    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1 - Do you support Abortion completely, on some circumstances, or is it completely unacceptable?

    I believe that women should be able to have control over their bodies and do what they want. They'd hold be able to feel safe and supported, no matter what they choose. After her child is a certain age, there should be a restriction on abortions, as the procedure becomes unsafe.

    2 - Do you believe that the government is above the people?

    It shouldn't be. The government and the people are meant to work together. The government should not be "ruling" over it's people, but rather working with them.

    3 - Should women and men have completely equal rights?

    Of course!

    4 - Should Television Networks censor swear words?

    Unless there are young viewers expected to be watching, I don't think they should.

    5 - Do you believe Sex Ed should be taught to students?

    Yes. It's important to understand how the body works in order to take proper care of it.

    6 - Do you support Obama's oil plan for finding oil on the seashore?

    I'm not American and I know nothing about this but it sounds like a terrible idea.

    7 - Should the death penalty be used for the most serious crimes, or is it completely unacceptable?

    No. Ending another person's life is inhumane, no matter who they are or what they did. I believe in education and second chances.

    8 - Do you believe the rich are ruining the world?

    I don't know. I definitely think the US government's choice to spend billions of dollars on war, even though those billions are more than enough to obliterate world poverty, is definitely a poor choice. I don't know what else to say here though. I'm no really educated on this topic.

    9 - Should Animals be given human rights?

    No. They are not humans. They should have their own set of rights though.

    10 - Should a non-living fetus be given human rights, or does it restrict a woman's right to her body?

    If its non-living, then it's dead lol
    I'm not really sure what you mean here

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1 - Pretty much pro-choice in all circumstances. Though *personally* I think I would feel uncomfortable having an abortion myself, but my personal reaction has nothing to do with other people's rights..

    2 - Not really. The government is there to provide some kind of order but their primary purpose is to serve the population- they should be FOR and with the people, not above

    3 - Of course. Women, men, intersex, non-binary, everyone

    4 - Ehh...I'm leaning towards "no"

    5 - Yes! It's not taught thoroughly enough, in my opinion

    6 - I don't know enough about it, I'm not from the US

    7 - As a concept...I can see why people would support it. But I feel that the legal system is way too flawed to have the death penalty for anything and at the end of the day, what does it achieve? It certainly does not act as a deterrent

    8 - Yup

    9 - Not sure? I mean, I think events/activities involving animal cruelty and abuse should be stopped but I don't understand treating them like humans since they're not.

    10 - Well if you're talking about abortion, the fetus wouldn't be "non-living" or else there is really no ethical issue. And yeah, I think that the mother's right to her body trumps the fetus's rights

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1. Support 100%. Any woman should be able to control what happens to her body.

    2. F*** no

    3. I identify as a feminists. So yes = rights for all.

    4. It's up to the network. Children's channels should bleep the swear words.

    5. Oh yeah. Lots of it. Straight and gay sex ed. People need to understand sex. Not be afraid of it

    6. I'm not sure on this.

    7. Leaning toward it being acceptable. Under very very serious charges.

    8. I think some rich people help the world and change it for the better. Saying all the rest are ruining the world is not something I can judge.

    9. I never put thought into this. Maybe?

    10. I think at a certain point it should.

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1 - Do you support Abortion completely, on some circumstances, or is it completely unacceptable?
    Abortion with a good reason is fine provided it is done before the Third Trimester when the Fetus is essentially a viable human being.
    2 - Do you believe that the government is above the people?
    No, the Government is the servant of the people and derives its legitimacy from the people.
    3 - Should women and men have completely equal rights?
    Should people with Blue eyes and Brown eyes have equal rights? of course. All individuals in society should have the same rights and freedoms.
    4 - Should Television Networks censor swear words?
    It should be left to the discretion of the network, if its a children's network they probably will, but a network that broadcasts more mature television shouldn't be forced to censor anything.
    5 - Do you believe Sex Ed should be taught to students?
    Yes, Sexual Education is important as we don't want everyone getting syphilis and gonorrhea...
    6 - Do you support Obama's oil plan for finding oil on the seashore?
    No Comment on this as I have not read up on it.
    7 - Should the death penalty be used for the most serious crimes, or is it completely unacceptable?
    The Death Penalty is unacceptable as given the current state of criminology we still cannot be 100% certain the person we are killing is guilty and as such simply having long prison terms should suffice to punish guilty criminals while providing the opportunity for the innocent to exonerate themselves.
    8 - Do you believe the rich are ruining the world?
    Partially yes and partially no, but mostly no. The amount of clout given to lobbyists definitely is distorting the western political landscape and that is a problem. But for the most part the rich get rich through capitalizing on ways to improve economic efficiency around the globe and that is a good thing.
    9 - Should Animals be given human rights?
    A dog is not a human, a horse is not a human, a dolphin is not a human. If they aren't a human they don't get human rights.
    10 - Should a non-living fetus be given human rights, or does it restrict a woman's right to her body?
    Well once a fetus reaches a certain level of development/viability it should be accorded rights to life et cetera. Before that point in development though I don't consider the fetus to be a fully fledged human.

