bush/American Policies: Eeek!1!!!!/Some good, others bad.
Prostitution: Legalized and regulated in order to minimize risk of STIs.
Religion: An agnostified independent spiritual belief currently named "fREaKy Belief", followed by the current version number.
Social Security: Basically for.
The UN: For, altought it could be improved.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Up to the individual. I am a vegetarian (with the exception of eating dairy products, egg and fish) myself simply because I can't stand eating meat. I generally don't give a damn about what other people eat.
War in Iraq: A bad idea to begin with, but now that it has been started, it should be finished properly.
War on Terror: Against in it's current form; should mainly focus on prevention.

Social Security: We don't have it here so I don't have a stance.
The UN: Ok for international law, but I'm against them legislating about and regulating civillian or economic affairs.
Israel/Palestine: Should share their holy cities in peace.

Economic System: Libertarian Capitalism
Philosophy: Atheism, materialism
Prostitution: Unregulated
FCC: We don't have it here so I don't have a stance.

Electoral College in USA Elections: A huge hurdle in America's attempts to achieve democracy

G

The Democratic Land of Glitziness
Abortion: Pro-choice
Affirmative Action: Against because of what it leads to; quotas and people being chosen because of race rather than suitability for the job
Arms Trade: Only for military and police
Death Penalty: Strongly against
Drugs: Legalised with strict control and emphasis on education so people can make an informed choice
Economic System: State welfare, socialism, communism (theoretically, maybe not in reality)
Education: Against grammar schools and private education of any kind. Free education for all. More choice of subjects and wider ranges for students. Less emphasis on control, and more on actual development of individual talents and core skills.
Electoral College in USA Elections:
Environmentalism: Looking after the environment is something everyone should care about because it effects us all and our generations to come. However, when taken too far it defeats the point and hinders rather than helps.
Euthanasia: For under strict control and with the persons consent.
Evolution or Creation?: I lean towards evolution; both are theories and neither are proven but evolution seems much more likely.
FCC:
Gay Marriage: Strongly for though forcing religious groups into allowing it doesn't help all that much.
Gun Control: For
Immigration Policies: Allow as many as can be supported by the country; they must contribute to society and be tolerant of the existing cultrue. They're free to practice what they want and I'm strongly for multiculturalism but that only works with tolerance.
Income Tax: progressive; I'm strongly for wealth distribution and breaking down the wealth division.
Israel/Palestine: I blame the people who unfairly gave other peoples land to the Jews and who stupidly planted the Jews in a country surrounded by Arab and Muslim countries. I don't take either side; I can understand both sides but don't think either are going about it the right way.
Philosophy: No idea. Bit vague really. I'm a situationalist.
Political Party Affiliation: Lib Dems (UK)
President Bush/American Policies: Strongly against in the vast majority of cases
Prostitution: Legalised with strict control and testing.

Social Security: For.
The UN: For the principle of it.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Individual choice.
War in Iraq: Against. There was no immediate threat to us and it isn't our job to police the world and kill countless people in the process. Who knows, it might turn out for the best. But at the very least the motives look rather suspicious...
War on Terror: I think people should be looking at the reason western countries are so hated rather than simply feeding the hate.

The Dominion of Gramnonia

Abortion: For. Who are you to tell someone what they can't do to their body?

Euthanasia: For. People have the right to choose what they do to themselves if it doesn't infringr on someone else's rights.
Affirmative Action: Against. People should be allowed to succeed and fail based solely on their own merits.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution. When all evidence point to one thing, and you choose the other, you deserve euthanasia
President Bush/American Policies: Look, no one realizes that this choice is better. Just because the economy did well under Clinton (thanks to Reagan and Bush) doesn't mean that democrats are the better choice. In fact, welfare hurts the economy
War in Iraq: For. So, your logic is that one American soldier's life is not worth the freedom of thousands of Iraqis? So, who's racist now?
War on Terror: For.
Electoral College in USA Elections: For. As sad as it sounds, the majority is still too stupid to vote properly. Silly liberal, the people that vote for you are the stupid impoverished who like having their hand held like they're a five year old forever!
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Against. Meat contains essential complex proteins, vitamins, and minerals that you don't get from pure veggies.
Environmentalism: For, but only to a point. It's important to plan out the future, but burning down houses being built next to a mountain preserve is silly.
Social Security: Against. I don't want the government to hold my hand like I'm five for the rest of my life. I'm mature enough to look after myself.
Immigration Policies: We should enforce the minimum-wage for both citizens and non-citizens so companies have no motivation for hiring illegal immigrants and, without jobs, they have no motivation to come here.
The UN: Against. International Law is a joke, especially when it's unenforceable. Also, how altruistic is an organization whose own leader's son steals from the Oil for Food fund?
Israel/Palestine: I support a free Israel.
Arms Trade: I don't think we should be shipping arms to other countries for many reasons, the least of which being security.
Drugs: If you want to screw up your own body, go ahead. Personally, I'll stick to the legal drugs (caffeine, nicotine, alcohol)
Economic System: Almost completely Free Market. The only restrictions should be anti-trust and copyright legislation. Silly commies, controlled economies don't work! Look at the differences in GDP! Haa haa haa, gross misconceptions!
Philosophy: When you die, you're dead, so make of this life what you can, because it's the only one you'll get.
Prostitution: Legal and regulated, though I'd never use it.
FCC: Against. Censorship in any form (aside from provable national security issues) is wrong.
Income Tax: Against in theoretical form, though it's a necessary evil to keep the system running.
Education: Private but with state standards to be met.

Electoral College in USA Elections: A good thing.

Evolution or Creation?: Make up your own mind, that isn't for the govt to decide. I think they both have flaws.
FCC: Against, it can regulate itself.
Gay Marriage: For gay civil unions with same rights as marriage.
Gun Control: AGAINST
Immigration Policies: Cautiously for open immigration.
Income Tax: Flat tax please.
Israel/Palestine: Unsure
Philosophy: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. In a nutshell.
Political Party Affiliation: Libertarian
President Bush/American Policies: Like some things, don't like some things.
Prostitution: Cautiously for
Religion: Do what you wanna do, as long as it doesn't infringe on someone else's rights.
Social Security: For, but see no problem with privatizing part of it.
The UN: Not a big fan. Why give away your sovereignty when you have fought so hard for it? What do we gain by giving up control of our country to others?
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Whackjobs? Seriously, eat what you want - it leaves more meat for me.
War in Iraq: Not sure we should be there. Support our troops though and hear from them that what we are doing is good. But at a high price.
War on Terror: Support, but don't like Patriot Act (what a crock of a name!). I want a war on terrorists without giving up significant and important freedoms.

The Tire-Burning Torque Empire of HotRodia
Abortion: I'm reluctantly pro-choice in terms of legality, believe it's morally acceptable under certain circumstances.
Affirmative Action: Generally opposed to this. Would rather see the money spent on AA go to fund underprivileged schools and help eliminate the causes of the problem.
Arms Trade: Depends on how it's done.
Death Penalty: Generally opposed, but exceptions might be in order for the most incorrigible individuals.
Drugs: Legalize and tax heavily.
Economic System: Capitalism with moderate government regulation, but ideally individuals would regulate themselves.
Education: One of the few areas in which I support socialization of services, needs improvement here in the US.
Electoral College in USA Elections: It's fine with me. I may not agree with the results, but I don't blame it on the system; I blame it on the people.
Environmentalism: Individuals should handle this, but in certain cases government regulation is appropriate.
Euthanasia: If they consent to it, sure.
Evolution or Creation?: Ummm...creation by way of evolution?
FCC: I'm assuming this is about the censorship stuff. In that case, I'm not liking where they're going.
Gay Marriage: As a legal matter, I'm all for it.
Gun Control: I don't own a gun, but I'll keep my right to do so to whatever extent I think appropriate, thank you very much.
Immigration Policies: Generally an open-but-secure-border kinda guy.
Income Tax: If it's necessary, have one.
Israel/Palestine: The whole situation is sad.
Philosophy: Incredibly complicated vaguely utilitarian framework.
Political Party Affiliation: None. Voted Libertarian in the last election.
President Bush/American Policies: Some just suck, some are so-so but not great.
Prostitution: Legalize even though I think it's highly immoral.
Religion: We should be free to be religious or not to be religious, as the case may be. No theological statements by government.
Social Security: A general waste of money, in my opinion. Charity preferred.
The UN: Good idea for an organization and I generally support the basic methods used, but doesn't have the best track record in certain areas.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: If ya want to do that, I couldn't care less.
War in Iraq: Generally opposed to those sorts of military actions because I tend to be rather isolationist, but who the hell knows whether this'll be the right thing in the end.
War on Terror: It's not a bad idea to combat terror, but I'm not exactly seeing the best methods used here. Needs some work.

I
The Frozen Empire of Ice Hockey Players
Abortion: On the fence. Don't want to see it banned because it would cause too many problems.
Affirmative Action: Don't really like it. I think we can do better.
Arms Trade: Ummm...I guess just be careful who you sell to.
Death Penalty: I hate it. If anyone innocent dies, it has failed.
Drugs: Legalizing drugs would make things so much easier. I don't take drugs, but our law enforcement agents have more important things to do.
Economic System: The government should run the essentials and leave everything else to the people; however, the government should keep tabs on business.
Education: Free and equal across the board no matter how much we have to pay for it.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Too problematic. We need something better.
Environmentalism: All for it, but not at PETA fanatic level.

Gay Marriage: For it, that is, if the government has to recognize marriages at all.
Gun Control: Don't like guns, so I favor gun control.
Immigration Policies: Open immigration, but make them get their papers.
Income Tax: Progressive and steep but fair. And sic watchdogs on the government to make sure they don't screw around with it.
Israel/Palestine: Get sane people in there to accept reasonable solutions.
Philosophy: Don't much like philosophy classes, so not sure how I should answer.
Political Party Affiliation: U.S. Democrat.
President Bush/American Policies: Can't stand Bush, and don't think U.S. foreign policy shows enough restraint.
Prostitution: Legalize but partake at your own risk.
Religion: Keep it out of government, first and foremost.
Social Security: Good idea, but maybe could be better executed.
The UN: Possibly disband it and replace it with something that will work better.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Whatever floats your boat, just don't force it on me.
War in Iraq: I always opposed it simply because the fundies could easily take over.
War on Terror: Counterproductive.

War on Terror: Who is a terrorist and what is terrorism? Where do you draw the line? Is starting wars the best way to fight it?

Veganism/Vegetarianism: I can see where they (particularly animal liberationists) are coming from, but i'm not one.
Environmentalism: The environment is necessary for our survival and should be protected.
Immigration Policies: Open-immigration; albeit with health screening.
Social Security: Under our present system, it is necessary to ensure a decent quality of life for all citizens.
The UN: The UN is a tool that the wealthy nations use to hold the majority of the world's population in line.
Israel/Palestine: Both sides have screwed up. As such, neither deserves the land. Kick them both out until they reconcile peacefully, then they get it back. :p
Arms Trade: Making money out of instruments that are designed to, and will be used to kill is inherently wrong.
Drugs: Legalise and regulate. Provide free help to addicts.

The Regressive HateState of Kazcaper

Israel/Palestine: Undecided
Arms Trade: Tightly controlled
Drugs: Against hard drugs; ambivalent about soft drugs

The Snowbound Paradise of Kellarly
Abortion: Pro-Choice, first trimester preferably, but don't know enough to know if its ok past that.
Affirmative Action: Merit Merit Merit. Sure people who are clever enough should be given as much help as possible in succeeding, but not at the expense of others just as capable.
Arms Trade: Its a problem thats not going to go away, but doing nothing would be more of a fallacy than trying to tackle it.
Death Penalty: Against.
Drugs: Cannabis legalisation, but others should be cracked down on. Pun intended :D
Economic System: There is no best, i think a capitalist system with aspects of socialism is the best way to go. Just have to get the balance right.
Education: Education should be for all, but there should also be a private sector to allow choice as long as testing is standardised.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Get rid of it.
Environmentalism: This needs tackling soon, how we are going to survive the eventual lack of oil that we need to support us needs to be solved and soon.
Euthanasia: Should be allowed, how it would be implemented I'm not sure.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
FCC: I'm gonna guess this is a US thing...
Gay Marriage: For.
Gun Control: I would like guns (hand guns, and non automatic rifles) to be legal in the UK, but registering should be mandatory, as well as compulsary tests to see whether a prospective owner is capable of the responsibility. As for the US i'll let them sort their own problems with this out :p
Immigration Policies: We need immigration in the UK so for. But how it needs to be organised i am not so sure.
Income Tax: Rich taxed more heavily.
Israel/Palestine: In my opinion they are almost as bad as each other. But like many conflicts its not about the meaning anymore, its simple revenge for revenge in pointless bloodshed. Its one of the greatest tradgedies of our time.

Political Party Affiliation: Lib Dems
President Bush/American Policies: Not a great fan by a long way. I don't believe he himself is a bad guy, but I believe its the people behind him who are the main problem.
Prostitution: The Oldest Profession - Will always exist no matter.
Religion: An integral part of the human race, but its both a pain in the arse and a godsend (ahem) at the same time.
Social Security: US thing...
The UN: Necessary, but it needs SERIOUS reform.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Go for it.
War in Iraq: Ok, hes got WMD as far as we know, lets go! *Invades* Er bugger theres non here. Crap. *Thinks* Oh well we have got rid of a prick of a dictator who we installed there in the first place. Given freedom and democracy to the people. Ohhh good. *Thinks more* But what about all the others around the world, half of whom we support...errrrr...who cares, we got oil! But shouldn't we take out the Pres. of Uzbekistan for slaughtering his own civilians? Er...isn't he our friend? B*****ks.

Oh yeah, stop shooting BRITISH TROOPS, they are your ALLIES, aim at the people who shoot at YOU!

War on Terror: A farce, granted after 9/11 the purpurtator needs to be brought to justice, but they way the US are going about it is almost as bad.

9/11 - Short of 3000 people died.

War on Terror - How many more innocents have been killed by both sides? And how many more will continue to be killed by both sides?

Is that justifiable? IMHO no.

War in Iraq: For.
War on Terror: For.

L

The People's Republic of Lascivious Maximus
Abortion: Pro-choice, with mandatory counsel and situationally dependant law.
Affirmative Action: Distinctly against, in all forms of so-called 'equal opportunity' and 'Affirmative Action' philosopy, there exists too many fundamental flaws for the ideals to actually accomplish that which they are intended for. In place of any such system, and as a direct substitution for funding, more attention should be paid to education - such that we can solve this seemingly self perpetuating problem at its source.
Arms Trade: Very strictly controlled, as well as situationally dependant with efforts to promote eventual disarmament.
Death Penalty: In most cases, I am opposed - but looking at the lives of some falsely incarcerated and placing myself in their positions, such as David Milgard, I am inclined to think that I would rather have been dead. Morally, socially and politically, I insist that the principles behind the death penalty are morbidly ridiculous, and I am happy to live in a country without this extreme form of so called 'justice'.
Drugs: Legalized and strictly regulated - with obvious forms of more lethal drugs being more tightly contained for medicinal or scientific purposes only.
Economic System: Sometimes, when greed in the world has reared its ugly head in catastrophic ways, I think we'd be better off still living in loin-cloths. I don't think there is a 'best of' in this category, not due to problems inherent with the systems, but to to problems inherent with man.
Education: More funding should be placed on re-instilling pride in the educational system, and on promoting long term goals for youth. More time should be spent on social politics and behavioural science during the developmental stages, and less weight given to finnacial and traditionally 'competetive' scholastic success.
Electoral College in USA Elections: No opinion at present.
Environmentalism: I favour an increased amount of discipline regarding social and national responsibilty pertaining to environmentalism. There should be a more defined international body governing these issues, and appropriate action taken against those breaking said international policy. There would have to be at least some degree of situational differentiation between developing and established nations, with a strong emphasis towards educating and helping improve the environmental aspects of industry within nations currently dependant on antiquated and porentially harmful technology.
Euthanasia: For, again however, situationally dependant.
Evolution or Creation?: Existentiallism. I love sitting on the fence.
FCC: In most cases, I have to say that I am for the FCC - though I beleive that there needs to be a redefined structure if they are to properly govern international media.
Gay Marriage: For. At least as far as legal marriage. No religion should have to change under government order - they have to do that on their own.
Gun Control: For, though the models of gun control seen so far in Canada, the UK, and Australia are overkill - and the laws in the states appear to be ridiculously underkill. Automatic weapons, and weapons meant to kill other people in tactical situations should be kept from the public and very tightly managed by authority.
Immigration Policies: More background screening, and less availability of aid upon entering the country (of course thats within Canada). The money that goes to bureaucracy in these cases would be better allocated towards foreign aid and education to mitigate the source of problems drawing in immigrants from poorer countries and bad situations. A properly defined work system should be put in place, deciding a certain period of mandatory labour in exchange for certain provisions.
Income Tax: The standard poverty level should be increased. There should be higher taxes for big business and lower taxes for smaller independant labour. Read 'The Grapes of Wrath' - you'll soon understand the problems with corporate support.
Israel/Palestine: Neither side is totally right, neither side is totally wrong. The US should not be involved. There needs to be a solution, and it will only come with education - not military conquest - as has thus far been proven.
Philosophy: Existentiallism. Attention and respect paid to the doctrines of, among others, Nietzsche, Sartre, Kierkegaard, and Camus.
Political Party Affiliation: Left-Centrist - independant.
President Bush/American Policies: Bush is too stupid to have accomplished anything on his own. Im more concerned about the people who helped him gain power, form his opinions for him, and run the country from the strings Bush is tied to. American policy is ridiculously jaded, and needs a complete moral overhaul - though at the cost it will incur I am quite certain that will never happen until (as is inevitable) the empire crumbles under greed and corruption (as all do) and needs to be rebuilt. On that note, Kerry is no better. Do not confuse political policy strictly with the man in charge, its been this way for a very long time. Read: Manifest Destiny.
Prostitution: It is the worlds oldest profession after all. Legalize it, regulate it, educate the people to try and limit the negative aspects of it. It is personal choice to take up this profession.
Religion: Existentiallism, in keeping with my philosophy.
Social Security: For it. Situationally dependant (seems to be a common them for me here), education and reciprocal labour with an interest in reloaction to the work environment should be deeply promoted.
The UN: For it, with a restructuring. The voice of the UN is weakened by its lack of enforcment against nations who feel free to follow suggestion only as it benefits them politically or economically.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Im not either, but I support those who are. Its a personal choice either way - and I have no problem with people eating meat, though I do have a problem with agricultural responsibility and its effects on the environment.
War in Iraq: I oppose the war with great sadness for the losses on both sides. I hope dearly that the men and women serving there make it back alive, and I am proud of them for serving in what I trust they beleive to be a noble cause - whether it is or it is not in fact noble. I do beleive that this war has been waged for reasons that are shamefull, and in poor judgement.
War on Terror: How many casualties will it take? It's not a war, its genocide. The people supportive of this war in the higher levels of politics have not done a good enough job masking their true interests for me to support their obivous corruption. Taking advantage of a nations fear is not an honourable discourse.

The Empire of Layarteb
Abortion: Against except in the case of rape, death to mother/child, or mental retardation.
Affirmative Action: Against.
Arms Trade: Pro, but only to approved nations.
Death Penalty: Pro, for the crimes of rape, murder, treason, or crimes against children.
Drugs: Against.
Economic System: Capitalist but corporations are not above the law.
Education: Pro, the children are the future but education should reflect actual grades, none of this "Well Ds are Bs without a belt" crap.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Pro, the American people are obviously, after 2000, too stupid to push the right buttons.
Environmentalism: We shouldn't trash the environment but at the same time trees are not more important than people and the Earth is a self-sustaining entity.
Euthanasia: Pro, for terminal illness or mental retardation.
Evolution or Creation?: I couldn't possibly hazard a guess as to which is correct.
FCC: Apathetic.
Gay Marriage: Against. It defies nature.
Gun Control: Gun control is hitting your target.
Immigration Policies: Allowing a set number of legal individuals I am not against as long as the number is low, perhaps under 250,000. Illegals must be sent back.
Income Tax: It should be a flat-tax.
Israel/Palestine: Tit-for-tat. Neither side is right, neither side is wrong. I do side with the Israelis though.
Philosophy: Philosophy is important but philosophy must be proven through the use of history. Everything comes from political science, as does philosophy, so the truth is in history.
Political Party Affiliation: Though I am conservative I am a registered Republican.
President Bush/American Policies: Bush is a moron. I did vote for him though because it boiled down to this. "I know what I am getting with Bush; I don't know what I am getting with Kerry."
Prostitution: Against.
Religion: I am agnostic but to the point where I would take a stand against/for religion, I would not. I would however, tax them.
Social Security: Against.
The UN: Against. They violate sovereignty and are utterly useless.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Every time I see a vegan or a vegetarian I want to kill a cow and eat a piece of steak in front of them and make sure it's medium-rare.
War in Iraq: I'm for it though I think we ought to hit them differently. I am not entirely fond though of going for it before we caught Osama.
War on Terror: How do you fight terrorism? You need to fight on so many fronts, in so many countries. Terrorism is a threat though and whilst thinking you will stomp it out is foolhearty, it should not be allowed to run around without check.

The Nudist Colony of LazyHippies
Political Party Affiliation: Puerto Rican Independence Party
Religion: Evangelical Christian
Abortion: Pro-life
Gun Control: Generally against but it depends on the needs of the individual country.
Gay Marriage: In favor of the government allowing gay marriage but against gay marriage and the homosexual lifestyle personally
Euthanasia: Much too complex an issue to address in one phrase
Affirmative Action: In favor
Evolution or Creation?: Creation
President Bush/American Policies: Against. The US is a force for evil in the world
War in Iraq: Against
War on Terror: Against
Electoral College in USA Elections: Against. I support a popular vote based proportional system.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: No opinion. Its just a personal choice.
Environmentalism: There are some environmental issues that we really need to pay attention to (the release of harmful chemicals into the air for example), but most of them (like global warming) are little more than propaganda left over from the no good tree hugging hippies.
Immigration Policies: This is very dependant on the situations each country is facing. In general, however, I am against immigration in all its forms. We should be citizens of the world and it should not matter where we live.
Social Security: In favor
The UN: Not perfect, but its the best we've got and we should work to strengthen it.
Israel/Palestine: Much too complex an issue to summarize in one phrase.
Arms Trade: What about arms trade?
Drugs: In favor of legalizing soft drugs and medicalizing all others. Addiction should be treated as a medical condition rather than a crime.
Economic Model: Socialist in the short term and ultimately communist.

The Cinquieme Republique of Le Franada
Abortion: pro-choice
Affirmative Action: against
Arms Trade: I am not sure
Death Penalty: against
Drugs: drug abuse should be illegal because of the burden that it causes on society
Economic System: mixed
Education: Public education, strict control on private education
Electoral College in USA Elections:
Environmentalism: it is important to protect our planet
Euthanasia: more against, it makes me nervous giving that power to doctors but I can understand some of the arguments for
Evolution or Creation?: evolution
FCC:
Gay Marriage: marriage no, but they can have unions of some other nature
Gun Control: for
Immigration Policies: no quotas, allow for needed immigration flows especially of qualified labours
Income Tax: progressive
Israel/Palestine: Neither is innocent, but I have some more sympathy for Palestine as that they are not even fully allowed to control their own territory
Philosophy: social Gaullist
Political Party Affiliation: UMP (Union for a Popular Movement) but not a Sarkozite
President Bush/American Policies: dislike and distrust him/ American foreign policy does not take into serious consideration the changes in the world system
Prostitution: against
Religion: people are to be allowed to believe as they want unless it leds to harm to others, however religion should not be allowed into the governmental institutions
Social Security: necessary
The UN: necessary for better interstate relations, but is in need of some reforms to again realise its mission
Veganism/Vegetarianism: fine if you want to do it, but don't force it on me
War in Iraq: illegal and big mistake
War on Terror: most countries are pursuing it the wrong way and/or using a grounds to oppress their own people or peoples of another nation.

