Stem research: Ok, but only using natural aborted fetus.

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

But where will we get our inspiration for the thug-life?!

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).

Respond with : supporting, not supporting, undecided

Your opinion on:

Same sex marriage: The concept freaks me out, but call it civil union and I'm fine.

Same sex adoption: That's messed up.

Legalizing marijuana: Sounds somehow wrong. I don't really want to legalize it. But then again, I don't even like the idea of legal tobacco. (Smoky rooms really mess with my allergies. Ban them all!)

Euthanasia: Never.

Stem research: Controlled and severely limited, if at all. Disincentivize the commercialization of harvesting embryos/zygotes.

Capital punishment: Never.

Legalizing Prostitution: Bad idea.

Abortion: Only for people of a different ethnic group as me. j/k Honestly, disincentivize in the tax code so it doesn't have to be so lucrative. I actually buy the argument that this is an unneccesary death in more cases than not.

Wow, I'm way more conservative than I thought. Why the hell am I voting for Obama?

Abortion:


P.S. Cutlass your smiles work better than my method....so ill just gonna shamelessly steal them

Same here!

Although many of them aren't as clear as to give a big . Like euthanasia or legalizing marijunana. I would be against those if it weren't done in a very careful way.

 

[downtown]

I honestly don't understand why people don't support pot being legalized.

For me:
a) Its a gateway drug, whereas cigs are not.
b) The idea that we could legalize and tax the hell out if it doesn't hold a whole lot of water for me...since it isn't hard to grow it on the DL now, people will still continue to do so to escape the tax.

We could go about using our legal resources in a more efficient way when it comes to prosecuting people who smoke pot though.

 

[I'm Cleo!]

downtown,

Here's why I think marijuana is considered a "gateway drug": 1, it's the easiest drug to get ahold of, so if someone's inclined to do drugs, they're probably going to do marijuana first; 2, it has the least social stigma associated with it, so if someone's inclined to do drugs, they're probably going to do marijuana first; and 3, the same authorities who rightly say that crack is going to destroy your life consider marijuana use on the same level, and when someone realizes that they're not similar, they question the validity of the claim about crack. I just don't know if it's been shown that marijuana abuse causes harder drug use. Like, there's always going to be one "easiest drug to get ahold of," and if you eliminate one, the next one becomes the "gateway". It's not that marijuana is a gateway drug, so much as it happens to be the gateway drug.

Moreover, I don't think its "gateway" properties are a justification for its criminalization -- I'm sure tobacco and alcohol present just as strongly as "gateways" to harder drugs; it's just that Partnership for a Drug-Free America is the lobbying arm of the tobacco and alcohol companies, so they're never going to point that out. I think Eric Schlosser made a pretty good argument in Reefer Madness that marijuana's illegal because it grows as a weed in all fifty states, so nobody could ever make money off it, and the alcohol and tobacco industries would suffer unimaginably if it were freely available. I think the preponderance of delightful pilsners throughout the Netherlands belie some of the reasoning behind that, but there's nobody to spend money to lobby Congress to legalize it -- all the money goes one way (towards maintaining its criminalization).

Now, I agree that it could be problematic to legalize it completely. It certainly is an intoxicant (or whatever the technical term is), and it would be dangerous to let everyone have it all of a sudden. And I agree with you that the way we go about prosecuting that part of the Drug War is just poor. I just don't think the "gateway" thing is a valid argument.

You of course realize that these things neither conservative nor liberal make. If you want to know about that, you should've asked questions about authority, freedom of speech, family structure, and respect for traditions.

Respond with : supporting, not supporting, undecided

Your opinion on:

Same sex marriage:

I think a marriage performed by a judge should certainly be legal. However, if a specific church or religion wants to abstain from performing them, that's well within their right to do so.

Same sex adoption:

I've never heard a good argument against it.

Legalizing marijuana:

I don't really care either way, but if they do legalize it, they'd better tax the hell out of it.

Euthanasia:

With consent, yes.

Stem research:

Without question yes.

Capital punishment:

Without question no.

Legalizing Prostitution:

I think that, if they do legalize it, there should be legislation restricting it to certain areas, or at least barring it from certain areas. Of course, a state-run sort of deal, with a health clinic or something like that would be in everyone's best interest, but that'll probably never happen.

Abortion

:

I can understand where and why an abortion would be needed or wanted, and I think it's well within their right to get it, but it should be performed by a licensed doctor or surgeon, and of course those doctors should have the right to restrict or deny it, should the procedure prove to be dangerous to the health or life of the mother (I'm referring mainly to restriction being after quickening, and denial should be an option after viability, but again, on a case by case basis; the first trimester should only be with medical consultation). So yes, I support it.

This really is only a survey of how SOCIALLY liberal/conservative some is...

[Cannae]

Hmm... I must be a rarity among the lefties and people in general. It seems that I am the only one who would support the increase of capital punishment.

 

[Leonel]

Same sex marriage: Probably would be okay with. At least have some kind of respectful ceremony. (Not wearing fishnets and g-strings like in some parades)

Same sex adoption: If the kid grows up okay, sure.

Legalizing marijuana: Sure why not. Just don't light up where cigarettes are banned.

Euthanasia: Only on the patients request and after a seriously long consultation.

Stem research: I think they can extract stem sells from adults now so that shouldn't be a problem.

Capital punishment: Only for extreme offenders (aka sodomizing and burning a school bus full of children) while expressing no remorse or even pride over the act.

Legalizing Prostitution: Sounds okay. More income tax money to spend on stuff.

Abortion: Only up until the fetus can feel pain. (there was a thread that described a solution that would burn the fetus and it would recoil) I read somewhere the church in medieval days said anything before 10 weeks was okay.

Support.

Support.

I define myself as a strong conservative, but I'm also atheist. This does influence a good portion of my decisions.

I'm an Atheistic Conservative.

More Details on each:

Spoiler :

Same Sex Marriage: (Do Not Support) I am wondering how much money the government would have to spend re-writing the tax and other laws. Also, the equipment don't match. Just like a magnet, North and North (or South and South) don't go together. It's biologically incorrect.

Same Sex Adoption: Support only because some parents are better than none. But generally I'd prefer having a mother AND father (i.e. female mother and male father).

Legalizing Marijuana: (Do Not Support) I fail to see how legalizing this would be beneficial.

Euthanasia: (Generally Support) If the person wants to die, and their quality of life is so poor they can't do the things they want, and are in great pain, ease their suffering. I believe there should be an equal amount of quantity and quality, thus, if the quality is barely existent, let it end (if the patient so chooses).

Stem Cell Research: (VERY STRONGLY SUPPORT!!!!!!) This is a benefit to all mankind on so many levels. Many, if not all, diseases would be wiped out, organ and blood shortages would be nearly non-existent, and it could be used to increase peoples standards of living.

Capital Punishment: (Support) If the person has murdered somebody intentionally and this is corroborated by the DNA and other evidence, then yes it should be allowed.

Legalizing Prostitution: (Do Not Support) Again, I fail to see how legalizing this would be beneficial. Are you that desparate for sex? Sex is good, but paying a lot of money for it? Just go to a strip club or buy some porno. Or perhaps, even better yet, get a spouse!

Abortion: (Support) If the baby can't maintain homeostasis outside the womb (obviously not get it's own food and go to the bathroom, etc), then it is not alive. It can't live without life support, it's not alive. But I do believe you should make the decision early. Terminating at 9 months is well beyond stupid.
