5. Should we pull our troops out of Afghanistan?
Eventually, but I'm guessing you mean now/soon, so no.

Illegal

Adult stem cell search should be legal.  Embryonic should not.

Imprisoned... for much longer than they are now.

mixed economy leaning toward laissez-faire.  There's always certain times when we may need some government intervention.

Equal rights - absolutely.  However, the ability to enter into a homosexual marriage is not a right.

16. Should we pull our forces out of Iraq?
Eventually, yes, but not all right now.

17. Should gay marriage be legalized?
Should be up to the states to decide.

What the heck?

Whatever they want... which appears to be the status quo.

Territory

25. Should the US Virgin Islands become a US state, become and independent country, or remain a US territory?
Territory

26. Should the US Minor Outlying Islands become US states, become and independent countries, or remain US territories?
Territory (normal)... they could never become a state.  And independent countries would just be pointless.

27. Should we make Iraq a US state?
No (normal)

28. Should we make Afghanistan a US state?
No (normal)

29. Do you think WikiLeaks should get shutdown?
Any servers in the U.S. should.  But we shouldn't be in the business of shutting down servers in other countries.  Now, if we want to bomb the servers with hits and drive up the bandwidth usage, that's fine.

Where it's wasting money, yes.

31. Should the government make stronger efforts to stop illegal immigration, especially from Mexico?

Depends what you mean by that

45. Should the government offer free college/university education?
No - see above

46. Should tobacco be made illegal?
No

47. Should alcohol be made illegal again?
No

48. Should the government keep secrets from and lie to it's citizens?
Yes... it's a necessary part of government.  Obviously this should be minimized, but there are some things people really don't need to know.

49. Should classified and top secret documents be declassified?
Immediately... no

50. Should the government take greater steps to promote political awareness among teens, so they know how to make better informed political decisions?
No - that's not the job of the government, but private organizations

No... it should focus first on returning to the moon.

57. Should NASA set-up a colony on Mars using their proposed one-way trip system?
Eventually, a colony should be formed; however, NASA is not in favor of the one-way trip system, and they did not propose it.

58. Should nuclear weapons be banned globally?
No

59. Should nuclear power be actively used in the United States?
Yes

60. Should teenagers (from 13 to 19) be given the same rights and privileges as adults?

61. Should we allow private military contractors to continue to exist?
Yes; however, we generally should not use them.

62. Should the government and military work to help stop and prevent genocides, civil wars, and other atrocities happening around the world, such as in Africa?
In general, our involvement should be limited and only used when necessary.

63. Should research into cloning be conducted?
No

64. Should we close the Guantanamo Bay prison?
I really don't care... it doesn't matter where we hold them, as long as we hold terrorist somewhere.  If we torture them here or there, it's wrong... torture shouldn't be used.  But closing Guantanamo doesn't automatically mean stopping torture.

65. Should Guantanamo Bay become a US state?
No... what the heck?  That wouldn't even be possible.

[Frodo]

1. Should the government should prohibit gun ownership by private citizens?

Assuming these are normal law-abiding citizens we're talking about like you and me, most definitely not.

2. Should Marijuana should be legalized?

Yes -I would go as far as saying that we should bring an end to the Drug War entirely.  


3. Should the death penalty be abolition?

I assume you meant to say 'abolished'.  And my answer in either case is 'no'.  


4. Should the government control, regulate, and ban video games, including banning video game sales to teens?

Normally I would say no, but I have so little faith in parents nowadays that as with sex education, I think government does need to step in.  


5. Should we pull our troops out of Afghanistan?

Undecided.


6. Should abortion be legal or illegal?

It should be left to the states to determine for themselves.  And if it were up to me to determine what state I most want Virginia to emulate when it comes to birth control and abortion, it would be a state like Washington.  


7. Should stem cell research be legal?

Yes.  Though I would draw the line when it comes to human cloning.  


