Okay, so everyone can figure out everyone else's politics at a glance, let’s make a handy-dandy list of stuff that you are either for or against.
*A quick note, being for something means you condone it. It doesn't necessarily mean you do or practice it.

Cloning- For
Death Penalty- For
Euthanasia/Mercy Killings- For

Just copy and paste the list, change the for or against to suit you. Alternatly, you could just use + as for and - as against.
This should be most useful, this being a debate room and all. And then if a lot of people disagree on something, we know its good for debate. Inversely, if everyone is for it, we don't have to debate it.
