PLAYER PROFILE:
The Disillusioned Kingdom of Marcuslandia
Real Name: Marcus Mulkins
Age: 57
General Location: Northern California, USA, North America, Western Hemisphere, Earth, Sol System, Milky Way
General Political Affiliation: Democrat Party (only because it's NOT the Republicans, but big enough to actually _do_ something)
General Religious Affiliation: (Militant) Agnostic ["I don't know -- and you don't either!"]
Where did I find NationStates?: While surfing online. It was one of those advertising banners on a game site.
Read any of Max Berry's books?: No.
Professional Goal: To survive and be employed until retirement. (Work is just to pay the bills.)
Hours of Tv watching per day?: Average about 1.5 hours. Watching DVDs, however.... Add another hour.
Favorite music genre: "Classic" Rock 'n' Roll
Other useful info: BIG game player. Been in and out of the game industry for over 40 years.

POLITICAL BELIEFS
Abortion: On demand through the first two trimesters. Medical necessity ONLY after that.
Affirmative Action: Ambivalent. I dislike quotas, but I also despise discrimination. Employment by merit is what works for me.
Arms Trade: Crack down on it HARD. The main reason there's so much major violence in the world is because weapons and munitions makers make their products sooooo available.
Death Penalty: Yes, with sentence to be carried out within 6 months. Years on Death Row is B.S.
Drugs: Legal, but with the understanding that being "under the influence" is NEVER a legitimate excuse for anything.
Economic System: Regulated Capitalism. No laissez faire, no "free market" economy, etc.
Education: Public Education through High School. (And it should be _comprehensive_ and high quality.)After that is by scholarship or on your own dime.
Electoral College in USA Elections: It's obsolete and a duplication of effort. It should be eliminated.
Environmentalism: Don't dump on Mother Nature and she won't dump on ALL of us.
Euthanasia: Upon personal request of anyone deemed "of sound mind". By closest family in the case of "persistent vegetative state".
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
FCC: It serves a necessary purpose. But it should cut back on the censorship considerably.
Gay Marriage: If _any_ two (or three, or four...)people want to make that level of commitment to each other, that's their business and nobody else's. As long as they're "consenting adults" and recognize that with the right comes obligations.

[Jedi Women]

