Welcome to Gaia! ::

I prefer a fusion of powers over a seperation of powers.

I'm a blow-up-the-white-house-and-start-over-again-because-we've-screwed-up-so-bad person. I'm not what you'd call pacifist.


By the way, I'm not a terrorist.

wow, even i dont think were that far gone.

As one that is currently confused about my religious position, I can not completely choose a side on whether my beliefs affect my political position; however, I can not go without saying that I absolutely dispise politics. I loathe debating and ranting and am constantly told by my parents that without politics I would not have the ability to speak up for my beliefs, and though I agree with them I must say that if I dont talk, I am sure someone with in the world in a similar political position will. I dislike watching the news that is constantly on in my household, which is probably the reason for sparking my contempt, and I am incredulous as to how individuals can argue about subjects for many months, if not years.

Here we talk of religious tolerance, but what about tolerance in general? For example, on the debate of the mention of God on coins, or in the pledge of alligance, I can only watch with disbelief and (somewhat) wonder as to how topics such as these come to surface. To grown adults arguing about being offended I can only say 'Suck it up. What happened to 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me?' Anyway, I guess one could call me hypocritical on the fact that I almost can not tolerate intolerance but I guess I would say that its just because of the mess of strenuous voices that are so annoying. But if thats the case, then I guess I am off topic! sweatdrop Sorry!

I will vote to support my beliefs. I just dislike debates and the constant strenuous voices when arguing. sweatdrop It gets annoying when your grandma has the television on the news hours after hours for days upon days. whee

Economic Left/Right: -6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.74

My position on that political compass is almost exactly the same as Gandhi, only a minute smidge more libertarian eek

I can't say much on where I stand with the American political system, since I'm Australian. But I pretty much always vote for the Greens, when possible. Political parties can argue all they want, but if we keep abusing nature we're going to REALLY see some things to whine about.

True. If everybody ran for office with a brown paper bag over their heads, we might get slightly more competent leadership.



But I just got finished with a debate on feminism!

Please tell me you're joking? A woman with the same qualifications and capabilities as a man runs for the same office as a man, and you'd vote for her (possibly less-qualified) opponent because of her gender? Do we need paper bags over genitals, too?

EDIT: I'm sorry. I was rude and disrespectful in my reaction. My only excuse is, I just got out of a prolonged debate in GD where one of the people with whom I was debating refused to respect me or my opinions, and I got so tired of trying to answer him respectfully and intelligently that the next statement I came across got the brunt of me being frustrated. Which really isn't a good excuse. I hope you'll accept my apology. If you were serious, why do you believe that women shouldn't run for office? (Any office? National office?)
