Do any of you like to have debates about politics? Things like, should cannabis be legalised, should there be more strict laws on drinking, should all police officers have a gun, gay parents adopting etc. ?

I'd just like to know :p and maybe some of your views
 
lol, ur one month to late >.<
we had a few about bush/kerry b4 the elections

any ways...
cannabis shouln't be legalized, in fact tobacco should be on the same lvl
drinking.... the age should be lowered here in the States
cops with guns.... well cops here have m16s and m4s in the trunks of thier cruisers and i think they should
gay parents adopting... well... well.... have to real opion on that
gay marriage... shouldn't be legalized

NoPeace - out
 
weed should stay illegal
drinking age doesnt really matter (alot of places here sell anything to anyone)
cops should cary assault rifles
gay parents shouldnt be able to adopt
gay marriage should not be legal
 
whenever im of legal age im going to start my own political party, then im going to run for governor. then i'll run for president.

my views:
- Cannabis Legalization. I am not for this.
- Marijuana Legalization. Currently, marijuana is sold in an unsafe state. Drug dealers lace the marijuana with different things that arent natural to the drug. I believe that if marijuana is legalized, it will be safer and we will live in a better world. However, there would be a huge tax on this marijuana.

- Cops with guns. I believe that cops should only have a colt, nothing more.
- Weapon Restrictions. Machine guns and submachineguns need to be outlawed once again. You can walk down to your local gun store at the moment and buy an M4A1 carbine. Isn't this country fighting terrorists? You do not need an AK-47 to hunt deer. I would ALSO put a tax on ammunition to discourage murder.

- Gay Marriage. I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. Thats as simple as it is.

- Drinking. If anything, I think the age requirement on drinking needs to stay the same or be raised. Lowering the age requirement would cause teenagers, new to driving, to drink. There would be a higher accident and death rate in the United States if this occured.

- Taxes. There is a certain tax in the United States that takes 10% of income from the poor, and only 5% from the rich. I would make this tax 10% on both sides. This would give the government millions of dollars a year more and help pull us out of national debt.
Also, if I were elected into office, the SECOND I got in, I would repeal the 2% tax cut on the rich. That has cost the government 67.8 BILLION dollars a year. The rich do not need these tax cuts.

- Minimum Wage. I believe minimum wage should remain the same. Raising the minimum wage to 7.50$ an hour would cause the economy to inflate.

- Oil. I support drilling in ANWR.
- Gas Prices. If I were put into office, I would immediately write a bill that limits the maximum gas price. We have this for things like electricity, why not gas? Gas prices cost some people over 300$ a week. Thats THOUSANDS of dollars a year.

- Perscription Drugs. Here is a comparison to a certain prescription drug sold in the United States compared to two other countries. Canada sells this drug for approximately 125$ a bottle. The United Kingdom sells the same drug for approximately 129$ a bottle. The United States, however, sells this drug for approximately 421$ a bottle. That is INSANE. I would instantly pass a bill on a price limit for Rx drugs.

- Health Insurance. Citizens of the United States should be on the same plan as the plans used by Senators and Congressmen.

Now, would I make a good president or not?

Disagree - If A Man Loves Another Man He Is Not Freaky Or Strange. If He Wants To Show His Love For Another Man By Marrying Him, Then Why The **** Not? Just Because Someone Or Someones Faith Doesn't Believe In Homosexual Marriages Then Why Do They Inforce There Bullshit Analogies On Us?

Gas Is Over Taxed Because We Have Not Enough Gas To Last Us Another 200 Years At The Rate In Which We Consume It. Gas Is A Natural Resource And Would Take Millions Of Years To Regenerate The Supply We Had. Electricity On The Other Hand Can Be Made Using Cleaner Methods, Which Do Not Take Up The Earths Natural Resources
Such As Solar Power, Hydroelectricity, Wind, Geothermal Etc.
If The Price Would Go Down On Gas, People Would Use More, Waste More And End Our Resources Alot Faster.


- Health Insurance. Citizens of the United States should be on the same plan as the plans used by Senators and Congressmen.
You Talk About The Taxes Being Raised As It Is To Allow More Government Funding To Get Themselves Out Of Debt, Yet Enforcing This Bill Would Cost The Government BILLIONS of Dollars As Year. It Costs The UK Something Like $80,000,000,000 (I Think Thats The American Billion) To Maintain The NHS. With The Size Of America, And Its Poor Health Problems Regarding Weight And Pollution, I Would Guess We Could Multiply That Cost By 20x To Have The Same Plan As The Congressmen Etc.

What Should Be Done Is The Congressmen And Senators Should Not Have A Different Better Plan Than The Rest Of The Country, But Be Made To Pay For It.
God Knows They Can Afford It.

Agreed, should both be illegal.