The Republic of Leonstein
Abortion: Pro. I'm not alive until I'm born, and so the mother can do whatever she wants until then. It should be funded by the state in order to help her through a different time.
Affirmative Action: Pro. The system isn't fair and affirmative action merely creates a basis of minority workers in higher level jobs - which hopefully makes it easier for coming generations to get in on merit only.
Arms Trade: A good like any other. Watch what happens, but don't get all emotional about it.
Death Penalty: Against. State-sponsored revenge.
Drugs: Make soft drugs legal and sell them through licensed dealers, distribute hard drugs to addicts in special government centres.
Economic System: Reformed Social Market Economy.
Education: Free for everyone, with quotas that allow only the best and hardest-working students in. That'll eliminate the "I can study law only because my parents are rich!"-factor.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Let them do what they want. I think it's antiquated.
Environmentalism: The environment is an important resource. Basic economics suggests you have to take measures to stop it from being used irresponsibly.
Euthanasia: Pro. If I want to die, no one should try to stop me - even moreso if I have some sort of disease.
Evolution or Creation?: Is that a serious question. Evolution, thanks!
FCC: That's an American thing, isn't it? Free Speech to everyone, unless it is false and/or merely a means to create hate. Like flaming on these forums.
Gay Marriage: Pro. Let them do what they want. Marriage is created by humans, and humans can change the definition of it whenever they want.
Gun Control: Pro. I prefer the freedom of not being shot over the freedom to shoot someone.
Immigration Policies: Let them all in, support them with language and culture courses and see the country prosper.
Income Tax: Progressive, although one could do interesting things with sales taxes.
Israel/Palestine: Palestine.
Philosophy: Hmm, Socrates was good, Hume as well and in some things...Marx.
Political Party Affiliation: SPD/Grüne in Germany. Any other social democrats are worth a look as well. US Democrats are way to right for me though.
President Bush/American Policies: They got what they deserved. I just wish they'd leave the rest of the world alone with it.

Electoral College in USA Elections: I have no real interest in how foreigners choose to govern themselves.

Gay Marriage: In favour of civil marriage for gay couples, but I wouldn't attempt to force the Christian church to facilitate gay marriage against its will.

War on Terror: A con
Electoral College in USA Elections: N/A I'm not from the USA
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Meat tastes too good to not eat but should be produced in animal-friendly ways... no factory farming (supporter of local foods, farm direct-to-consumer retail, & small-scale farming in general)
Environmentalism: Should do more to protect the environment, we can only screw it up once
Immigration Policies: We're all from the same planet, we're all the same no matter what "country" you come from... its pot luck as to where you are born and who your parents are, we shouldn't make such a big deal of these supposed differences, and bear any economic cost. Nationalism is the devil!
Social Security: I'm a socialist, you figure it out
The UN: For. It may have its problems but it beats the hell out of unilateralism
Israel/Palestine: If the US would stop blindly supporting Israel, putting the peace process in jeopardy, maybe there could be peace. Religious fundamentalism and fanaticism, religious hatred, is something i just don't understand
Arms Trade: Should be shut down. By their very nature these weapons are designed to kill people - something that should never be done. Who is some military general or politician to decide the fates of the lives of men?
Drugs: For legalisation and regulation of cannabis, to be sold in licensed coffeeshops/hash bars a la the Netherlands. For decriminalisation of possession of other drugs (should be confiscated/fined but not a criminal offence), but supply should remain firmly illegal with greater penalties - including supply of marijuana (not sold with a license)
Economic policies: Pro regulation of business to protect workers and consumers. For progressive tax systems. Anti-consumerism (causes a downward spiral of human happiness). You shouldn't put (short term) profit before happiness, nor the environment. Becoming quite anti-capitalist in general; want ultimatley for the abolition of money
Economic Model: Mix of Liberal/Socialist in the short term but ultimately reformist communist
Philosophy: Subscriber to Kantian Ethics, like the work of Rousseau (not Hume hahaha), and am Regressionist and trying to be an Altruist
Prostitution: Legal within certain zones, strict regulation & policing, free facilities should be available for prostitutes such as medical help & advice, safehouses, general advice. remove the criminal element
FCC: no clue. not american
Income Tax: should be progressive. agree with Rawls' work on the Veil of Ignorance - the skills, parents, disabilities, and talents we are born with, and the environment and country we are born into are not decided by us but by complete chance. the only fair or just system is one which counteracts these chance differences and makes sure nobody can benefit at the expense of another just because of a chance talent (within reason, a meritocracy is still desirable); convesley nobody looses out because of their chance disabilites. there should thus be redistribution from the wealthy to the poor through progressive tax systems.
ultimatley i believe in communism; "from each according to his ability to each according to his need"
Education: of primary importance. its not economic growth that makes our lives better, necessarily, but education. increasing the intelligence and education of a nation should be any government's main aim. education sould be free for all people, and of higher quality than it is today. there is a definate role for new information technology in the education process, rather than relying only on old tried and tested methods.
education should be a 'national institution for the formation of Character' (Robert Owen) - i am a progressive/evolutionary communist and as such believe that altruism can be taught to people through education; aspects of our current nature can be removed, such as greed, overcompetativeness, desire for unrequited material aquisition (consumerism) and other negative qualities that cause the world great problems. the issue that this could be seen as 'brainwashing' is one i recognise, but its not like we don't do this already through the current education system (encouraging competativeness, greed, etc), and i believe (for once) the end justifies the means.
phew....
Death Penalty: dead against (hahaha). nobody has the authority to decide who should live and who should die - another reason i'm a pacifist too

War on Terror: Just a front for the government to gain even more control over the citizens/against

The Grand Imperium of Risban
Abortion: Pro-choice. Personally, I don't like it. However, it is not the government's decision, it is the woman's. I believe the government should offer incentives to mothers who choose adoption over abortion, though.

Immigration Policies: Stronger backround checks on immigrants, and stronger laws against illegal aliens.

President Bush/American Policies: Bush has done more bad than good (but he has done some good!), and our foreign policies need help. Bad.

War on Terror: Against. (Why not have a war on war while we're at it?)

Veganism/Vegetarianism: Very honorable. If you can do it, more power to you.
Environmentalism: In favour.
Immigration Policies: Restrict immigration, especially in light of 9/11.
Social Security: It needs some major changes, but I would favour a cap on lifetime earnings or post-retirement earnings to keep the very rich from drawing money from it.
The UN: I think it should either be strong as a true world government or just not even bother.
Israel/Palestine: I think Palestinians should have their own state and Israel should exist as an independent Jewish state and each should leave the other alone.
Arms Trade: I'd only favour selling arms to countries we trust.
Drugs: I think generally, criminalisation has not worked to eliminate it.
Economic System: A mix of socialism and capitalism. I don't know really.
Prostitution: I say legalise it but tax it and impose health regulations.
FCC: Needs to spend more time regulating media conglomerates and breaking up the new Ma Bells than worrying about Janet Jackson showing her clevage.
Income Tax: I favour a system where the rich have to pay more than the hard-working middle and working classes.
Education: Should be a much stronger priority than it is.
Death Penalty: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life. In favour.

The Armed Republic of the Serene Death
Abortion: legal
Affirmative Action: Preferential treatment, shouldn't be allowed
Arms Trade: Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. ~ Dwight David Eisenhower

Veganism/Vegetarianism: the practice of only killing and devouring living things that can't scream or fight back and feeling morally superior because of it
War in Iraq: A pre-emptive war in 'defense' of freedom would surely destroy freedom, because one simply cannot engage in barbarous action without becoming a barbarian, because one cannot defend human values by calculated and unprovoked violence without doing mortal damage to the values one is trying to defend. — J. William Fulbright

Immigration: Make it much easier for immigrants to come in legally in order to remove the motivation to pay illegal immigrants below minimum wage.

Evolution or Creation?: A little from column A, and a little from column 2. Evolution guided by God.

The Sultanate of Supreme Badassness

Affirmative Action: Should be economically and not racially based.

Education: Essential to success.
Electoral College in USA Elections: An imperfect and twisted system, but one which has some life left in it
Environmentalism: Important for future generations. But animals aren't as important as people.

FCC: More than a little anal but overall has the right idea.
Gay Marriage: Oxymoronic.

T

The Cybernetically Modified Armed Centrist Republic of Tactical Grace
Abortion: The option must always be there, with a minimum of restriction.
Affirmative Action: Against. I believe in merit.
Arms Trade: In favour, if it serves the national interest.
Death Penalty: Against, as no judicial system is perfect, and thus no judicial system can be trusted with an individual's life.
Drugs: Against, and in favour of tough sentencing.
Economic System: A technocracy. Essentially, I am broadly in favour of the EU's economic policies.
Education: Against interference with established and proven methods, as is happening too often these days.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Meh.
Environmentalism: Put it this way, I would like to see the energy industry, and all national infrastructure projects, exempt from planning regulations where local residents are consulted. I am against environmental destruction, but equally against people blocking national infrastructure on the grounds that it spoils the appearance of the landscape.
Euthanasia: In favour.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution all the way.
FCC: WTF?
Gay Marriage: Undecided.
Gun Control: No private gun ownership. However, would like to see government-run shooting clubs, with weapons stored on premises.
Immigration Policies: As an extension of economic policy, yes. As an extension of humanitarian policy, no.
Income Tax: A good idea, sadly, it has rarely been applied in an egalitarian fashion.
Israel/Palestine: The creation of Israel was a mistake. Should it deny Palestine the right to exist, its own right to exist should be withdrawn. The UN should not heisitate to remove what it has granted.
Philosophy: Existentialist
Political Party Affiliation: Liberal Democrat (UK)
President Bush/American Policies: Counter-productive, even for the US. Bush is seriously undermining American energy security, and with it, national survival.
Prostitution: In favour, if properly regulated by the government and independent agencies.
Religion: Atheist/existentialist, rejecting the question itself as irrelevant.
Social Security: Desirable, though perhaps ultimately unsustainable.
The UN: The only collective conscience the world has left.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Communism. (Joke) Seriously though, I cannot see how it can be healthy.
War in Iraq: I would have preferred to see a deal made with the previous regime, relaxing sanctions in exchange for oil contracts.
War on Terror: A distraction in order to justify any future military adventures arising as a consequence of the West's energy policies.

The Royal Imperial Republic of Takuma
Abortion: Pro-choice: "it's her body"
Affirmative Action: Against. True equality means no one is treated better than others, even if they're minorities.

Drugs: For complete legalization.
Economic System: Socialist Green

Philosophy: Some existentialism, but I'm not really sure.
Political Party Affiliation: Green Party of Canada
President Bush/American Policies: Bush is a moron.
Prostitution: Legalized
Religion: Athiest; for separation of Church and State 100%.
Social Security: For.
The UN: It's OK and a good idea, but less corruption and some teeth will make it great.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Neither. Carnivore all the way!
War in Iraq: Against. Illegal.

President Bush/American Policies: vehemently against
War in Iraq: against
War on Terror: oil war for profits. against
Electoral College in USA Elections: not from US, but i would be against
Veganism/Vegetarianism: should be universal
Environmentalism: must stop exploiting our fragile planet in the quest for more and more money. what has to be stopped are the large scale pollutants, such as power stations, internal combustion engines, heavy industries. these must either be done without, or replaced with green alternatives. we must stop the large scale problem (Global Warming) first before smaller scale problems can be addressed.
Immigration Policies: open borders
Social Security: im british, so therefore i like supporting the underdog. also large amount of GDP for untied aid to developing countries, and the dropping of the debt.
The UN: for
Israel/Palestine: immediate halt of israeli human rights abuses
Arms Trade: against rich countires making millions out of the deaths of poor people.
Drugs: legalisation of cannabis, but to stop problem would ensure developing countries were offered a better, legitimate, alternative than to produce the drugs in the first place.
Economic policies: high rates of tax for the rich, as people can very easily live on £50,000 a year. any more than this goes to the government. business, if not nationalised, is heavily regulated.

The Armed Republic of Texpunditistan
Political Party Affiliation: Republican
Religion: Non-denominational Protestant Christian
Abortion: Personally against, but I believe it's a state's rights issue. Let the individual states decide.
Gun Control: Strongly Against
Gay Marriage: Against (though, I have no problem with civil unions) - Also a state's rights issue.
Euthanasia: Against (Again, let the states decide for themselves.)
Affirmative Action: Strongly Against
Evolution or Creation?: Either/Or. Evolution should not be taught as fact. Neither should creationism.
President Bush/American Policies: I'm not happy with some of Bush's decisions, but he definitely could do worse.
War in Iraq: While I do not believe that we should abandon Iraq, the government there needs a little "tough love". They have to be willing to fight for their own freedom...not just our troops fighting for it.
War on Terror: Needs to be more practical and less political.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Strongly For
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Leave it up to the individual. Don't expect me to stop eating meat, though. (Humans are natural omnivores.)
Environmentalism: People and businesses need to be more aware of the damage they cause and do their best to minimize it, but the evnironmentalist "chicken little" types need to get a grip.
Social Security: Allow citizens to opt for private accounts if they wish. Allow others to stay with the current system if they wish. But, to mandate no choice in social security is unconsitutional. (Look at Chile and Galveston, TX -- the results speak for themselves.)
Immigration Policies: Build a fence. Use National Guard/military reserve troops to patrol borders as help to the Border Patrol. Deport illegals. Reform immigration procedures. Enforce existing immigration laws. Economic/trade sanctions against countries that promote illegal immigration into the US.
The UN: The UN has far outlived its usefulness. Withdraw the US from the UN. Remove the UN from the US mainland (preferably, move it to Europe or the Middle East). Start a "Coalition of the Willing" (voluntary organization along the lines of the group of countries that, along with the US, did most of the "heavy lifting" during tsunami relief efforts).
Israel/Palestine: Pro-Israel. If the Palestinians wanted a state, they should have took the UN's offer like Israel did. Why should Israel have to give up land to create a Palestinian state when the state of Israel currently takes up less than 1% of the Middle Eastern landmass?
Arms Trade: For arms trade, in general. Against arms trade with dictatorships and countries that sponsor or turn a blind eye towards terrorism originating within their borders.
Drugs: Personally, vehemently against. But I think stupid people should have the right to OD and clean up the gene pool on their own if they wish.
Economic System: Free Market Capitalism (with some/few restrictions)
Philosophy: Mostly "live and let live/Golden Rule".
Prostitution: Decriminalize (Also a state's rights issue.)
FCC: Abolish all federal regulations on media. Allow the market to decide.
Income Tax: Abolish all forms of compulsory income taxation. Go to a flat sales tax system.
Education: Privatized or voucher system (home schooling acceptable as well). Must follow basic education standards (the "three Rs"). Compulsory through grade 12.

The Noble Lands of The Capitalist Vikings
Abortion: Against. The whole "pro-choice" argument is flawed, and anti-abortion stances should not be considered authoritarian. The right for the unborn to live is vastly more important than the right for the mother to terminate it. Exception being if both lives are in jeopardy and abortion could be considered a life-saving procedure. No government funding.
Affirmative Action Against. Merit, not handouts.
Arms Trade: Only in limited circumstances, and only with close allies under just causes. Vague, huh? Basically arms trade should be prudent and well thought out.
Death Penalty: Against. Even the worst criminals should have time---a lot of time in a life sentence---to ponder their crimes, and maybe become better for it. Besides, the penalty system is flawed, inaccurate, and antiquated. No government funding for rehabilitating criminals however.
Drugs: Current illegal should remain illegal, and efforts to enforce laws, and break up trade should be exerted.
Economic System: Free-market capitalism (not to be confused with lassiez-faire or coporatism). Meaning no tariffs, corporate welfare, no monopolies, trust corps, pooling, etc. Minimal government interference, and only in times of dire need.
Education: Public run and supported up through the collegiate level. Private education should remain private. Education should be available to all so that people can have the tools to better their lives.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Abolish. More harm than good in having it.
Environmentalism: The environment is an asset we should manage carefully, and businesses should be responsible and respectful towards the environment.
Euthanasia: Depends. Active euthanasia (causing some one to die, like giving them an overdose of pills to hasten their (which would not normally come about), I'm opposed to. Passive euthanasia (allowing one to die, such as removing extensive life support that are keeping a person alive) I'm okay with.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
FCC: For, within reason.
Gay Marriage: Against, however should be an issue decided on democratically.
Gun Control: Extensive backround checks and strict, mandatory sentences for those who use weapons in crimes. With that said, for responsible citizens, handguns, rifles, SMGs should be legal. Other heavy military grade weaponry should be banned for the populace.
Immigration Policies: Tight immigration standards and extensive backround checks, but let a steady amount of immigrants enter. Guard borders well and set up several large corporate businesses along the borders to hire possible illegal immigrants.
Income Tax: Abolished. National sales tax would be instituted, and government spending would be cut (ideally).
Israel/Palestine: Neither. More accurately both; I want a peaceful end to the conflict, and since both sides commit atrocious acts, the only solution is to be a mediator, rather than favor one side over the other.
Philosophy: St. Augustine (theologically), Adam Smith (economically).
Political Party Affiliation: Registered Republican. Considering switching to Independent if the neo-conservatism movement continues to flourish. Basically whatever party that brings back true conservatism.
President Bush/American Policies: Depends on the issue. Most of the time I actually disagree with Bush. However, I am very patriotic, and believe that the U.S. can bring a lot of good the world as a whole.
Prostitution: Against. It is dangerous, immoral, will most definitely lead to an increase in crime and will destroy marriage even further (which in turn will continue to break up the family structure). Not a good idea.
Religion: Catholic
Social Security: Ideally, abolish it. More practically, privatize it.
The UN: Ideally, widespread reform. Eliminate a lot of the bureaucracy and inefficiency, as well as make it more of an "acting" body with an actual military and more pervasive police force. If not, I would wish the U.S. to withdraw from the U.N.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Not important to me.
War in Iraq: Strongly against. Even more unfounded than the Vietnam War (which actually had some legitimate concerns--most of which were handled poorly). Saddam and other dictators could be toppled with means other than military action--most notably free market global capitalism, sanctions, and other forms of coersion. Even assassination.
War on : Tough issue. I don't like how the size of the central government is increasing, but I also dislike the idea of religous fanaticsattacking our country. What I will say is that the issue should be something that is over necessity to the security of the nation. Increased funding to the CIA and other intelligence agencies, stricter border regulations and better police funding would greatly help the situation. However, I am strongly opposed to any measures that take away from the rights of others--ie the Patriot Act. Basically, I would summarize my stance with the saying, "the ends don't justify the means".

The Republican Monocracy of The Great Sixth Reich
Abortion: Strongly against in all cases EXCEPT special circumstances (such as cases in which the mother's health is at risk, sexual assault, and so on).
Affirmative Action: Strongly against. It is racist and needs to be banned.
Arms Trade: A terrific source of money and a good way to protect oneself (or one nation ;)).
Death Penalty: Life in prision is much more of a punishment than just killing someone. Against, but ONLY if sentences are transfered to life in prision.
Drugs: Should be tested by the government to ensure safety. All side effects should be listed on the container. Against legalizing any harmful drug for "recreational" use.
Economic System: Capitalism with a hint of protectorism.
Education: Should be free for all.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Strongly support.

Education: Optional and privatized

Euthanasia: For, if the individual chooses and is in great physical pain
Evolution or Creation?: I believe a diety is the initial cause of creation but otherwise accept evolution
FCC: Against, obscenity is only obscene to the beholder.

War on Terror: Support if the war is reasonable and actually directed against Terror

The Most Serene Republic of The Phileides
Abortion: Pro-choice
Affirmative Action: Should be class-based, not race-based
Arms Trade: No position
Death Penalty: I'm not against it, but it should only be used when there is no hope of rehabilitation and we're certain the person is guilty. Example: Timothy McVeigh.
Drugs: Legalize mostly harmless ones like marijuana and make it easier to get adequate pain medication
Economic System: Capitalism with regulation to protect consumers
Education: I favor school choice, but not school vouchers. If we use school vouchers, either the government ends up regulating private schools, or there is no regulation on who can get vouchers and the government ends up funding Scientology and who knows what else. Either way is bad.
Electoral College in USA Elections: No position
Environmentalism: We need stricter emissions regulations
Euthanasia: I'm for it, when the person making the decision is of sound mind or left a living will
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution! Anyone who still doubts it has their head under a rock.
FCC: The hysteria over Janet Jackson's briefly exposed breast was ridiculous.
Gay Marriage: Either recognize same-sex marriage or get rid of all government recognition of marriage
Gun Control: Full automatics and other military-grade guns should be closely regulated, but law-abiding citizens should be able to bear other arms, even concealed on their persons if they demonstrate need and pass a thorough background check
Immigration Policies: Pro-immigration. Immigrants are what make the US great!
Income Tax: Progressive and enough to run the government without excessive deficits
Israel/Palestine: Um, peace is good. But I have no idea how to achieve it.
Philosophy: Politically, somewhere left of libertarian. Ethically, a utilitarian hedonist.
Political Party Affiliation: Democrat, more or less
President Bush/American Policies: Not a fan. Bush's administration is too bellicose and anti-science, among other things.
Prostitution: Should be legalized, but I don't know that much government regular will be necessary. The American porn industry seems to do a pretty good job of policing itself.
Religion: Atheist.
Social Security: I don't know what the best course of action is, but I'm convinced Bush's privatization plan would hurt way more than help.
The UN: A great idea poorly executed. For example, nations with grave human right violations should not be on human rights committees.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I'm a sometimes-vegetarian. But it's hard to eat well as a vegetarian when you're dirt poor. Ground turkey costs a third as much as tofu.
War in Iraq: A stupid idea poorly executed. Run on bad intelligence with little postwar planning, and now the people of Iraq are paying for it.
War on Terror: I think it's not being carried out well. Instead of merely threatening nations that harbor terrorists, we should be looking into what makes people terrorists in the first place and do something about the root causes. It should be primarily a war for hearts and minds.

The Democratic Republic of The Roundabout Zoo
Abortion: Pro-choice in all circumstances
Affirmative Action: For in principle, against in practice
Arms Trade: A necessary evil in today's world
Death Penalty: Against
Drugs: Legalise and tax cannabis (regulated Amsterdam-style cafes), end persecution of personal drug users, but crack down on supply chains and gang conflicts associated with drugs
Education: Free and compulsory primary and secondary education to the age of 16 (free until 18). Small standard fees for domestic university students
Electoral College in USA Elections: Needs reform, IMO to a system of proportional representation (PR) on a state-by-state basis
Environmentalism: Greater research needed into sustainable energy, heavy regulation for big business in terms of environmental policy and severe financial action to those who flout the rules
Euthanasia: Yes, for anyone who is able to make, or has previously made, a 'living will'
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution
FCC: The overzealous arm of the religious right in US media. And the right-wing talks of the "liberal bias in the media"! Should be eliminated to preserve free speech
Gay Marriage: Yes, it's time to wake up to the 21st century
Gun Control: No-one outside the military should possess a firearm for any other purpose than legal hunting and game shooting (no Mr Heston, that doesn't include M-16s)
Immigration Policies: In the UK, first priority must be to make people aware of the difference between "asylum seekers" and economic migrants
Income Tax: Graduated scale, the rich pay a higher proportion and the poor pay less.
Israel/Palestine: Support for a Palestinian state
Philosophy: People should be able to do what they like so long as it does not infringe the freedoms of other people, persecution of minorities (not just ethnic) is wrong and has no place in modern civilised society
Political Party Affiliation: None, although voted Liberal Democrat in the 2005 UK election
President Bush/American Policies: A single-issue president who used 9/11 to push through his policies because of course, to vote against him would be "un-American". American foreign policy is too brutish, too "us vs them".
Prostitution: Should be legalised and unionised to ensure clean sexual health in brothels, but care should be taken to prevent minors from exposure.
Religion: Agnostic, I follow my own moral code and if there is a God I'll let him judge me on that when the time comes.
Social Security: A good thing, but needs reform in the US (and UK). Nationalised healthcare is the way forward in all countries, it should be a basic right of all world citizens.
The UN: Not as effective as it could be, but whilst reform is on the table, without support from the US (which simply ignores the UN if it doesn't fit in with their agenda) nothing much is going to change.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Personally I love meat, but if people don't want to eat meat or meat products than great for them!
War in Iraq: Against. I wonder if the real motives for invasion will ever be admitted (ie. not the disproved WMD or Al-Qa'eda links)
War on Terror: A nice idea in principle, but manipulated to the Bush administration and their backers' own ends. If they wanted to catch bin Laden and end the main battle they could have done it already.

Gay Marriage: Legalize it
Gun Control: Ban guns altogether
Immigration Policies: I say we should open the borders

Philosophy: Absurdist existentialism
Political Party Affiliation: I am a member of the Socialist, Communist, and Democratic parties
President Bush/American Policies: Currently? I am firmly against most everything the President does

The Free Peoples of Zotona
Abortion: Very, very pro-choice.
Affirmative Action: Yes.
Arms Trade: I am not sure I care.
Death Penalty: Yes, for extreme crimes.
Drugs: I'm anti-drugs; they personally disgust me. However, I sto;; think all hard drugs should be legalized. It should be a one's choice what they do with their own body.
Economic System: I don't like what already exists of our economic system but don't really see how it could really be improved.
Education: Free educations should be available to all children which includes subjects such as Language, Mathematics, Science, and perhaps Social Studies. Also electives including Foreign Languages, Music, Art, Drama, Home Ec., and the like should be available and encouraged but not nessecarily required. If religious holidays are celebrated within a school than the school must be sensitive to ALL relgious holidays. Literature should include some classics but many more modern works, and required reading should be nonexistant. It is my belief that it should be the school's number one goal to teach, and number two goal to make learning fun and interesting.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Against.