IM Contacts: Telegram my nation if you wanna talk
Political Beliefs: See below
Jedi Women
Real Name: Sabie
Age: 19
General Location: The South
Abortion: I'm not in favor, I believe life starts when the heart does, which is around 2 weeks. But, I also am not in favor of banning it immediately. I think this would just be worse for women and children over all. Abortion should be moderated, and slowly the time durring the pregnancy when a child can be terminated should be made less and less. (i.e. start with no third trimester abortions, then none after 5 months, four months...etc).
Affirmative Action: Creates the problem it is supposedly trying to fix
Arms Trade: Silly... not really, but the government should be smart about who it sells to and who it allows the private sector to sell to. There's always going to be a black market though
Death Penalty: Complying with my church, I should not be in favor, realistically, I am- somewhat. It's more economical than thousands of life sentences, where prisoners just get to hang out and never work again. But guilt should be proven without a shadow of doubt.
Drugs: Allow people to become more dangerous and stupid than they already are- but we allow alcohol. Smoking (tobacco) deserves to be banned because it's been proven that it kills, and can harm those around a person smoking.
Economic System: Minimally government regulated capitalism.
Education: Is the most important thing... however, as my old school district is discovering, too much regulation hurts the process rather than helps. Standards need to be set that allow a minimum to be reached without dragging down those excelling beyond average.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Seems like a silly idea until you actually try and understand it. Yeah, in some ways it would be great to just go by popular vote, but in the grand scheme, the electoral college helps moderate things and is alright.
Environmentalism: Important, we need a planet to live on. I believe technology and environment can be in harmony.
Euthanasia: If you're going to outlaw euthanasia, then you need to figure out a way to convict suicides. Provided the patient can actually make their wishes known, it should be allowed. I don't like it, but I'll fight for their right to it.
Evolution or Creation?: No reason they can't both be true. Far as I'm concerned, Genesis is a metaphor- I don't think people at the time it was written would have been able to comprehend evolution, so it represents how they could describe creation. If God is GOD, there's no reason he could not have used evolution as a method for creation.
FCC: Sorry- not familiar with FCC. And I'd rather not present an uneducated response.
Gay Marriage: If you've got a problem with calling it marriage, then call it something else. Define it as something else for the "children's sake." I don't approve, but I don't feel I have the right to judge and deny them of the rights they deserve when entering a life long partnership.
Gun Control: For- as far as the government needs to know who has one, what kind, and why. Stuff designed for war and killing should be kept off the streets as much as possible, but protection weapons and hunting weapons should be allowed.
Immigration Policies: We can't fit everybody into one country, there has to be regulation as to who comes in. But, I don't think we need a fence across the southern border.
Income Tax: Should be a flat percentage rate, but to do that would require a complete overhaul and reassignment of how much people earn, because currently, salaries are set to compensate for how much will be taken out. Yes, that sucks for people with lower salaries, but why should people who have worked their way to the top pay a higher percent? At a flat rate, they'll still be giving the government more than you. Everybody pays the same sales tax, why not income tax?
Israel/Palestine: Part of me wants to say "Not our problem, we can not be the world's police" but if there was a way to convince them just to suck it up and be two nations... that would be great.
Philosophy: Should be part of education, not imposing one philosophy on all people, but people should be aware of their own philosophy.
Political Party Affiliation: Liberally conservative...lol. Moderate. I vote conservative not because I'm hardcore, but because I agree with them on issues that are most important to me. And my vote would never help Ralph Nader (btw- that's a joke, I just hang Green party signs in my window to piss off my mom)
President Bush/American Policies: He got a crappy 8 years to be president, the situation would not have changed much if someone else was president. We were due for economic failure (it goes in cycles) and I wouldn't have liked to see anyone else handle the aftermath of 9/11. He wasn't great, but you can't assign him all the blame, stuff still would have happened.
Prostitution: Should be a state by state, or city decision. And should be moderated so that minors are not subjected to it.
Religion: I'm for it! But try not to impose mine on anyone who doesn't want to hear it. You're never going to convert people that way any how. I believe in a merciful God, who will not condemn based on your list of "sins" but rather on the whole of your life.
Social Security: Is gunna screw my generation over, my pay check's going into it, but I'll probably not see anything out of it.
The UN: Helpful in some ways, sitting useless in others.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: We're ominvores, made to eat meat. If you believe in God, you should eat meat. He made animals to eat other animals, and for us to eat them. But if you just want to stick it to veggies... good for you, don't block my way to Micky D's.
War in Iraq: Needs to end. I understand why we went in the first place, but we're no longer helping the situation- and good men and women are dying for a lost cause.
War on Terror: Have at it- if you can actually target people being terrorists... and not just stereotyping and killing innocents.

I know what I believe is right and wrong, I will express that opinion, but I refuse to shove it down other people's throats. If debating, I will staunchly defend my position, but in discussions about what should happen in reality- I'm more moderate and will give more ground. I believe in God- and I believe that it is His judgment, not mine, that matters.
I'm a fan of the Voltaire attributed: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

Political Beliefs:
Abortion: Fine by me.
Affirmative Action: What is Affirmative action?
Arms Trade: Hell no.
Death Penalty: Definately not
Drugs: Yeeeaaahhh, Man! but It would have age restrictions set at a minimum of 16, which would be my nation's recognized age of adulthood if it were up to me. (not just because I'm 16, but because I belive that by 16 people should be mature enough to make their own decisions).
Economic System: The economic system is f*cked, but I would have one
Education: Very important, but should be more fun.
Electoral College in USA Elections: I do not live in the USA, so I don't know what that is about.
Environmentalism: Yes, but only to save money
Euthanasia: I definately agree with euthanasia
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution, GO DARWIN!
FCC: what?