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1 - Do you support Abortion completely, on some circumstances, or is it completely unacceptable? Yes, completely, and I would support terrorism if abortion became illegal. People with uteri are not your slaves.

    2 - Do you believe that the government is above the people? No, it's questionable if government is even justified.

    3 - Should women and men have completely equal rights? Yes, and if that has to happen by force, so be it.

    4 - Should Television Networks censor swear words? Who the fuck cares?

    5 - Do you believe Sex Ed should be taught to students? Queer-positive sex education should be taught to all students.

    6 - Do you support Obama's oil plan for finding oil on the seashore? I have no position.

    7 - Should the death penalty be used for the most serious crimes, or is it completely unacceptable? Yes, the death penalty is justified in instances of crimes against peace or crimes against humanity.

    8 - Do you believe the rich are ruining the world? No, my neighbors are ruining the world.

    9 - Should Animals be given human rights? No, and I am quite irritated how much political energy goes into it. Non-human animals do experience suffering and do have interests we must respect. However, not all of those interests enjoin us to protect them all the time.

    10 - Should a non-living fetus be given human rights, or does it restrict a woman's right to her body? The fetus has no moral considerability. Only the body of someone with a uterus is morally considerable. If you guys want, I can go on at length about my complete burning hatred for any position at all that:

    1. criminalizes people for seeking medical procedures while pregnant,
    2. criminalizes drug use for people who are pregnant,
    3. forces a person with a uterus to give birth at a certain time or manner, such as forcing a cesarean section, or
    4. criminalizing pregnant people who have accidents.

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1 - Do you support Abortion completely, on some circumstances, or is it completely unacceptable?

    Doesn't effect me, but to quote bicentennial man. "One does feel bad for them"

    2 - Do you believe that the government is above the people?

    Haha, no. . . Though it does has it place.

    3 - Should women and men have completely equal rights?

    Yep. That means no alimony, and men should have an equal shot at keeping the kids.

    4 - Should Television Networks censor swear words?

    If they want.

    5 - Do you believe Sex Ed should be taught to students?

    Sure.

    6 - Do you support Obama's oil plan for finding oil on the seashore?

    I'm not sure, I haven't heard about this. Though I was upset about the denial of the keystone pipeline.

    7 - Should the death penalty be used for the most serious crimes, or is it completely unacceptable?

    It should be used and improved, lets give China a Run for it's money.

    8 - Do you believe the rich are ruining the world?

    No?

    9 - Should Animals be given human rights?

    Er no. Though they should be treated humanly.

    10 - Should a non-living fetus be given human rights, or does it restrict a woman's right to her body?

    Do you mean a late term pregnancy? If late term, then yes. It's murder, and you're a murderer if you kill this person. If a fetus can survive outside the body, it's a person. Nothing anyone could say will change my mind on this. The only way I could ever condone abortion, at this point; is if the mothers life was in danger.

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1 - Do you support abortion completely, in some circumstances, or is it completely unacceptable?

    I unreservedly support abortion. I should have no say in the matter, nor is it fair to judge them while pretending I respect choice; to make something difficult socially, but not illegal, is still not allowing real choice.

    2 - Do you believe that the government is above the people?

    Yes and no. Do I believe professional economists should manage economies, diplomats diplomacy and lawyers law? Absolutely. I want a professional bureaucracy, not a so-and-so from God knows where dictating how things should be run without the education to do so. Said so-and-so is within every right to become a politician, but not a bureacrat who deals with the practical management of government. A government is not above its people, but I would like people to give due respect to the role of governments and the fact that we all have limitations to our knowledge. Pen-pushing is rather important, and the complexity of government means that nobody could ever be educated in all issues it deals with, hence the importance of bureaucratic hierarchy. Government should be about practically enacting the wishes of the people (or telling them why said wishes are unreasonable or self-defeating).

    3 - Should women and men have completely equal rights?

    Yes. That includes diminishing the power of men and filling in that disproportionate influence with that of women. You can say you believe in equality all you want, but you need to actually put effort into rectifying the problem.

