Same sex marriage: For- anything else seems like discrimination based on sexuality

Same sex adoption: I see nothing wrong with that; having same sex foster parents must surely be better than growing up in an orphanage, not matter how well run it is

Legalizing marijuana: Though I'm not into that kind of thing-, I see nothing wrong with it's legalisation. If it's legalised the government can monitor and regulate it's quality, ensuring it's none too harmful- and of course, it can be TAXED

Euthanasia: Supportive, but only in select cases (largely the terminally ill who agree to go through with it)

Stem research: I'm not especially in support, but I'm not exactly foaming at the mouth at the thought of it...

Capital punishment: Largely against in theory- but some people just can't be rehabilitated due to the seriousness of their crimes. Is keeping them permanently incarcerated kindly than just killing them outright? It's certainly less economical...

Legalizing Prostitution: I suppose if it was legalised, again it could be regulated and taxed. Always with the regulation and taxation

Abortion: I'm largely in favour of it, but it usually leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I think how long the child is allowed to develop before it's culled. as long as it's done as quickly as possible I have little objection.

And of course, if it was illegal it would still go on, but unregulated (if only it could be taxed...), a la backstreet abortions

looking back on that, I started by thinking it was liberal- but then there's so much talk of taxation and big government, it sounds more socialist :shifty:
 
Since these two terms can be so easily misunderstood, misjudged and used in a wrong manner, instead of asking you of your political/religious/moral standings, id like you to fill this survey for me (if you care)
I barely care. And I think your survey is horribly biased and one-sided and has loaded questions and ignores a number of important issues and is generally horrible! :p But I'll fill it in anyway. ;)


Same sex marriage: Undecided for a given value of "marriage".

Same sex adoption: Not supporting

Legalizing marijuana: Supporting as long as alcohol and tobacco are legal; if I were asked to vote on the whole bunch of stimulants, I'd be undecided.

Euthanasia: Support the right to do so, not supporting doing so

Stem research: Undecided, too vague

Capital punishment: Not supporting

Legalizing Prostitution: Supporting, but not supporting pimping

Abortion: Undecided until you give me more space to write my answer
 
I barely care. And I think your survey is horribly biased and one-sided and has loaded questions and ignores a number of important issues and is generally horrible! :p But I'll fill it in anyway. ;)

Well thats why i said that if you have any other "topic" you would like to discus, just put it in your survey.
It was to late, and i was to tired to really think about all the dilemmas in the modern world, so ive chosen the most "famous" ones.

Plus when i think about terms "liberal" and "conservative", i think of them more as a "moral" terms, than political/economical/social.
 
Same sex marriage: Should be allowed, non issue for me.

Same sex adoption: Should be allowed, non issue for me.

Legalizing marijuana: Allowed, but tax the living crap out of it, and make the same restrictions apply to this as would tobacco. I think it's silly to be wasting our time with this when we should go after hard narcotics instead. If I had control, the first thing I would want to be gone is alchol as it's the most damaging.

Euthanasia: Should be allowed.

Stem research: Should be allowed, if the cells come from an umbilical cord or non fetus related things.

Capital punishment: Greatly in favor, in most cases, when the person is unable to be treated and cured of their problem, or they have done something that's unforgivable. When someone does something unforgivable, they must be given the eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Some ex samples of things I conceder to be unforgivable are the killing or severe harming of animals unless it is for substance hunting, rape, or extreme assault.

Legalizing Prostitution: Should be allowed, it's silly tiring to control it.

Abortion: Despite being disgusted at the practice, I think it should be allowed due to the amount of people that are already alive could be adopted or in cases of rape, incest or death to the mother. The mother in the end does have the choice however.
 
Same sex marriage:Supporting, unequivocally

Same sex adoption: Supporting, supporting, like all adoptions the exact circumstances have to be taken into account

Legalizing marijuana: Supporting. Be realistic, its never going to be stamped out and the tax made by selling it legally would be very useful. Its as harmless/full than alcohol.