Player Profile: Unterzagersdorf
Political Beliefs: Liberal Socialist

The Socialist State of Unterzagersdorf
Real Name: Neil Starkweather
Age: 17
General Location: Michigan, American Empire
General Political Affiliation [if any]: None at the moment. I plan on joining Communist Party USA when I turn eighteen.
General Religious Affiliation [if any]: None. Religion serves no purpose in the modern era except to halt social and scientific progress.
Where Did You Find NationStates?: While looking for a fun online game to play. I was looking on Google, actually.
Have you read any of Max Barry's books: Not yet.
Professional Goal: Mainly just getting by comfortably. I find it disgusting that we have to work to survive. Finding a job is almost like a human instinct now. It is pounded into you from birth, and it is completely sickening.
How many hours a day do you watch TV?: About one, if at all.
What is your favorite genre of music: I like alternative rock and some deathcore and black metal, if the lyrics are intelligent.
Other information: Marijuana!

Abortion: Should be allowed only in cases of rape or when the mothers life is in danger, unless the mother is willing die so her baby can come into the world. I used to be pro-choice, but then I realized that there are too many horny teenagers going around fucking and killing their babies.
Affirmative Action: Only until racism finally disappears. I do realize that in some cases it further escalates the problem it is trying to solve.
Arms Trade: Not needed. Military personnel are the only ones who need guns, and I don't even trust them with that right at the moment.
Death Penalty: Only if an individual, age aside, kills with intent to kill.
Drugs: Yes please! But on a more intellectual level, I will put what I want into my body whenever I want to, as long as I don't hurt anyone else. Remember, drugs are made illegal by the same people who made suicide illegal; completely illogical. Victimless crime is an oxymoron. You can't have a crime without a victim.
Economic System: Liberal socialism. Everything should be available to everyone. Everyone should be able to do what they want as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others or the environment. The economy and production should be looked after by the government, preferably through automation. And that should be one of government's only roles.
Education: Available to everyone at all levels, but not compulsory. Personally I enjoy many subjects of learning, and I know others do as well. Let the learning be done by the people who enjoy it and would like to make use of it.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Outdated. As is our faltering, indecisive representative government and its inability to represent the people. Direct democracy is completely possible, especially with today's technology. Representative government just makes it easier for the people who are really in power to remain in control.
Environmentalism: Very logical. The world and mankind as a collective are like an organism, and an organism at war with itself is doomed.
Euthanasia: If you want it. Personally I wouldn't, but it is up to the individual and no one else.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution, but I'm not against the idea that a highly evolved, intelligent being helped in our evolution.
FCC: I believe very little censorship is required, and the FCC takes it way to far. It is another one of the government's oppressive institutions.
Gay Marriage: If people want to make that level of commitment to each other, whether heterosexual or homosexual, that's their business and nobody else's. As long as they're "consenting adults" and recognize that with the right comes obligations. However, marriage has always been a religious ceremony in my mind. I don't get why two people would want to be joined in a ceremony associated with the very people who don't except them.
Gun Control: Needed. Especially in our violent culture.
Immigration Policies: Ridiculous. You can't tell people that they can't walk onto a specific section of the planet. This planet belongs to all humanity, not a specific group.
Income Tax: Too much of these taxes go towards our imperialist wars and "defence". So shove your income tax, you filthy bankers. However, if the government bought and provided all my food and entertainment I wouldn't mind giving them all my money. But then that eliminates the purpose of money doesn't it. Imagine that.
Israel/Palestine: Neutrality, as no more senseless violence is needed. Somebody needs to show them that religion is nonsense and the violence it produces is even worse for our species.
Philosophy: Zeitgeist.
Political Party Affiliation: None yet. Communist Part USA when I turn eighteen.
President Obama/American Policies: Just like all other administrations in history, it hardly does anything to improve our culture and species. I find his policies, however, to be more favorable than those of previous Presidents.
Prostitution: Should be a legalized, official, government run and regulated business to prevent the horrible travesties often heard about from happening to the women (or men) in the business. You can't leave things like this to the greedy private sector that will do anything to make a quick buck. I personally would probably stay away from this industry, but if there are people who want to sell their bodies for income, and people who want to spend their income on said practice, then what the hell.
Religion: Highly counter-productive to our race in it's current state, and goes against many of the morals it claims to hold on high.
Social Security: Very much needed in our current economic system. It is definitely possible for everyone to have a comfortable standard of living.
The UN: A political body whose main purpose is to distract individuals and nations from the bankers who are really in power. Also an oxymoron, because none of the nations in the "United Nations" are actually united in any way.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: A rational lifestyle choice. Not for me. Although I do find it disgusting the way we process animals like they're crops.
War in Iraq: Unjustified, senseless violence brought about for imperialist profits.
War on Terror: A scam to strip you of your civil liberties in the name of "security".