8. Should criminals who sexually assault and/or rape children under the age of 13 be killed, castrated, chemically castrated, or simply imprisoned and registered as a sex offender?

The latter -rape is not driven by sexual desire but a lust for power.  If the rapist is castrated, he is likely to use a pipe or some other object instead.  

9. Should the police get money directly from tickets or should ticket money be put in with other government spending?

The latter.


10. Should the police have a monthly/weekly quota of tickets that they must meet?

No.


11. Should we stop Iran's nuclear weapons program?

It would be nice if we could get them to stop, but if worse comes to worse then a strategy of containment is eminently more palatable than a bombing mission and/or an outright military invasion.


12. Should we liberate North Korea and install a peaceful democratic government?

Only if they launch a Pearl-Harbor style attack on South Korea.  There is no use in conquering the peninsula in its entirety and bringing the ROK border up to the Yalu if the average citizen in South Korea is not on board.  


13. Should the government give money to failing businesses in order to keep them from going bankrupt?

I supported TARP when the Bush administration begged Congress to pass it, and I still support it now.  Hopefully the financial regulatory reform law passed by Congress earlier this year will enable us to avoid that option -assuming it is fully funded and implemented.  If not, we're right back to where we started.  


14. Should the government control the economy (command economy), should the government never intervene in the economy (laissez-faire), or should the government intervene in the economy only when it is necessary (mixed economy)?

The third option like most normal people would.


15. Should lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered individuals be given equal rights as straight individuals?

Absolutely.


16. Should we pull our forces out of Iraq?

I have no objections to keeping a minimal garrison there.


17. Should gay marriage be legalized?

Not by the Supreme Court.

18. Should we recognize the independent nation of Kosovo?

No.

19. Should we recognize the independent nation of Azerbaijan?

Yes.


21. Should we recognize the independent nation of South Ossetia?

No.


22. Should Puerto Rico become a US state, become and independent country, or remain a US territory?

The choice is theirs, not ours to make.  But I would prefer if they chose statehood.


23. Should Guam become a US state, become and independent country, or remain a US territory?

I prefer the status quo.

24. Should American Samoa become a US state, become and independent country, or remain a US territory?

Ideally, I would prefer if it joined with the independent nation of Samoa.


25. Should the US Virgin Islands become a US state, become and independent country, or remain a US territory?

Status quo.


26. Should the US Minor Outlying Islands become US states, become and independent countries, or remain US territories?

Status quo.


27. Should we make Iraq a US state?

No.

28. Should we make Afghanistan a US state?

No.


29. Do you think WikiLeaks should get shutdown?

Yes.


30. Should the government minimize it's military spending?

Yes -but it ought to be careful how it does so to ensure that any decrease in overall defense spending does not adversely affect our overall readiness.


31. Should the government make stronger efforts to stop illegal immigration, especially from Mexico?

What it's doing now is enough.


32. Should citizens of the District of Columbia be granted full voting rights?

No -it should be retroceded to Maryland if they want voting rights so badly.  And if they don't like that option, then I am perfectly happy with the status quo.  


33. Should New York City become it's own state, an independent country, or remain part of New York?

Remain part of New York.


34. Should the United States create a North American Union with Canada? If so should we allow Mexico to join?

No -I prefer the status quo.


35. Should the government censor books, movies, and other entertainment mediums?

No.


36. Should it be made illegal to deny that the Holocaust happened or to claim that the government is responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks?

No.

37. Should the government offer free broadband internet to all citizens, like Finland does?

No.

Yes.


39. Should the government shutdown 4chan, just /b/, or neither?

What?

61. Should we allow private military contractors to continue to exist?

Yes.


62. Should the government and military work to help stop and prevent genocides, civil wars, and other atrocities happening around the world, such as in Africa?

Only if such horrors impact our national interests.  Otherwise, no.  


63. Should research into cloning be conducted?

Only for animals -not human beings.


64. Should we close the Guantanamo Bay prison?

No.