    4 - Should Television Networks censor swear words?

    No. There's hardly any point. I'm fine with children's TV avoiding swearing, but there's no good reason for popular media to fail to reflect how language is really used.

    5 - Do you believe Sex Ed should be taught to students?

    It's dangerous not to do so.

    6 - Do you support Obama's oil plan for finding oil on the seashore?

    I know very little about it, but I'd rather that any money spent on new energy sources be put into renewables, much like Germany's plan over the next few decades (which is still a little lax).

    7 - Should the death penalty be used for the most serious crimes, or is it completely unacceptable?

    Absolutely unacceptable. I'm firmly convinced that it's ineffective, and it's acknowledged as a breach of human rights for the most part. I think there needs to be a larger effort globally to abolish it.

    8 - Do you believe the rich are ruining the world?

    Yes, but it's not as if they're doing so alone. Wealth leads one to having more direct control over damage, but there are plenty of people who hardly benefit from social and environmental destruction who cheer it on, horrifically misguided.

    9 - Should Animals be given human rights?

    Human rights are very specifically based on human needs, social structures and other things which no other animals have. It'd be absurd to protect language rights for animals when we have no control over that. Animals ought to be protected under stricter anti-cruelty laws and I believe that industrial-scale farming is both brutal and environmentally catastrophic, but human rights are generally not transferable to animals.

    10 - Should a non-living fetus be given human rights, or does it restrict a woman's right to her body?

    Absolutely not. You can claim whatever personal beliefs you like, but I still am going to find it hard to believe that you're not a misogynist if you seriously think that a woman should have less control over her body than you in choosing whether the foetus is more important than her.

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1 - Do you support Abortion completely, on some circumstances, or is it completely unacceptable?

    I've really tried to be open-minded about this issue but I'm simply not okay with abortion. I think it's acceptable if the pregnancy is a significant threat to the mother's health, but otherwise I'm against it. The thought of willingly ending a life to avoid a difficult situation is plain wrong to me.

    2 - Do you believe that the government is above the people?

    No, although in practice it can be self-serving at times.

    3 - Should women and men have completely equal rights?

    Yes.

    4 - Should Television Networks censor swear words?

    I believe that should be a decision left to each individual network, not something mandated by law.

    5 - Do you believe Sex Ed should be taught to students?

    Absolutely.

    6 - Do you support Obama's oil plan for finding oil on the seashore?

    To be honest I'm not very educated about this, but I don't think so. In general I'm against causing severe harm to the environment to drain a finite resource. I don't even really mind higher gas prices (unless it's due to tax) as I think if prices rise it will escalate development on better alternatives.

    7 - Should the death penalty be used for the most serious crimes, or is it completely unacceptable?

    My position on this has evolved over time, but I'm against it. Juries make mistakes and it ends up costing far more to execute somebody than it does to give them a life sentence. There are some people who I believe are not worthy of life, but I'm not comfortable with the idea of us choosing to take it away from them.

    8 - Do you believe the rich are ruining the world?

    No, though I do believe that the level of financial inequality has become too extreme.

    9 - Should Animals be given human rights?

    I'm not entirely sure what kind of rights you're talking about here, but probably not. I do think the punishment for animal abuse should be harsher though.

    10 - Should a non-living fetus be given human rights, or does it restrict a woman's right to her body?

    I believe a fetus has the right to continue on the path to birth. I reject the notion that it violates a woman's control over her own body because at that point she's not only affecting herself.

    Edit: I'm not going to be very popular after this one.

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1 - I support it completely.

    2 - They have the power unfortunately.

    3 - Yes

    4 - No, a word is a word

    5 - Yes, safe sex should always be promoted.

    6 - I'm Canadian I don't know.

    7 - Completely unacceptable, an isolated prison sentence (for life) would be more ideal.

    8 - No

    9 - Animals shouldn't be given all of the same rights because some wouldn't apply but they do not deserve abuse ever in any circumstances.

    10 - A non-living fetus isn't alive. It's a cluster of cells. Why should it have rights?

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1 - Do you support Abortion completely, on some circumstances, or is it completely unacceptable?

    I support a person's right to choose whether or not to carry a fetus to term but I would urge anyone capable of getting pregnant to do whatever is possible to prevent unwanted pregnancies or plan their families so abortion isn't something they have to go through unless absolutely necessary.

    2 - Do you believe that the government is above the people?

    It shouldn't be. Ideally, government should belong to the people but that's not always the case.

    3 - Should women and men have completely equal rights?