War on Terror: Needs to be more practical and less political.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Strongly For
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Leave it up to the individual. Don't expect me to stop eating meat, though. (Humans are natural omnivores.)
Environmentalism: People and businesses need to be more aware of the damage they cause and do their best to minimize it, but the evnironmentalist "chicken little" types need to get a grip.
Social Security: Allow citizens to opt for private accounts if they wish. Allow others to stay with the current system if they wish. But, to mandate no choice in social security is unconsitutional. (Look at Chile and Galveston, TX -- the results speak for themselves.)
Immigration Policies: Build a fence. Use National Guard/military reserve troops to patrol borders as help to the Border Patrol. Deport illegals. Reform immigration procedures. Enforce existing immigration laws. Economic/trade sanctions against countries that promote illegal immigration into the US.

I see two major problems with this thread. First of all, you left out the most important question that people should answer. Namely, Economic Model (capitalist, socialist, communist, etc). The other problem is that you are asking for player beliefs but excessively tying them to nation names by asking for complete title. What if I dont play my nation according to my own beliefs (in fact, I do not)? In any case here are my own personal beliefs (which differ from those of my fictional nation on NS).

Nation Name: The Nudist Colony of LazyHippies
Political Party Affiliation: Puerto Rican Independence Party
Religion: Evangelical Christian
Abortion: Pro-life
Gun Control: Generally against but it depends on the needs of the individual country.
Gay Marriage: In favor of the government allowing gay marriage but against gay marriage and the homosexual lifestyle personally
Euthanasia: Much too complex an issue to address in one phrase
Affirmative Action: In favor
Evolution or Creation?: Creation
President Bush/American Policies: Against. The US is a force for evil in the world
War in Iraq: Against
War on Terror: Against
Electoral College in USA Elections: Against. I support a popular vote based proportional system.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: No opinion. Its just a personal choice.
Environmentalism: There are some environmental issues that we really need to pay attention to (the release of harmful chemicals into the air for example), but most of them (like global warming) are little more than propaganda left over from the no good tree hugging hippies.
Immigration Policies: This is very dependant on the situations each country is facing. In general, however, I am against immigration in all its forms. We should be citizens of the world and it should not matter where we live.
Social Security: In favor
The UN: Not perfect, but its the best we've got and we should work to strengthen it.
Israel/Palestine: Much too complex an issue to summarize in one phrase.
Arms Trade: What about arms trade?
Drugs: In favor of legalizing soft drugs and medicalizing all others. Addiction should be treated as a medical condition rather than a crime.
Economic Model: Socialist in the short term and ultimately communist.

Pure Metal

17-05-2005, 09:16

The Really Really High People of Pure Metal

Political Party Affiliation: Socialist/Communist, general left winger
Religion: None, but curious
Abortion: OK before 19 weeks, pro-life after
Gun Control: Ban em
Gay Marriage: For... whatever floats your boat...
Euthanasia: For with Living Wills
Affirmative Action: No standing
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution
President Bush/American Policies: Bring back Clinton!
War in Iraq: Opposed. Pacifist
War on Terror: A con
Electoral College in USA Elections: N/A I'm not from the USA
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Meat tastes too good to not eat but should be produced in animal-friendly ways... no factory farming (supporter of local foods, farm direct-to-consumer retail, & small-scale farming in general)
Environmentalism: Should do more to protect the environment, we can only screw it up once
Immigration Policies: We're all from the same planet, we're all the same no matter what "country" you come from... its pot luck as to where you are born and who your parents are, we shouldn't make such a big deal of these supposed differences, and bear any economic cost. Nationalism is the devil!
Social Security: I'm a socialist, you figure it out;)
The UN: For. It may have its problems but it beats the hell out of unilateralism
Israel/Palestine: If the US would stop blindly supporting Israel, putting the peace process in jeopardy, maybe there could be peace. Religious fundamentalism and fanaticism, religious hatred, is something i just don't understand
Arms Trade: Should be shut down. By their very nature these weapons are designed to kill people - something that should never be done. Who is some military general or politician to decide the fates of the lives of men?
Drugs: For legalisation and regulation of cannabis, to be sold in licensed coffeeshops/hash bars a la the Netherlands. For decriminalisation of possession of other drugs (should be confiscated/fined but not a criminal offence), but supply should remain firmly illegal with greater penalties - including supply of marijuana (not sold with a license)
Economic policies: Pro regulation of business to protect workers and consumers. For progressive tax systems. Anti-consumerism (causes a downward spiral of human happiness). You shouldn't put (short term) profit before happiness, nor the environment. Becoming quite anti-capitalist in general; want ultimatley for the abolition of money
Economic Model: Mix of Liberal/Socialist in the short term but ultimately reformist communist
Philosophy: Subscriber to Kantian Ethics, like the work of Rousseau (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Rousseau) (not Hume hahaha), and am Regressionist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regressionism) and trying to be an Altruist (http://www.altruists.org/about/altruism/)

edit 22/05/05

Prostitution:
Legal within certain zones, strict regulation & policing, free facilities should be available for prostitutes such as medical help & advice, safehouses, general advice. remove the criminal element

FCC:
no clue. not american

Income Tax:
should be progressive. agree with Rawls' work on the Veil of Ignorance - the skills, parents, disabilities, and talents we are born with, and the environment and country we are born into are not decided by us but by complete chance. the only fair or just system is one which counteracts these chance differences and makes sure nobody can benefit at the expense of another just because of a chance talent (within reason, a meritocracy is still desirable); convesley nobody looses out because of their chance disabilites. there should thus be redistribution from the wealthy to the poor through progressive tax systems.
ultimatley i believe in communism; "from each according to his ability to each according to his need"

Education:
of primary importance. its not economic growth that makes our lives better, necessarily, but education. increasing the intelligence and education of a nation should be any government's main aim. education sould be free for all people, and of higher quality than it is today. there is a definate role for new information technology in the education process, rather than relying only on old tried and tested methods.
education should be a 'national institution for the formation of Character' (Robert Owen) - i am a progressive/evolutionary communist and as such believe that altruism can be taught to people through education; aspects of our current nature can be removed, such as greed, overcompetativeness, desire for unrequited material aquisition (consumerism) and other negative qualities that cause the world great problems. the issue that this could be seen as 'brainwashing' is one i recognise, but its not like we don't do this already through the current education system (encouraging competativeness, greed, etc), and i believe (for once) the end justifies the means.
phew....

Death Penalty:
dead against (hahaha). nobody has the authority to decide who should live and who should die - another reason i'm a pacifist too

The UN: Bullshit.
Israel/Palestine: Not informed enough to have a position.

The UN: One Grand Farce, utterly useless, it hasn't prevented a single conflict since it's existance. We were fools to establish it and we're fools to stay in it. Though the general ideal of it is good.
Israel/Palestine: After having 6 million of their people executed by Nazis, the Israelis deserve a countr, but so do the Palestinians. An agreement needs to be reached.
Arms Trade: Stop alls arms trade with the Third and Second World countries. Only trade between First World Countries. Stop putting advanced technology in the hands of civil waring nations.
Drugs: Keep them illegal. Stop trying to pretend let we're making a different. Burn the farms and poison the ground they were on, keep them from growing it again.

17-05-2005, 10:26

(thought this was just about our NS nations' political beliefs, untill I noticed all the RL stuff)

Nation Name: The Democratic Republic of Diamond Realms
Political Party Affiliation: Socialist & Communist.
Religion: None.
Abortion: Pro-choice (up to 16 weeks, otherwise pro-life, or depending on the health of the foetus).
Gun Control: Only the military, some police, and licensed hunters need guns (though eventually, we should need less and less of all those).
Gay Marriage: For.
Euthanasia: For.
Affirmative Action: Not quite sure what this is, but I think making discriminating laws (focused on specific groups), doesn't prevent discrimination.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
President Bush/American Policies: Mortal Enemies.
War in Iraq: Against.
War on Terror: More war = More terror.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Should go by popular vote.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I'm not one, but I have respect for those who are. I don't think we need to avoid meat overall, but we should avoid mistreating the animals.
Environmentalism: We need to research and rely much more on non-polluting and renewable energy sources, than what we do today (eventually with fusion energy, any unatural polluting should be made illegal).
Immigration Policies: Much less restrictions than what we have today (Norway), but not fully open, at least not in the world of today.
Social Security: For.
The UN: Would've been better without the USA in it (since they only think it's useful when the UN agrees with themselves).
Israel/Palestine: Neither is right in their doings, but as the occupant and starter of the conflict, Israel has the most responsibility. They should withdraw from the occupied territories immediately.
Arms Trade: Against.
Drugs: In general, only for medical use.

Eurocountry

17-05-2005, 10:39

Calculatious

17-05-2005, 15:18

Nation Name: The Ultra Capitalist Nation of Calculatious
Political Party Affiliation: Libertarian
Religion: Methodist
Abortion: Pro-choice (Prevention is better)

Electoral College in USA Elections: Against
Veganism/Vegetarianism: If you want to live like this. I like meat.
Environmentalism: Socialist plot to destroy capitalism. Capitalism is the way to clean air. In fact, the environment has been getting cleaner because of technology. God bless progress
Drugs: Legalize. People own thier bodies they can put whatever they wish in them.
Social Security: Stop. Give the money paid back to the people in the form of bonds and take the hit for the liability now rather than later.
Income Tax: Eliminate it on individuals and business. Go to a consumption based tax. Sales tax or an import tax. In the import tax system, you can get tax free if you become an American business. Maybe a percent of the business. The fee is a one time tax per year to be able to sell in the states. It is kind of like a fee that a mall would charge.
Education: Eliminate federal involvement. Give total control to the state, communities, and individuals. Encourage private schools. Seperate school and state!
Healthcare: Recognize the free market is best. Mandate catastrophic insurance. Deregulate health delivery. One of the major cost of healthcare is the worker. Open up traditional services of phycisians to advanced practice nurses and pharmacists. Recognize that the costs of drugs are cheap in comparision to the standard of living that drugs provide. Privatize the FDA. Encourage NGO's like the USP and UL to test the safety of drugs. Open up drug company research to the public and other scientists for review, not manufacturing.

UN: Eliminate. Don't need more bureaucracy.

Military: Eliminate bases in foreign countries. Review military budget for spending cuts. Stop nation building wars like Iraq. Fight only when our country has a direct threat. Don't tread!

Eminent Domain: Ownership is a tenant of a free society. Governments don't have a right to take property to increase tax revenue or any other task.

Utility/Energy: Deregulate. Allow business to develop or build whatever is necessary to provide a good product. Example: The number and compacity of oil refineries is no business of the government.

Public Land: Unconstitutional. Sell all land not necessary for national security.

Balanced Budget: Make a balanced budget a constitutional amendment.
FCC: Eliminate. Free speech shall not be limited. If you don't like the TV or radio, throw them out.

Pornography: Do you get the free speech thing? As long as the acts are between consenting adults.

Prositution: Legalize. Allow for clean cat houses. Give full economic ownership to the prostitute.

All Private Industry would be regulated, with workers rights valued over profit.

I see two major problems with this thread. First of all, you left out the most important question that people should answer. Namely, Economic Model (capitalist, socialist, communist, etc).
I'm only one person. I couldn't think of all of the possible questions. That's why I asked for feedback.

The other problem is that you are asking for player beliefs but excessively tying them to nation names by asking for complete title. What if I dont play my nation according to my own beliefs (in fact, I do not)?
Would you prefer me to ask for their real names, rather than their nation names?

Euroslavia

17-05-2005, 16:43

Just another reminder to all that this is a thread in General, and has nothing to do with the RP'ing aspect of the game. This is your RL beliefs, not your NS nation beliefs.

Euroslavia

17-05-2005, 16:50

One more reminder to please stick with the format that I suggested in the first post, or just look at everyone elses. It's a pain to have to completely edit a post that looks nothing like it.

Eutrusca

17-05-2005, 16:55

I figure as well as a player profile, we can go a little more in depth and get to know each players' political stances on some of the debateable issues here in General.

State your full nation's name, and then answer each of the issues with what you believe.

New Categories
Immigration Policies
Social Security
The UN
Israel/Palestine
Arms Trade
Drugs
Economic System

You may now post your beliefs in this thread. Feel free to suggest new categories, as well as checking back for any new ones that I've added. If you don't give me your full nation name, I will not add you to the list, until you do.

Political Party Affiliation: Independent
Religion: Science-based Universalism
Abortion: Personally opposed but see no other viable option than to allow
Gun Control: Opposed, most definitely

Evolution or Creation?: Evolution ( although there is no essential conflict here! )
President Bush/American Policies: Favor some, oppose others
War in Iraq: For ... period!
War on Terror: For ... period!
Electoral College in USA Elections: For. Helps prevent tryanny by majority rule.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Whatever makes people happy
Environmentalism: For. ( should be a no-brainer! )

The UN: DOA
Israel/Palestine: Grab them both by the sruff of the neck and shake them until they agree to settle!
Arms Trade: As a practical matter cannot be easily controlled.
Drugs: Violently opposed! ( Consider total impact, not just what you want right now! )
Economic System: Regulated Capitalism is the only workable system of which we know just now.

Happy now? :D

President Bush/American Policies: Assassinations in order/Vehemently loathe

That one is edited on the front page. No need to threaten the President...

Very happy. Thanks. :)

Completely updated.

Texpunditistan

17-05-2005, 17:50

Edited to include the additional information.

The Armed Republic of Texpunditistan
Political Party Affiliation: Republican (Republican Liberty Caucus - http://www.rlc.org/)
Religion: Non-denominational Protestant Christian
Abortion: Personally against, but I believe it's a state's rights issue. Let the individual states decide.
Gun Control: Strongly Against
Gay Marriage: Against (though, I have no problem with civil unions) - Also a state's rights issue.
Euthanasia: Against (Again, let the states decide for themselves.)
Affirmative Action: Strongly Against
Evolution or Creation?: Either/Or. Evolution should not be taught as fact. Neither should creationism.
President Bush/American Policies: I'm not happy with some of Bush's decisions, but he definitely could do worse.
War in Iraq: While I do not believe that we should abandon Iraq, the government there needs a little "tough love". They have to be willing to fight for their own freedom...not just our troops fighting for it.
War on Terror: Needs to be more practical and less political.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Strongly For (but change to disallow EC members voting against the popular vote of their state).
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Leave it up to the individual. Don't expect me to stop eating meat, though. (Humans are natural omnivores.)
Environmentalism: People and businesses need to be more aware of the damage they cause and do their best to minimize it, but the evnironmentalist "chicken little" types need to get a grip.
Social Security: Allow citizens to opt for private accounts if they wish. Allow others to stay with the current system if they wish. But, to mandate no choice in social security is unconsitutional. (Look at Chile and Galveston, TX -- the results speak for themselves.)
Immigration Policies: Build a fence. Use National Guard/military reserve troops to patrol borders as help to the Border Patrol. Deport illegals. Reform immigration procedures. Enforce existing immigration laws. Economic/trade sanctions against countries that promote illegal immigration into the US.
The UN: The UN has far outlived its usefulness. Withdraw the US from the UN. Remove the UN from the US mainland (preferably, move it to Europe or the Middle East). Start a "Coalition of the Willing" (voluntary organization along the lines of the group of countries that, along with the US, did most of the "heavy lifting" during tsunami relief efforts).
Israel/Palestine: Pro-Israel. If the Palestinians wanted a state, they should have took the UN's offer like Israel did. Why should Israel have to give up land to create a Palestinian state when the state of Israel currently takes up less than 1% of the Middle Eastern landmass?
Arms Trade: For arms trade, in general. Against arms trade with dictatorships and countries that sponsor or turn a blind eye towards terrorism originating within their borders.
Drugs: Personally, vehemently against. But I think stupid people should have the right to OD and clean up the gene pool on their own if they wish.
Economic System: Free Market Capitalism (with some/few restrictions)
Philosophy: Mostly "live and let live/Golden Rule".
Prostitution: Decriminalize (Also a state's rights issue.)
FCC: Abolish all federal regulations on media. Allow the market to decide.
Income Tax: Abolish all forms of compulsory income taxation. Go to a flat sales tax system. (http://www.fairtax.org/)
Education: Privatized or voucher system (home schooling acceptable as well). Must follow basic education standards (the "three Rs"). Compulsory through grade 12.

Political Party Affiliation: One of the Many
Religion: none - agnostic
Abortion: strongly pro-choice

Affirmative Action: sceptical (seems a very US issue)
Evolution or Creation?: evolution
President Bush/American Policies/Blair/Labour: bad, bad, bad, not so good
War in Iraq: against
War on Terror: either utterly foolish or a devious facade, I'm unsure
Electoral College in USA Elections: no opinion - would support moves towards proportional representation in the UK
Veganism/Vegetarianism: vegans - unnecessary if agriculture appropriately reformed; vegetarians - I respect their views, but simply don't feel sufficiently moved to become one myself
Environmentalism: very concerned, for mainly anthropocentric reasons (the Earth will recover)
Immigration Policies: refugees and asylum seekers are being scapegoated in the most appalling fashion in the UK - open the borders, we won't survive as a fortress, plus Scotland desperately needs a population boost
Social Security: needs reform in the UK, unsure how though
The UN: US behaviour towards the UN is a disgrace; however, the institution does need to be reformed
EU: massive reform required, I oppose the current constitution
Israel/Palestine: don't see any solution, sympathies on the whole incline slightly towards the Palestinians
Arms Trade: I'd like to see the UK end its participation in the trade of all but essential security services and completely halt trade of arms with governments that have a track record of violating human rights
Drugs: fully legalise - think of all the education and health services that tax money could fund
Economic System: innate suspicion of any ideological extreme; different countries need different systems

Prostitution: legalise
FCC: we don't have this in the UK

The Armed Republic of Grosseburg
Political Party Affiliation: Republican
Religion: Against. It's just a bunch of myths people are too stupid to see through
Abortion: For. Who are you to tell someone what they can't do to their body?
Gun Control: Against. Let people do what they want, so long as it doesn't infringe on my rights.
Gay Marriage: For. Everyone, regardless of sexual orientationm, should be allowed to marry, and then 6 months later be divorced and lose half of their stuff.
Euthanasia: For. People have the right to choose what they do to themselves if it doesn't infringr on someone else's rights.
Affirmative Action: Against. People should be allowed to succeed and fail based solely on their own merits.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution. When all evidence point to one thing, and you choose the other, you deserve euthanasia
President Bush/American Policies: Look, no one realizes that this choice is better. Just because the economy did well under Clinton (thanks to Reagan and Bush) doesn't mean that democrats are the better choice. In fact, welfare hurts the economy
War in Iraq: For. So, your logic is that one American soldier's life is not worth the freedom of thousands of Iraqis? So, who's racist now?
War on Terror: For.
Electoral College in USA Elections: For. As sad as it sounds, the majority is still too stupid to vote properly. Silly liberal, the people that vote for you are the stupid impoverished who like having their hand held like they're a five year old forever!
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Against. Meat contains essential complex proteins, vitamins, and minerals that you don't get from pure veggies.
Environmentalism: For, but only to a point. It's important to plan out the future, but burning down houses being built next to a mountain preserve is silly.
Social Security: Against. I don't want the government to hold my hand like I'm five for the rest of my life. I'm mature enough to look after myself.
Immigration Policies: We should enforce the minimum-wage for both citizens and non-citizens so companies have no motivation for hiring illegal immigrants and, without jobs, they have no motivation to come here.
The UN: Against. International Law is a joke, especially when it's unenforceable. Also, how altruistic is an organization whose own leader's son steals from the Oil for Food fund?
Israel/Palestine: I support a free Israel.
Arms Trade: I don't think we should be shipping arms to other countries for many reasons, the least of which being security.
Drugs: If you want to screw up your own body, go ahead. Personally, I'll stick to the legal drugs (caffeine, nicotine, alcohol)
Economic System: Almost completely Free Market. The only restrictions should be anti-trust and copyright legislation. Silly commies, controlled economies don't work! Look at the differences in GDP! Haa haa haa, gross misconceptions!
Philosophy: When you die, you're dead, so make of this life what you can, because it's the only one you'll get.
Prostitution: Legal and regulated, though I'd never use it.
FCC: Against. Censorship in any form (aside from provable national security issues) is wrong.

Social Security: I'm against privatlization of it, but it does need serious reform.
The UN: Biggest joke humanity has played on it self since the days when people believe Communism would actually work. It hasn't stopped a single armed conflict.
Israel/Palestine: I support Israel.
Arms Trade: Stop putitng weapons into the hands of corrupt governments and dictatorships around the world.
Economic System: Capitilism with Anti-Trust Laws to ensure Monopolies don't form.

Prostitution: Keep it outlawed.
FCC: Somethings are best left off the TV.
Income Tax: For, but so long as it doesn't surprass the 35% mark.
Education: Good as it is, but it lags due to the occasional kid, whos parents don't care how he/she acts, dragging everyone down and putting the class behidn schedule.
Death Penalty: Against. "THOU SHALL NOT KILL"..."VENEGNCE IS MINE SAITH THE LORD"

War in Iraq: Although I feel we went to war for the wrong reasons, I am glad to see Hussein deposed.
War on Terror: Won't work.
Electoral College in USA Elections: I don't like it very much.

Immigration Policies: I don't know much about the issue, but the way I see it, let 'em in.
Social Security: It needs a great deal of reform, but not privatization.
The UN: A good idea, but too tangled up in scandals and bureaucracy at the moment. The corruption should be cut from it. Then you come to the whole problem with international law...
Israel/Palestine: I suppose Palestine has a claim to the land. But I'm also sympathetic towards Israel. And both sides are committing atrocities in their squabbling. I don't know how this situation should be worked out.
Arms Trade: I know nothing about it.

Economic System: At the moment, unsure. I'm somewhere in the left.
Philosophy: Beats me.

Philosophy: Take over the world, spread prosperity and justice, eliminate stupidity, institute a common language.
Prostitution: Legalize.
FCC: There should be a Curse Word Counter, Sex Scene Counter, and violence rating on the opening sequence of a program so you know exactly what is coming on. No regulation though.
Income Tax: The rich should pay all the taxes. No tax for poor or middle class.
Education: Mandatory until 12, high school would end at 16. College would be by admission basis. If you get a single F you would be permanently expelled because you are either too stupid or lazy to ever succeed.
Death Penalty: OK, but should be much more painful if the crime was very serious (if mass murder or torture involved in the crime).

The Armed Republic of the Serene Death
Abortion: legal
Affirmative Action: Preferential treatment, shouldn't be allowed
Arms Trade: Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. ~ Dwight David Eisenhower

Veganism/Vegetarianism: the practice of only killing and devouring living things that can't scream or fight back and feeling morally superior because of it
War in Iraq: A pre-emptive war in 'defense' of freedom would surely destroy freedom, because one simply cannot engage in barbarous action without becoming a barbarian, because one cannot defend human values by calculated and unprovoked violence without doing mortal damage to the values one is trying to defend. — J. William Fulbright

Deleuze

18-05-2005, 04:50

Additions for Deleuze:
Arms Trade - needs to be regulated heavily.
Drugs - Neutral. Leaning toward legalization but it's not all that important.

Economic System - Regulated capitalism. Private industry is good, but should be prevented from abusing people or accumulating wealth at the expense of others' survival.
Philosophy - Despite the namesake, it doesn't adhere to Continentalist positions (despite the interest). Rather, we're rule utilitarians - when taking an action, we need to examine the example set by the action. If it discards a useful rule, it should not be taken. (For example - while stealing a iPod may be expedient, it violates the greater rule that stealing is wrong. The rule that stealing is wrong is good. Therefore, don't steal the iPod).
Prostitution - legalized, then regulated by the government to prevent the spread of AIDS and the abuse of prostitutes.
FCC - keep your dirty moralistic hands off of my mass communication!
Income Tax - don't tax those who can't afford to pay it. Tax the rich to the point where there's still an incentive to become rich but the government can still pay to keep everyone above the poverty line.
Education - should be available to everyone.
Death Penalty - should only be used in cases where DNA testing proves the conviction.