65. Should Guantanamo Bay become a US state?

No.


66. Should the United States become imperialist again, but this time we make the places we conquer become permanent US states?

No.


67. Should the world unite under a democratic world government that is just like the United States, but governs the entire world?

[they don't love you like i love you]

11. Should we stop Iran's nuclear weapons program? Neutral.

1. Should the government should prohibit gun ownership by private citizens?  no


2. Should Marijuana should be legalized?  yes


3. Should the death penalty be abolition?  yes  (I'll assume you meant "abolished")


4. Should the government control, regulate, and ban video games, including banning video game sales to teens?  no


5. Should we pull our troops out of Afghanistan?  yes.  well most.  advisors should remain, if requested by the local government, along with a small group of elite special forces given the authority to kill with impunity


6. Should abortion be legal or illegal?  legal


7. Should stem cell research be legal?  legal


8. Should criminals who sexually assault and/or rape children under the age of 13 be killed, castrated, chemically castrated, or simply imprisoned and registered as a sex offender?  if convicted, they should be imprisoned and receive counseling.  the guy in this article should also receive counseling

http://wcfcourier.com/news/local/article_e011ef8a-02cd-11e0-b4ca-001cc4c002e0.html


9. Should the police get money directly from tickets or should ticket money be put in with other government spending?  no.  nor should they have quotas for citations


10. Should the police have a monthly/weekly quota of tickets that they must meet?  ah, that was the next question.  I should have predicted that.  well, anyway, no.


11. Should we stop Iran's nuclear weapons program?  I do not think it is possible to do this.


12. Should we liberate North Korea and install a peaceful democratic government?  I do not think it is possible to do this.


13. Should the government give money to failing businesses in order to keep them from going bankrupt?  no.


14. Should the government control the economy (command economy), should the government never intervene in the economy (laissez-faire), or should the government intervene in the economy only when it is necessary (mixed economy)?  no.


15. Should lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered individuals be given equal rights as straight individuals?  yes


16. Should we pull our forces out of Iraq?  most.  advisors should remain, if requested by Iraq, along with a small group of elite special forces given the authority to kill with impunity


17. Should gay marriage be legalized?  yes


18. Should we recognize the independent nation of Kosovo?  no


19. Should we recognize the independent nation of Azerbaijan?  maybe


20. Should we recognize the independent nation of Jonathanland?  maybe


21. Should we recognize the independent nation of South Ossetia?  no


22. Should Puerto Rico become a US state, become and independent country, or remain a US territory?  only if it wants to.  according to the most recent poll, only about 40 percent want it to become a state and only about five percent want it to be a separate country.  The majority of puertoricans want the status quo, so it should remain a commonwealth of the United States.  


23. Should Guam become a US state, become and independent country, or remain a US territory?  see above


24. Should American Samoa become a US state, become and independent country, or remain a US territory?  see above


25. Should the US Virgin Islands become a US state, become and independent country, or remain a US territory?  see above


26. Should the US Minor Outlying Islands become US states, become and independent countries, or remain US territories? see above


27. Should we make Iraq a US state?  no


28. Should we make Afghanistan a US state?  no


29. Do you think WikiLeaks should get shutdown?  yes


30. Should the government minimize it's military spending?  yes


31. Should the government make stronger efforts to stop illegal immigration, especially from Mexico?  It is not possible to stop illegal immigration, especially from mexico.


32. Should citizens of the District of Columbia be granted full voting rights?  yes


33. Should New York City become it's own state, an independent country, or remain part of New York?  remain as is


34. Should the United States create a North American Union with Canada? If so should we allow Mexico to join?  depends heavily on the terms.  Canada and Mexico have vast natural resources, and there could be advantages of such a union, but in all liklihood they would have exceptions as a precondition to such a union.  And they would not want to be colonies anyway.  Also, the empire seems already to be straining under its own weight, so adding large colonies does not make sense at this time.  And equal-rights unions force us to accept their terms, so that wouldn't make sense either.


