I believe we've never had a topic concerning the individual political views of all the board members, so in a way that won't provoke a flame war please tell everyone else about your views concerning military action, education, etc.

I'll post my views later, I have to leave right now.

I think the reason we don't have such a topic is because it will promote flame wars. Without fail.

Ah, I was wondering when we were going to open Pandy's box.

Yeah... one of the problems you face when doing something like this, also, is that in almost no situation does a simple message board have the ability to change something someone feels so strongly about. So really, the whole thing turns out to be pretty pointless...

Honestly I'm too lazy to post my views, I'll just wait until Mega X does and then quote them and argue with him.

I hate all opinions that make people act incredibly stupid.

There, I covered pretty much every political issue.

Shhhhhh don't tell anybody, maybe we can still make it.

Alright, let me start us off then:

I have a clearly defined view on oil and the economy[/b], and personally, I must inform you that it's going to take a lot to sway me on this opinion!

...Vague? What do you mean too vague? XD

Here's one that should have been closed early (although it never was). Certainly nobody changed their stance on anything because of it...

You get your opinion out, sure, but the most anyone can do is agree or disagree. Nobody's actually going to think any differently because of anything they hear here, I assure you.

And I don't know when I've ever seen an argument generate out of people's inability to change their political stances based on these topics. 9/10 is a huge stretch, to be sure.

I'm pretty much a conservative, just to stay on topic, since apparently it's going to stay open.

I'm about as right to the spectrum as you can possibly be.

So...uh...yeah.

I believe in alot of different things, but I don't know if I want to bother posting them. I will argue with someone if I see something I don't agree with.. but other then that, this thread will hopefully not degenerate into a sad flaming thread. >.>

Seen too many of those.

Hmm.. I think that if we killed the govt. I would have to take over. =P

I cast my vote for that.

My views = hilariously makes no sense either way.

I'm a unregistered party member, apparently. I am something of a moderate liberal... I do believe in rights for people except for those certain groups who need a swift kick in the rear demanding for rights that WRECK the rights of other people. (Especially since it also involves breaking laws... ex: Illegal immigrants. The "Illegal" is there for a reason. Why the hell should they get rights for breaking our laws in the first place?)

I don't think we should fight unless we actually get shot at ala Pearl Harbor. (I consider 9-11 to be up in the air because we did take on Aghanftism but we ran to Iraq near-immediately that we're dividing our soldiers between two countries. Great job!)
We should be spending our money wisely on budgeting and such. No tax breaks for the ultra ridiciously rich because that's just being too buddy-buddy for me. If anything, they should be paying more in taxes. (If you've got all that money and not using the excess for something intelligent, use it to fix the budget!)
** And at least actually support the educational system and make a plan for it that makes sense and works for /everyone/ not this silly "no child left behind" act which is actually leaving children behind.

No mudslinging for the love of waffles. I am so sick of both parties frequently mudslinging at each other. It only goes to show that both parties are willing to sink to lower than mud just to make the other look bad when they're making themselves look bad. *rolls eyes*

I don't know what else to add anyway. X_x I just try to listen to both views of parties and try to come to a reasonable balance. Heck, I've got few conservative friends and we do fight sometimes, but we do eventually come to accept each other's views. =P

Edit-- added the commentary about illegal immigrants. I just really hate the whole issue about it right now.

I'm talking more about how opinions tend to make a lot of people act really stupid.

Lemme say something.

I support the Patriot Act wholeheartedly.

Now let's get the ball rolling.

I'm not a good American.

I do this real stupid thing called thinking.

OH SNAP MEGA X SIC HIM.

Just saying he looks like a good target for you, Jesus McAmerican.

I don't fully support the Patriot Act, because it gives the government one more excuse to invade people's privacy, therefore violating people's unalienable rights.

Terrorists aren't usually registered members of the US, so they don't technically have any rights under our Constitution. So, arresting/deporting/beheading them would be no problem.

@RD: Yes, I fear I may be a horrible American also.

Illegal immigrants.. everyone we catch, we implant a microchip in them in some random place not easily taken out without severe risk of death. Build a big underground electrical fence, like the kind for dogs all around the country, and ship them back. Activate chip, have fried illegals. (Have specifics made up, just too lazy to keep typing on this subject.)

I believe wholeheartedly in what we are doing in Iraq. For what they did to us, we have every right to defend ourselves. Screw the oil, we would have gotten it one way or another. Either we can carpet bomb them, day and night, or nuke them and make a nice Walmart parking lot.

The people we are fighting don't care about themselves, or anyone else besides their own people. They believe that we should all die, because we don't believe what they do. They don't care about their own lives, and would gladly give them up for the good of 'Allah.'

I talked with SGT Hart, and he told me of Iraqi women cutting open their own babies in the dead of night, stuffing them full of C4, running up to troops and detonating the IED.

YOU CAN'T FIGHT AND/OR WIN AGAINST PEOPLE THAT WON'T SUBMIT UNTIL THEY ARE DEAD!!!!!

And it's not a small little 'radical islam' sect, it's all of them, people! Their whole religion is centered on 'killing the infidels.' WE are Infidels! They want to kill each and every single one of us, because their twisted religion has taught them that we are the devil.

I personally cannot wait to join up and kill as many of them as possible.

Rich people should pay more taxes, let them whine but it's only fair. No more mudslinging, it's just sad. Really.

Yeah, that's about it for now.

...so I take you watch alot of Fox News?