My (personal, non-IC) political views on selected issues

Abortion: I'm pro-choice, a woman's body is her own business
Affirmative Action: Against race-based systems
Arms Trade: Don't know much, but probably against it.
Death Penalty: Against.
Drugs: Legalize them and tax the hell out of them
Economic System: Socialist on some things, limited capitalist on others
Education: Public Education all the way.
Electoral College in USA Elections: It's stupid. But we'll never get rid of it.
Environmentalism: I'm an enviromentalist above all else. This is the most important issue to me. Save the Earth.
Euthanasia: No opinion, inclined to say one has a right to die
Evolution or Creation?: Creationism isn't science, and has no proof outside the bible [rolls eyes]. Evolution is obvious.
FCC: Should relax on the morality enforcement, but be more strict as far as regulating corporations.
Gay Marriage: Of course. And they can get married in my church, too.
Gun Control: Not a big issue to me.
Immigration Policies: I'm anti-immigration because of the enviromental impact of too many people. My state can't hold many more people without an enviromental catastrophe. If there was a way to do it, I'd restrict immigration from other states, too.
Income Tax: It should be restored to post WWII levels (which means that the super-rich should pay more).
Israel/Palestine: They've both done horrible things to each other.
Philosophy: I take ideas from philosophy that I like, and discard those I don't. My basic view is that a person should be allowed to do anything that harms no one but themselves.
Political Party Affiliation: Registered Democrat, but I thought about registering as a Communist.
President Bush/American Policies: I deeply love America, which is why I hate Bush with a passion. He and his cohorts are running this country into the ground.
Prostitution: Should be legalized and heavily regulated.
Religion: I'm a Unitarian Universalist, but I agree with the Jeffersonian "wall of separation" between church and state.
Social Security: Should not be privatized.
The UN: Should be reformed, moved from New York back to San Francisco (where it started) and given some teeth.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I admire people who adhere to it, but I could never give up meat, let alone dairy.
War in Iraq: Was based on bullshit.
War on Terror: Good reason for it, but it's being conducted incorrectly.

Death to all Fanatics

The Not-So-Secret Cell of Death to all Fanatics
Abortion: Woman's Choice
Affirmative Action: Stick a fork in it, it's done

Death Penalty: Meh.
Drugs: Prohibition didn't work then, doesn't work now. Legalize.
Economic System: Capitalizt. Screw the poor.
Education: No free lunch. Pay up, suckers.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Pointless. Can it.
Environmentalism: As long as it doesn't cost too much.
Euthanasia: Not the state's call.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
Gay Marriage: It's a civil rights issue, not religious. Legalize.
Gun Control: Who cares. Keep 'em.
Human Rights: No such thing. If the State can take them away, they're privileges, not rights.
Immigration Policies: Limited
Income Tax: It's legal and relatively fair
Israel/Palestine: Oh grow up, both of ya.
Philosophy: Intellectual tailchasing. Pick one from a hat for all the good it'll do you.
Political Party Affiliation: Independent / Libertarian (if they weren't so damn toothless)
President Bush: Could have been a harmless zealot, now a dangerous one.
Project for the New American Century (PNAC): Wolfowitz / Cheney are Teh Devil! Worst thing for America since Prohibition.
Prostitution: It's not my body. Go ahead if you want to
Religion: Relaxed agnostic. Zealotry is for the weakminded.
Social Security: Send in a priest for last rites.
The UN: a neutered poodle that thinks it's a pit bull. IGNORE'D
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Silly. Humans are omnivores.
War in Iraq: Totally unjustified, but it's nice Saddam is gone.
War on Terror: An excuse to remove inconvenient "rights". A poor excuse.

Australus

22-05-2005, 06:39

Abortion:
Against, except in cases of rape. My idea of pro-choice is you have the choice to not engage in irresponsible behaviour.

Affirmative Action:
I support the spirit of it, but I think an equal and excellent education system is better than any legislated equal treatment.

Arms Trade:
Get rid of it.

Death Penalty:
Opposed.

Drugs:
Legalise and tax the hell out of it.

Economic System:
Free market with strict regulation on ethical practises, anti-monopoly.

Education:
State education with federally madated curricular base standards, high teacher salaries. Private education with limited vouchers for those who want it.

Electoral College in USA Elections:
Not a bad idea. It could use some tweaking to even out the absurd power given to small states.

Environmentalism:
Very much pro-environment.

Euthanasia:
Only at the request of the patient.

Evolution or Creation?:
Evolution.

FCC:
Must have limited powers. Our media needs to be as open as possible.

Gay Marriage:
Support.

Gun Control:
Course completion, licensing, registration.

Immigration Policies:
Heavily reduced and heavily regulated.

Income Tax:
Low, but with high luxury taxes.

Israel/Palestine:
Two-state solution, neutral Jerusalem.

Philosophy:
There should be as much personal freedom as possible. People must be responsible for making their own decisions with their body and their personal lives.

Political Party Affiliation:
Independent/Unaffiliated.

President Bush/American Policies:
Attempting to blur the lines of the seperation of powers.

Prostitution:
Legalise and tax the hell out of it.

Religion:
Episcopal/Anglican.

Social Security:
Needs reform.

The UN:
Move it back to San Francisco and reform it from the bottom up. High accountability and transparency at all levels of the organisation.

Veganism/Vegetarianism: Vegetarian.

War in Iraq:
Opposed the war due to limited WMD evidence. Had there been clear, REAL evidence of WMD, and an intent to sell or use them, I might have supported it.

War on Terror:
I support it, but I think the way it's being run is a sham and an executive power grab.

Prostitution:
Legal within certain zones, strict regulation & policing, free facilities should be available for prostitutes such as medical help & advice, safehouses, general advice. remove the criminal element

FCC:
no clue. not american

Income Tax:
should be progressive. agree with Rawls' work on the Veil of Ignorance - the skills, parents, disabilities, and talents we are born with, and the environment and country we are born into are not decided by us but by complete chance. the only fair or just system is one which counteracts these chance differences and makes sure nobody can benefit at the expense of another just because of a chance talent (within reason, a meritocracy is still desirable); convesley nobody looses out because of their chance disabilites. there should thus be redistribution from the wealthy to the poor through progressive tax systems.
ultimatley i believe in communism; "from each according to his ability to each according to his need"

Education:
of primary importance. its not economic growth that makes our lives better, necessarily, but education. increasing the intelligence and education of a nation should be any government's main aim. education sould be free for all people, and of higher quality than it is today. there is a definate role for new information technology in the education process, rather than relying only on old tried and tested methods.
education should be a 'national institution for the formation of Character' (Robert Owen) - i am a progressive/evolutionary communist and as such believe that altruism can be taught to people through education; aspects of our current nature can be removed, such as greed, overcompetativeness, desire for unrequited material aquisition (consumerism) and other negative qualities that cause the world great problems. the issue that this could be seen as 'brainwashing' is one i recognise, but its not like we don't do this already through the current education system (encouraging competativeness, greed, etc), and i believe (for once) the end justifies the means.
phew....

Death Penalty:
dead against (hahaha). nobody has the authority to decide who should live and who should die - another reason i'm a pacifist too

Affirmative Action: Don't really like it. I think we can do better.
Arms Trade: Ummm...I guess just be careful who you sell to.
Death Penalty: I hate it. If anyone innocent dies, it has failed.
Drugs: Legalizing drugs would make things so much easier. I don't take drugs, but our law enforcement agents have more important things to do.
Economic System: The government should run the essentials and leave everything else to the people; however, the government should keep tabs on business.
Education: Free and equal across the board no matter how much we have to pay for it.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Too problematic. We need something better.
Environmentalism: All for it, but not at PETA fanatic level.
Euthanasia: For it, if the disease can't be cured.

FCC: Don't much care for it.
Gay Marriage: For it, that is, if the government has to recognize marriages at all.
Gun Control: Don't like guns, so I favor gun control.
Immigration Policies: Open immigration, but make them get their papers.
Income Tax: Progressive and steep but fair. And sic watchdogs on the government to make sure they don't screw around with it.
Israel/Palestine: Get sane people in there to accept reasonable solutions.
Philosophy: Don't much like philosophy classes, so not sure how I should answer.
Political Party Affiliation: U.S. Democrat.

Prostitution: Legalize but partake at your own risk.
Religion: Keep it out of government, first and foremost.

Veganism/Vegetarianism: Whatever floats your boat, just don't force it on me.
War in Iraq: I always opposed it simply because the fundies could easily take over.

Syawla

25-05-2005, 10:57

The Revolutionary State of Syawla (Sean's my name):

Immigration Policies - Tolerant towards all legal migrants and genuine asylum seekers.
Social Security - Low social safety net to protect and serve the needy without disrupting the free-flowing of the economy.
The UN - Out of date, west protecting talking shop.
Israel/Palestine - World interference is the problem... not the solution!
Arms Trade - If we don't sell them weapons... others will... at least we can spend the money we make wisely on Third World development
Drugs - Increased education. Monitored legalisation of drug production by private business to make drugs as safe as possible.
Economic System - Fair Trade... and a Eurozone
Philosophy - Anarcho-capitalist atheist
Prostitution - Monitored legalisation
FCC - Explain?
Income Tax - High margin, countered by removal of all stealth taxes.
Education - For all... sponsored by the government.
Death Penalty - Opposed as I am opposed to abortion for non-medical reasons.

Falhaar

25-05-2005, 11:12

The People's Republic of Falhaar
Abortion: Support the morning-after pill. Otherwise, should only take place in extreme circumstances, such as rape, incest and when the foetus directly threatens the life of the mother. In all other cases, adoption should be the answer.
Affirmative Action: Against, it's stupid.
Arms Trade: Tough decision. I'll just say I'm indifferent to it. There should also be restrictions on what can be made (eg, Biological and Chemical Weapons are cruel and unnecessary). I'd personally like it if there was more money invested into non-lethal military equipment, like stun bombs.
Death Penalty: Against. I can't stand hypocrisy.
Drugs: Certain drugs should start to become legalised in the next five years. Unlikely to happen though.
Economic System: I'm an Anarcho-Socialist, but I'll favour regulated free-market capitalism for the moment.
Education: Vitally important, should be available to all. Up to and including tertiary education.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Couldn't care less, I'm not American. Pure democracy is unhealthy anyway.
Environmentalism: The environment is unbelievably important, seeing as we constitute part of it and are still heavily reliant on many aspects of it for our survival. It would be counter-productive and counter-intuitive to simply ignore environmental issues for purposes of profit.
Euthanasia: Should be legal but only done when the person is of sound mind. Should also, in most cases, be self-administered.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution. Creation is not a science, it's a blind ideology.
FCC: An evil, but in some cases needed.
Gay Marriage: Why the hell not? Who cares?
Gun Control: People don't need miniguns and rocket launchers. Weapons are incredibly dangerous. But I'll favour the purchase of small arms if it has been conducted under rigorous regulation.
Immigration Policies: Refugees should be admitted into society, but perhaps be put on a form of temporary probation. They can live in the country, but must work at certain government-allocated jobs. This would not only help to relieve the current labour crises but would make people who arrive here directly useful and assist with the intergration and partial assimilation into the culture of the nation in question.
Income Tax: Should be reasonable and relative to the services which are provided by the government in return. Also, the reason that the wealthy pay heavy taxes is because they can afford to, taxing poor people who have barely any money is both cruel and doesn't make economic sense anyway.
Israel/Palestine: Both sides are equally at fault. Palestine needs to have it's own independent, democratic state.
Philosophy: I'm largely an existentialist humanist in the Satre sense of the term, but I have the occasional leaning to determinism.
Political Party Affiliation: Nobody represents the anarchists. :(
President Bush/American Policies: He's a moron. Plain and simple. It is staggering to me how anybody could vote for such a chump. Granted, the other options weren't very good either, but come on. You don't want a borderline retard in charge of the most powerful nation on Earth. I find myself in frequent disagreement with his foreign policies. With regards to his domestic, I don't really pay attention. It's not any concern of mine, just as it shouldn't be yours if it's my country's domestic policies. (Unless human rights are being directly violated)
Prostitution: Well I'd rather people didn't do it, but if it's an optional thing and isn't just the result of somebody who's a drug-addled victim press ganged into "service", then I can't really complain. It's not my business how people live their lives as long as it doesn't hurt others.
Religion: An Agnostic Humanist. I sometimes find myself cursing or thanking "something", but I'm not presumptuous enough to give it a name and call it my own.
Social Security: Important, but if we're talking America, I think you guys should really pay attention to Medicare first.
The UN: A toothless tiger that doesn't have the balls to lay blame on equal sides of the fence and can't back up it's sentiments with anything. In dire need of a complete overhaul.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Do what you like. But I will still devour the flesh of cute little animals with no regrets.
War in Iraq: The reasons for going in were wholly stupid and if the U.S. government and their allies had actually put some effort into explaining legitimately WHY they were targeting this country over North Korea as well as worked at seperating it from the War on Terror more clearly, there wouldn't have been half the international outcry.
War on Terror: Important, of course. I'd like to see more done on the War on Poverty personally.

Bolivarian Wales

25-05-2005, 11:33

The People's Republic of Bolivarian Wales
Abortion: Personal Choice, if you want a baby it's not an issue, if you don't choose yourself. (see http://www.vhemt.org/biobreed.htm#abortion)
Affirmative Action: What about Representative Affirmative Action
Arms Trade: It is not guns and weapons that kill people, it is greed that kills people. (Think about the people who manufacture the weapons knowing their uses.)
Death Penalty: Killing People is generally dumb, is it not much better to hit a rock than a person?
Drugs: Surely, if people were satisfied with life (I mean happy not rich enough) then this need would dissapate.
Economic System: Planned on a Local Scale. Localised Behaviour spreads. (Devolved power)
Education: Should be free and Universal, focusing on group work and shared knowledge.
Environmentalism: Again, is this not but a case of self protectionism, if it screws up then...or in other words, if we destroy or harm the biosphere, we are in essence committing suicide.
Euthanasia: This is a personal choice.
Evolution or Creation?: As an Agnostic living in the now, i'd say a bit of both.
Gay Marriage: a personal choice
Gun Control: Shouldn't it more be a case of fear control? If people were not afraid of other people with guns then this wouldn't be an issue.
Immigration Policies: See philosophy rule number 2, the effect is immigration., if we stop screwing up the world then...
Income Tax: Highy progressive income taxes initially until a wage cap could be put in place.
Israel/Palestine: Treat others as you yourself expect to be treated...
Philosophy: 1. Other people suck sometimes 2. Address the causes and not just the effects.
Political Party Affiliation: none
President Bush/American Policies: See Israel/Palestine
Religion: This is in the personal realm, an individual choice, personally i consider myself to be an Agnostic living in the Now. (that is myself as a part of the whole)
Social Security: This is an important part of any society, a strong social security system supports the population, it doesn't make them lazy or unmotivated.
The UN: A reformed representative UN where the countries with the right of Veto are removed, simple representative votes are made. UN representatives should be elected nationally by the population and instantly revokable, so that the UN would become more representative of the peoples of the world and not just their ruling political elite.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: In simple terms of transfer of energy it is far more optimal and therefore efficient to consume non-animal products as sources of our nutrition, in other terms why do we consider ourselves to be intrinsically worth more than other organisms? All beings ARE.
War in Iraq: There was no war in Iraq until it was plunged into a bitter revolt against it's occuppiers. This isn't the first time that the vulture has descended upon a far from dead prey.
War on Terror: terrorism - "The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons." from -(http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=terrorism)
Several countries need to take an outside-in approach. It's easy to bypass things when you only look outward and don't self reflect.

Aeruillin

25-05-2005, 11:58

(note: These are OOC views posted in an OOC forum. Of course I reserve the right for my nation to have differing policies in a roleplay).

The Neutral Republic of Aeruillin
Abortion:
Pro-choice, for any reason, up to the fourth month, or alternatively whenever an embryo could theoretically survive outside the mother without intensive medical care.

Affirmative Action:
As I haven't seen it in practice, no comment. I know the arguments of both sides, and I'm unable to verify them.

Arms Trade:
Dangerous. Should be closely observed and regulated by the United Nations. Nuclear weapons in particular.

Death Penalty:
Against. Strongly against. The state, at most, has the right to detain an individual for the safety of others, but not to end his/her life.

Drugs:
You can't really have a view on "drugs" in general. They should be restricted from trade, and the countries where they are grown must be given solid alternatives to keep their economy stabilized, allowing the drug production to be abolished. At the same time, consumers must be given access to free rehabilitation programs, as well as legal access to certified drugs by prescription for any drugs with possibly fatal withdrawal syndromes. Anything else leads to poverty and organized crime.

Economic System:
Very weird question. I tend towards the communist end of the scale if that's what you mean, though that is more in a utopian way.

Education:

Education is good.

Vague, nondescript questions deserve vague, nondescript answers. ;)

Other than that, yes, important. Should be free, extensively funded, and kept free of ideology and indoctrination.

Electoral College in USA Elections:

A flawed, undemocratic system. I am amazed at the way it has survived so far, and I can only theorize it is a remnant from a time of lower technology/communication levels, when it was impossible to organize a Union-wide popular election.

Environmentalism:

Frankly, with the recent natural disasters, I don't see the point in adding more risks by polluting our planet. An environmental policy based on the precept that the apocalypse is coming anyway in around twenty years ("after us the deluge"), and there's no need to watch out for our future is dangerously foolish. So yes, I'm in favor of excessively gutting the economy in favor of the environment.

Euthanasia:
A very sensitive subject. I don't have solid views on it, and my usual viewpoint, pro-choice, is induced here only because the same people attacking abortion are the ones also attacking euthanasia. I feel forced to adopt the same views on both topics, which is not necessarily so.

Evolution or Creation?:
Evolution. Creationism can be taught in fiction class or in mythology, but not in any serious subject categorized as a Science. Schools should be independently monitored to ensure that they do not teach their students this nonsense.

FCC:

What does FCC stand for?

Gay Marriage:

Why the hell not?

Edit: I assert hereby that I posted this before reading Falhaar's reply above. :p

Gun Control:

Vital for a functioning society. An unarmed populace is a peaceful populace, and ultimately, five people mutilating each other with salad forks will come out of it in better shape than five people shooting each other full of lead. Guns should be licensed on a national level, with the owner being tested for responsibility and technical ability. License should be revokable at any time.

Immigration Policies:

Of what country? Freedom to immigrate and emigrate is a vital part of allowing a nation to progress, just like freedom of speech. The less restrictions are placed on it, the better.

Income Tax:

A necessity. If anything, they should be far higher for the wealthy. I won't trust a politician who speaks of a decrease in taxes, because politicians are rich, and the resulting tax cut will accordingly be in favor of the rich.

Israel/Palestine:

Israel is murdering Palestinians, and Palestinians are murdering Israelis. All for a few square kilometers of what is ultimately a dry, infertile land filled with rubble and soaked in blood. Trench warfare anyone?

The United States need to stop putting its bulk behind Israel. When two children fight, you don't see their big uncle taking sides, giving one of them candy and scolding the other. In terms of economic power and population size, Israel and Palestine are mites compared to the US, or at least should be in the case of Israel's military power.

When the sides are equally strong, they will arrive at a peace agreement far sooner, because then neither side will feel wronged.

Philosophy:

Philosophy is interesting. See education (above).

Political Party Affiliation:

None. Where I live, voter registrations don't include party affiliation, and there is no such thing as an official affiliation apart from actual party members, which I am not. To illustrate the point: I voted CDU (Christian Democratic Union) for our local election, which is centre-right, but would likely have voted SPD (Social Democrat) if I were old enough in the last federal elections. It's the issues.

President Bush/American Policies:

Three words: Nationalism running havoc.

Been there, done that. Not with nukes, though, unlike now - that's pretty much my reason for fretting. Other than that, any change, while the United States have not yet declared war on the majority of its neighbours and thus become a solid threat to world peace, will have to come from inside. Like it should have in Iraq.

Prostitution:

See drugs. Prohibition will lead to organized crime as always. Legal, certified and registered practice of this profession is the only way to avoid a black market.

Religion:

I'd advocate freedom of religion, within the boundary of the nation's law. As long as it is not mixed with the state in any way (and I mean any), it is not harmful. Democracy, not Theocracy. Under the People, not under "god".

Social Security:

Important to preserve civilization and prevent a general downslide into poverty, starvation and crime.

The UN:

A lone voice of sanity, ignored for too long and too often. Needs more power, especially over its members, and especially the United States.

Also needs more equality among members, sans veto privileges.

Veganism/Vegetarianism:

Really see no need for a view here. Responsible and humane ("humane" in a non-cynical sense) treatment of animals is important.

Veganism, however, to underage children especially in the growth and development phases, has been proven to be harmful, dangerous and even lethal, and parents injuring their children in this way should be subject to charges of maltreatment and abuse.

War in Iraq:

A crime against humanity, and easily the greatest catastrophe of our young century so far. Also the greatest account of human stupidity.

War on Terror:

See above, especially "stupidity". Follow this reasoning:

1. Replace "Terror" with the dictionary definition (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Terror).
"War on extreme or intense fear."

2. Recognize it is nonsense. Replace terror with "terrorism". We'll allow this much leeway in incorrect terminology to someone who also can't pronounce "nuclear" or form a complete sentence.
"War on Terrorism"

(incidentally, both the FBI and the CIA have "War on Terrorism" on their sites, but the President - and in fact most of the press - speaks of a "War on Terror", which is why I am perfectly justified in the "nukyular" jibe).

3. Replace "Terrorism" with dictionary definition (the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion) (Wikipedia didn't have it). Do the same with war.
"A state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations, one of them being the systematic use of extreme or intense fear especially as a means of coercion."

4. Recognize "war" is hostility between two entities.
5. Recognize "systematic use" of anything is not an entity.

6. Recognize that the entire term is crap, and to reflect reality the word "terrorism" must be replaced with an explicit national entity like "Iraq", "Afghanistan" or "Iran", these countries being the ones targeted most strongly by the US under this cover phrase.

"War on Middle-Eastern Countries With Predominantly Muslim Population"

7. Realize that in this form, the concept is a repugnant, racist and nationalist one, and has no place in international policy, or in fact in the policy of any organization that can be taken more seriously than the KKK. Quod erat demonstrandum.

---

I'd have been briefer, but this is after all the last point, and I wanted it to end in a bang.

Battery Charger

25-05-2005, 12:12

The Confederacy of Battery Charger
Abortion: I oppose abortion, but don't necessarily think it should be banned. It's very complicated.
Affirmative Action: I very strongly oppose state mandated racism.
Arms Trade: That's a complicated issue.
Death Penalty: I support it for major violent crimes, especially for 2nd and 3rd offenses.
Drugs: I oppose virtually all drug control.
Economic System: Free market capitalism.
Education: I opposed tax-funded education.
Electoral College in USA Elections: The only thing that could be worse than the electoral college would be direct Presidential elections.
Environmentalism: I oppose polluters, litter-bugs, and enviromentalists.
Euthanasia: Suicide should be legal, but Euthanasia is only accpetable if the dying one has definately shown intent to die.
Evolution or Creation?: False dichotomy.
FCC: It should be fired, or at least constrained to enforcing treaties and protecting radio property rights where the broadcasts actually cross state lines. There should definately be no control over content or restrictions on consumer products.
Gay Marriage: The state should allow legal unions of same sex couples.
Gun Control: Virtually all federal gun control laws are unconstitutional and should be abolished. Most gun control laws are wholly illegitimate.
Immigration Policies: If the government cannot control it's own borders it's not a legitimate government.
Income Tax: Bad. Very bad.
Israel/Palestine: Israel is a police state, and the US should stop sending it money.
Philosophy: Classical liberalism / (right-wing) libertarianism / Austrian Economics (It's not exactly philosophy, but it's very much responsible for my general positions).
Political Party Affiliation: I am a registered member of the Libertarian Party, but that doesn't define my positions.
President Bush/American Policies: Bush is a bonehead, but he's not the first. It's sad that his approval rating is a 2-digit percentage. There are many policies of the US government that disgust me.
Prostitution: It should be legal.
Religion: I consider myself a christian, but many christians would disagree with that assessment. My spiritual beliefs are complicated and largely fuzzy.
Social Security: Social security is a ponzi scheme and should be phased out beginning ASAP. I don't appreciate how Reagan 'saved' it or how Bush intends to.
The UN: The US should not be part of it, and many of it's members deserve to hang.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Eat whatever the hell you want.
War in Iraq: I opposed it before it began, and I oppose it now. The US should withdraw from that place.
War on Terror: Total nonsense. You can't fight a war against an abstract concept and expect to win.

