1) For it
2) For it, until 3rd trimester and only after than in medical emergencies.
3) i 90% accept the "official story".
4) Of course.
5) Don't know.
6) Consenting adults may do what they please
7) privately delivered, with a public insurance scheme. Also private insurance plans to add on to the public one.
8] Build up that wall.
9) An illusion. Only expands government control over our lives for no reason and is functionally little more than a corporate welfare scheme
10) I'm a well rounded man. Those should be too. |

1. For. Why should they be free from everyone else's pain?
2. Pro-choice on a state level, nothing to do with the Feds.
3. 9-11 was an inside job. Duh.
4. Legalize it and outlaw booze. K, not really the last part.
5. Another way for corporations to dig into my pockets.
6. Legalize it and institute health checks. No brainer.
7. Public health care is the responsibility of the Feds. Why is this an issue?
8. Church is a relic as are all those who believe it isn't. Joke's on you.
9. War on terrorism = Feds doing their best to scare the bejesus out of America and further develop the militarization of the country.
10. Ass. Sooooooooooooooooooooo ass. |

1) If its good enough for breeders, its good enough for us Homo's!
2) As a gay man it shouldn't matter what I think about this issue. This is a medical decision between a woman and her doctor, no one else, especially not Republican Men.
3) 9/11 was blow back against the US for all it's tinkering in other people's affairs. There was no conspiracy.
4) All drugs should be legalized and government controlled. Any one over 18 should be allowed to consume whatever they want (in the privacy of their own home).
5) GW? Who knows, but humans are ruining our water supply, over populating the Earth and make the air unbreathable in our cities. These should be reason enough to shift away from fossil fuels.
6) Anything consenting adults do behind closed doors is there buisness. In Germany, Netherlands, and other places, regulated and unionized sex trade workers do well. Where its illegal women are abused, killed and the spread of disease is rampant.
7) It should be universal and we should tax things that cause problems (cars, smokes, drugs, hamburgers) to pay for it. Doctors and nurses should also become civil servants like the military or post office to keep costs low. Non-essential services should be private and for profit and open to competition.
The Church (and our faith) should be a private thing. The Church should stay out of our lives unless we choose it. If you want government funded religious education go to Pakistan or Saudi Arabia.
9) War on Terrorism, hard to win when you allow terrorists sanctuary in your own country (see Cuba and the Keystone Cubans of Miami).
10) On my bi days boobs are great but overall my natural proclivities point to the buttocks! |

1. Consenting adults should be able to enter into formal arrangements such as marriage if they so wish.
2. A woman should not be forced to support another emerging life if she feels she can not cope with it.
3. I find it hard to believe that a western government would connive for domestic catastrophe on that scale (though I'll allow for the possibility, but you'll need a hell of a lot of conclusive evidence to convince me). I do, however, deplore the way certain governments capitalised on it and used it to their advantage.
4. Drugs should be legalised, but regulated. There should be more public education about the dangers of drugs - without the hysteria or simpliciity of 'just say no.' There should be programmes to help people back into a drug free life. It should be treated as an issue of health, not criminiality.
5. The consensus among the scientific community is that this is an impending reality. Until I have a PhD in the relevant field, I'm not going to quibble.
6. Yes, prostitution should be legalised. It's much safer for everyone that way. And prostitutes should be treated with the same respect as other citizens.
7. There should be a proper safety net for all citizens. Good health care should not be just for the wealthy or fortunate.
8. Seperate of course.
9. Load of bollocks.
10. I prefer my men not to have breasts. |

(1) Gay Marriage |
Anything that pisses Muslims off is good in my book, but it's not an issue I take any personal interest in either way.
Abortion is often the kindest thing to do for all concerned. For. But anyone who has more than 2 should face state sterlization.
Quote: |
(3) 9/11 Conspiracy |
Reformed truther.
Quote: |
(4) Legalizing Marijuana |
For. Unlike addictive drugs like heroin and cocaine, whose legal distribution would be restricted, marijuana should be on open sale like the state of affairs in Amsterdam.
Quote: |
(5) Global Warming |
Humans and Co2 are causing it. There's an international concensus of thousands of scientists. That's good enough for me.
Quote: |
(6) Legalizing Prostitution |
I'm for it, I guess. Again though, like gay marriage, it lies completely outside my sphere of interest.
Type 'France's Model Healthcare System' into google.
Quote: |
(8 ) Church & State |
I support the total suppression of religion.
Quote: |
(9) War on Terrorism |
I support the brutal repression of Muslim extremists and any even vaguely connected country, but resent it very much because we fund it with our prohibition of opium products and reliance on Middle Eastern oil for our entire civilization, causing us to fund heinous religious states like Israel and Saudi Arabia.