    Um, of course. If you're a legal adult in this country, sex and/or gender shouldn't be a barrier to the rights you're able to enjoy.

    4 - Should Television Networks censor swear words?

    If a television show is designated for audiences over the age of 13, then no.

    5 - Do you believe Sex Ed should be taught to students?

    Yes. Without proper, inclusive Sex Ed, we make it that much harder for teenagers and young adults to make smart, well informed decisions about their bodies and sexual activity.

    6 - Do you support Obama's oil plan for finding oil on the seashore?

    Not something I'm too informed on, unfortunately, so I can't really answer that conclusively.

    7 - Should the death penalty be used for the most serious crimes, or is it completely unacceptable?

    I find it unacceptable. While there are certainly many crimes I would personally love to see receive the death penalty, it's an earmark of an older time and life in prison with no parol should work just fine.

    8 - Do you believe the rich are ruining the world?

    I definitely believe we, here in the US, have a huge problem with income inequality. However, would I say they're "ruining the world"? Not necessarily.

    9 - Should Animals be given human rights?
    Nope. Animals aren't sentient. While I believe animals should be treated with dignity, they're not human nor sentient beings. I eat meat as well and I believe one can eat meat while still allowing animals to live as natural a life as possible.

    10 - Should a non-living fetus be given human rights, or does it restrict a woman's right to her body?

    No. Like I said before, anyone capable of getting pregnant should have full autonomy over their bodies. And until a baby is born, I wouldn't consider a fetus "alive".

    ...but I'm going to say something that might be a little controversial. I don't personally support abortion as something I, if I was ever in that situation for whatever reason, could ever do.

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v



    1. I am a 100% supporter of Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America. I definitely believe that a woman has a right to an abortion during her first trimester (up to 24 weeks), but after that, abortions should only be given for rape, incest, life of mother and fatal fetal defects.

    2. The Government is of the people, by the people, and the government and its people should be on equal levels, and can have checks and balances.

    3. Yes. Men and women should be able to live as pure equals in society today.

    4. No. Child Censor Controls should be available to parents, but words on TV in original broadcasts should not be censored unless a Parent activates Censor Controls.

    5. Yes. We should teach comprehensive sex education throughout adolescence, and it should be LGBTQ+ inclusive.

    6. No. I believe we should invest in more renewable energy sources, like solar and wind energy.

    7. The death penalty should only be for the most serious of crimes, such as war crimes or crimes against humanity. Every other major crime should be life with no parole, except in very gruesome circumstances.

    8. In some ways yes, and in some, no. Sometimes, capitalism has been a good idea in the US, but at other times, it has made such a disparity in wealth that it makes it nearly impossible to jump up the social ladder.

    9. For the most part. I believe that animals should not be tortured or used in cosmetic experimenting, but I also believe that the consumption of meat should still be allowed.

    10. No. A woman should remain her full bodily autonomy even when she is pregnant.

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1 - Do you support Abortion completely, on some circumstances, or is it completely unacceptable?

    Support completely.

    2 - Do you believe that the government is above the people?

    Depends on what you mean by that, exactly. But for the most part, no, it shouldn't be above the people, though many governments act as if they are.

    3 - Should women and men have completely equal rights?

    Yes.

    4 - Should Television Networks censor swear words?

    No.

    5 - Do you believe Sex Ed should be taught to students?

    Yes.

    6 - Do you support Obama's oil plan for finding oil on the seashore?

    Honestly, I don't know enough about the plan to have a say in the matter.

    7 - Should the death penalty be used for the most serious crimes, or is it completely unacceptable?

    Completely unacceptable.

    8 - Do you believe the rich are ruining the world?

    Some of them, but they're not the only ones ruining the world.

    9 - Should Animals be given human rights?

    "Human rights?" I don't know about that, but I will say that I believe that the rights/laws/protections that we grant to animals should be taken just as seriously as human rights.

    10 - Should a non-living fetus be given human rights, or does it restrict a woman's right to her body?

    No.

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1 - Do you support Abortion completely, on some circumstances, or is it completely unacceptable? I support abortion only in instances of rape, incest, or if the mother's life is in danger.

    2 - Do you believe that the government is above the people? No, but this is an ambiguous question.

    3 - Should women and men have completely equal rights? Yes.

    4 - Should Television Networks censor swear words? Depends what time of the day and the swear words being used.

    5 - Do you believe Sex Ed should be taught to students? Yes.

    6 - Do you support Obama's oil plan for finding oil on the seashore? Yes.

    1 - Do you support Abortion completely, on some circumstances, or is it completely unacceptable?

