Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

General Political Affiliation [if any]:Independent
General Religious Affiliation [if any]: Agnostic Atheist
Where Did You Find NationStates?: I don't even remember now
Have you read any of Max Barry's books: No, but I'd like to at some point
Professional Goal: Currently, either a Teacher or Professor
What is your favourite genre of music: Alternative Rock, Early Punk, Folk Rock, Classic Rock, Romantic era orchestral music
Which languages you can speak and/or write in: English, and a little Spanish
Other information:

Abortion: Pro-Choice
Affirmative Action: I support it, but would prefer it were based on socio-economic status
Aid (International): Support I guess. Wealthier countries should support the development of less well off countries
Arms Trade: Ideally it shouldn't even exist, but since that isn't a very realistic option, it should be heavily regulated
Death Penalty: Against, Except for crimes against humanity
Drones: I'm against the military in general so I wouldn't call myself "pro-drone", but there does seem to be a lot of paranoia in this area.
Drugs: Softer drugs like marijuana should be legalized, harder drugs should be decriminalized. There should be ample support for rehabilitation programs however.
Economic System: A socialist economy where the means of production are collectively owned, and are managed by the workers themselves through some form of direct democracy. If it were market socialism, essentials like healthcare would be provided by the government, otherwise resources would be distributed through some form of participatory economic system. I have no real preference between the two, as it is unlikely that either will ever be implemented within my lifetime.
Education: Should be free, even through college.
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: The current electoral system should be replaced with a parliamentary system that uses some form of proportional representation
Environmentalism: Global Warming is a threat to humanity, and should be dealt with by any means necessary. I have no objection to market based solutions like cap-and-trade though I suspect that pigouvian taxes on carbon would be more effective
Euthanasia: Legal
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Evolution
Gay Marriage: So long as marriage exists as an institution, it should be open to same-sex couples.
Gun Control: I am opposed to bans on "assault rifles", and high capacity magazines, but I see no reason to oppose universal background checks, mandatory training, or other such efforts to prevent gun violence.
Immigration Policies: Everyone who wants citizenship should be able to get it, except possibly for violent criminals
Income Tax: Under my ideal socialist economy, this probably wouldn't exist, but in the mean time it is necessary. There should be a progressive tax rate.
Iran: I don't support the Iranian government, but I don't believe the US should invade them either.
Israel/Palestine: I probably sympathize with the palestinians more, but the actions of groups like Hamas are often counter productive. Pro-peace.
LGBTQ Rights: Support
Philosophy (what's your philosophical outlook?): Utilitarian
Political Party Affiliation: Independent
President Obama/American Policies: Meh
Prostitution: Safe and legal, though I don't like it.
Religion: I support a Secular state
Social Security (Welfare):
The UN: Representatives should be Democratically elected, but the organization it's self does a lot of good, even if it hasn't always been successful.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I have no ethical problems with eating meat, but I can understand why other people do
War on Terror: I'm somewhat skeptical of the idea that foreign wars make us safer, but the invasion of Afghanistan was probably a necessary evil

Economic System: Mixed Market -- any philosophy that deals in absolutes lack the fexibility to practical in the real world for real people.
Education: State Funded Education available to all is the only path to a healthy and wealthy society
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: Needs reforming at the State level, so that Electoral votes at the state level will be divided by the % of the votes, as opposed to the "Winner take all" system presently used by most states.
Environmentalism: Idiocy when taken to the extreme--that would be either extreme. I live in the environment I want it healthy.
Euthanasia: voluntary should be legal.
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: BOTH BABY! They are by no means mutually exclusive.
Gay Marriage: It doesnt effect me, I have no strong opinion. I dont care what consenting adults between themselves.
Gun Control: GUn control is being able to put two bullets through the same hole- Im an American, I do not support gun control measures most of the time, and NO I do not own a fire arm, yes I have lost family gun crime.
Immigration Policies: My position is exceedingly radical, and too long to explain here. Lets just say I am very "easy" on Immigration.

Prostitution: Should be legal and regulated.

Social Security (Welfare): A functional first world nation should be able to provide for its most needing and or vulnerable members consitantly and in for others as the need for help waxes and wanes.
The UN: Impotent ineffective load of bullshit.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I am an omnivore, biology made me this way. If one chooses to not be an omnivore that is fine, but shut the fuck about it and dont pretend its natural, because it isnt.
War on Terror: Is a sound bite and a snap shot.

Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

The L - The Z

The Reasonable
Picture: Here's one.

The Meritocratic State of The Reasonable
Real Name: Hanfei Wang
Age: 18
Gender: Male
General Location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA
General Political Affiliation [if any]: Center-left by American standards, center to center-right by European and NSG standards. I personally identify as a centrist/moderate. I'm not really ideological in nature, and I try to keep an open mind.
General Religious Affiliation [if any]: None/Agnostic Atheist
Where Did You Find NationStates?: Google search
Have you read any of Max Barry's books: Yes, Jennifer Government
Professional Goal: Physician
What is your favourite genre of music: No true preference
Which languages you can speak and/or write in: English, Chinese (Mandarin), Spanish

