    I think we should take all the money we put into all of those things and pour it into education, so that people like you can spell things like:
    survey
    marriage
    adoption
    asylum
    and what

    But seriously, I am for the death penalty, used to be pro-choice but now lean toward pro-life (but NOT for religious reasons, and I can't even imagine aligning myself with the "typical" pro-lifer), I am for gay marriage, against gay adoption, I AM VEHEMENTLY AGAINST GUN CONTROL, I like the idea of free immigration but feel we should have strict standards for who can come in (i.e. not criminals) and be strict in our treatment of those who come illegally, and while I believe that capitalism must have limits and be regulated to protect consumers and businesses alike, I loathe communism and believe it is fundamentally flawed and can never work.

    Blue skies,

    Except if you want to make absolutely sure a person never murders again.



    Um, "FOR abortion"? Does this mean you want fetuses killed?



    Yes, this way only those who prefer to break the law will be the ones with guns. Great plan.

    What do you have against the civilian populace having the ability to keep the government's power in check?

    What do you have against honest people having the means to fight back against criminals? Do you really believe that police officers come swooping in to save every person who ever faces a lethal threat from another person? That's a laugh. Why is ANYBODY ever killed, then, if the "protection" we get from the police is enough? Ever thought about that?

    It's nice to wish that no one used guns (or anything else) to murder people, but it's pretty naive to think that banning guns will ever keep it from happening. Hard to put the toothpaste back into the tube, you know.

    1.death penalty: has the minor difficulty of being irreversable, combined with the simple reality that no system of jurisprudence can ever be infallable, it is not rationaly desirable

    2.abortion: a form of euthinasia, preferable to being born as an unwanted child, preferably only as a last resort, lowering all human firtility accross the board is eminantly preferably, but imposing this decision by law, either for or agians is also irrational

    3.Gay Marrage: living arraingements and commintments are no bussiness of governemnt nor of any belief not shaired by all partners to it.

    4.gay abdoption: as with merrage, a matter of individul community and feeling

    5.Gun control: the fewer guns manufactured the fewer there will be in circulation and the less probability of being a victum of them

    6.assylum seekers: a free country with closed borders is a contradiction in terms. a truely free country would have no need of immigration control let alone border patrols

    7.communism/capitalism: how many people who use these terms have the slightest idea what they are talking about?

    there are no idiological panacea, and far from being opposites marxism and smithism are but two arbitrary points in a continuum that extendes infinitely in all directions

    300 years ago no one ever heard of either of them and 300 years from now no one will remember either of them

    personal incentive and altruistic support are not an either or but two wings of the same bird, neither of which are worth a dam without the other. neither guns nor little green pieces of paper however, need be any part of the equasion!

    1. Against. There are too many documented cases of us killing the wrong guy for us to rely on it as much as we do. Besides, if violence begots violence, is the death penalty really a great idea?

    2. Against for myself. I wouldn't have a surgical abortion. However, I wouldn't support a ban. The government should not take a stance on issues that are strictly moral in nature. Let the people decide what's right for themselves.

    3. The government shouldn't be giving out marrage licences. Instead EVERYONE should get civil unions, leaving marrage cerimonies up to religions and Elvis impersonators.

    4. Why not?

    5. Guns need to be controled, kept out of the hands of children and wakos.

    6. As long as we can provide for them, people should be able to seek asylum in our country.

    7. Socialism.

    no to death penalty,

    no to abortion

    gay marrage/gay adoption, no. my red neck influence says these folks need free phyciatry sessions not marage rights. But I see no isue between two cosenting adults living together, some sort of system needs to set up to recognize couples and allow tranfer of pention payments, and such.



    no to most gun control, i need to protect my self from gun welding wackos. the wacko dont care about obaying gun laws. But I believe gun owners are 100% responsible for thier weapons 100% of time. when a person is not in direct controle of a gun it should be desarmed , trigger lock atactech, and locked in a safe.
    if sombody picked up a gun that lying round loaded and used it in a crime. the owner of that gun should be held liable. The only exption beeing if the gun was blatenlty stolen. and in that case it should be reported to police.


    assylum seekers.. depends on what thier seeking assylum from, you cant put all of this this usue into one boat and set it off to sail

    on the commy/cappy isue i dont swing eather way. think a country need a mix of the two systems.