    To be honest anyone who thinks it should be illegal is either blind, ignorant or evil. I can understand and empathize with mixed feelings on the subject, or not supporting it entirely, to an extent, but those who would intentionally deny a woman her right to bodily autonomy, and force the child onto a parent(s) that obviously can't or won't support it anyway, are sadly mistaken if they think they understand the first thing about "Morality." The bottom line, when it comes to abortion, is that if you think it's a choice for you to make for everyone else, you're wrong.

    2 - Do you believe that the government is above the people? I see no reason believe a bunch of old boring people are above a much larger, younger and angrier bunch of people.

    3 - Should women and men have completely equal rights? i support equality for every gender

    4 - Should Television Networks censor swear words?I'm fine with shows being written with the age of it's target audience in mind, but Censorship usually just comes off as lazy and annoying. The more it alters the meaning and impact of the original writing the more it bothers me.

    5 - Do you believe Sex Ed should be taught to students? yes absolutely

    6 - Do you support Obama's oil plan for finding oil on the seashore? sure why not

    7 - Should the death penalty be used for the most serious crimes, or is it completely unacceptable? I used to support it, but the more I think of it the more it sounds like a waste of money.

    8 - Do you believe the rich are ruining the world? humanity is ruining the world, the rich just have the capacity to do more damage I guess

    9 - Should Animals be given human rights? I believe animals should be given Animal Rights, and people should respect those rights and not be douchebags

    10 - Should a non-living fetus be given human rights, or does it restrict a woman's right to her body?

    I think i already answered this

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1 - Do you support Abortion completely, on some circumstances, or is it completely unacceptable?
    I support abortion completely, but I think that for women in a healthy relationship, ie the partner is not abusive or anything like that, the other person should have a right to put their input in. I still think its the woman's choice in the end, she' the pregnant one.
    2 - Do you believe that the government is above the people?
    I don't think I understand this one. I don't think that government officials should be above the law if that's the question.
    3 - Should women and men have completely equal rights?
    Yes. Although, i guess not completely, for example a man can't go into a women's athletic league and vice versa.
    4 - Should Television Networks censor swear words?
    No.
    5 - Do you believe Sex Ed should be taught to students?
    Yes. And not the bullshit they teach even in public schools. Teach kids, don't scare kids.
    6 - Do you support Obama's oil plan for finding oil on the seashore?
    I don't know enough/anything about it to say.
    7 - Should the death penalty be used for the most serious crimes, or is it completely unacceptable?
    Death penalty for rape, homicide, and terrible crimes like that. I don't believe in treating people humanely after they destroyed the lives of others, the family and friends of their victim.
    8 - Do you believe the rich are ruining the world?
    No. Some rich people certainly aren't helping it though, such as the billionaires who fund terrorists.
    9 - Should Animals be given human rights?
    Animals are not humans, animals don't get human rights.
    10 - Should a non-living fetus be given human rights, or does it restrict a woman's right to her body?
    A fetus in a woman should be treated the same way you'd treat her arm or any other body part. As far as the law should be concerned, its another one of her body parts.

    Re: I'm just dropping in some questions to know some more about you guys' political v

    1 - Do you support Abortion completely, on some circumstances, or is it completely unacceptable?
    100% supportive!*

    2 - Do you believe that the government is above the people?
    Well, I guess it is, in a way. But that shouldn't be the case. They should be there for us. =]

    3 - Should women and men have completely equal rights?
    Is this question even for real? XD Of course they should have equal rights!!

    4 - Should Television Networks censor swear words?
    Hahaha no!! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Sure, it shouldn't there in children shows, or at least, not very bad ones. =) But that's up to the parents, to decide what things are inappropriate. For adults, I see absolutely no reason at all to censor swear words.

    5 - Do you believe Sex Ed should be taught to students?
    Yes, it's important that they know. =]

    6 - Do you support Obama's oil plan for finding oil on the seashore?
    Excuse my ignorance, I don't know what this is about. =|

    7 - Should the death penalty be used for the most serious crimes, or is it completely unacceptable?
    Completely unacceptable.

    8 - Do you believe the rich are ruining the world?
    No, that's a generalisation.

    9 - Should Animals be given human rights?
    I don't really know if all human rights even can apply to animals. But I think they should be treated as humanely as possible. =)

    10 - Should a non-living fetus be given human rights, or does it restrict a woman's right to her body?
    It's a woman's right.* =)

    * The person should be able to give the baby a good life, to be able to care for him/her as much as she can. If she can't do that, or if she knows she won't be able to fully care for her baby, she has the right to decide in my opinion. =)