Aeruillin

25-05-2005, 12:24

Short note: Religion, Philosophy, Economic System and Political Party Affiliation are all pretty ambigious points.

The other points are all "views about this". There is, after all, no denomination of "War on Terror" or "Abortion". That is why the appropriate answer to "Religion" would appear to be what you think about religion, not what your religion is. (Ignore any barbs about people with religious beliefs not thinking about them at all. :p )

Uginin

26-05-2005, 00:59

The Green Civil Republic of Uginin
Abortion: Pro-life, but I don't want to enforce that on other people. Abortion is a personal matter.
Affirmative Action: I'm undecided on this.
Arms Trade: Against
Death Penalty: For it. Actually it's because I feel that life in prison is more cruel than death and that people should have a choice between death and consecutive life sentences.
Drugs: Legalize marijuana and all plant inhalant drugs. Keep heroin, acid and cocaine and the like illegal.
Economic System: Capitolism
Education: Schools should be paid for and run by the county or city they are in. Not the state nor the federal government. Colleges should be paid by the fed gov. though partially.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Keep it.
Environmentalism: Good in moderation. People in Greenpeace and such go too far.
Euthanasia: For it.
Evolution or Creation?: I believe a mixture of both. Teach both in schools, but don't favoritize one over the other.
FCC: Get rid of it. Violates the 1st amendment.
Gay Marriage: I favor having the federal gov. make all marriage licenses into partnership licenses, and having only churches do marriage. That way, the religious people would stop having it be a political thing.
Gun Control: Against most gun control.
Immigration Policies: Don't have an opinion.
Income Tax: It's illegal. Supports national sales tax of 51%

The Armed Confederate Rpublic of Dark Kanatia

Abortion: ??? I'm not sure. Used to be completely pro-life, but now I'm against late-term or partial births for sure. As for other abortions I'm still researching.

Affirmative Action: Against. People should be rewarded by merit, hard work, and ability.

Arms Trade: Trade arms to allies, free countries, those who have been attacked without justification, and rebels against oppressive, despotic governments. Do not trade arms with oppressive regimes, countries engaged in civil war where neither side is trying to establish a free regime, or to any group practicing genocide or mass murder.

Death Penalty: Neither for nor against. I believe corporal punishment and long jail terms of hard work would be more effective. But in emergency situations it might be necessary.

Drugs: Let all adults that are of sound mind buy whatever kind of drugs they want. It's their life.

Economic System: Social Capialist. I believe strongly in the free market, but in the areas of food, water, shelter, clothing, health care, and education there should be well-run public-private partnership social programs in place to help those who are down on their luck. (See education for example).
Education: The education system is a free market supplied by private enterprise (except in areas where there is not enough people for free market education to work properly). Each child is given a government credit of how much basic schooling costs and goes to the school of his/her (or his/her parents) choice. Upon admission to the school this credit is given to the school by the government.

Electoral College in USA Elections: Doesn't affect me, I'm Canadian. But anyway, seems sort of stupid. Just add the votes up whoever gets more wins.

Environmentalism: Enviromentalists overstate and exagerate their case. We should protect the enviroment where harm to it will injure humanity through localized laws against specific destructive acts.

Euthanasia: Iffy on this. If a person has a terminal illness with an extremely low probability of recovering, they can have a euthanasia if the following steps are taken. They sign a declaraion of intent to die, which is witnessed by their doctor and 2 kin. Then a week later they do this again (so as to avoid euthanasia's due to a momentary depression). The doctor then gives them a suicide pill which they have to put in their mouth and ingest themselves. Everybody should be able to end their own life but I'm very worried about the large potential for abuse.

Evolution or Creation?: I don't care. I'm a Christian, but both seem to have large holes and flaws. If God made us through evolution, well, the Bible does use imagery at times. If he made exactly as the Bible says then ok.

FCC: I'm assuming this is similar to the CRTC in Canada. It should be confined solely to assigning radio and airwave frequencies so as to prevent different ssources from using the same frequencies.

Gay Marriage: None of the government's business. Marriage is a private contract. The government, at the very most, should ask about marital status at tax time for tax purposes only.

Gun Control: Against any gun control beyond a five day waiting period and a background check to prevent criminals.

Immigration Policies: If they're willing to work let them in.

Income Tax: Should be a flat rate, but the first $10000 made every year should be tax free.

Israel/Palestine: Palestine needs new leadership that is willing to crack down on terrorists. Until Palestine has that Israel has the right to take measures to protect it's citizens. Israel should build the wall and withdraw from Palestine.

Philosophy: Political philosophy is libertarian in civil issues, social capitalist in economic issues, decentralized republican (not to be confused with the Republican party) in political issues, and neo-conservative in international affairs (support freedom abroad through trade and diplomacy, and, if nothing else works, war as a last resort).

Political Party Affiliation: None, all the Canadian parties suck. Usually vote Conservative and help the Conservatives because they're the least evil.

President Bush/American Policies: I like that he wants to reinstitute the space program. I like that he has beliefs and he sticks by them, because I'm getting sick of idiots who's beliefs are little more than what is popular. His hearts in the right place but he doesn't pull it off right.

Prostitution: Unsure.

Religion: Protestant Christian.

Social Security: Public-private partnership to get the choice and effeciency of private sector, but the inclusiveness of a government program.

The UN: I like that there is a place where nations and cultures can come together and interact. I dislike the extreme amount of corruption, apathy, inefficiency, and inability the UN consistently displays. I also worry about a future where too much power becomes concentrated in too few hands via the UN.

Veganism/Vegetarianism: Stupid. Animals are here for us to eat. If they could they'd eat us. It's the natural way of life to eat meat, so butcher the pig and fry some bacon.

War in Iraq: Saddam need to be ousted. He was butchering and oppressing those it was his job to protect on a massive scale and had to be removed. It could have been fought better and less costly. As well, who cares about WMDs, if you're going to invade him tell us it's because Saddam's an evil person who murders his own people.

War on Terror: A War on Terror can't be won because Terror is a concept not an entity that can be destroyed. That being said we should hunt down the terrorists like the child-murdering scum they are and hang them up for all the world to see. Put the fear of the wrath of the just into them.

Layarteb

The Empire of Layarteb
Abortion: Against except in the case of rape, death to mother/child, or mental retardation.
Affirmative Action: Against.
Arms Trade: Pro, but only to approved nations.
Death Penalty: Pro, for the crimes of rape, murder, treason, or crimes against children.
Drugs: Against.
Economic System: Capitalist but corporations are not above the law.
Education: Pro, the children are the future but education should reflect actual grades, none of this "Well Ds are Bs without a belt" crap.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Pro, the American people are obviously, after 2000, too stupid to push the right buttons.
Environmentalism: We shouldn't trash the environment but at the same time trees are not more important than people and the Earth is a self-sustaining entity.
Euthanasia: Pro, for terminal illness or mental retardation.
Evolution or Creation?: I couldn't possibly hazard a guess as to which is correct.
FCC: Apathetic.
Gay Marriage: Against. It defies nature.
Gun Control: Gun control is hitting your target.
Immigration Policies: Allowing a set number of legal individuals I am not against as long as the number is low, perhaps under 250,000. Illegals must be sent back.
Income Tax: It should be a flat-tax.
Israel/Palestine: Tit-for-tat. Neither side is right, neither side is wrong. I do side with the Israelis though.
Philosophy: Philosophy is important but philosophy must be proven through the use of history. Everything comes from political science, as does philosophy, so the truth is in history.
Political Party Affiliation: Though I am conservative I am a registered Republican.
President Bush/American Policies: Bush is a moron. I did vote for him though because it boiled down to this. "I know what I am getting with Bush; I don't know what I am getting with Kerry."
Prostitution: Against.
Religion: I am agnostic but to the point where I would take a stand against/for religion, I would not. I would however, tax them.
Social Security: Against.
The UN: Against. They violate sovereignty and are utterly useless.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Every time I see a vegan or a vegetarian I want to kill a cow and eat a piece of steak in front of them and make sure it's medium-rare.
War in Iraq: I'm for it though I think we ought to hit them differently. I am not entirely fond though of going for it before we caught Osama.
War on Terror: How do you fight terrorism? You need to fight on so many fronts, in so many countries. Terrorism is a threat though and whilst thinking you will stomp it out is foolhearty, it should not be allowed to run around without check.

26-05-2005, 06:13

Philosophy: Shut up and quit worrying.
Political Party Affiliation: Republican
President Bush/American Policies: He is not half as bad as made out to be. They are not half as bad as made out to be.

The Corporation of Kwangistar
Abortion: Generally against except in very early cases ("The pill") or when the mother is endangered.
Affirmative Action: Against.
Arms Trade: Depends on the target nation, but otherwise for.
Death Penalty: For in exteme cases.
Drugs: Against "hard" drugs (cocaine, heroin, etc.), adults can use the "soft" drugs, but abuse/misuse means probation and, depending on the case, some amount of jail time.
Economic System: Capitalism, but not as unrestricted as to have the unemployed dying.
Education: More teacher accountability, free compuslory education through high school, with equivalency programs for dropouts.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Ideally a better system would be put in place, practically keep it there.
Environmentalism: The needs and demands of people need to be balanced with the environment. If forests are destroyed, they should be replaced with other trees elsewhere. If an operation can occur in a preserve without too much disturbance, it should happen.
Euthanasia: If there's a living will.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution
FCC: Companies should regulate themselves.
Gay Marriage: Civil unions with the same benifits. People (not courts) should decide.
Gun Control: You don't need an AK-47 to defend yourself. Otherwise fine.
Immigration Policies: Let them come in, give amnesty to current illegals.
Income Tax: Lower it, but cut corporate taxes first.
Israel/Palestine: Palestine should have a state, Israel should be secure. Israel gets to do what it wishes with the Golan Heights, but Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem go to Palestine.
Philosophy: Let people do what they want, within reasonable limits. Corporations are made up of people.
Political Party Affiliation: Republican
President Bush/American Policies: Not perfect but workable.

Religion: Personally a Catholic. Not total, but near total freedom of religion. No "cocainists".
Social Security: Uncompulsory. If you really want the government to take a slice, you can let them.

Stupendous Badassness

29-05-2005, 05:51

Affirmative Action: Should be economically and not racially based.
Arms Trade: I like my own arms, thanks.

Drugs: An illusion of control for the weak. And a forfeiture of responsibility for one's own life.
Economic System: Compassionate Capitalism.
Education: Essential to success.
Electoral College in USA Elections: An imperfect and twisted system, but one which has some life left in it
Environmentalism: Important for future generations. But animals aren't as important as people.
Euthanasia: An easy way out for those around the afflicted - it's hard to believe that a person would actually want to die, all other pressures aside. Again, presumption to Godhood.
Evolution or Creation?: Intelligent design baby! God sets the mechanisms, God can circumvent them too!

Gay Marriage: Oxymoronic.

Zethistania

29-05-2005, 18:06

The Holy Republic of Zethistania
Abortion- Pro-life except in case of rape, incest, or a physical medical threat to the woman
Affirmative Action- Should aid poor households who have hard-working students, not anyone of a specific race
Arms Trade- Very few to aliberal third-world nations, none to genocidal forces
Death Penalty- Should be available with life imprisonment, is much less gruesome than life imprisonment and there is little chance of effective rehabilitation in the situation regardless
Economic System- Pro-growth, anti-bureaucrat capitalism
Education- No special interest union/bureaucratic activism. Should be open to competition and everyone should be able to have a per capita voucher so that they can choose which school they go to, i.e. privatized
Electoral colleges- Help to weaken central federal government and give representation to rural folk, keep it
Environmentalism- Certain avenues should be explored if it would increase productivity, i.e. renewable resources. From my knowledge it largely isn't so. More nuclear power, it's a good, clean, affordable resource. Global warming is a myth and lots of environmentalism is anti-growth propaganda. I'm a conservationist, not a preservationist.
Euthanasia- Only in cases of extreme areas where the physical body is just being kept alive and cannot function for itself at all otherwise
Evolution- Both
FCC- We shouldn't allow Nickelodeon (kid's channel) to show hard-core XXX
porno at 3:00 PM, but there should not be heavy censorship- there needs to be more responsibility for parents, not government.
Gay marriage- The state legislatures should decide if they are going to have homosexual civil unions. No government, judges especially, should force religions to have sanctified homosexual marriages.
Gun Control- Necessary as a way to have people protect themselves from criminals
Immigration Policies- Legal immigration, where a willing worker who will learn English if he stays for an extended period of time wants to immigrate, should be allowed. Otherwise, no
Income Tax- Just a way for government fat cats to fleece people and take bribes from special interests to change the massive contradictory rulebook in special interest favor. It's a drain on the economy in work time and it takes up good accountants who could be doing better work elsewhere. Replace it with a sales tax with rebate so as to have a progressive, non-bureaucratic system.
Israel/Palestine- A while ago I would have said Israel, but now that they're cooperating now I'm for a secure Israel and a democratic Palestine.
Political Affiliation- Republican
Bush- Support
Prostitution- Against
Religion- Religion is an important part of any nation's history and to exclude it is foolish. It should not be proselytized but it should not be forcefully removed either. It can help people if presented in a moderated fashion.
Social Security- There should be privately-owned accounts safe from the hands of politicians. The Social Security Tax does not put anything in any kind of account, it just takes money from people for pretty much anything the govt. wants. When you get old enough, the government just gives you money. A privately owned account would be from someone's own work and he would be guaranteed his savings.
The UN- Against. It's the king of corrupt bureaucracy and must end or be greatly reformed.
Veganism/Vegetarianism- Science has shown that plants can feel pain, and they also live. No matter what people eat something had to suffer/die first. Besides, meat has valuable nutrients in it that are good for you.
War in Iraq- For. A great deal has been accomplished there, and I don't think it was about oil. Why are gas prices so high if it really was?
War on Terror- For

Ariddia

The PDSR of Ariddia
Abortion: Pro-Choice

Immigration Policies: Allow all asylum seekers, skilled/needed workers, and increase the number of others allowed.
Income Tax: The more fair tax, the better. People should stop looking upon tax as robbery.
Philosophy: Anarchy would be the ideal form of society, but is unattainable due to human selfishness. Antispecism. Don't do to others what you wouldn't want them to do to you, and don't condemn on "moral" grounds something that harms no-one.
Political Party Affiliation: NS General parties: founder of the United Democratic Communist Party and the Cult of TInk Party. RL: I vote for the Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire.
President Bush/American Policies: Despicable.
Prostitution: Should be legal, with policies to protect the health of prostitutes.
Religion: Atheist. I respect people's religious beliefs, as long as they themselves are tolerant.
Social Security: A strong Social Security should be a priority.
The UN: A fundamentally good idea, which needs some reworking.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Vegetarian (and antispecist), for ethical reasons.

War on Terror: Hypocrites leading the wilfully blind.

Veganism/Vegetarianism: Whackjobs? Seriously, eat what you want - it leaves more meat for me.
War in Iraq: Not sure we should be there. Support our troops though and hear from them that what we are doing is good. But at a high price.
War on Terror: Support, but don't like Patriot Act (what a crock of a name!). I want a war on terrorists without giving up significant and important freedoms.

Israel/Palestine: Israel will have peace after it evicts all Palestinians from the West Bank
Philosophy: Socially conservative, economically indifferent. Monarchy is the way of the future.
Political Party Affiliation: Conservative/Republican
President Bush/American Policies: Go kick some ass, Dubya
Prostitution: Strengthen laws against. See "Death Penalty" above (j/k!)
Religion: Traditionalist Catholic, but others will be tolerated
Social Security: Scrap it
The UN: Ignore it and stop paying membership dues

Praetonia

30-05-2005, 10:15

The Democratic Imperium of Praetonia
Abortion: Generally Against where the child can be put up for adoption.
Affirmative Action: Against.
Arms Trade: In favour, so long as it is regulated.
Death Penalty: Against in all cases, except for espionage in war.
Drugs: Against, although I would rather the police would focus on the dealers rather than the users, and I generally support rehabilitation over incarceration.
Economic System: Regulated free-market.
Education: Errr... in favour? I think the end purpose of education should be to teach people useful skills, rather than just teach them to pass exams.
Electoral College in USA Elections: I have no real interest in how foreigners choose to govern themselves.
Environmentalism: I'm in favour of sustainable development, moving dependancy from fossil fuels and the development of nuclear power, but all moves towards a more sustainable economy should not be made to the overall determent of the British economy.
Euthanasia: In favour, so long as it can be proved the person involved wants to be killed.
Evolution or Creation?: Although I can't say for definate that either is correct or incorrect, the theory of evolution has evidential backing, whereas creationism does not. On balance of probabilities, evolutionism is more likely to be correct.
FCC: What is this...?
Gay Marriage: In favour of civil marriage for gay couples, but I wouldn't attempt to force the Christian church to facilitate gay marriage against its will.
Gun Control: In favour.
Immigration Policies: In favour, so long as they will contribute to the British economy. Asylum is different to immigration, and should be welcomed.
Income Tax: Banded system, as Britain currently has.
Israel/Palestine: Both are as bad as each other. I haven't had much respect for Israel since I found out how many British nationals they'd shot, but nor do I have much respect for suicide bombers. I think the new Palestinian Prime Minister is the best chance for peace the region has had in a while.
Philosophy: Socially libertarian, economically capitalist.
Political Party Affiliation: None.
President Bush/American Policies: Well, Im against Christian Fundamanetalism, restriction of civil liberties and major governments which refuse to recognise that global warming exists. He's a good President from a Nationalistic American standpoint, but I think that the times in which we live call for somewhat more than that.
Prostitution: Against, but it's going to happen anyway so I'd be in favour of regulated legalisation.
Religion: Agnostic / possibly Christian Protestant.
Social Security: In favour, but only where absolutely necessary.
The UN: In favour, since Britain has a veto. Otherwise no.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I don't understand these people at all, but it's their choice.
War in Iraq: In favour.
War on Terror: I dont think that 'wars on terror' work, as was shown in Northern Ireland. Im in favour of finding terrorists / attempted terrorists and bring them to justice, but not at the expense of civil liberties. To be blunt, I dont believe that the liberties that millions have died for in both international and civil wars aroung the world should be destroyed for a possibly illussiory chance to save the lives of a few thousand.

The Constitutional Monarchy of the_ United_Kingdom
Abortion: illegal, except to save the life of the mother

Drugs: hang dealers. give users rehab twice, third time, hang them too.

Euthanasia: pre-meditated murder
Evolution or Creation?: creation, in one way or another
FCC: I am British, but in favour of setting standards - but wary that liberals would abuse power to sensor for political ends
Gay Marriage: :fluffle: contradiction in terms. undermines marriage by confirming that society things marriage is just a legal contract to decide property.
Gun Control: erodes liberty, is wrong and counter-productive. :sniper:
Immigration Policies: does benefit the economy, but too much immigration undermines our culture. furthermore, the brain-drain cripples the 3rd world. how do we expect 3rd world to progress when we are taking their best and brightest, drs and nurses and engineers etc???
Income Tax: lower taxes in general. move to flat tax, so everybody pays the same rate - so the rich can not avoid paying their share.
Israel/Palestine: Kahanist

The Roundabout Zoo

31-05-2005, 16:01

The Democratic Republic of The Roundabout Zoo
Abortion: Pro-choice in all circumstances
Affirmative Action: For in principle, against in practice
Arms Trade: A necessary evil in today's world
Death Penalty: Against
Drugs: Legalise and tax cannabis (regulated Amsterdam-style cafes), end persecution of personal drug users, but crack down on supply chains and gang conflicts associated with drugs
Education: Free and compulsory primary and secondary education to the age of 16 (free until 18). Small standard fees for domestic university students
Electoral College in USA Elections: Needs reform, IMO to a system of proportional representation (PR) on a state-by-state basis
Environmentalism: Greater research needed into sustainable energy, heavy regulation for big business in terms of environmental policy and severe financial action to those who flout the rules
Euthanasia: Yes, for anyone who is able to make, or has previously made, a 'living will'
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution
FCC: The overzealous arm of the religious right in US media. And the right-wing talks of the "liberal bias in the media"! Should be eliminated to preserve free speech
Gay Marriage: Yes, it's time to wake up to the 21st century
Gun Control: No-one outside the military should possess a firearm for any other purpose than legal hunting and game shooting (no Mr Heston, that doesn't include M-16s)
Immigration Policies: In the UK, first priority must be to make people aware of the difference between "asylum seekers" and economic migrants
Income Tax: Graduated scale, the rich pay a higher proportion and the poor pay less.
Israel/Palestine: Support for a Palestinian state
Philosophy: People should be able to do what they like so long as it does not infringe the freedoms of other people, persecution of minorities (not just ethnic) is wrong and has no place in modern civilised society
Political Party Affiliation: None, although voted Liberal Democrat in the 2005 UK election
President Bush/American Policies: A single-issue president who used 9/11 to push through his policies because of course, to vote against him would be "un-American". American foreign policy is too brutish, too "us vs them".
Prostitution: Should be legalised and unionised to ensure clean sexual health in brothels, but care should be taken to prevent minors from exposure.
Religion: Agnostic, I follow my own moral code and if there is a God I'll let him judge me on that when the time comes.
Social Security: A good thing, but needs reform in the US (and UK). Nationalised healthcare is the way forward in all countries, it should be a basic right of all world citizens.
The UN: Not as effective as it could be, but whilst reform is on the table, without support from the US (which simply ignores the UN if it doesn't fit in with their agenda) nothing much is going to change.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Personally I love meat, but if people don't want to eat meat or meat products than great for them!
War in Iraq: Against. I wonder if the real motives for invasion will ever be admitted (ie. not the disproved WMD or Al-Qa'eda links)
War on Terror: A nice idea in principle, but manipulated to the Bush administration and their backers' own ends. If they wanted to catch bin Laden and end the main battle they could have done it already.

Education: Should be left to the states
Electoral College in USA Elections: Support
Environmentalism: I believe in moderate environmentalism, such as recycling, not leaving water running, picking up litter, etc. Today's pantheistic radicalism has got to go, though
Euthanasia: No opinion, should be left up to states

FCC: No idea what that is
Gay Marriage: Should be left up to the states; I personally have no opinion; who people get under the sheets with is their business, not mine

Immigration Policies: I believe we should limit the number of immigrants who can enter the country each year and strengthen border security
Income Tax: Oppose 100%
Israel/Palestine: Neutral; while we're at it, we should just pull out of the Middle East and let them work it out themselves
Philosophy: Militant anti-communist
Political Party Affiliation:
President Bush/American Policies: Hate Bush, oppose the government's policies; his domestic policy is pro-big government (I believe "that government is best which governs least") and his foreign policy is far too internationalistic (I'd prefer we withdrew from all entangling alliances, returned our troops, etc.)
Prostitution: Should be left for the states to decide
Religion: Christian, Protestant (no specific branch)
Social Security: Oppose vehemently; get rid of it!
The UN: Hate it, nothing but a hotbed of corruption and communism, plus they are a threat to world peace (Katanga, anyone?)

Arms Trade: A trade like any other internationally. Handguns though is a different matter.
Death Penalty: Never justified.
Drugs: Legalise them and have the Government impose regulations.
Economic System: Reformed Social Market Economy.
Education: Should be free for everyone. There should be quotes for some tertiary courses though,so that only very smart people make it.
Electoral College in USA Elections: A strange invention. No longer necessary, undemocratic and yet defended by the distributors of democracy.
Environmentalism: We clearly need environmental protection, if for nothing else, for economic reasons.
Euthanasia: If I want to end my life so be it. If I can't do it myself then let the doctor handle it.

The UN: The only body on this planet that has any right to act past its own borders. Also the only body that can legally declare war. Attacks against it are attacks against the freedom and equality of humankind.

War in Iraq: They made a fine mess there, didn't they! Totally ridiculous, enough to hang its' architects for planning and conducting a war of aggression, it helped no one but a few rich Iraqi Exiles and in a few years the US leaves a ruin of a state claiming "mission accomplished!"

Economic System: Free market with lots of anti anti-competitive and legal regulations/restrictions to keep Micro$oft well away.

