[FalKoopa]

Well here's a thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/gun-control-laws-in-the-usa.280129/
IMO I'm anti-gun control and I have my reasons.

 

[_Keno_]

Can we make new threads instead of reviving ancient ones? Maybe link the old ones or something in the op if there is one.

 

[FirestormNeos]

Do I smell the smell of a /pol/tard?

No, just an annoying teenager who thinks using the dialect of a website they don't go to is funny.

Guns are the last line of defense to a tyrannical government. There's a reason why it's in the Bill of Rights.

Now should we have SMG full auto machine spaghetti shooting guns accessible to the public? Not so much.

ANSWERS IN BOLD UNDERLINE


let me know if y'all need more details, i summarized everything to 1 or 2 sentences pretty much



Abortion- Pro-life or Pro-choice?

pro-choice....

Affirmative Action- refers to policies that take factors including "race, color, religion, gender, genetic information, sexual orientation or national origin" into consideration in order to benefit an underrepresented group "in areas of employment, education, and business", usually justified as countering the effects of a history of discrimination. (hijacked from wiki)

still support it....when you gotta change your name from Jose to Joe on your resume just to get phone calls...in 2014? yea we aint done with racism just yet in AmeriKKKA

Biometric National Identification- National ID containing thumbprint, retina scan, DNA marker tester or other bio-identifier For more Information go here it sums up a lot of the complex issues with here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometrics

after Dubya Bush's presidency and the Patriot Act, we might as well...but i dont approve

Cloning- The use of embryionic tissue to create life, such as specific organs or specific people. Usually for research

Research but only if the results are made to the public when they discover something benefical

Death Penalty- The taking away of life as punishment for a crime

for the most heinous of crimes

Euthanasia/Mercy Killings- Allowing someone to die or killing them to remove pain and suffering

not sure

Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Expression- The right to express yourself, through language, speech, and art, with as little supervision as possible
support all the way

Genetic Engineering- Changing, removing or enhancing DNA to create modify or fix a genetic problem or add beneficial traits More information can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering

support

Gun Control- Restricting firearms to the private citizen (You can explain why you are for this if you feel it necessary

i dont want guns being used by citizens in this country, but at this point gun control wouldnt really work that effectively...I mean who knows how many Michael Dunn's and George Zimmerman's are out there..



Homosexual Equality- The belief that homosexuals should have the same rights as anyone else, and not be prejudice because of their sexual preference

support equality. This is something more straight minorites like myself should support. We dont like people limiting our rights so same should apply to them



Drug War- The belief that you can stop the use of drugs by prohibiting it.

lmao not even people that made these laws believed drug use will stop on the downlow..they were hoping it would continue which it did

we know them prisons are privately owned, America you aint fooling us




Mandatory Military Draft- Required four or more years of service to your government. Not military draft in war times
do not support

Mandatory Minimum Sentences- Required minimum sentences for specific crimes

remove nearly all jail time for drug possession and use i'd say

Minimum Drinking Age- Requiring a minimum age to allow people to drink
it was necessary to leave it at 21... when they lowered it to 18 in the US, there were way higher yearly fatal car accident numbers than any other time period

Pass/Fail Grading System- Grading system where effort dictates whether someone passes or fails regardless of quality of work
this is an unnecessary change

the issue of pratical questions in aptitude tests are bigger issues


Porn/Adult Entertainment- Movies, books, live shows, magazines, etc. which include adults performing sex acts or other explicit material

the human need for sexual gratification is NATURAL

so we really shouldnt restrict it

Prayer in School- Allowing people to pray wherever they wish

support, even though i'm atheist

Premarital Sex- Sexual relations before marriage
i find nothing wrong with it



Racial Profiling- Observing one race more than another because they are known to commit more of a specific crimes
an irksome problem

this leads to more skewed crime stats, the more you observe someone the more likely youll catch them doing something wrong, and the more likely OTHER races get away

which is why both subtle and overt racists point to "but blacks commit crime at a higher rate/percentage than whites,
WRONG, they get arrested more but occurrences are almost even
Separation of Church and State- The belief that government and religion should be separate. The government cannot endorse nor promote any religion over another
agreed