Where Did You Find NationStates?: Study Suggestion, long story, has to do with mathematics.
Have you read any of Max Barry's books: Yes, Company, and Jenifer Government.
Professional Goal: Mathematician, nearly there, I still am on the verge of graduating from MIT.
How many hours a day do you watch TV?: I don't watch television aside from the news, but when I do, I take 1/3 of an hour (20 mins)- 1/2 of an hour (30 mins), average: 25 mins (5/12, 0.4166 of an hour).

Still in MIT, and highly obsessed and extremely fast (unusually faster) than my other numbers during multiplication.

---

Political Beliefs:
Abortion: Legal under Chap. 16, Section 34.
Affirmative Action: Quite a good statement. Of course, allowing the promotion of these resources is a great way to increase the social power of this nation.
Arms Trade: Irrational. The transfer of armed devices must cease, as this can breach national security, and take a plunge on the budget.
Death Penalty: Irrational. Criminals are rather rehabilitated, instead of killed to give a revenge, or as mathematical distribution calls it, risk/regression analysis (point analysis of non-complex zeros). Criminals require spreading of peace, rather using violence to change this fact.
Drugs: Irrational. Drugs need to be steadily outlawed. It causes many deaths on the road, and is difficult to tax, due to the high amount of distributors across the nation.
Economic System: "Neo-Mathematical vector Enterprise" all based on crushing enemy economical strengths using mathematics.
Education: All people must obtain at least 1 Ph.D, in order to obtain a high insight in economical and socioeconomic strengths. Education must be 3rd priority after Economics (2^nd), and Mathematics (1^st).
Electoral College in USA Elections: Disgusting and irrational, causes biased represenitives to vote in a represenitive democratic party member.
Environmentalism: Required. 4th priority, after Education (see above). Allows mathematics to be used rather than to be experimented in a "no-way-out" labyrinth scenario.
Euthanasia: Legal, due to my atheism and environmental beliefs, and to an extent of crime vaporization (see Cauchy Integration theorem, and use as a social effect).
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution, creationism is irrational.
FCC: Termination required. Highly irrational, due to federal rights engagement, and that it can be seized by EOs anytime a crisis occurs. Truth to everyone!
Gay Marriage: Illegal. No reason, except it is nice to debate with people. Homosexuality is allowed, as long as LGBT do not enter a marital status under married.
Gun Control: Yes. Limiting civilian weaponry allows crime to decrease, and reserving it for the military. Besides, weaponry is denting a profit zone anyway.
Immigration Policies: Allow illegal immigration. Once drugs have been destroyed, their intent in this nation will rapidly decrease.
Income Tax: Required, even if the critics say it is illegal. Adding a profit interchange is required, and using mathematics to gain a government profit from the foreign markets. Not illegal, since trading through these markets are already affirmative with smaller companies. That's what makes applied mathematics taste almost as good as literal numerical mathematics and multiplication (doesn't matter if it's long or short, I do it fast and accurate on a regular basis).
Israel/Palestine: Neutral, stay out of these issues, and focus on domination.
Philosophy: Not true, unless it is about metaphysics or meta mathematics.
Political Party Affiliation: The Conservative Democrat.
President Obama/American Policies: Doing very well, disregarding his approval rate, losing the US citizens, and his lack of response to the new healthcare bill/plan. Economics and social economics are better now though.
Prostitution: Ew... But, this is going to be required, if we fall into major debt, or the Gini Coefficient suddenly drops.
Religion: Atheist, gods and Karma is a flaw, and a belief. The Universe operates itself on a complete vector series, and infinitely expanding to a certain alpha/Hilbert Space, or an advanced conjuncture based on the 4 unknown coefficients, where the vectors avoid.
Social Security: Irrational- Ok, we really need to improve on Social Security. Identification should be in a person (literally), rather on a storage chip or government papers or cards, and shouldn't be represented by a scanned number, but a complete numerical data set.
The UN: Does well, we need to unite, but as well, have separate systems, thus, increasing economical strength.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: I'm not a vegetarian, but I support, highly. But due to the crop failure and immense
War in Iraq: Irrational. Full of the opportunities for oil, and an opportunity to throw in the budget.
War on Terror: Idiotic. We need to upgrade security, rather than destroy the source. Eventually, terrorists get wore out too, you know. 9/11 has a Conspiracy, but I don't have time to analyze it.