35. Should the government censor books, movies, and other entertainment mediums?    no.  and more than one medium would be called "media"


36. Should it be made illegal to deny that the Holocaust happened or to claim that the government is responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks?  no.  In fact, too much speech is already being made illegal in the name of political correctness.  Madison must be rolling over in his grave.


37. Should the government offer free broadband internet to all citizens, like Finland does?  I do not believe that this exists.  no such thing as "free internet" exists.  all attempts at organization come at a measurable, finite entropy cost to the universe.  the government may decide to use its revenue to provide such communications.  This may be justifiable.  I'd have to study the costs and benefits before answering that.


38. Should the government increase it's power to enforce internet laws and put a stop to internet crimes?  well, that'd obviously be one of the costs associated with a "yes" answer to #37.  If the government owns it, then it can justifiably regulate it.  My intuition tells me that it's not a good idea.  


39. Should the government shutdown 4chan, just /b/, or neither?  no


40. Should 13 year olds be given universal suffrage?  no.  The voting age, in fact, should be raised to about 30.


41. Should the drinking age be lowered to atleast 18?  yes.  the drinking age should be lowered, even below 18 probably.


42. Should church and state remain separate?  yes


43. Should we allow a mosque to be built next to Ground Zero?  yes, if someone wants to build one, obtains the permits, and pays for it.  It should be noted that there is no current plan to do this.  There is, however, a plan to build an Islamic cultural center a few blocks from Ground Zero.  This should be allowed as well.


44. Should the government offer free healthcare?  no.  Again, nothing is free.  But especially no to this one.


45. Should the government offer free college/university education?  nothing is free.  The government may want to consider adding taxpayer-funded, post-secondary education to its public schooling, but that's a state matter, to be decided by the People through their legislatures on a state-by-state basis.


46. Should tobacco be made illegal?  no


47. Should alcohol be made illegal again?  no


48. Should the government keep secrets from and lie to it's citizens?  probably


49. Should classified and top secret documents be declassified?  some should be.  not others


50. Should the government take greater steps to promote political awareness among teens, so they know how to make better informed political decisions?  yes.  again, the states should, as it falls under public educational policy.


51. Should public schools bring back the ability to beat their students and force them to wear school uniforms?  no to the corporal punishment.  up to states regarding uniforms.


52. Should we allow weapons in space?  definitely


53. Should the United States join the International Criminal Court?  yes, in fact we should probably control it.


54. Should the age of consent be lowered to 13?    ooh, that's tough.  it's artificially high now, but 13 is really getting low I think.


55. Should Julian Assange be tried in court for sexually assaulting (and raping) women and for releasing top secret government and military documents to the public?  rape charge is none of my business.  that's between his lawyers and the swedish authority.  As for the wikileaks, I don't know enough about it.  Lots of folks are saying it's espionage, but I'm not sure.  I'm not a lawyer, so I really have no expert opinion.


56. Should NASA work harder to accomplish goals such as making first contact, building space ships, and colonizing other planets?  definitely.  At least in theory, but they just don't have the budget, and we probably can't afford it.


57. Should NASA set-up a colony on Mars using their proposed one-way trip system?  see above


58. Should nuclear weapons be banned globally?  I do not think this is possible.


59. Should nuclear power be actively used in the United States?  yes


60. Should teenagers (from 13 to 19) be given the same rights and privileges as adults?  no


61. Should we allow private military contractors to continue to exist?  yes


62. Should the government and military work to help stop and prevent genocides, civil wars, and other atrocities happening around the world, such as in Africa?  probably, but it's expensive and I'm not sure we can afford it.  Also, it becomes politically motivated and we start playing favorites and it gets to be an intractable mess and we end up sending thousands of young American men and women to die for causes that most Americans know nothing about.