Abortion: Up to viability (which now means about 24 weeks), with excepts for life of the mother and fetal defects thereafter. Live birth should be attempted after that time.
Affirmative Action: Had good intentions, but ultimately isn't the way to cure racism.
Aid (International): Be very, very careful with it. Many governments can't be trusted with aid funds, but do give it to those that can. The best way is direct aid in building infrastructure, healthcare facilities, and schools. Microlending helps promote business and generate wealth. Do it only if your government can afford it though.
Arms Trade: Helps the economy. As long as it's regulated properly, I don't see a problem with it.
Death Penalty: In favor but not too strongly, and only in rare cases and with DNA evidence, video, or other similar evidence. Testimony and confessions are highly inaccurate. Should be mostly for serial killers, etc.
Drones: Against
Drugs: Legalize, tax, regulate
Economic System: Keynesian/mixed market/regulated capitalism. I vehemently oppose laissez-faire capitalism, socialism, and communism.
Education: Provided free of cost up to postgraduate level. Regulate private education and homeschooling in terms of curriculum and teacher certification, but no need to ban private education.
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: Make the US into a parliamentary republic already.
Environmentalism: Sensible regulations need to be in place, but I'm no tree-hugger. "Preserving nature" isn't a priority of mine, but improving human health through reducing pollution, curbing global warming, and preventing drastic climate change are important to me.
Euthanasia: For
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Evolution
Gay Marriage: For
Gun Control: Licensing system, similar to cars. All gun owners must be licensed, and guns registered. Must demonstrate competency and pass background checks/psych profile. All private sales must be recorded, and if any gun is used to commit a crime, the legal owner of the gun is to be held responsible as an accomplice unless they reported it as stolen first. In other words, legalize, tax, and regulate.
Immigration Policies: Open borders, mostly. Bonuses for skilled people.
Income Tax: Progressive but not unreasonable.
Iran: A secular country taken over by a bunch of crazies.
Israel/Palestine: Two state solution.
LGBTQ Rights: For
Philosophy (what's your philosophical outlook?): Pragmatist, existentialist, rationalist
Political Party Affiliation: US Democratic Party
President Obama/American Policies: I support Obama, but America should stop being the "world police".
Prostitution: Legalize, tax, regulate
Religion: Freedom of religion, but pay taxes and don't force it on others. I'm personally against religion.
Social Security (Welfare): Unfortunately necessary. As long as the recipient can clearly follow some kind of plan towards re-employment, I'm fine with it.
The UN: One of the most ineffective organizations I know. It's a joke, just like the League of Nations before it.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: If it suits you, fine. But I'm personally against it and don't force it on me.
War on Terror: Mostly against

Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

Income Tax: Pro, as long as fairly distributed (higher taxes for rich people, lower for poor).

Israel/Palestine: Neutral. Let them bomb each other, they'll eventually see that they're destroying each others in an eternal war.

General Religious Affiliation [if any]: Agnostic with Christian-atheist leanings.
Where Did You Find NationStates?: I was looking for a nation simulator
Have you read any of Max Barry's books: Nope
Professional Goal: Lawyer
What is your favourite genre of music: Folk, ska(core), and various kinds of rock and metal
Which languages you can speak and/or write in: Polish (fluently), English (almost fluently), Spanish (a bit), French (a very small bit)
Other information:

Abortion: Mixed feelings. I believe that abortion is immoral and should be strongly discouraged (unless there are serious medical concerns), but it shouldn't be banned outright.
Affirmative Action: Rather against
Aid (International): For
Arms Trade: Should be strictly controlled
Death Penalty: Against
Drones: Well, they're bad, since they are used to kill people, but drones aren't by any means worse than other weapons and military vehicles
Drugs: Against, but I believe that addicts should be treated rather than imprisoned
Economic System: Mixed economy with a strong co-operative sector, protected workers' rights, and a well funded welfare system would work best.
Education: Is a right and should be free at all levels
Electoral College in USA Elections - Good? Bad? Needs reforming?: States should split their vote according to the proportion of candidates' votes (get rid of the "winner takes all" rule).
Environmentalism: I support conservation and I strongly believe that we should reduce our dependency on fossil fuels. However, I oppose the notion of "animal rights".
Euthanasia should be legal, but I understand the motivations of people who oppose it (unless they start barking about Teh Jacobin Bolshevik Liberal Civilisation of Death, of course)
Evolution or Creation (or both)?: Evolution, though as an agnostic I don't reject a possible divine influence.
Gay Marriage: I support gay civil unions. The government shouldn't use the word "marriage", and churches (and other organisations wishing to perform wedding ceremonies) should be allowed to define it however they want to.
Gun Control should exist in some form, but I would oppose a complete ban.
Immigration Policies: Not a major issue here, and I cannot say what would be my opinion on it if I lived in a country where it's really important (like the USA or Australia).
Income Tax: Should be progressive
Iran: Leave them alone.
Israel/Palestine: I would really like to support Israel as the beacon of the Western civilisation in the Middle East - but I cannot do so because of their leaders' warmongering.
LGBTQ Rights: I usually support LGBTQ activism
Philosophy (what's your philosophical outlook?): I don't consider myself affiliated to any school of philosophical thought.
Political Party Affiliation: Strictly nonpartisan. Would probably vote SLD, but I still wait for an actually left-wing party.
President Obama/American Policies: American politics is far too right-wing for me (especially, but not only, when it comes to economy). Obama seems to be one of the more sensible politicians there, though.
Prostitution: Should be legal and taxed.
Religion: Good in itself (in most cases), bad when used as a tool by greedy religious leaders.
Welfare: I support it and I believe it should be better funded. Privatising the Social Security would be a fu**ing daylight robbery.
The UN: Good idea
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Personal choice of some people.
War on Terror: Necessary in the theory, but in fact it has brought us only more terror.

Prostitution: Personally I find it very wrong, but it should be legalized, heavily regulated and heavily taxed. Pimping and that kind of stuff should remain illegal.
Religion: Preferably none, but if it were I'd prefer if it weren't fundamentalist.
Social Security (Welfare): A lot, but not done too excessively and must give the people incentives to work.
The UN: Silly bureaucratic attempt at crafting international peace.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Generally don't care, I'm a meat-consumer myself so...
War on Terror: Strongly, strongly oppose. Can't start a war on something so abstract as terrorism, and it's just another poor excuse for American imperialism.

Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.