Professional Goal: Want to be a games designer. Or Comic Book writer/artist. Whichever
How many hours a day do you watch TV?: Maybe two. Three on a lazy day.
What is your favorite genre of music: It goes by a ridiculous number of names. Harsh EBM/Electro-Indutrial/Terror EBM/Dark Electro
Other information: Somniphobic (fear of sleep), paranoid and a slight fear of being touched (that's a recently developed fear of mine).

Abortion: Should be the mother's right to choose, but she needs a damn good reason. Like if it's hazardous to her health. Cos she
can't support it is not a good reason.
Affirmative Action: Necessary so long as racism still exists. So forever basically.
Arms Trade: Nobody needs guns. Ever. Except the army.
Death Penalty: Againstin general, but I can make exceptions for certain truly evil people.
Drugs: Should be legal. Tobacco and Alcohol are more dangerous than Marijuana or LSD, yet perfectly legal.
Economic System: Everyone should have access to everything. Don't really understand "economics" so I'll leave it there.
Education: Should be available to everyone on every level.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Stupid, does not work and rarely represents the people's opinion.
Environmentalism: Perhaps over-the-top, but still needed. We die, the Earth survives. The Earth dies, we die. But in all reality, the Earth is
not in danger. It's survived worse things than Humanity. We're the ones who are screwed.
Euthanasia: Should be allowed, provided their is a written and signed consent in the presence of an independent witness.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution.
FCC: Too politically correct and too much of a nanny-organisation.
Gay Marriage: Should be allowed, no question.
Gun Control: Needed badly in some countries.
Immigration Policies: This is a world that belongs to all humanity. Anyone should be allowed anywhere, so long as they aren't posing a threat
to others.
Income Tax: Unnecessarily high. I want to choose where my money goes, and I don't want it going to the army.
Israel/Palestine: A perfect example of religion gone wrong. Someone needs to slap both sides upside the head and show them how stupid
they're being.
Philosophy: Nihilism
Political Party Affiliation: None.
President Obama/American Policies: I like his ideas, but he needs to be given more time to act on them.
Prostitution: Should be government controlled. If people want to sell themselves that's their choice. But by making it illegal we're making
sure that the wrong kind of people get involved. I think it's funny that if you ask someone for sex, it's okay. If you pay them,
it's illegal. But if you pay them and film it for profit, it's perfectly fine.
Religion: A waste of human intellect and resources. All it does is cause trouble.
Social Security: Needed. Everyone has a right to a decent standard of living.
The UN: The most useless organisation on the planet. It's Peacekeepers are useless when really needed, and it does nothing to stop war.
Which is what it's supposed to do.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Definitely not for me. Carnivore through and through. But if people want to, hey, it's their choice.
War in Iraq: A waste of time, money and human blood. Great we got rid of Sadaam. Yeah, those people are so much better off now aren't
they?
War on Terror: A lie which leaders use to keep a tighter grip on their subjects. How can you have a war on a noun anyway? Terrorists are
not armies or nations. They are embodiments of an idea. And ideas never die.