63. Should research into cloning be conducted?    yes


64. Should we close the Guantanamo Bay prison?  maybe


65. Should Guantanamo Bay become a US state?  no


66. Should the United States become imperialist again, but this time we make the places we conquer become permanent US states?  I'd vote no


67. Should the world unite under a democratic world government that is just like the United States, but governs the entire world?  I don't think the world wants that, and I don't think that we have the moral authority or the economic ability to push for that.

[Oakvale]

1. Should the government should prohibit gun ownership by private citizens?

I think so. Things are different in the United States, of course...

2. Should Marijuana should be legalized?

Sure, why not?

3. Should the death penalty be abolition?

Abolished. Yes.

4. Should the government control, regulate, and ban video games, including banning video game sales to teens?

Nah.

5. Should we pull our troops out of Afghanistan?

What, ever? Yes. Today? No.

Legal.

Yeah.

8. Should criminals who sexually assault and/or rape children under the age of 13 be killed, castrated, chemically castrated, or simply imprisoned and registered as a sex offender?

Imprisoned, registered as a sex offender. I can see the advantages of chemical castration, mind you.

9. Should the police get money directly from tickets or should ticket money be put in with other government spending?

Probably put it in with other government spending. Seems to be the wisest option.

10. Should the police have a monthly/weekly quota of tickets that they must meet?

Troll question!

11. Should we stop Iran's nuclear weapons program?

Obviously, yes. As soon as it becomes necessary.

12. Should we liberate North Korea and install a peaceful democratic government?

As tempting as that sounds, does the idea of "China" ring any bells? Not sure how politically feasible that would be. More to the point, North Korea can't have that long left to exist, surely.

13. Should the government give money to failing businesses in order to keep them from going bankrupt?

Depends. If you want a yes or no answer, I guess I'd say "yes", since I'm not opposed per se.

14. Should the government control the economy (command economy), should the government never intervene in the economy (laissez-faire), or should the government intervene in the economy only when it is necessary (mixed economy)?

Mixed economy is the only really sensible option.

15. Should lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered individuals be given equal rights as straight individuals?

Well yeah.

16. Should we pull our forces out of Iraq?

I have to admit I'm a little nervous at the date the Obama admin's set - it seems some what premature, but I don't want to see the coalition forces in Iraq for a thousand years or whatever McCain said.

Sure.

18. Should we recognize the independent nation of Kosovo?

Yeah.

19. Should we recognize the independent nation of Azerbaijan?

Again, you'd need to elaborate.

35. Should the government censor books, movies, and other entertainment mediums?

Nah.

36. Should it be made illegal to deny that the Holocaust happened or to claim that the government is responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks?

Undecided. Lean no, but I can certainly understand the rationale in France, Germany etc.

37. Should the government offer free broadband internet to all citizens, like Finland does?

Not at the moment. The time may come when it's considered a near-right.

38. Should the government increase it's power to enforce internet laws and put a stop to internet crimes?

Yeah.

39. Should the government shutdown 4chan, just /b/, or neither?

Yeah, that'd be awesome.

57. Should NASA set-up a colony on Mars using their proposed one-way trip system?

Again, awesome.

58. Should nuclear weapons be banned globally?

Nah.

59. Should nuclear power be actively used in the United States?

Absolutely.

60. Should teenagers (from 13 to 19) be given the same rights and privileges as adults?

Nope.

61. Should we allow private military contractors to continue to exist?

With a dash more regulation and oversight, if at all.

62. Should the government and military work to help stop and prevent genocides, civil wars, and other atrocities happening around the world, such as in Africa?

Uh, yeah. I honestly can't really see how someone can disagree with this. Maybe I'm a secret neocon.

63. Should research into cloning be conducted?

Yeah.

64. Should we close the Guantanamo Bay prison?

I guess.

65. Should Guantanamo Bay become a US state?

2. Should Marijuana should be legalized?

Cannabis makes you lie around and do nothing except giggle. Alcohol makes you act like an asshole towards other people and tobacco causes lung cancer. I think the bizarre position is that of Western society, not me.