Sex Education in School- Teaching kids about sex in school

as long as it's honest

Violence in Entertainment- Allowing explicit or obscene material in movies, TV and other media for their entertainment value
potentially more detrimental than pr0Nz but yet not seeing with as much disgust in America

Women in the Draft- Requiring that women join the draft
there shouldnt be a draft period

but either way, SOMEONE's got to look after the child/household

Women in the military- Whether women should be allowed in the military

of course

Mandatory Community Service for 18 year olds- Basically the idea that for a set period of time you do something whether it be military or peace corps type work for 2 years and the government gives you a free ride through college.

i'd say more like an internship that gives them relevant experience instead of "community service"

Recessions/Depressions- When the economy starts to decline what is the course of action? Spend or Cut.

unsure

Net Neutrality- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_neutrality
keep the internet experience unrestricted


Polygamy- The Practice of having more than one spouse

this should be allowed, considering any sort of restriction on this ties into religion and religion and state should be as separate from each other as a Duck Hunt Dog player is separate from his/her opponent

Mandatory teaching of evolution in science class (including private religious schools?)
as long as it aint deceiving..

Child Porn- Needs to be explained more if you say for or against
children tend to be exploited for this so that's a hell no

however, any teen willingly taking naked pictures of his/herself and sending it via text or whatever should not count. thats on them

 

[Chinaux]

I don't really see the argument against gay marriage, other than religion.

Can someone elaborate why someone would be against it for me? I'm not homosexual or anti-gay, so the whole situation isn't really something I'd research or go out and support. I just believe it should be legal.

like you said religion


plus it is a "violation" of the natural order

like we have different sex organs for a reason, which is in a way true

but there have been so many gross violations of nature done by humans already, which makes that argument flimsy

also the Bible was written by people, each with their own agendas as well, not by God

people really just pick and choose which part of the Bible/word of "God" makes sense and justifies them.

meanwhile, when you ask them how it affects THEIR life, they start stuttering like they was being hit with ZSS Paralyzer

 

[Ura]

Abortion: Pro-life. As a man, I can't even fathom the pain of child birth so I won't talk as if I know what's best for women and what she should do in situations like that.

Biometric National Identification: Against. Sound like theirs way too many problems that can potentially stem from this like being mistaken for someone else.

Cloning: For cuz I want to create clones of myself to take over the world. Neutral on this really.

Death Penalty: Against. Killing a criminal won't punish them. When you do that, it's just done like that. Having them suffer in a place like jail will. Not to mention theirs the potential issue of people who didn't commit a crime being sentenced (theirs been cases of this in the past).

Euthanasia/Mercy Killing: For given the person gives consent to make it happen.

Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Expression: For

Gun Control: Against

Homosexual Equality: For. What reasoning is their to be against? Humans regardless of their sexual orientation shouldn't be treated any differently.

Mandatory Military Draft: Against. I'm firmly against forcing people to fight a war they want no part in regardless of the circumstances.

Minimum Drinking Age: Neutral. I don't drink so it doesn't really effect me in any way.

Prayer in School: Depends. For if it's something not pertaining to the entire school (like a prayer group or something) but Extremely Against if it's forcing everyone to partake in a prayer.

Racial Profiling: Firmly Against. Why should someone from a certain race have to suffer from being profiled because he/she happens to be apart of a race that's associated with committing crimes? That just doesn't sound fair at all and quite frankly their should be other methods to tackle crime than something like that.

Separation of Church and State: Firmly For. The 2 have no business being anywhere near each other and I wouldn't want to live a life being dictated by a religion I don't believe in.

Sex Education in School: For. This is of course provided the kids are at an appropriate age when their able to talk about such matters. I recall being 12 years old when this was first brought up so I guess that's the age where you want to introduce this to pre-teens.

Violence in Entertainment: For. Entertainment isn't a reflection of real life. People who aren't comfortable with that need to just get a grip or not watch whatever movie or TV show it is their upset about.

Women in the military: For. I don't see why not.

Net Neutrality: For

Polygamy: For. Not that I like the idea of it but if a group of people want to do something like that then it's really up to them.

Mandatory teaching of evolution in science class: For.