100% disagree, last thing they need is 16 year olds driving around drunk, at least this way it happens less.
Gay Marriage. I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. Thats as simple as it is.
That's nice, and people shouldn't be born retarded, or without working legs, yet it happens and we help them to have as a normal life as possible, no change should be made for gay people, fact is that there are people who feel trapped in the wrong body and get surgery to change their sex, and there are people that simply got an attraction to the same sex, now we should also give these people as much of a normal life as possible, marriage is one of them, and they should also be allowed to adopt, test have shown that childeren from a gay marriage don't have a bigger chance to be gay, and they will have a normal life just like kids of 2 parents or 1 parent for that matter, although there are ofcourse a few things they want to know at some age, but they happen now aswell with single parent childeren or adopted childeren.

Marijuana Legalization - If marijuana is legalized you'd have a lot more addicts (look at tobacco or alcohol) and then a lot more kids smoking oit at younger ages.

Gay Marriage - people were not made to work that way so why encourage it saying it's not only tolerble but ok and should be accpeted by everyone.

Health Insurance - should stay how it is.
 
i believe weed on its own should be legal
it should be sold in chemists

health risks are slim to none
its in ready supply
just requires a little education

personally i doubt id smoke any if it was legalized but i feel it would be a good descision
 
People Where Made The Breed. Full Stop.

We Are Animals Basically, Animals Breed And Prolong The Species Existence.

We Wasn't Intended To Make Computers, Make Cars Or Go Into Space.
So Why Do We Encourage This?


I See Nothing Wrong With Gays At All. You Love Who You Love, Its That Simple. Denying Someone Of Showing There True Affection For Someone Is Nothing Short Of Oppresion.


*Marijuana In Itself Is Not Addictive, Mixing It With Tobacco Is, It Produces A Sub-Chemical Smoke Which Your Body Grows And Yearns For Give Due To The Nicotine*
 
Gays I can tolerate I don't think they should be banned from choosing they way they want to live but I don't think their lifestyle should be encouraged by allowing them to take part in ceremonies that were intended for a man and a woman.

And what will stop people from mixing it? (Marijuana that is)

Ah well, the drug thing seems to have really worked in america, and yeh, i talked about the bush/kerry thing with teachers in school, and in general studies, it's fun, we just have massive class debates and we have to spontaniously choose a side :)

Considered the downsides of alcohol? 250 000 people in the UK die of it a year and nearly treble that number get liver cancer. Funny, because there have been no recorded fatalities of cannabis overdose and whilst under the influence you don't get as agressive? What makes you think that alcohol is needed to have fun? Tried the herb? If you didn't like it, don't stop other people from smokin it :3dflagsdo .

cops in the UK don't carry guns, theyre not allowed.

Gay parents - no shouldn't adopt, society not ready for change.

Gay marriage, **** that, pardon my french, but no. Don't allow it, it'll turn people gay for christ's sake

How The **** Will Legalizing Gay Marriage Turn People Gay? Think Before You Post

i would not prefer to be adobted by gays omg For Shame!!! :|
 
People don't choose to be gay, they are born that way, think about it, all your life (if you are straight anyway) you were attracted to girls/women, why exactly? And why are girls attracted to guys? It doesn't really make sense, yet for some reason we still are, why? Because it's in our nature, now with my examples before nature isn't perfect, errors are made, things go wrong, you know no one is perfect, question is ofcourse what is perfect, it's something we don't really know, still what we know is that if everything goes right then you are straight.

Now it doesn't go always right, so someone is born gay or bisexual, they are attracted to the same sex or both sex's, now we can tell them go and act like a straight person, but would that make someone happy? You know my father has a friend and we are 100% sure he is gay, this guy is about 60 now, he has lived his whole life alone, why? Because when he was raised being gay was simply not accepted, and even though times change now, a part of him still lives in that time, and he will die without ever having a relationship, now that's sad.

When someone is born retarded, or can't walk or anything, then we try anything to help them, they get care, if they can do certain jobs then we adapt things to make it for them to be able to work etc, but when they are gay for some reason people still try to make it for them real hard, you know they can't help it that they are gay, and so what if they are, do they hurt you, do they hurt anyone close to you? Gay people simply get in a relationship with another gay person, or a bisexual person ofcourse, and they have a normal life, just like everyone else, sure they are of the same sex, and that's not how it's supposed to be, but many things aren't, but what is supposed to be is that we have a happy life, and if they are happy that way then who are we to tell it's wrong?

Now marriages were there to connect 2 people, it was never about connection 2 straight people, they always said to connect 1 person to another, and that's how it should be.

Just ask yourself this, is it fair that 1 person can't marry a other person just because they are off the same sex, is that really fair that you deny that to someone just because they are born that way even though they don't hurt anyone with it, and it makes them more happy?


Btw for the people who think you can become gay and that your not born with it, it's not a fact yet that you are born with it, but they done alot of checking with many thousands of people all over the years gay, bisexual and straight, and they can find no connection to why one is gay and the other is straight, and they checked for everything, parents, the role of their parents, their friends, brothers, sisters, other family, where they grew up, how they grew etc etc, they can't find anything.
 
Which is also bullshit, as it's all because of the position of their countrys towards the sun, if you take Africa for example the sun shined always strong their, the skin of the people there got darker because of it, and their childeren were born darker and darker, they were born with a skin that could handle the sun better, they evolved simply to resist it better.