The Empire of Tunizcha
Real Name: Sidney Le
Age:16
General Location: California (Central)
General Political Affiliation: Independent / Democrat
General Religious Affiliation: Atheist / Anti-theist
Where Did You Find NationStates?: On a website several years ago.
Have you read any of Max Barry's books: Yes.
Professional Goal: Political Commentator, Lawyer, Marketing.
How many hours a day do you watch TV?: 1-2.
What is your favorite genre of music: House/Disco.
Other information: I'm a sociopath. The person who I pretend to be is not who I am.

Abortion: Sure. Power to the people. Though it should not be allowed after 27 weeks.
Affirmative Action: Remove it. Again, businesses should be allowed to hire whomever they desire, to a certain extent.
Arms Trade: Which one? The mythical one to Mexico or the one between gangs? The one to Mexico is a threat to a valuable ally. Prevent it. Inter-gang trading (God, that sounded so dorky) is a product of gangs themselves, for which I refer you down to Drugs.
Death Penalty: Abolish it. The Judicial system is far from perfect. The government should not have the power to say who dies and who does not.
Drugs: Legalize them all, then tax and regulate them. That's the only way to prevent gangs and over-dosage. The gangs are because the drugs are difficult to acquire, and therefore expensive. Since drugs are often used heavily in lower-off communities, they cannot afford to buy it, and therefore have to resort to violence and crime.
Economic System: Broken. The system benefits those who cheat it, and those who benefit benefit more from their benefits. Power begets power. While we all are left behind to suffer.
Education: Broken. Higher grades still seek to generalize education. Most people won't use a Algebra, or U.S. History, or Chemistry, so from 8-10th grade and then on, it should be focused on honing each student's forte. This would be determined by tests that replace state standardized tests. Those who do not excel in any area will be given a choice to either pick and choose to try and get through, or take vocational. All of this is the student's choice, of course, the general education as we have now will still be continued. And, of course, this will all be funded by cutting the massive defense budget.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Meh.
Environmentalism: Protect the Earth. What's not to love?
Euthanasia: If a patient wills it, and signs a government issued contract after being allowed to read it thoroughly and completely in the presence of at least 2 witnesses who have nothing to gain from the patient's death, then it will be administered after a 48 hour wait to allow the patient to prepare mentally and emotionally. The patient is allowed to stop the procedure at any time.
Evolution or Creation?: Evolution. No shit.
FCC: Die.
Gay Marriage: Go for it.
Gun Control: I don't like guns, but other people should be allowed to have them.
Immigration Policies: Allow illegal immigrants to stay for at least 1 year without a citizenship or green card, giving them enough time to apply and and take the test. They will have enough time to take the test at least twice. Failing that, they will be forced to leave.
Income Tax: Low as possible, but I understand that public things need running. Just give the rich higher taxes.
Israel/Palestine: Bullshit started by religion. Tell them to calm the fuck down.
Philosophy: Nihilism, Freudian, former Marxist.
Political Party Affiliation: Independent.
President Obama/American Policies: He's doing alright. Lesser of two evils between him and McCain. Has some progressive policies, but is too much of a pussy. Not as much of a pussy as the rest of the Democrats, but still a pussy. God, I want Kucinich. Let me have Nader, at least.
Prostitution: Legalize and regulate. Butt out of what consenting adults do in the privacy of the bedroom.
Religion: Completely secularize government. Fund absolutely no religious groups.
Social Security: Meh.
The UN: Meh.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Don't care for it.
War in Iraq: Idiotic war, but we have become too entrenched. A moderate pull-out would be advised rather than a quick pull-out.
War on Terror: Stupid shit. There is no such thing. The "War on Terror" is just Dick Cheney's hit list. They weren't after Osama, they were after Saddam.