Affirmative Action: Yes.
Arms Trade: I am not sure I care.
Death Penalty: Yes, for extreme crimes.
Drugs: I'm anti-drugs; they personally disgust me. However, I sto;; think all hard drugs should be legalized. It should be a one's choice what they do with their own body.
Economic System: I don't like what already exists of our economic system but don't really see how it could really be improved.
Education: Free educations should be available to all children which includes subjects such as Language, Mathematics, Science, and perhaps Social Studies. Also electives including Foreign Languages, Music, Art, Drama, Home Ec., and the like should be available and encouraged but not nessecarily required. If religious holidays are celebrated within a school than the school must be sensitive to ALL relgious holidays. Literature should include some classics but many more modern works, and required reading should be nonexistant. It is my belief that it should be the school's number one goal to teach, and number two goal to make learning fun and interesting.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Against.
Environmentalism: I support enviormentalists and find their views honorable but unrealistic.
Euthanasia: Undoubtably for.
Evolution or Creation?: I believe that Evolution makes more logical sense but may not nessecarily be the "correct" theory.
FCC: I don't like 'em.
Gay Marriage: Very, very, for. In fact, I am also pro-pet/human marriage.
Gun Control: I don't like guns but the concept of "gun control" seems a bit, well, naive to me.
Immigration Policies: I don't think there should be any.
Income Tax: The rich should have devasting taxes and the poor should have almost none.
Israel/Palestine: Once again, I find myself not caring.
Philosophy: One of my favorite subjects.
Political Party Affiliation: None.
President Bush/American Policies: Don't like Bush, don't like America.
Prostitution: Should totally be legalized.
Religion: Not a part of any organized religion but do have some spirtual beliefs. I also recoginze that other religious/spirtual beliefs may be "true" and mine may be "false". Overall, somewhere between Theism and Agnosticism.
Social Security: Against.
The UN: Don't care.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Pro-veganism and pro-vegetarianism but am not personally either of the two.
War in Iraq: Idiotic, but don't really care.
War on Terror: See "War in Iraq".

Abortion: Pro-life except in cases of rape and when it could harm the mother. If you don't want to deal with the consequences, don't have sex.
Affirmative Action: Against. Reverse racism is all it is.
Arms Trade: Meh. Can't decide either way.
Death Penalty: Against for the most part, except in extreme cases
Drugs: Legalize/ relax laws on Marijuana. It causes less damage (for the most part) than Alcohol. All serious drugs should be illegal.
Economic System: Regulated Capitalism is the only system proven to work.

Electoral College in USA Elections: A good thing.
Environmentalism: Support it, but think we need to know more about the causes of environmental problems.
Euthanasia: Against.
Evolution or Creation?: Jury's still out for me. Evolution could be true, only if influenced by a metaphysical agent.

Gay Marriage: Against, but the states should decide. I support their rights, though.
Gun Control: Against.
Immigration Policies: Too lax on the southern border. If you want to come here, you've gotta go through the process just like everyone else.
Income Tax: Too high. On everyone. I work for every penny, I should be able to keep my hard-earned money, and spend it as I please.
Israel/Palestine: Nuetral/ Lean pro-isreal.
Philosophy: Christian for the most part. I'm very pacifist, and dislike confrontation in general. I'm a very forgiving person. I like to live by the golden rule.
Political Party Affiliation: None right now, seeing as I can't vote :p But when I do, most likely Republican.
President Bush/American Policies: He's decent. Some policies I like, some I dislike, but I like him as a person.
Prostitution: I don't see a single reason to legalize it. States' decision.
Religion: Christian.
Social Security: I'm for privatization of it.
The UN: A terrible and completely bullshit attempt at trying to make a world government and control sovereign nations.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Don't see the point. You need certain proteins that you get from meat.
War in Iraq: Against violence, but support getting insane dictators out of power.
War on Terror: Been somewhat effective so far (haven't seen another 9/11), but I'd like to see more done about global terrorism.

Abortion: The option must always be there, with a minimum of restriction.
Affirmative Action: Against. I believe in merit.
Arms Trade: In favour, if it serves the national interest.
Death Penalty: Against, as no judicial system is perfect, and thus no judicial system can be trusted with an individual's life.
Drugs: Against, and in favour of tough sentencing.
Economic System: A technocracy. Essentially, I am broadly in favour of the EU's economic policies.
Education: Against interference with established and proven methods, as is happening too often these days.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Meh.
Environmentalism: Put it this way, I would like to see the energy industry, and all national infrastructure projects, exempt from planning regulations where local residents are consulted. I am against environmental destruction, but equally against people blocking national infrastructure on the grounds that it spoils the appearance of the landscape.
Euthanasia: In favour.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution all the way.
FCC: WTF?
Gay Marriage: Undecided.
Gun Control: No private gun ownership. However, would like to see government-run shooting clubs, with weapons stored on premises.
Immigration Policies: As an extension of economic policy, yes. As an extension of humanitarian policy, no.
Income Tax: A good idea, sadly, it has rarely been applied in an egalitarian fashion.
Israel/Palestine: The creation of Israel was a mistake. Should it deny Palestine the right to exist, its own right to exist should be withdrawn. The UN should not heisitate to remove what it has granted.
Philosophy: Existentialist
Political Party Affiliation: Liberal Democrat (UK)
President Bush/American Policies: Counter-productive, even for the US. Bush is seriously undermining American energy security, and with it, national survival.
Prostitution: In favour, if properly regulated by the government and independent agencies.
Religion: Atheist/existentialist, rejecting the question itself as irrelevant.
Social Security: Desirable, though perhaps ultimately unsustainable.
The UN: The only collective conscience the world has left.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Communism. (Joke) Seriously though, I cannot see how it can be healthy.
War in Iraq: I would have preferred to see a deal made with the previous regime, relaxing sanctions in exchange for oil contracts.
War on Terror: A distraction in order to justify any future military adventures arising as a consequence of the West's energy policies.

Lascivious Optimus

12-06-2005, 07:27

The People's Republic of Lascivious Maximus
Abortion: Pro-choice, with mandatory counsel and situationally dependant law.
Affirmative Action: Distinctly against, in all forms of so-called 'equal opportunity' and 'Affirmative Action' philosopy, there exists too many fundamental flaws for the ideals to actually accomplish that which they are intended for. In place of any such system, and as a direct substitution for funding, more attention should be paid to education - such that we can solve this seemingly self perpetuating problem at its source.
Arms Trade: Very strictly controlled, as well as situationally dependant with efforts to promote eventual disarmament.
Death Penalty: In most cases, I am opposed - but looking at the lives of some falsely incarcerated and placing myself in their positions, such as David Milgard, I am inclined to think that I would rather have been dead. Morally, socially and politically, I insist that the principles behind the death penalty are morbidly ridiculous, and I am happy to live in a country without this extreme form of so called 'justice'.
Drugs: Legalized and strictly regulated - with obvious forms of more lethal drugs being more tightly contained for medicinal or scientific purposes only.
Economic System: Sometimes, when greed in the world has reared its ugly head in catastrophic ways, I think we'd be better off still living in loin-cloths. I don't think there is a 'best of' in this category, not due to problems inherent with the systems, but to to problems inherent with man.
Education: More funding should be placed on re-instilling pride in the educational system, and on promoting long term goals for youth. More time should be spent on social politics and behavioural science during the developmental stages, and less weight given to finnacial and traditionally 'competetive' scholastic success.
Electoral College in USA Elections: No opinion at present.
Environmentalism: I favour an increased amount of discipline regarding social and national responsibilty pertaining to environmentalism. There should be a more defined international body governing these issues, and appropriate action taken against those breaking said international policy. There would have to be at least some degree of situational differentiation between developing and established nations, with a strong emphasis towards educating and helping improve the environmental aspects of industry within nations currently dependant on antiquated and porentially harmful technology.
Euthanasia: For, again however, situationally dependant.
Evolution or Creation?: Existentiallism. I love sitting on the fence.
FCC: In most cases, I have to say that I am for the FCC - though I beleive that there needs to be a redefined structure if they are to properly govern international media.
Gay Marriage: For. At least as far as legal marriage. No religion should have to change under government order - they have to do that on their own.
Gun Control: For, though the models of gun control seen so far in Canada, the UK, and Australia are overkill - and the laws in the states appear to be ridiculously underkill. Automatic weapons, and weapons meant to kill other people in tactical situations should be kept from the public and very tightly managed by authority.
Immigration Policies: More background screening, and less availability of aid upon entering the country (of course thats within Canada). The money that goes to bureaucracy in these cases would be better allocated towards foreign aid and education to mitigate the source of problems drawing in immigrants from poorer countries and bad situations. A properly defined work system should be put in place, deciding a certain period of mandatory labour in exchange for certain provisions.
Income Tax: The standard poverty level should be increased. There should be higher taxes for big business and lower taxes for smaller independant labour. Read 'The Grapes of Wrath' - you'll soon understand the problems with corporate support.
Israel/Palestine: Neither side is totally right, neither side is totally wrong. The US should not be involved. There needs to be a solution, and it will only come with education - not military conquest - as has thus far been proven.
Philosophy: Existentiallism. Attention and respect paid to the doctrines of, among others, Nietzsche, Sartre, Kierkegaard, and Camus.
Political Party Affiliation: Left-Centrist - independant.
President Bush/American Policies: Bush is too stupid to have accomplished anything on his own. Im more concerned about the people who helped him gain power, form his opinions for him, and run the country from the strings Bush is tied to. American policy is ridiculously jaded, and needs a complete moral overhaul - though at the cost it will incur I am quite certain that will never happen until (as is inevitable) the empire crumbles under greed and corruption (as all do) and needs to be rebuilt. On that note, Kerry is no better. Do not confuse political policy strictly with the man in charge, its been this way for a very long time. Read: Manifest Destiny.
Prostitution: It is the worlds oldest profession after all. Legalize it, regulate it, educate the people to try and limit the negative aspects of it. It is personal choice to take up this profession.
Religion: Existentiallism, in keeping with my philosophy.
Social Security: For it. Situationally dependant (seems to be a common them for me here), education and reciprocal labour with an interest in reloaction to the work environment should be deeply promoted.
The UN: For it, with a restructuring. The voice of the UN is weakened by its lack of enforcment against nations who feel free to follow suggestion only as it benefits them politically or economically.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Im not either, but I support those who are. Its a personal choice either way - and I have no problem with people eating meat, though I do have a problem with agricultural responsibility and its effects on the environment.
War in Iraq: I oppose the war with great sadness for the losses on both sides. I hope dearly that the men and women serving there make it back alive, and I am proud of them for serving in what I trust they beleive to be a noble cause - whether it is or it is not in fact noble. I do beleive that this war has been waged for reasons that are shamefull, and in poor judgement.
War on Terror: How many casualties will it take? It's not a war, its genocide. The people supportive of this war in the higher levels of politics have not done a good enough job masking their true interests for me to support their obivous corruption. Taking advantage of a nations fear is not an honourable discourse.

Great idea for the thread, Im posting with a puppet - so you know. Its not time for me to come back as Lascivious Maximus just yet. A lot of these questions were difficult to answer, since I dont really stand on with the black or the white side of any issue - but I've tried to be as fair as possible in detailing my beleifs.

Thanks Euro. Good job! :)

Death Penalty: nuetral, i can see how some people would want the death penalty over a life in prison, but it is definateley not necesary in the scales that countries like america do

Economic System: 'Pure' Marxist Communism and Socialism. although there are flaws in communism, its still a whole lot better than capitalism

Electoral College in USA Elections:
Environmentalism: excelent for in all cases. the environment supports us, without it, we wouldnt survive

Gun Control: guns banned for free citizens, strictly controlled for members of the millitary
Immigration Policies: let anyone in, as long as they will activley contribute to the society. refugees accepted

Israel/Palestine: get over it, share the land.
Philosophy: marxist. trancendental idealism, kant's categorical imperitive. supports the tripartite analasys of PK supports correspondance theory of truth. what else... we need to specify what area of philosophy, ecenomic, metaphysics etc.
Political Party Affiliation: something left wing
President Bush/American Policies: why just american policies, why not general political prefrences/policies
Prostitution: legal, but government regulated
Religion: buddhism mostly, but i dont directly affiliate myself with any religion, i believe that theres a bit of truth in anything

Kellarly

12-06-2005, 12:49

The Snowbound Paradise of Kellarly
Abortion: Pro-Choice, first trimester preferably, but don't know enough to know if its ok past that.
Affirmative Action: Merit Merit Merit. Sure people who are clever enough should be given as much help as possible in succeeding, but not at the expense of others just as capable.
Arms Trade: Its a problem thats not going to go away, but doing nothing would be more of a fallacy than trying to tackle it.
Death Penalty: Against.
Drugs: Cannabis legalisation, but others should be cracked down on. Pun intended :D
Economic System: There is no best, i think a capitalist system with aspects of socialism is the best way to go. Just have to get the balance right.
Education: Education should be for all, but there should also be a private sector to allow choice as long as testing is standardised.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Get rid of it.
Environmentalism: This needs tackling soon, how we are going to survive the eventual lack of oil that we need to support us needs to be solved and soon.
Euthanasia: Should be allowed, how it would be implemented I'm not sure.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
FCC: I'm gonna guess this is a US thing...
Gay Marriage: For.
Gun Control: I would like guns (hand guns, and non automatic rifles) to be legal in the UK, but registering should be mandatory, as well as compulsary tests to see whether a prospective owner is capable of the responsibility. As for the US i'll let them sort their own problems with this out :p
Immigration Policies: We need immigration in the UK so for. But how it needs to be organised i am not so sure.
Income Tax: Rich taxed more heavily.
Israel/Palestine: In my opinion they are almost as bad as each other. But like many conflicts its not about the meaning anymore, its simple revenge for revenge in pointless bloodshed. Its one of the greatest tradgedies of our time.
Philosophy: I live, i know i live, when I die I shall be no more. That is what I am. I love, i cry, I breathe, I feel. Do I need anything else apart from the fact I know I exist. No.
Political Party Affiliation: Lib Dems
President Bush/American Policies: Not a great fan by a long way. I don't believe he himself is a bad guy, but I believe its the people behind him who are the main problem.
Prostitution: The Oldest Profession - Will always exist no matter.
Religion: An integral part of the human race, but its both a pain in the arse and a godsend (ahem) at the same time.
Social Security: US thing...
The UN: Necessary, but it needs SERIOUS reform.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Go for it.
War in Iraq: Ok, hes got WMD as far as we know, lets go! *Invades* Er bugger theres non here. Crap. *Thinks* Oh well we have got rid of a prick of a dictator who we installed there in the first place. Given freedom and democracy to the people. Ohhh good. *Thinks more* But what about all the others around the world, half of whom we support...errrrr...who cares, we got oil! But shouldn't we take out the Pres. of Uzbekistan for slaughtering his own civilians? Er...isn't he our friend? B*****ks.

Oh yeah, stop shooting BRITISH TROOPS, they are your ALLIES, aim at the people who shoot at YOU!

War on Terror: A farce, granted after 9/11 the purpurtator needs to be brought to justice, but they way the US are going about it is almost as bad.

9/11 - Short of 3000 people died.

War on Terror - How many more innocents have been killed by both sides? And how many more will continue to be killed by both sides?

Is that justifiable? IMHO no.

Glitziness

12-06-2005, 13:00

The Democratic Land of Glitziness
Abortion: Pro-choice
Affirmative Action: Against because of what it leads to; quotas and people being chosen because of race rather than suitability for the job
Arms Trade: Only for military and police
Death Penalty: Strongly against
Drugs: Legalised with strict control and emphasis on education so people can make an informed choice
Economic System: State welfare, socialism, communism (theoretically, maybe not in reality)
Education: Against grammar schools and private education of any kind. Free education for all. More choice of subjects and wider ranges for students. Less emphasis on control, and more on actual development of individual talents and core skills.
Electoral College in USA Elections:
Environmentalism: Looking after the environment is something everyone should care about because it effects us all and our generations to come. However, when taken too far it defeats the point and hinders rather than helps.
Euthanasia: For under strict control and with the persons consent.
Evolution or Creation?: I lean towards evolution; both are theories and neither are proven but evolution seems much more likely.
FCC:
Gay Marriage: Strongly for though forcing religious groups into allowing it doesn't help all that much.
Gun Control: For
Immigration Policies: Allow as many as can be supported by the country; they must contribute to society and be tolerant of the existing cultrue. They're free to practice what they want and I'm strongly for multiculturalism but that only works with tolerance.
Income Tax: progressive; I'm strongly for wealth distribution and breaking down the wealth division.
Israel/Palestine: I blame the people who unfairly gave other peoples land to the Jews and who stupidly planted the Jews in a country surrounded by Arab and Muslim countries. I don't take either side; I can understand both sides but don't think either are going about it the right way.
Philosophy: No idea. Bit vague really. I'm a situationalist.
Political Party Affiliation: Lib Dems (UK)
President Bush/American Policies: Strongly against in the vast majority of cases
Prostitution: Legalised with strict control and testing.
Religion: Agnostic/Atheist. Don't personally have faith in a God but don't think it's possible to know.
Social Security: For.
The UN: For the principle of it.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Individual choice.
War in Iraq: Against. There was no immediate threat to us and it isn't our job to police the world and kill countless people in the process. Who knows, it might turn out for the best. But at the very least the motives look rather suspicious...
War on Terror: I think people should be looking at the reason western countries are so hated rather than simply feeding the hate.

Deutsch - Rheinland

12-06-2005, 13:25

The Fatherland of Deutsch - Rheinland
Abortion:
Highly depends on the situation. Should be legal if the child cannot be guaranteed a good life or if the mother's life is threatened.
Affirmative Action:
No.
Arms Trade:
Only to military allies with non-dubious political aims.
Death Penalty:
Generally: No! Only exception are terrorists.
Drugs:
Illegal; should be fought by police
Economic System:
Social market economy. Domestic business should have all liberties, as long as employees/consumers are not betrayed or harmed in any way.
Education:
Needs much more funding. More schools, more teachers, smaller classes. Generally, I am pretty happy with Germany's current education system.
Electoral College in USA Elections:
Outdated. Does not truly represent the proportion of the people's will.
Environmentalism:
Good in theory, but I hate eco-warriors and their environmental fanaticism. Those people are much too egocentric and only think of THEIR cause. They do not have the slightest understanding about REALITY!
Euthanasia:
Depends on situation.
Evolution or Creation?:
I believe in evolution. However, when it comes to the question how the big bang started the universe, I start to wonder...
FCC:
As a German, does not concern me. I think it is much too over-zealous, though.
Gay Marriage:
Should be allowed. Everybody should be able to choose his or her spouse without government interference. After all, it's their business. But I oppose gay couples adopting children.
Gun Control:
Guns should be vehemently controlled.
Immigration Policies:
Only a small number of people who are willing to integrate into the domestic society should be allowed to immigrate. Everybody, who concretely refuses, should be deported back to their home country.
Income Tax:
I have nothing against it as long as it does not get too high. Income tax should be based not on personal wealth but on actual income!
Israel/Palestine:
Israel is doing some serious effort to hinder peace talks from ever happening.
Philosophy:
My own, home-brew view on things; with a great deal of realism/rationalism and liberalism. I recognize authority where it is needed, though.
Political Party Affiliation:
I vote for the candidate and his program, not for parties.
President Bush/American Policies:
Maybe I am a bit too direct, but: American policies have come down to a playground for corrupt lobbyists who only pursue their own ideas and do not act for the good of the country. Bush is just another one of those lobbyists.
Prostitution:
Should be illegal. (Ex-)Prostitutes have to be given a second chance.
Religion:
Liberal Catholicism (I know, that's a little paradoxical :D )
Social Security:
A necessary installation in every modern society.
The UN:
Needs some drastic reorganisation. The UN has to become a more centralized body with actual power. Right now, it is unable to put through the values that it claims to believe in. For example, the US should have been sanctioned after neglecting the UN peace process in Iraq und invading it without giving an actual reason. The Security Council is a relic from the Cold War, unsuited to deal with the problems of the modern world, which is shifting more and more towards Africa and Asia. More countries should be allowed to join the Council. The concept of veto powers must be revised.
Veganism/Vegetarianism:
Don't support it. Other people can do it, if they want to. But then they should be fair enough not to persuade others that their way of eating is "better".
War in Iraq:
Not justified. But now that the troops are there, the US armed forces need all the support that they can get if they want to rebuild Iraq as a modern democraitc country.
War on Terror:
I am for it, but the US is taking it way too far (just think of the authoritarian Patriot Act).

Prostitution: Illegal. Too much risk for it's worth.

Social Security: Not good in the long run.
The UN: Corrupt. Needs an overhaul or should be disbanded.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Whatever. If you won't eat meat, then there's more for me. :p
War in Iraq: Has my support.
War on Terror: Has my <i>full</i>support, but we need to focus more on it rather than completely on Iraq.

FCC: I would deregulate the airwaves somewhat and add more public funding

Israel/Palestine: Both - give Palestine the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, let Israel keep the rest, and work for peace between the two
Philosophy: Absurdist existentialism
Political Party Affiliation: I am a member of the Socialist, Communist, and Democratic parties
President Bush/American Policies: Currently? I am firmly against most everything the President does

Social Security: Keep it as it is
The UN: Support them as much as possible
Veganism/Vegetarianism: All power to you, I am currently trying to become vegetarian
War in Iraq: Lies and propaganda abound; not worth the cost, not worth the wanton destruction

Leonstein

10-07-2005, 02:31

The Republic of Leonstein
Abortion: Pro. I'm not alive until I'm born, and so the mother can do whatever she wants until then. It should be funded by the state in order to help her through a different time.
Affirmative Action: Pro. The system isn't fair and affirmative action merely creates a basis of minority workers in higher level jobs - which hopefully makes it easier for coming generations to get in on merit only.
Arms Trade: A good like any other. Watch what happens, but don't get all emotional about it.
Death Penalty: Against. State-sponsored revenge.
Drugs: Make soft drugs legal and sell them through licensed dealers, distribute hard drugs to addicts in special government centres.
Economic System: Reformed Social Market Economy.
Education: Free for everyone, with quotas that allow only the best and hardest-working students in. That'll eliminate the "I can study law only because my parents are rich!"-factor.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Let them do what they want. I think it's antiquated.
Environmentalism: The environment is an important resource. Basic economics suggests you have to take measures to stop it from being used irresponsibly.
Euthanasia: Pro. If I want to die, no one should try to stop me - even moreso if I have some sort of disease.
Evolution or Creation?: Is that a serious question. Evolution, thanks!
FCC: That's an American thing, isn't it? Free Speech to everyone, unless it is false and/or merely a means to create hate. Like flaming on these forums.
Gay Marriage: Pro. Let them do what they want. Marriage is created by humans, and humans can change the definition of it whenever they want.
Gun Control: Pro. I prefer the freedom of not being shot over the freedom to shoot someone.
Immigration Policies: Let them all in, support them with language and culture courses and see the country prosper.
Income Tax: Progressive, although one could do interesting things with sales taxes.
Israel/Palestine: Palestine.
Philosophy: Hmm, Socrates was good, Hume as well and in some things...Marx.
Political Party Affiliation: SPD/Grüne in Germany. Any other social democrats are worth a look as well. US Democrats are way to right for me though.
President Bush/American Policies: They got what they deserved. I just wish they'd leave the rest of the world alone with it.
Prostitution: Legalise it. If you don't want anything to do with it, don't get into it.
Religion: Atheist really. I believe it when I see it, and so far no one has shown me.
Social Security: Pro. A fundamental part of society in my opinion.
The UN: The only body on the planet that can legally declare a war, as well as the future of mankind as a whole.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Let them do what they want. I like Steak!
War in Iraq: Against. Silly idea really, and so many have died because of it.
War on Terror: How do you make war on a concept? There's always been Terror, and when America is in ruins and we only know it from the history books, there'll still be terrorism.

The Great Sixth Reich

The Republican Monocracy of The Great Sixth Reich
Abortion: Strongly against in all cases EXCEPT special circumstances (such as cases in which the mother's health is at risk, sexual assault, and so on).
Affirmative Action: Strongly against. It is racist and needs to be banned.
Arms Trade: A terrific source of money and a good way to protect oneself (or one nation ;)).
Death Penalty: Life in prision is much more of a punishment than just killing someone. Against, but ONLY if sentences are transfered to life in prision.

Economic System: Capitalism with a hint of protectorism.

Philosophy: Cicero.
Political Party Affiliation: Republican (Registered member of the GOP)
President Bush/American Policies: Supports President Bush's ideas.... but I think he's too ignorant to know what he's actually doing, or defend his position.
Prostitution: Should be banned. Studies have proven that over 80% of prostitutes want to escape their lifestyle.
Religion: Needs to be more religions to choose from.
Social Security: Privatize.
The UN: Create a better agency and then replace it.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: No opinion.
War in Iraq: Strongly, strongly, strongly, STRONGLY FOR.