Euthanasia: Supporting, obviously circumstances will dictate

Stem research:Supporting, unequivocally

Capital punishment: supporting, for certain muder and sex crimes

Legalizing Prostitution:Undecided. Leaning towards supporting, as it would eliminate pimps, the lowest form of life

Abortion: undecided.

Same sex marriage: :nono:

Think about what marriage is In all cultures (that I know of - I'm pretty sure someone will find some obscure culture that's different), marriage is a union between a man and woman to create the next generation, and live out their lives together. Marriage isn't something to be taken lightly. Of course, in today's liberal world, it's "everthing goes, because it's humanly (physically) possible". Just because it's possible to do something, doesn't make it right. It's also immoral. You can rationalize it away if you want, but you're only turning your head away from the truth.
What makes it immoral?

Same sex adoption: :nono:

I wouldn't approve of it. It's taking a child into an immoral lifestyle. Plus, the child's gonna wonder where they came from, and will ask questions why they have two mommies or two daddies.
Again, what is immoral in it?

Legalizing marijuana::nono:

Why? So more people can get high? Even if it's for "medicinal uses", the risks outweigh any benefit.
It does have some real medicinal uses, but I don't support legalising it.

Euthanasia: :nono:

Killing off the old people will only lead to a slippery slopes of killing off babies born with disabilities -- hmm, wait, that's already being done. (abortions)
What if they [old people/with terminal diseases] want to die? Do we have a duty to live?

Stem (cell) research: :nono:

As long as it comes from cells of an unborn baby that's killed (harvested) for their cells, then no.
IV fertilisation causes that, I suppose you oppose it too. When does an embryo become human? I think it's a bit naive to think that fertilisation does it, as it's a bit like ranking human lives and all other animals the same moral value. You can do it, but there's always the but.

Capital punishment: :nono:

No, except for the most severe and extreme of cases.
What would make killing right? All punishments are sometimes given wrongly, and this is the only irreparable one. Also capital punishment is a really justified punishment only with the assumption of life after death, which mustn't be assumed by the justice system.

Legalizing Prostitution: :nono:

Ummm... why? Must be a male thing. :p
Slave trade and organised crime are heavily connected with prostitution. Increase in prosperity results in decrease in prostitution, showing that many people wouldn't be prostitutes if they could gain money with other ways.

Abortion: :nono:

Absolutely not! There's other alternatives, like giving up the baby for adoption. There can be support in schools or whatnot when a pregnacy does happen. (It's never "unexpected", because when you choose to have relations with another man, it's bound to happen) Also, abstinence over condoms. Condoms is another nono.
How about criminally caused pregnancies? Rape, incest? Some people would get abortions anyway, and die because of that. And what is wrong with condoms?
10 char...
 
Well as long as others don't interfere it's possible.

What? Whaddaya mean? Is this a public forum where anyone can participate in a discussion between me and someone else? Oh ****!
 
Same sex marriage: Supporting, in the sense that the state should provide this service. Churches should be able to discriminate if they want.

Same sex adoption: supporting

Legalizing marijuana: supporting, as it would bring in much needed tax revenue, lower marijuana prices, and make drug use safer. It would also put drug dealers out of business.

Euthanasia: supporting

Stem research: supporting, unless you're snorting fetuses

Capital punishment: not supporting

Legalizing Prostitution: unsure

Abortion: unsure
 
Same sex marriage: Not supporting

Same sex adoption: Not supporting

Legalizing marijuana: Not supporting (but honestly am not going to lost any sleep if it is legalized. But while it is illegal, punish law breakers bad)

Euthanasia: Not supporting

Stem research: Supporting non-embryonic wholeheartedly

Capital punishment: Supporting ( but again, if the good people of Missouri decide they don't want it anymore...meh )

Legalizing Prostitution: Not supporting, though I do support the caning of pimps.

Abortion: Not supporting the mass murder of innocents

* Environmentalism: Would love to be supporting, but aligning myself with the groups that seem to embrace this issue would require me to take a cleansing bath several times a day. Why is it all the vocal environmentalists all seem to be whack jobs? That said, I am a member of a few non-political environmental groups.
