I support privatizing it completely, so...
IMO:

Hitler went too far
Stalin should have killed less people
Nelson Mandela was a good person
A mandatory death penalty for littering would probably be a bad idea

since several people have mentioned cars, here's one:

The left lane shouldn't just be for cars going 15 mph over the speed limit. There shouldn't be a problem with slower drivers using it.

awhile back i sort of entertained the idea of replacing it with an annuity system. but from what i read the transfer costs would be much higher than just raising the cap.

In a world of poverty and malnutrition,I don't think it would be wise to do that, and there will be a massive shortage of foods.

Not that I don't think it's a stupid idea, but animal rearing is an extremely inefficient form of agriculture, due to land use, trophic levels and etc. If anything we need to kill less animals ifbwe are go be serious about feeding the world's poor.

Meat grown in vats will let us eat meat sustainably. Hopefully people get over the initial squick over the idea.

As for views furthest from the mainstream, I recall around half the social liberals here supporting legal polygamy (not including myself). That would be out of the mainstream, although I doubt it would be a priority for any of them.

As an Illinoisan, I consider this to be by far the most offensive thing in this thread.

-Ban the income tax entirely (it's technically theft as mentioned above)
-Punish abortion in the exact same way as first-degree premeditated murder
-Ban public consumption of cigarettes and cigars
-Age limits are discriminatory (and, yes, I'm an adult), but there needs to be something keeping a 4-year old from voting randomly (I'm not sold on a tax or a test, so I don't know how)
-In an ideal world, I would ban alcohol, but that is not economically realistic
-Repeal educational privacy laws (students should have access to the grades of their peers)
-Ban gay adoption (for the sake of the kids)

More cultural, but:
-I am really concerned by how many people have "casual s*x" or "one night stands"
-I am not convinced that transgenderism is a real thing
-Everything should be "Merry Christmas", not "Happy Holidays" (I'm fine with an additional mention of Hanukkah)
-I think that no one should ever get drunk or high
-The largest group of modern-day racists is the Black Lives Matter movement, and the largest group of modern-day sexists is the Feminist movement

Two more that I forgot:

-I believe that the free market requires all forms of gambling to be legal and unregulated
-I don't think that animals should have any rights

So you think I should be able to buy dogs so that I can just beat the sh^t out of them?  That's just uncivilized.

So should we legalize bestiality because animals have no rights, and legalize prostitution because we need a truly free market?

Balanced Budget Amendment

Um.... Universal healthcare without the health "advisory board" and no individual mandates or government ownership of companies. Basically DeanCare.