Spaam

10-07-2005, 05:10

The United Territories of Spaam
Abortion: Personally against, but for other people, only in the first trimester, unless it is a medical situation.
Affirmative Action: Huh?
Arms Trade: Against.
Death Penalty: Against.
Drugs: While smoking is allowed, so should certain soft drugs, in your own home. As for selling it, drug dealers should be heavily taxed.
Economic System: Socialist, welfare state, personal property.
Education: Private schools should be allowed and heavily regulated, public ones need to have enough funding to supply a high quality of education.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Against.
Environmentalism: Totally for.
Euthanasia: Against. You want to die, do it yourself. Don't be a coward.
Evolution or Creation?: A little from column A, and a little from column 2. Evolution guided by God.

The Capitalist Vikings

10-07-2005, 06:13

The Noble Lands of The Capitalist Vikings
Abortion: Against. The whole "pro-choice" argument is flawed, and anti-abortion stances should not be considered authoritarian. The right for the unborn to live is vastly more important than the right for the mother to terminate it. Exception being if both lives are in jeopardy and abortion could be considered a life-saving procedure. No government funding.
Affirmative Action Against. Merit, not handouts.
Arms Trade: Only in limited circumstances, and only with close allies under just causes. Vague, huh? Basically arms trade should be prudent and well thought out.
Death Penalty: Against. Even the worst criminals should have time---a lot of time in a life sentence---to ponder their crimes, and maybe become better for it. Besides, the penalty system is flawed, inaccurate, and antiquated. No government funding for rehabilitating criminals however.
Drugs: Current illegal should remain illegal, and efforts to enforce laws, and break up trade should be exerted.
Economic System: Free-market capitalism (not to be confused with lassiez-faire or coporatism). Meaning no tariffs, corporate welfare, no monopolies, trust corps, pooling, etc. Minimal government interference, and only in times of dire need.
Education: Public run and supported up through the collegiate level. Private education should remain private. Education should be available to all so that people can have the tools to better their lives.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Abolish. More harm than good in having it.
Environmentalism: The environment is an asset we should manage carefully, and businesses should be responsible and respectful towards the environment.
Euthanasia: Depends. Active euthanasia (causing some one to die, like giving them an overdose of pills to hasten their (which would not normally come about), I'm opposed to. Passive euthanasia (allowing one to die, such as removing extensive life support that are keeping a person alive) I'm okay with.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
FCC: For, within reason.
Gay Marriage: Against, however should be an issue decided on democratically.
Gun Control: Extensive backround checks and strict, mandatory sentences for those who use weapons in crimes. With that said, for responsible citizens, handguns, rifles, SMGs should be legal. Other heavy military grade weaponry should be banned for the populace.
Immigration Policies: Tight immigration standards and extensive backround checks, but let a steady amount of immigrants enter. Guard borders well and set up several large corporate businesses along the borders to hire possible illegal immigrants.
Income Tax: Abolished. National sales tax would be instituted, and government spending would be cut (ideally).
Israel/Palestine: Neither. More accurately both; I want a peaceful end to the conflict, and since both sides commit atrocious acts, the only solution is to be a mediator, rather than favor one side over the other.
Philosophy: St. Augustine (theologically), Adam Smith (economically).
Political Party Affiliation: Registered Republican. Considering switching to Independent if the neo-conservatism movement continues to flourish. Basically whatever party that brings back true conservatism.
President Bush/American Policies: Depends on the issue. Most of the time I actually disagree with Bush. However, I am very patriotic, and believe that the U.S. can bring a lot of good the world as a whole.
Prostitution: Against. It is dangerous, immoral, will most definitely lead to an increase in crime and will destroy marriage even further (which in turn will continue to break up the family structure). Not a good idea.
Religion: Catholic
Social Security: Ideally, abolish it. More practically, privatize it.
The UN: Ideally, widespread reform. Eliminate a lot of the bureaucracy and inefficiency, as well as make it more of an "acting" body with an actual military and more pervasive police force. If not, I would wish the U.S. to withdraw from the U.N.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Not important to me.
War in Iraq: Strongly against. Even more unfounded than the Vietnam War (which actually had some legitimate concerns--most of which were handled poorly). Saddam and other dictators could be toppled with means other than military action--most notably free market global capitalism, sanctions, and other forms of coersion. Even assassination.
War on : Tough issue. I don't like how the size of the central government is increasing, but I also dislike the idea of religous fanaticsattacking our country. What I will say is that the issue should be something that is over necessity to the security of the nation. Increased funding to the CIA and other intelligence agencies, stricter border regulations and better police funding would greatly help the situation. However, I am strongly opposed to any measures that take away from the rights of others--ie the Patriot Act. Basically, I would summarize my stance with the saying, "the ends don't justify the means".

Divine Imaginary Fluff

10-07-2005, 08:18

The Most Holy Empire of Divine Imaginary Fluff
Abortion: Strongly pro-choice, with a few specific exceptions.
Affirmative Action: Against.
Arms Trade: For.
Death Penalty: Mostly against; for repeated severe offences and extreme cases only.
Drugs: (fairly)Non-lethal should be legalized.
Economic System: Undecided. Likely some kind of more-or-less strange mix of liberalism and socialism.
Education: Should be made more flexible and adapted for groups of people with different needs; compulsory until age 18, after which it remains free for additional cources required for work.
Environmentalism: For.
Euthanasia: Strongly for; should be compulsory for people in vegetative states with no or very little chance of recovery.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution, since I find it the best explanation so far. I believe there might be more to it in addition to evolution, however.
FCC: No idea what it is.
Gay Marriage: Marriage should be abolished, except for as a purely symbolical ceremony. It is then up to the particular religion in question what to allow.
Gun Control: Moderate.
Immigration Policies: Immigration should be regulated, but done so with as little prejudice and pointless discrimination as possible.
Income Tax: Moderate, smoothly increasing with income.
Israel/Palestine: Should either stay split and try to resolve their issues, or join together.
Philosophy: Hard to say. It is intertwined with my ever-changing belief.
Political Party Affiliation: Independent.
President Bush/American Policies: Eeek!1!!!!/Some good, others bad.
Prostitution: Legalized and regulated in order to minimize risk of STIs.
Religion: An agnostified independent spiritual belief currently named "fREaKy Belief", followed by the current version number.
Social Security: Basically for.
The UN: For, altought it could be improved.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Up to the individual. I am a vegetarian (with the exception of eating dairy products, egg and fish) myself simply because I can't stand eating meat. I generally don't give a damn about what other people eat.
War in Iraq: A bad idea to begin with, but now that it has been started, it should be finished properly.
War on Terror: Against in it's current form; should mainly focus on prevention.

Risban

10-07-2005, 08:36

The Grand Imperium of Risban
Abortion: Pro-choice. Personally, I don't like it. However, it is not the government's decision, it is the woman's. I believe the government should offer incentives to mothers who choose adoption over abortion, though.
Affirmative Action: Against
Arms Trade: Go ahead, so long as no WMDs and Biological weapons exchange hands.
Death Penalty: Only for mass murderers and child killers.
Drugs: Medical Marijuana, yes. Other drugs--keep them off the street.
Economic System: Capitalist all the way.
Education: Mandatory until age 18; public funding for the public schools; more money for college aid.
Electoral College in USA Elections: If the electoral/popular votes don't match up one more time, I say throw it out the window.
Environmentalism: Yeah, it would be nice to see green things and trees.
Euthanasia: Only for people in permanent vegetative states if they expressed a wish for such a thing beforehand.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution. There is nothing stopping one from saying that God used evolution for creation.
FCC: Get rid of it.
Gay Marriage: Not my thing, but go right ahead.
Gun Control: I believe that there should be stricter registration laws and such, but all else-- give 'em guns.
Immigration Policies: Stronger backround checks on immigrants, and stronger laws against illegal aliens.
Income Tax: Flat income tax.
Israel/Palestine: Nations in this world have been fighting over the "Holy Land" for millenia, and yet they constantly fail to realize that it is pointless. Either they settle their differences and boundaries or form a unified state.
Philosophy:
Political Party Affiliation: Independent, though I tend to side with Democrats.
President Bush/American Policies: Bush has done more bad than good (but he has done some good!), and our foreign policies need help. Bad.
Prostitution: Government-regulated.
Religion: I believe in God, but I don't put any stock in religion; I don't think God really cares. (Though, I am classified as a Roman Catholic).
Social Security: Good thing; needs help.
The UN: Good deal.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: We're omnivores by nature.
War in Iraq: Rubbish that never should have taken place. Okay, we removed a dictator from power. Ooo! Did we not want to do anything about the thousands of people dying every month in Darfur? Or what about nations like Iran and North Korea for WMDs? Bah.
War on Terror: Go ahead.

The Phileides

10-07-2005, 09:26

The Most Serene Republic of The Phileides
Abortion: Pro-choice
Affirmative Action: Should be class-based, not race-based
Arms Trade: No position
Death Penalty: I'm not against it, but it should only be used when there is no hope of rehabilitation and we're certain the person is guilty. Example: Timothy McVeigh.
Drugs: Legalize mostly harmless ones like marijuana and make it easier to get adequate pain medication
Economic System: Capitalism with regulation to protect consumers
Education: I favor school choice, but not school vouchers. If we use school vouchers, either the government ends up regulating private schools, or there is no regulation on who can get vouchers and the government ends up funding Scientology and who knows what else. Either way is bad.
Electoral College in USA Elections: No position
Environmentalism: We need stricter emissions regulations
Euthanasia: I'm for it, when the person making the decision is of sound mind or left a living will
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution! Anyone who still doubts it has their head under a rock.
FCC: The hysteria over Janet Jackson's briefly exposed breast was ridiculous.
Gay Marriage: Either recognize same-sex marriage or get rid of all government recognition of marriage
Gun Control: Full automatics and other military-grade guns should be closely regulated, but law-abiding citizens should be able to bear other arms, even concealed on their persons if they demonstrate need and pass a thorough background check
Immigration Policies: Pro-immigration. Immigrants are what make the US great!
Income Tax: Progressive and enough to run the government without excessive deficits
Israel/Palestine: Um, peace is good. But I have no idea how to achieve it.
Philosophy: Politically, somewhere left of libertarian. Ethically, a utilitarian hedonist.
Political Party Affiliation: Democrat, more or less
President Bush/American Policies: Not a fan. Bush's administration is too bellicose and anti-science, among other things.
Prostitution: Should be legalized, but I don't know that much government regular will be necessary. The American porn industry seems to do a pretty good job of policing itself.
Religion: Atheist.
Social Security: I don't know what the best course of action is, but I'm convinced Bush's privatization plan would hurt way more than help.
The UN: A great idea poorly executed. For example, nations with grave human right violations should not be on human rights committees.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I'm a sometimes-vegetarian. But it's hard to eat well as a vegetarian when you're dirt poor. Ground turkey costs a third as much as tofu.
War in Iraq: A stupid idea poorly executed. Run on bad intelligence with little postwar planning, and now the people of Iraq are paying for it.
War on Terror: I think it's not being carried out well. Instead of merely threatening nations that harbor terrorists, we should be looking into what makes people terrorists in the first place and do something about the root causes. It should be primarily a war for hearts and minds.

Engelonde

10-07-2005, 09:28

The High Realm of Engelonde
Abortion: Pro-choice, but abortion should be a last resort.
Affirmative Action: For in theory, against in practice.
Arms Trade: Against.
Death Penalty: Vehemently against.
Drugs: For legalization, against wide-spread casual use.
Economic System: Abolish private property when we reach the quantum age. Before that, non-command, socialist economy.
Education: Education should be free as in beer and speech, and should be true education, not indoctrination or a political soapbox.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Abolish it.
Environmentalism: For; it is the only thing any decent human being can do to limit and reverse the damage already inflicted.
Euthanasia: For, though thorough examination is required when the person in question is incapable of giving consent.
Evolution or Creation?: The two need not be mutually exclusive.
FCC: Censorship.
Gay Marriage: Abolish marriage; anyone can have unions, regardless of race, gender, sex, age, species, etc.
Gun Control: Guns shouldn't exist. Destroy all guns.
Immigration Policies: Abolish borders and nationalities.
Income Tax: Abolish.
Israel/Palestine: Abolish both states.
Philosophy: Anarchist; libertarian socialist.
Political Party Affiliation: Independent.
President Bush/American Policies: Another unjust government.
Prostitution: Legalize.
Religion: Agnostic/Protestant; abolish special rights to organized religion.
Social Security: The government must provide it, before we abolish it.
The UN: A good idea, but ripe with corruption. Much better than having nothing to stop world governments, though.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: A good alternative to an omnivorous lifestlye.
War in Iraq: Unjust war that replaced a tyrant with many more.
War on Terror: A waste of tax money. Focus on reconciling the Middle-east hostilities first.

Daistallia 2104

10-07-2005, 10:31

The Federated Cantons of Daistallia 2104

Abortion: Somewhat undecided. It sould probably remain legal, but should be regulated to prevent abuse. A fetus is not a person, but is it not not-a person. It is a potential person.

Affirmative Action: Reverse discrimination that reinforces the outdated and contemptable concept of biological races.

Arms Trade: Good business.

Death Penalty: Definately needed. It serves as an absolute and
perminant deterent - to one individual who has shown the inclination towards killing. However, there are currently problems with how it is currently being used in the US.

Drugs: Legalise them all.

Economic System: Laissez-faire free market pure capitalism.

Education: Privatisation.

Electoral College in USA Elections: It's not broken, so don't touch it.
It was put into the US constitution for a very good reason (the great balancing act), and tampering with it will likely cause more problems than it would fix.

Environmentalism:
Environmentalist, but disagree with almost all organizations that present themselves as such, as they tend to be "watermelon greens" (green on the outside, red on the inside).
Global Warming, and greenhouse gas emissions are overblown. It has yet to be shown that humans have caused global warming. Additionally, global warming has kept us out of the impending ice age. If global warming is shown to be linked to human release of greenhouse gasses, it is likely to self corect within the next 100 years. The coming oil peak will force the reduction of the release of these gasses.
Pollution is a matter of property rights. If you pollute my property (including my body), it is exactly the same as if you physically assualt me. Property rights also internalize the negative consequences of pollution, thus providing incentive to reduce it. Furthermore, establishing property rights prevents "Tragedy of the Commons" situations, such as have lead to the near destruction of many fisheries around the world.
Big governments are the largest cause of environmental pollution and damage.

Euthanasia: You need a clear statement of intent and concent, but otherwise, OK.

Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.

FCC: Disband it.

Gay Marriage: Abolish all state recognition of marriage, other than as simply another contract between legally consenting adults.

Gun Control: Thge US needs to roll back the overly restrictive laws currently in place in order to comply with the constitution.

Immigration Policies: US policies need to be much looser.

Income Tax: Abolish it, and replace it with user fees.

Israel/Palestine: The US should back way off of this one. Stop throwing away money on it. Politically, Palestinian statehood should be supported.

Philosophy: Minarchist Libertarian. Influances: Aristotle, Machiavelli, John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, Adam Smith, Thomas Paine, Ayn Rand, and Robert Nozick.

Political Party Affiliation: Independent, but I usually vote GOP or LP

President Bush/American Policies:
Bush: Too influanced by authoritarians and religious radicals. The current administration has made several strategic errors. Bush himself is not an idiot. However, he does strike me as a prototypical spoiled rich frat boy. And he's a chickenhawk deserter.
US Policies: Over the long term, US policies have been co-opted by many different interests. We need to stop sticking our nose where it does not belong.
And, the current military needs to be doubled. The "peace dividend" was a scam that gutted the military at a time when it was going to be needed to follow the often (mistaken) policies of the US.
(Pedantic note: It should be US, not American, as N. and S. America do not have a single policy.)

Prostitution: Legalise it.

Religion: Buddhist.

Social Security: A fix for a non-existant problem that was intended to be temporary, but which has become a long term pyramid scheme that is fundamentally unsustanable.

The UN: The UN has never worked as it was intended. It's a good idea in need of serious fixing. Unfortunately, I suspect it is eventually headed to the scrapheap of history, much like it's equally ineffective predesessor.

Veganism/Vegetarianism: Not vegetarian, but I have no argument with it.

War in Iraq: A prime example of the Bush administration's strategic errors. I originally supported it, on the grounds that Saddam did appear to present a clear danger. However, the execution and prossecution, especially of the occupation, has been nearly criminal.
Assuming the re-stated goals are accepted, the occupation, pacification, and rebuilding will require significantly more resources than I can see the US is willing or able to put into it.

War on Terror: A misnomer, as terrorism is the enemy, but his tactic. It should properly be named the War on Al Qaida.
The WAQ is a just war of self-defense, as the US and others have been attacked by this organisation repeatedly. This war probably should have been prosecuted by the Clinton administration.
Unfortunately, this war is probably not winnable, due to the only proven method of stamping out enemies who practice terroism (the so called "Mongol method" of laying absolute waste) is highly unpalatable in the modern world.

Constantinopolis

10-07-2005, 10:39

The Holy Socialist Republic of Constantinopolis
Abortion: Pro-Life as a matter of principle, but I support abortion when the mother's life is in danger, in cases of rape and during the first weeks of pregnancy.
Affirmative Action: Pro. But it should be class-based, not race-based. Help those from disadvantaged backgrounds, regardless of their skin colour.
Arms Trade: Heavily regulated. No sale of any arms to organizations (including nations) that are suspected of using them to intentionally murder civilians.
Death Penalty: Only for genocide and crimes against humanity (e.g. Hitler).
Drugs: Soft drugs (e.g. cannabis) should be legalized.
Economic System: Socialism all the way! The means of production (= capital goods, including such things as all industries) should be nationalized and placed under the ownership of a democratic state. The economy should be a planned one, with the people having a large say in the planning process. Finally, a high degree of social equality should be established. For more details, see here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Constantinopolis#Economy).
Education: Completely and absolutely free. For-profit schools and universities should be banned. All schools and universities should get all their money from public funding, and charge no tuition fees. Why? Because tuition fees are a form of discrimination based on class: Rich kids can get in better schools even if they are less qualified. Even if you assume that everyone's wealth comes from their own merit, you still can't justify private education, because it's the parents, not the kids, who pay for education. If rich parents can buy their kids a better education, you get social stratification: The children of the rich will always stay rich and the children of the poor will always stay poor.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Abolish it. It's outdated and anti-democratic.
Environmentalism: Pro. We should protect our environment at least for our own sake if nothing else.
Euthanasia: Pro, but only with consent from patient and doctor. If the patient is in a coma, his/her relatives should not be allowed to call for euthanasia.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
FCC: What's that? Some American thing, I guess...
Gay Marriage: Pro. They're not harming anyone, so let them marry.
Gun Control: Against. The people must be armed in order to defend themselves from any potential tyrants.
Immigration Policies: Moderate and sensible. Not too open, but not too closed either.
Income Tax: Strongly progressive. The poorest of all should pay no tax at all, while the richest pay as much as 80%.
Israel/Palestine: They're both at fault, though in different ways. The only hope is for them to come to some sort of understanding and make peace. Any solution is good as long as it makes both sides happy.
Philosophy: Utilitarianism all the way! The greatest good for the greatest number.
Political Party Affiliation: None in particular, though I do of course support Communist Parties in general.
President Bush/American Policies: They range between stupid and evil.
Prostitution: Against. It is an extreme form of exploitation of women, and women only take up this job when they're in a desperate situation and have no other choice. The state should ensure that no one is put in such a desperate situation.
Religion: Christianity.
Social Security: Absolutely necessary. And it must be a public institution.
The UN: Great in theory, but mostly worthless in practice. It needs the power to actually enforce its resolutions.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Not a vegetarian, and don't really care. Animals eat each other all the time, so there's nothing wrong with us doing the same.
War in Iraq: A war was needed to remove Saddam Hussein, but this war is a disaster. And it was started under the lie about WMD's. There's not much that can be done about it now, though. US troops need to stay there to prevent a civil war.
War on Terror: I'd rather have a war on the causes of terror. People don't just wake up one morning and decide to blow themselves up. Poor and desperate Muslims are the prey of terrorist recruiters.

Keep in mind that this is incredibly simplified and as such is not entirely accurate.

The Tire-Burning Torque Empire of HotRodia
Abortion: I'm reluctantly pro-choice in terms of legality, believe it's morally acceptable under certain circumstances.
Affirmative Action: Generally opposed to this. Would rather see the money spent on AA go to fund underprivileged schools and help eliminate the causes of the problem.
Arms Trade: Depends on how it's done.
Death Penalty: Generally opposed, but exceptions might be in order for the most incorrigible individuals.
Drugs: Legalize and tax heavily.
Economic System: Capitalism with moderate government regulation, but ideally individuals would regulate themselves.
Education: One of the few areas in which I support socialization of services, needs improvement here in the US.
Electoral College in USA Elections: It's fine with me. I may not agree with the results, but I don't blame it on the system; I blame it on the people.
Environmentalism: Individuals should handle this, but in certain cases government regulation is appropriate.
Euthanasia: If they consent to it, sure.
Evolution or Creation?: Ummm...creation by way of evolution?
FCC: I'm assuming this is about the censorship stuff. In that case, I'm not liking where they're going.
Gay Marriage: As a legal matter, I'm all for it.
Gun Control: I don't own a gun, but I'll keep my right to do so to whatever extent I think appropriate, thank you very much.
Immigration Policies: Generally an open-but-secure-border kinda guy.
Income Tax: If it's necessary, have one.
Israel/Palestine: The whole situation is sad.
Philosophy: Incredibly complicated vaguely utilitarian framework.
Political Party Affiliation: None. Voted Libertarian in the last election.
President Bush/American Policies: Some just suck, some are so-so but not great.
Prostitution: Legalize even though I think it's highly immoral.
Religion: We should be free to be religious or not to be religious, as the case may be. No theological statements by government.
Social Security: A general waste of money, in my opinion. Charity preferred.
The UN: Good idea for an organization and I generally support the basic methods used, but doesn't have the best track record in certain areas.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: If ya want to do that, I couldn't care less.
War in Iraq: Generally opposed to those sorts of military actions because I tend to be rather isolationist, but who the hell knows whether this'll be the right thing in the end.
War on Terror: It's not a bad idea to combat terror, but I'm not exactly seeing the best methods used here. Needs some work.

Carops

The Empire of Carops
Abortion: Against abortion in all circumstances
Affirmative Action: No opinion
Arms Trade: Nothing wrong with it
Death Penalty: All for it in cases of Murder.
Drugs: Should be totally illegal and sentences for possession very strict
Economic System: Capitalist free market economy similar to that of America
Education: Education should be provided by the state, but private education should be available and all education should be taught on grounds of ability, with a system of grammar shools for more able pupils.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Although, I am not American, I consider it to be a stupid system.
Environmentalism: Favourably disposed towards it, but not completely devoted to it.
Euthanasia: For, because I would probably rather die easily than suffer a prolongued death.
Evolution or Creation?: Theistic Evolution.
FCC: What is it?
Gay Marriage: I do not agree with it.
Gun Control: No member of the public should own a gun. At all.
Immigration Policies: Immigration should take place, but only in a quantity necessary for the country. Immigrants should be made to fit in with the society they are entering.
Income Tax: Income task should not be as high as it is in Britain for the higher tax bands. But I accpet it is necessary
Israel/Palestine: Both are as bad as one another
Philosophy: My own, heavily influenced by those around me.
Political Party Affiliation: The Conservatie Party (uk)
President Bush/American Policies: Bush is, in my opinion, a fool. America is, however, something to be admired.
Prostitution: Should be completely illegal and punishments should be severe. It is disgusting that it occurs in this day and age and we should stamp it out and help those women involved to find another way of life.
Religion: Roman Catholicism
Social Security: It is necessary. I will say no more.
The UN: Indifferent.
War in Iraq: Against completely.
War on Terror: Against completely.

The Most Serene Republic of Baranxtu

Affirmative Action: Against.
Arms Trade: For the sake of defense, yes, but strightly controlled.

President Bush/American Policies: Let's all move along people, shall we?

The UN: A little to beaurocratic, but generally a good idea.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Whatever rocks your boat.