    1-5 are all sorta on the same principle, or at least my reasoning behind thems all the same. To have less fucking traffic. :H

    1. Death Penalty : yes
    2. Abortion: yes
    3: Gay Marrige: yes
    4: Gay Adoption: yes
    5: Gun Control: no


    6. Asylum: yes

    Here I'm breaking from my less traffic guidelines, but I figure the poor people need a place to live.

    7. communism/capitalism: I support a free market with some protections to ensure it remains a 'free' market. Communism doesn't work.

    I have a problem with the government imposing this form of 'absolute' punishment. The only way I'd favor it is if it was for [an] exteremely heinous offense. Such an example would be John Muhammad (the D.C. area sniper).

    I believe that we should work to reduce the number of abortions as much as possible. I'm not convinced that legislation it out of existence is the answer. Having said that, We need increased availiability of the best types of birth control possible so that abortion becomes much less necessary. I find it deplorable that the FDA drags its feet when it comes to approving new forms of birth control (as well as other drugs). I do favor legalized abortion in the first trimester but prohibited in the last trimester. I'm in the gray regarding the middle trimester. Abortions should not be funded by the Government. If an organization such as NARAL, NOW, Planned Parenthood or another group wishes to put aside a fund for needy women to pay for such a procedure, let them do it. For women who choose to keep a child and give it up for adoption, I also feel that groups which help these women should be allowed to exist as well.


    Government has NO business getting involved in individuals personal affairs. These affairs are to be agreed upon by the individuals themselves, and their church or whatever other party they chose to make the agreement with. This also applies to other living arrangements, as well.

    So long as the welfare of the child is not compromised in any way, I generally don't have a problem with this.

    Strongly opposed to! The only thing that gun control does is send the gun trade underground. Criminals will get their guns no matter what! I find too many similarities between the war on drugs and the war on guns!

    Generally, I do not have a problem with individuals seeking asylum here. A good friend of mine in the Libertarian movement came here from Cuba in the early 1960s. As long as they can contribute to the well being of our communities, let 'em in.

    Capitalism all the way! It's a shame that what is often misundrstood as being capitalism is really corporatism or corporate welfare. Capitalism in its purest form puts more wealth into the hands of more people. Look at Hong Kong before the Chinese gained soverignty. They had a thriving economy while under British rule. Corporatism or corporate welfare involves large companies leveraging the government to pass laws or to provide financial or other assistance to protect one's position in a given market, therby maintaining an oligopoly or monopoly in a given industry. Communism and totalitarianism goes even further by dictating what type of commerce can take place and who will work for what industries-not something I'd want to be subjected to!

    1.the death penalty
    Against. No one has the right to take the life of another no matter what the reason.


    2.abortion
    I don't like the idea of abaortions, but if you dont have abortions you'll have back alley abortions with coat hangers, etc., and that's probably worse than someone who knows what they're doing. Im still pro-life however.

    3.Gay marrige
    Totally for. Gays have just as much right to marry as anyone.

    4.Gay abdoption
    Well im for this, but i am concious of the problems it could cause. Kids go around thinking everyone has two mommies or two daddies. it could get a bit odd, but people need to start accepting gays better, then it will be fine. so yeah, im for it.

    5.Gun control
    I don't know about this one. Im definately anti-gun, but the constitution guarantees peoples right to bear arms. we're the ones who get upset over unconstitutional activites (patriot act, anyone?), so i think people should probably be allowed to have guns, though i would prefer if this never was in the constitutuoin.

    when they put america under martial law people are gonna need guns to defend themselves. i dont agree with violence or killing, but if it's your freedom that you have to fight for, you gotta do what you gotta do

    6.assylum seekers
    I cant see how anyone could throw someone out of our country knowing theyll be tortured to death or soemthing when their ship comes in. what kinda heartless bastard would do that?

    7.communism/capitalism
    The idea of communism is great, but is never done properly, and the people need to be willing or it's just a dictatorship. if the people truly realized that everyone can survive together on what they need and were willing, communism could be a great thing.

    as for capitalism, DOWN WITH IT!