Professional Goal: Thinking of being a surgeon, but this will probably change by next month.
How many hours a day do you watch TV?: Maybe 1 or 2 during the season.
What is your favorite genre of music: I can stand to listen to a specific genre of music for too long, but I'm good with anything except most country or jazz.
Other information: Nah, I'm not interesting enough for that.
Political Beliefs:
Abortion: Personally, the thought of it makes me cringe. However, if it were outlawed tomorrow I would definitely be fighting to get it back.
Affirmative Action: Outdated and poorly executed.
Arms Trade: Stricter, please.
Death Penalty: Only in extreme cases.
Drugs: Certain soft drugs should be legalized, but strictly regulated.
Economic System: I have too much to say about this, and I'm too tired of saying it.
Education: More funding, please.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Usually does the trick.
Environmentalism: The issue's not simple enough for this survey.
Euthanasia: Absolutely. People with debilitating diseases should be able to end their lives on their own terms.
Evolution or Creation?: I've come to believe that Creationism is ludicrous.
FCC: I'm sick of hearing people saying that all censorship is wrong - of course, I am always against banning books and things like that, but that doesn't mean that I'm okay with swearing and excessive violence on TV.
Gay Marriage: Go for it.
Gun Control: More, please.
Immigration Policies: Oh, dear... this is the kind of issue I feel better not having an opinion on.
Income Tax: Should be lowered.
Israel/Palestine: I'd be good if they'd just stop blowing each other up.
Philosophy: The stuff I wish I could stop thinking about right as I'm about to fall asleep.
Political Party Affiliation: I don't like any of 'em!
President Obama/American Policies: A bit early to tell. I like that he pissed off PETA, though.
Prostitution: Terrifying. I can't imagine what life must be like for those poor men and women.
Religion: Disgusts me.
Social Security: Enormous mess.
The UN: Good in theory, laughable in practice.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Cool. I'm still down with eating cows, though.
War in Iraq: Oh, dear.
War on Terror: I think it's healthy that the American people can see that they can still very easily be manipulated.

Professional Goal: I'm currently planning on joining the Canadian Armed Forces as an officer in the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery.
How many hours a day do you watch TV?: None, my satellite broke a year ago and I've never bothered to fix it.
What is your favorite genre of music: Rock, and I absolutely adore traditional Eastern European music.
Other information: I'm not very interesting