Human Dominion

13-07-2005, 23:33

The <Holy Empire> of <Human Dominion>
Abortion: Should only be allowed in cases of incest, rape, teen pregnancies, or if the mother will die or be hurt. But abortion should not be allowed under normal circumstances. Fetuses are humans, scinetifically speaking.
Affirmative Action: Minorities are naturally obtaining equal rights to whites already, so it is pointless, and only ends up hurting whites.
Arms Trade: Unnecessary assault weapons should be banned, and there should be gun licenses.
Death Penalty: Yes
Drugs: There needs to be a major crack down.
Economic System: Our current system in the US, where laissez-faire capitalism incorporates some socialistic elements seems ideal to me.
Education: Education is the foundation of a democracy. It should be heavily funded.
Electoral College in USA Elections: It's good, but instead of having the winner-takes-all system for each individual state, the candidate should get the percentage of the electoral votes that he gets of the popular vote in that state.
Environmentalism: The environment is important and nice to look at, and it's the most universally recognized problem, yet both parties are doing horribly at it. It needs to be protected better
Euthanasia: Unacceptable, unjustified. The person has a possibility of recovering.
Evolution or Creation?: Both. Intelligent Design.
FCC: I don't feel strongly about the FCC, bad or good.
Gay Marriage: It should be illegal. Science has still never proven that homosexuality is natural in the majority of circumstances, and until then I support mental treatment for homosexuals. I do, by the way, have a fair amount of homosexual friends.
Gun Control: Unnecessary assault weapons should be banned, and there should be gun licenses.
Immigration Policies: Let's face it, illegal immigrants are good for our economy, except when they're terrorists or criminals. Those ones need to be stopped.
Income Tax: There should be a more simplified tax code, with less loopholes. Also, there should be a flat tax, except the rich should be taxed a little higher than the lower and middle classes. The inheritance tax ought to be lowered to a much smaller percentage.
Israel/Palestine: There should be a separate Palestinian state, and they need to have less violence towards each other.
Philosophy: I love philosophy. I believe in mainly Utilitarianism and pragmatism. "The greatest good for the greatest number" and "The ends justify the means." I also like Aristotle and Nietzsche a lot. I am somewhat of an existentialist as well.
Political Party Affiliation: moderate Republican.
President Bush/American Policies: I agree with many of them. But I am opposed to our environmental policies, which are idiotic and completely incomprehensive, but they do help our economy significantly, at the very least. But if I have to choose between quality, healthy human life and a very robust economy, I will choose the quality human life. Education should also receive more funding, and vouchers for parochial shcools need to be given out more often.
Prostitution: It should only be legal in Las Vegas. We don't want our men to be wussy nerds who don't know how to get real women, we need to educate them on how to be a ladiesman, so they don't waste their money and give it to whoares.
Religion: I agree with the current system. I am personally a liberal Protestant, when it comes to religion. I am really more of a deist/theist than a believer in the divinity of Christ, however, kind-of like Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln.
Social Security: We need to realize the truth, Social Security's a failed system. Yes, it worked great back when we were emerging from a horrible depression, and when the ratio of workers to retirees was 20 to 1, but different times call for different measures. Now that ratio is about 4 to 1, and not too long from now, that ratio will be 2 to 1. In fact, by 2050 social security, along with the taxpayers, will be losing money, and no one will benefit from social security. We need to act now and create federally-supported system of personal investment accounts, but still pay soon-to-be retiress.
The UN: The UN is a good idea, but sometimes it is too slow. It is sometimes necessary for the world's strongest power, the US, to take matters into its own hands, and do the right thing immediately.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: It is innane. We are intended, physiologically, to eat meat and animal products. Plus, animals aren't sentient, so it's not cruel to kill them and eat them. Our diets were meant to include animal products and meat, and without them, or without vitamin supplements as compensation, we become sick.
War in Iraq: It is good to liberate 50 million people from a tyrannical dictator. It's also interesting to note that a great deal of soldiers report that most Iraqis are actually very supportive of their efforts, much more so the media seems to portray. We are helping their economy while helping ours, and creating a gateway in the middle east from where we can further the great ideals that we stand for, including democracy, freedom, and civil rights.
War on Terror: It is a wise move in our efforts to protect ourselves and the world from those who have little respect for the dignity of human life, and who oppose our great civilizations. But we also need to making some efforts in preventing terrorists from recruiting in addition. We can do this through Iraq in the future, and we can also support programs to fight against poverty and establish social welfare programs in countries that are at risk.

I hope you appreaciate and respect my views!

Feraulaer

14-07-2005, 00:30

The Most Serene Republic of Feraulaer
Abortion: Should be legal. I feel that women will kill children inside their wombs anyway, as the past has shown, and that, since we have the technology, we should make that as safe as possible. The limit will be Three months into pregnancy. After that, bad luck.
Affirmative Action: Is this about giving certain minorities positions because they are minorities? I wouldn't want to be hired somewhere just because I am gay. On the other hand, I can see how a purely white police force in a black neighbourhood can be percieved as biased.
Arms Trade: Everybody who makes a gun is responsible for the murders committed with it. And they know it. So no, thank you.
Death Penalty: Never. I'd die to prevent it.
Drugs: Marihuana should be legal, or alcohol and tobacco should be illegal. It's either way, but considering my culture, I'd legalise marihuana.
Economic System: I'd prefer to not have money at all, but that would mean such a big cultural change that I don't see it happening in my lifetime. I do regret the society capitalism has created though.
Education: Free, for anyone.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Stupid. It's insulting to the voters and I'd protest against it, if I were American.
Environmentalism: The environment should go before everything else. Where would we be without it?
Euthanasia: Why not? The world is overpopulated as it is and it wouldn't be mandatory. :)
Evolution or Creation?: Come on, that isn't a choice. It's a combination of the two.
FCC: As far as I understand it, this is the organisation that censors TV etcetera, right? I say away with them. Air everything, the box has an off-button, y'know.
Gay Marriage: Legalize it. We all know it's gonna happen anyway, as it should.
Gun Control: No guns allowed, nowhere.
Immigration Policies: Well, in my ideal world there would be no borders, but as things are now, refugees are welcome. And political asylum would be granted to the max, meaning if you are denied a civil right in your country, be it by the government or the society, you are welcome.
Income Tax: Not higher than needed.
Israel/Palestine: If I were the leader of any country, I would either go there and slap both their asses (verbally of course) and tell them to play nice or ignore them like we do to the rest of the countries in war. I don't understand why our media is so hung up on this particular conflict. There are dozens of other wars going on, but we never hear about those. And then we hear every day that yet another guy has blown himself up on a bus or a bulldozer destroyed 10 houses with the people still inside. What would happen if we all would stop to care about it? It couldn't get any worse. Someone needs to just solve this or stay the hell out.
Philosophy: would be a mandatory subject in school.
Political Party Affiliation: I wouldn't want to be associated with any party.
President Bush/American Policies: They suck.
Prostitution: Should be legalized and regulated for the safety of the prostitutes. Yes, the state will pimp them.
Religion: Although I'm not very fond of the way some people practice it, I'm gonna let the majority of the people have the benefit of the doubt. So, it's free. Anti-discrimination laws are however more important.
Social Security: Well, in my ideal moneyfree we-take-care-of-each-other-world, there wouldn't be need for it, but since we don't live in that world, yes.
The UN: Love it. They should have intervened in Darfur though. It was genocide.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I'm all for it and would consider having meat taxes. That would have to be combined with subsidised alternative mineral sources though.
War in Iraq: Sadam is gone: Yay! Iraq is currently a bigger mess than it was before: Dumb dumb dumb. They should have thought it through much and much better. The way the USA went about recruiting nations to come along: Arrogant, stupid, lying to their own people and our governments. The use of nuclear weapons by the USA: Fuck that shit! They always throw them on someone else and let them get cancer and live in toxic environments for decades, if not centuries. Fuck that! How evil can they be?
War on Terror: Please, let's once and for all change that to War on Terrorists. Let's forget about all this Jihad crap and deal with the criminals. The secret services should, like they always did, be concerned with the motives of these criminals. Stop the scare-the-crowd-politics and have a fair election for once.

AnarchyeL

14-07-2005, 07:29

Abortion: Woman's choice, no exceptions. ZERO "father's rights" or "parents' rights."
Affirmative Action: If this is the best we can do as a reparation for slavery, I say go for it. MORE AA, not less.
Arms Trade: Can it.
Death Penalty: Against... but not on principle. I think some people deserve to die for their crimes, but I think our (American) justice system is so corrupt, racist, unfair, and incompetent -- even after the extensive appeals process -- that we just should not risk killing innocent people.
Drugs: I love them!
Economic System: Market socialism.
Education: Ummm... education is good. Private education should be BANNED.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Whatever... I've never seen that it makes a great deal of difference. Take it / Leave it.
Environmentalism: I prefer the term "ecologism." ;)
Euthanasia: If people want to die, let them!
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
FCC: Hmmm... kind of a vague question? I'm ambivalent here, and would prefer not to get into it.
Gay Marriage: Do it!
Gun Control: Ambivalent. This may depend on locality (especially urban vs. rural).
Immigration Policies: Let them in! (That'll give us a reason to care about living conditions around the globe.) ;)
Income Tax: Sure. Progressive.
Israel/Palestine: Palestine. But at this point, the only solution can be a compromise... too hard to get into in a short space.
Philosophy: Existentialism.
Political Party Affiliation: Party?? There are parties this far to the Left?
President Bush/American Policies: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Prostitution: Sure.
Religion: No.
Social Security: Yes.

Letokia

The Democratic Republic of Letokia
Abortion: Unlimited access to abortions...No use giving birth to an unwanted child...If you feel guilty about it, give your baby up for adoption, or adopt an unwanted child.
Affirmative Action: Needs to be reformed by making it class-based, rather than the current race-based AA.
Arms Trade: All Arms Trades should be made completely public, to avoid corruption.

Education: Should stay public, but must be massively reformed.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Bleh...Either massively reform it, or just get rid of it.

War on Terror: A war fought on false pretenses, that we were actually attacked by Muslim "jihadists" on 9/11, instead of an alliance between Mossad, Saudis, and American Corporate Globalists.

Arnburg

14-07-2005, 12:22

Nation name: The Holy Republic of Arnburg.

Abortion: Strongly oppose. I am Pro-life. With the exception of rape, incest and the mother's health being at risk. Anyone caught breaking this law, shall be sent to the islands, as well as the rapists and those participating in the lewd act of incest.

Affirmative Action: Oppose. It shall be banned.

Arms Trade: Strongly oppose. Breaking this law, sends one to the islands.

Death Penalty: Strongly oppose. However, I also believe that all prisons should be shut down, and all criminals shall be sent to high security islands. They are free to do as they please on that island, but are forbidden from ever leaving. To do so, would be suicidal. Some electrical/mechanical gadget would get any one who tried. I am also opposed to all forms of rehabilatation. Different islands for different crimes. One day, there might be more people on the islands than on the mainland. That's life!

Drugs: Strongly oppose. All drugs are to be banned and illegal. Breaking this law, sends one to the islands. Also, shut down the FDA. There is no need for it, now that herbs, vitamins and natural cures have replaced all those harmful and useless drugs.

Economic System: Small scale Capitalism/Socialism mix, with regulations and price control (maximum a business can sell a product for). Break the law, sends one to the island. How's that for an economic model? This is not a contradiction, it's called a balance.

Education: Free education for all throughout college. All schools are Catholic/Christian. Prayer is mandatory. School uniforms are mandatory. Breaking the law, gives one the option of leaving the country or being sent to the islands.

Since all citezens will be making roughly the same amount of money each year, there is no need to have any other form of taxation. Anyone caught for tax evasion or paying under the table will be sent to the islands.

(b)Corporatism and subsidies: (b/) Strongly oppose. These practices will be banned immediately. Anyone caught in such practices, shall be sent to the islands.

(b)Welfare: (b/) All for it. Only those who have truely been proven to be handicapped in such a way that work is not possible, will be eligible for this program. All others will have to work or starve to death. This shall by no means be that hard, since my nation has a 0% unemployment rate and 0% poverty. There are more than enough jobs for everyone, guarenteed.

There's my stance on 50 issues. If you would like 50 more, or even more than that, I will gladly provide them. My list is very extensive. Laws are required for just about anything, that is how a nation prospers and endures, without them, a nation will surely fall.

GOD bless!

Sincerely,
Robert of Arnburg.

Nation Name: The Holy Empire of El Caudillo

Abortion: Oppose 100%, no exceptions
Affirmative Action: I hate all forms of racism, so it is only natural that I oppose affirmative action.
Arms Trade: Nothing wrong with it, so long as we don't trade with enemies.
Death Penalty: Strongly support it.
Drugs: Drug laws should be dictated by state and local governments, not the federal government.
Economic System: 100% capitalist, with no minimum wage laws, no corporate welfare, no business regulations, no antitrust laws, etc.
Education: Education should be the responsibility of local governments, not the federal government
Electoral College in USA Elections: Support it strongly; it's necessary to prevent tyranny by majority
Environmentalism: I support moderate environmentalism, i.e. recycling, re-forestation, picking up trash, not littering, using resources responsibly; today's radical pantheistic environmentalism frightens me.
Euthanasia: Oppose it.
Evolution or Creation?: Creationism all the way. Evolution is a myth created by sickly pink humanists.
FCC: No opinion.
Gay Marriage: I personally oppose it (though I have nothing against gay people, hate the sin but love the sinner), but it's not up to the government to legislate morality, so it should be up to the people to decide.
Gun Control: Oppose it 100%.
Immigration Policies: We should set a certain date; all illegals who enter after that date will be deported. We need very strict border control.
Income Tax: Oppose 100%, because it is socialistic and violates the Biblical commandment against theft.

Borgoa

17-07-2005, 02:16

The Nordic Democratic Republic of Borgoa
Abortion: For. Women must have control over their own bodies.
Affirmative Action: I don't understand what this means
Arms Trade: This should be limited in so far is possible. Countries that have violated human rights or are fighting unjust wars with many civilian deaths should be prohibited from purchasing arms by international sanctions.
Death Penalty: State-sponsored murder. Those remaining countries that practice it should join the rest of the civilised world and ban it. Until they do they have no right to critisise other countries human rights records.
Drugs: Illegal drugs? Prescription drugs? Medicine. Not sure what this is referring to.
Economic System: Market economy with workers' rights strongly guarenteed and control over the private sector to ensure it respects the rights of the employees and other matters such as the environment
Education: Should be free and open to everyone on the basis of equality.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Should be replaced by direct vote - this would be more representative democratically. Aditionally, the Americans should elect their Congress members via PR to ensure democracy. The current wide-scale gerrymandering that goes on in a country that likes to call itself the world's leading democracy is quite shocking.
Environmentalism: The environment should be protected. Kioto should be fully implemented in all signatory countries immeadiately. Climate change is a reality caused by human influence.
Euthanasia: Unsure. I would be against keeping someone alive just because we can when they are having no quality of life or are not even consious.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution of course. It is hard to believe some parts of the world teach the creation story as science!
FCC: ?? Don't know what this is.
Gay Marriage: Marriage should be open to both sexualities in the spirit of equality
Gun Control: Guns should only be in the hands of the appropriate authorities and limited strictly to those that hunt with strict controls and checks
Immigration Policies: Immigration should be allowed in a managed way to ensure our resources can cope
Income Tax: ? What about it. It's the fairest form of taxation. The very rich should be taxed at minimum 50%.
Israel/Palestine: Palestinians have the right to have their own independent sovereign state. Isreal must vacate the occupied territories immeadiately. Israel must not continue targeted assisinations and brutal policies towards Palestinians - they are a state and thus should not resort to the tactics of the terrorists. The Palestinians must control terrorists as much as possible - we should however realise that the Israeli authorities impede the Palestinian security forces work. Jerusalem should be an open city.
Philosophy: Where to start... Where does it begin and end
Political Party Affiliation: Social democrat (Sweden)
President Bush/American Policies: President Bush's policies are a huge threat to global peace. They incorage terrorism. His environmental policies and human rights records are both appalling. I find it shocking that he could be elected by a civilised country such as USA.
Prostitution: The prostitute should not be stigmatised, for often there are serious reasons as to why he or she has turned to prostitution. The law should prohibit the act of procuring sex from a prostitute.
Religion: nominally a member of the Church of Sweden (i.e. Lutheran). In practice, I don't go to church (except for weddings, funerals and at Christmas)
Social Security: Social insurance is vital to ensure equality and to protect those in difficult situations.
The UN: Vital institution. Urgently needs reform - especially the Security Council.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Personally I am not, but they have the right to their beliefs and should be catered for.
War in Iraq: Illegal under international law. Both main pretexts given by the United States (links with terrorism/Al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction) clearly false. However, it has helped to recruit terrorists for which the world is now a more dangerous place.
War on Terror: A very effective recruitment drive for terror. Being handled completely incorrectly - the wrong approach to ending terrorism. Counter-productive in the extreme.

Zincite

17-07-2005, 03:01

The Egalitarian Community of Zincite
Abortion: Pro-choice, though I personally doubt I would have one
Affirmative Action: On the one hand it seems like racism in reverse, on the other hand maybe the minorities need the support? I can't decide what I think.
Arms Trade: Not well informed.
Death Penalty: Against.
Drugs: Most if not all should be legal.
Economic System: Anarchism would be ideal in small communities, but in a global economy more socialist systems are appropriate.
Education: The US system seems fine to me.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Fucking idiotic.
Environmentalism: Good... who would say otherwise?
Euthanasia: If the person is terminally ill and wants it, yes.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution, though I'd note neither excludes the other.
FCC: Not well informed.
Gay Marriage: FOR^infinity
Gun Control: Difficult to answer, I believe in freedoms but equally know guns are dangerous.
Immigration Policies: Much too strict in the US.
Income Tax: See "Economic System"
Israel/Palestine: Dude, I've been convinced both ways so much I'm fucking sick of the issue.
Philosophy: Too general, what do you mean?
Political Party Affiliation: None currently, will probably register as independent when I turn 18.
President Bush/American Policies: Eugh.
Prostitution: Legal as long as the prostitutes are consenting, willing, and there's no pimping going on.
Religion: Sort of Wiccan, but not really, kinda more pantheistic.
Social Security: ... whatever it was supposed to be, we're screwed soon.
The UN: Haven't heard much about them lately. Didn't do much to stop the US from going into Iraq.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Vegetarian myself. I admire the discipline of vegans. Otherwise, none of anyone else's business what you don't eat.
War in Iraq: Was against it starting, but now I can't tell the best course of action, I just want it to get over.
War on Terror: A stupid idea. You can't fight an emotion, and you can't win against terrorism. How about trying to figure out WHY they're pissed at us instead - nobody just blows things up because they like to.

Ryanania

The Holy Republic of Ryanania
Abortion: Against except in cases with extenuating circumstances.
Affirmative Action: Against.

Death Penalty: For.
Drugs: Against.
Economic System: Mixed socialism and capitalism. Like the US system.
Education: Public, but with school vouchers for those who want to send their chillun to private school.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Against.
Environmentalism: A little bit is good. I mean, we don't need to slash and burn the Redwoods, but on the other hand, members of ELF and ALF need to be shot. In the kneecaps.
Euthanasia: Not sure.
Evolution or Creation?: Creationary evolution.
FCC: Good.
Gay Marriage: Don't care.
Gun Control: There should be mandatory safety classes.
Immigration Policies: Immigrants built America. Let them come. It's good for the economy and for our military strength.
Income Tax: Progressive.
Israel/Palestine: Israel.
Philosophy: Ummm, yes?
Political Party Affiliation: Independent.
President Bush/American Policies: Some good, some bad. Afghanistan= good, Irak= poorly timed.
Prostitution: Against.
Religion: Christian.
Social Security: Good.
The UN: Sad.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Animals are tasty.
War in Iraq: Poorly timed.
War on Terror: Good.

The Lagonia States

17-07-2005, 16:17

The Glorious Republic of The Lagonia States
Abortion: Before all else politicly, I am pro-life. I believe abortion is the ultimate cheapening of life. It causes a moral stain on the country out of which tolerence to all manner of evil is allowed. When life is left unprotected, especially today when feminists applaud everytime another baby is snuffed out of exsistence, it forces life in general to be cheapened.

Affirmative Action: Opposed. Let me tell you about Sears, the most racist institution there ever was. I worked there for some time, and there was a minimum quota of minorities for every department. Since the best departments had established minority employees and since there were too few minorities signing up, minorities in entry-level departments could not recieve promotions. Anytime you leave it up to universal rules like that, the policy will become racists in and of itself. Boy, I've gotta make these responses shorter.

Arms Trade: Licences are nessisary, but that's about as far as I'll go.

Death Penalty: Opposed. I have serious issues with the government putting someone to death. Besides, life is precious and should never be intentionally snuffed out (See above: abortion)

Drugs: Keep them illegal. The argument that 'people will do it anyway' is insane. You may as well legalize murder too, since people will do it anyway

Economic System: No system has allowed more people to prosper than the free market system.

Education: Let's face it, in a country that boasts the best secondary education in the world, public education is in a sorry state. There's no one-step solution to fix it, though vouchers are a good start.

Electoral College in USA Elections: Nessisary. It solves a number of problems. For starters, it ensures that one state cannot supply too many votes for one candidate. If, say, California was in favor of someone under-qualified just because he was Californian, and overwhelmingly voted for him, one state could force the entire nation into his presidency. Also, imagine if Florida in 2000 had to be done across the entire country!

Environmentalism: I don't understand how people can look at this wonderfull planet and think that we actually have the ability to damage it irreparably. Think about it, folks, no matter what we do, we can't match the destructive power of a hurrican, or match the o-zone depletion of one volcano. When Mt. Pinatubo errupted years back, it sent into the ozone 1000 times the florocarbons produced by man in it's exsistence, and things like this have been happening for four billion years! The planet is resilient, ladies and gentlemen, and nothing we do is going to stop that.

That being said, however, little things like poluted rivers and lakes can and should be fixed up by man. Little things like that can be prevented and fixed. It's hardly going to destroy the world, but they're real eyesores.

Euthanasia: Once again, all life is precious (See above: Abortion, death penalty)

Evolution or Creation?: Both. Huh? I know you're asking yourself how someone could believe in both. It's because I believe creationism as described in the bible was a metaphor for evolution, and that God started the process of evolution from the start of the universe.

FCC: Lay off! We can survive with a little racey content, ok? Don't like it? Turn it off! That being said, there needs to be an FCC to make sure people don't go nuts, but it needs to be much less intrusive.

Gay Marriage: Politians: Just allow civil unions. Gays: Take the civil union comprimise and stop whining.

Gun Control: See: arms trade

Immigration Policies: I haven't heard any good ideas yet. Liberals complain that Republicans haven't done anything, but don't offer any suggestions, and conservitives complain that liberals are too busy complaining, but are too busy complaining about them complaining to do anything. STOP ILLEAGAL IMMIGRATION! I can't believe our president wants to grant them amnisty!

Income Tax: Well, it was probably a mistake, but it's here now, and it's not going away. I'd rather see a value-added tax, or something like that, but if I were in charge I probably wouldn't mess with the statu quo here. I want lower taxes for increased growth, if that helps answer your question.

Israel/Palestine: Israel has the legal right to be there, and when terrorists try to take it away, how can we not help Israel? Especially when they have stood by us, even when we didn't stand by them.

Philosophy: Uh... what?

Political Party Affiliation: Pro-Life party. I know, we never win, but we try hard.

President Bush/American Policies: I'm a major supported of Bush's forign policies, and moderately in favor of his domestic policies. He still has alot to work out on immigration and similar issues, but he's doing a good job.

Prostitution: Keep it where it belongs, in Las Vegas! Seriously, though, the way it is now is fine. It's a state-by-state matter, which is where most power should rest. I'd rather have it illegal, but who am I to tell someone in Nevada that they can't have prostitution?

Religion: I'm not sure if this is asking my religion or my stance on it. I'm an incredably religious person who belongs to no formal church. Confused? Well, my belief structure is is centered mainly around Judeo-christen ideals, with a great many Buddist princibles and an open mind to any new ideas that come in.

As far as religion and politics, it's getting crazy here right now. My right to worhip publicly is no longer protected. Half-way through high school, we were informed we were no longer allowed to pray before ballgames. I could not pray at all while in the school, in fact, I could not even talk about religion formally without being told I have no place there. Despite living in the most religious of the primary nations, the elite of society talk down to religious people.

I have no problem with whatever religion you want to be, really, I don't. You don't want to pray, who cares? But if I want to, I should be allowed to.

Social Security: It's broken, it needs to be fixed. It was never a very good idea. Create a safety net for people and they'll fall on it without a second thought. It's too well-entrenched to be done away with, though. Private accounts are a good way of getting people less dependent on a broken system.

The UN: I'd love to see it reformed, but we all know it's not going to happen. Give them time to fix themselves up, and when they fail, pull out. When you have Syria and Iran on the human rights commision, nothing good can come out of that orginization.

Veganism/Vegetarianism: I'm not a vegitarian. I don't hunt, I think it's wrong to go out and kill something, but if the animal is being raised to be eaten, then that's it's birthright.

War in Iraq: It was nessisary, and I think we can all agree the world is safer now.

War on Terror: We're winning, so it's easy to support.

There ya go.