1 I'm for it although obviously churches can have their own rules.

(1) Gay Marriage
For
(2) Abortion
Anti-abortion, but PRO-CHOICE. Her body, her choice.
(3) 9/11 Conspiracy
I remain unconvinced, although I wouldn't be all that surprised. Can't say I care much; it'd be hard for me to dislike the current administration more than I do already, and the damage is already done.
(4) Legalizing Marijuana
Mixed feelings. In the US West coast, the way thins are works pretty well. I don't really trust the government to do much better.
(5) Global Warming
Uh, I don't like it? I mean, being warm is nice, and all, but upsetting the ecosystem's balance can't be a good idea.
(6) Legalizing Prostitution
I have no opinion one way or another; I doubt it would affect me. If I were to vote on this issue, I'd do some research on the subject first. I know there are plenty of places with legalized prostitution, so data must be available.
(7) Health Care
US health care is reprehensible. I support genuine universal health care.
(8 ) Church & State
Each has its (own, separate, distant from the other) place
(9) War on Terrorism
Unwinable, absurd, self-defeating, short-sighted, counter-effective, obscenely wasteful, tragic.
(10) Ass-man or Breast-man
I strongly prefer women to any kind of man. |

(1) Gay Marriage
You should be able to marry any one or more people you want.
(2) Abortion
Until a fetus is viable outside the womb, go for it.
(3) 9/11 Conspiracy
The government was not involved in any level but they're certainly trying to cover up the fact they were simply asleep at the switch.
(4) Legalizing Marijuana
Put anything you want in your body.
(5) Global Warming
I'll go with the scientific consensus. Safe money bet is man is causing global warming.
(6) Legalizing Prostitution
Sure.
(7) Health Care
I'm for public health care with private health care for anyone who wants it.
(8 ) Church & State
Churches should pay tax. The government should not endorse or promote religion or fund it.
(9) War on Terrorism
A war the USA can't win.

(1) Gay Marriage
Civil unions by social security #
whether it is a marriage or not depends on opinion of the religious insitution.
(2) Abortion
It ought to be illegal but without any penalty
(3) 9/11 Conspiracy
People who want to slander the govt in revenge for the Iraq war or cause they resent the US govt.
(4) Legalizing Marijuana
Why not
(5) Global Warming
It is probably happening
(6) Legalizing Prostitution
Yes. Best way to protect public health
(7) Health Care
Health insurance ought to be tax deductable.
Most punitive damages go to the govt
Tort reform.
(8 ) Church & State
Keep them seperate
(9) War on Terrorism
1) Invest in alternative energy/ Nuclear Energy / and get better at getting oil.
2) Bases in the mideast
3) Fund a new generation of weapons
If the US manages to do all three the US is in a great strategic postion.
10)
Remove the CIA ban on assassinations. |

This is coming from an American.
(1) Gay Marriage - not sure; We can go back to Adam & Eve on this issue. The pursuit of happyness got pulled out of distortion a bit with this issue.
(2) Abortion - For. Yet only in extreme cases in which the mother was attacked and before the 3rd trimester.
(3) 9/11 Conspiracy - Did Bush and his skull & bones plan it all? Probably so.
(4) Legalizing Marijuana - Sure would cut down on the addiction and sale of other more dangerous drugs.
(5) Global Warming - Reusing and recycling can go so far. Business & government need to step up to the plate, i.e. the U.S. and EU.
(6) Legalizing Prostitution - Special districts wouldn't be a bad idea. Here the women could be tested. As per the casinos, put in place some sort of registration system so that, if there are any problems, the brothel owner can decide to go to the authorities.
(7) Health Care - nationalize the U.S system baby!!
(8 ) Church & State - keep it separate.
(9) War on Terrorism - U.S. needs to promote peace and care for it's own. National debt could be paid down with better management, a la the Clinton years. Use the international force, Interpol, the FBI, CIA, MI5, etc. to gather intel in tandom. All speculations of war should be discussed by the U.N. member states. Citizens at home need more privacy without the intrusion by the federal government. U.S. need to change it's Wild West peacekeeping philosophy and take care of it's own business.
(10) Ass-man or Breast-man - I'm not picky at this age. A good heart and average looks will do. |

(1) Gay Marriage
Personally, I'm against it. But not for the usual reasons. I think marriage is a religious issue and the government needs to get its hands out of it. That means getting rid of the special privileges of married couples and treating all people like people.
(2) Abortion
Again, I'm personally against it. But I'm male so it's not exactly something that can happen personally to me.
(3) 9/11 Conspiracy
Only an utter moron believes that there's some massive conspiracy other than the one in which Bin Laden's hijackers were involved. There is no government inside job and, yes, there really was an airplane that crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
(4) Legalizing Marijuana
I don't see the reason for it. I also don't see the reason for smoking tobacco.
(5) Global Warming
Yes, there is Global Warming. The US is not the Big Evil Bad Guy though. It's an international issue and all nations are involved in causing the problem.
(6) Legalizing Prostitution
Against it.
(7) Health Care
I think every country in the world should have an effective national healthy insurance system.
(8 ) Church & State
Should be separated as the US Constitution provides.
(9) War on Terrorism
Could be done better than it is now.
(10) Ass-man or Breast-man
Given the right lass to ogle, maybe both! |