Political Beliefs:
Abortion: Oppose except for special circumstances (ie. rape, incest, physical deformity, etc.)
Affirmative Action: You should work for your job not get it handed to you because of the colour of your skin.
Arms Trade: It's a fine way to get some extra income.
Death Penalty: Hardcore criminals like murderers and drug dealers deserve to die for their crimes.
Drugs: Oppose greatly, drugs are a parasite upon society.
Economic System: I really don't want to go on a long winded speech for this, so I'll just say Mixed Market.
Education: Should be available for everyone
Electoral College in USA Elections: Obsolete and stupid, though being a Canadian I don't care much.
Environmentalism: It depends, I do support conservation of the environment but not the 'we should all live in trees!' style people.
Euthanasia: I do support it for certain circumstances.
Evolution or Creation?: I generally tend to not think of this subject often. I'm a practicing Roman Catholic, but I do believe in the theory of Evolution. I suppose "God Driven" evolution would be a way to describe my beliefs?
FCC: Far too politically correct and over zealous on matters that hardly deserve any attention.
Gay Marriage: Support it, simply because I can't stand this issue being brought up time and time again.
Gun Control: I support it to an extend, but a license should be required alongside strict rules.
Immigration Policies: I prefer isolationism over free immigration. I have no love for 'refugees' who flee their country and come crying to us at the first sign of trouble.
Income Tax: I strongly support taxes, so long as they're not excessive. Organized society as we know it would not survive if we stopped giving the government our money.
Israel/Palestine: I give Israel my support on this matter. Palestine is a filthy nation of criminals and terrorists who hold a pointless grudge over losing land that rightfully belongs to Israel and the Jews.
Philosophy: Varies
Political Party Affiliation: Conservative Party
President Obama/American Policies: Can't stand Obama nor his recent policies. I have much preferred for McCain to win instead of that populist, Democrat bastard. Seventy-Five percent of his supporters only voted for him and continue to support him because of his skin colour (as someone who is still in High School, I can corroborate this very easily).
Prostitution: Obviously, I strongly oppose prostitution. It is immoral and only serves to spread diseases among the populace.
Religion: I highly support religion as it is a guiding moral force that helps build character and strong morals. However, radicalization of religion is highly dangerous phenomenon as Islamic fundamentalists show time and time again.
Social Security: No opinion
The UN: An incredibly useless and overly idealistic organization that serves no purpose other then whine and pass the occasional bill that no one pays any attention to. Frankly, I just think the UN should be disbanded.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: A sign of weakness and ignorance of how the natural world works.
War in Iraq: The War in Iraq, despite how much I support it, is a lost cause and pointless endeavor. Far too many soldiers have died for a useless objective. Afghanistan, on the other hand, has a much greater chance of success and should be supported until the nation can finally survive on its own without fear of Islamic militants or civil war.
War on Terror: I greatly support the War on Terror both as a form of revenge for all of the terrorist attacks that have occurred and to stop or impede future terrorist actions.

Professional Goal: (classified information)
How many hours a day do you watch TV?: 1 - 3 hours
What is your favorite genre of music: Disney songs
Other information: none

Political Beliefs:
Abortion: Plain and simple child murder, and those who do it must therefore be treated as child murderers.
Affirmative Action: Not the best idea. People should be treated equally at all times.
Arms Trade: Must be stopped. Not only arms trade, but also arms manufacturing.
Death Penalty: Only barbarian nations have that.
Drugs: Outlaw the ones that do severe damage to the body. Smoking cigarettes in public should be outlawed as well.
Economic System: Regulated free market, with things like electricity and water supply owned by the government.
Education: Free for everyone, from kindergarten to university.
Electoral College in USA Elections: Luckily, I don't have anything to do with USA elections.
Environmentalism: Protecting the environment must be a high priority for each government, and international regulations must be implemented to prevent industries from polluting heavily.
Euthanasia: Not in favour, but probably each case should be analysed individually.
Evolution or Creation?: What do you mean, "or"? Each can only work with the other, even if most people nowadays are too stupid to understand that.
FCC: What about it? I'm not familiar with American organisations.
Gay Marriage: As long as it's only on the level of civil marriage, it can simply be seen as two people living together, and what goes on inside the four walls is not for the government to mind anyway.
Gun Control: Private gun ownership must be outlawed without exceptions.
Immigration Policies: Let people come and go as they wish.
Income Tax: More income, more tax. For people who earn €10,000,000 a year, 90% isn't too much. That would still leave them with €1,000,000, which is more than enough to live a luxurious life.
Israel/Palestine: Two-state solution is surely the best now. People could have thought of that earlier, mind you, instead of simply evicting countless people without a cent of compensation.
Philosophy: The philosophical scholastic line of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas.
Political Party Affiliation: All political parties I know are loony.
President Obama/American Policies: Still too early to tell.
Prostitution: Not in favour, but it's their own choice.
Religion: The pillar of civilisation itself, it's the foundation of science, human rights, and democracy.
Social Security: Must be available for everybody who needs it.
The UN: A good idea, but rather useless in practice, unfortunately.
Veganism/Vegetarianism: Not a vegetarian myself, but I do understand their point.
War in Iraq: The unfortunate result of silly American propaganda.
War on Terror: Silly American propaganda.
