Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2003 Since most of you fucktards don't have a child I will say this. I had to think of the very situation that how would I choose if it came down to the mother or the child. That would be MY decision. Try having that on your mind. You people have no clue until you are put in that situation. I don't understand; wouldn't it be the mother's decision if it was her life that was in danger, or am I misunderstanding you? From the sounds of it, you seem to be criticizing those who are pro-choice, as they can't simply take the life of a child away just like that, but than I get the impression that you are talking about having the burden of raising a child, which would be a knock against the Pro-life people. Colour me confused, if there was such a colour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 10, 2003 That's why I think drugs should be legalized. What someone does in the privacy of their own home is their business, and it's not the job of the government to tell you that you can't harm yourself. Once people take the drugs outside their home and mess someone else up, then they should have the bloody book thrown at them. Legalize, but don't have ANY tolerance for people who fuck it up. Hey, that's pretty much my feelings on the matter, verbatim. Even a functioning addict is still, well, functioning. What's it matter if he gets high after work while watching the game? However, mugging someone for crack is slightly different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2003 Again, how in the blue hell did this thread turn into a pseudo-abortion debate? I've been trying to figure that one out myself. It's quite obvious--the abortion issue is one of the issues that separates the parties, and we're talking about political affiliation. Hence, it's natural for it to come up. Anyway, here's my take on CM's 7 dissenting points: 1. is against the "War on Drugs" - supports complete legalisation 2. is pro-choice on abortion 3. supports licensing of all firearms and complete ban on automatic/long-range/special-purpose weapons for civilians 4. supports civil unions for homosexuals 5. interprets the First, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution to guarantee a right to privacy 6. believes that we have a duty to promulgate democracy throughout the world (Wilson) 7. believes in a strict separation of church and state, and would support any Congressional resolutions removing "In God We Trust" from the currency and "Under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance 1. No. I suspect if it happened, we'd see tons of class-action suits of people suing because they or family members of them were messed up by drugs. 2. Personally, no. 3. Half-agree. 4. No. 5. Depends. The way the Supremely Screwed Up Court "interprets" things, they'll be giving child molestors the right to fuck little kids in their own homes in no time, and so forth, etc. 6. Yes. 7. Eh. I don't believe in a strict one. I think it's a waste of time to try to officially revise the pledge. If it "offends" you, don't say it. Don't force congress to waste time with such a trivial issue. As for cash--sure, take it off but while you're at it take out the pagan imagery. The political compass, at politicalcompass.org at least, has shot its credibility to hell with me. In their look at the US Primaries 2003, it puts me far more left and Libertarian than Lieberman, Dean, Kerry, etc. Anyone got a better one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMA Report post Posted December 10, 2003 Again, how in the blue hell did this thread turn into a pseudo-abortion debate? I've been trying to figure that one out myself. It's quite obvious--the abortion issue is one of the issues that separates the parties, and we're talking about political affiliation. Hence, it's natural for it to come up. Yeah, but it seems like the wrong thread to start a debate about it. That, and the "debate" was a glorified flame-war. It would be better if a new thread was started to discuss the issue.

Styles 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2004 bumping this thread because it's most relevant and I'm not so egocentric as to start up a new thread about myself. Anyway, with election talk heating up, I started thinking "am I really registered"? Some of you might be thinking, wait a minute, I thought you registered, as a Dem in fact? In this very thread I said I filled out a form when I got my drivers license a couple year back to pre-register (and for it to go in effect when I was 18), and registered Democrat since I hadn't really aquired much of a political affiliation yet and my family are Dems. And then I just forgot about it, assumed when I was 18 it'd be official (I'm 19 now). Well.... I first became suspicious during the primary season when my parents were recieving all this junk in the mail from the party, yet I wasn't. They also recieved forms for voting locations...I didn't. I pretty much knew something was up there, but I decided I wasn't going to vote in the primary anyway once Jomentum ran out and Crazy Howie wasn't there to give the ole' sabotage vote. So I chalked it up to some error and forgot about it. Well finally today I got around to calling the local election board, and sure enough....SWERVE~! they have no record of me at all. I never was a Democrat this whole time! JR: Son of a bitch. King: I can't believe it JR! So....I'm going to print out the form soon and hopefully get officially registered already. I'm thinking I'll probably just go Independent since the Dems disgust me and I don't know if Im quite ready to throw my hat in with the REAL evil empire lol2004~! quite yet. (But hey KKK, I guess this means any doubts you once had about my rank in the KKKonservative Brigade can be quelled ) But hell, I'm willing to be bought. So if reps from both major parties would like to try to woo me to join them, here is the place. That's right Dems, I want to hear about how it's gonna rain this weekend all to line George W.'s blood soaked pockets (I'm looking at you INXS). And for you 'pubs, be sure to let me know how the President can heal the sick with his mighty staff (I'm looking at you Marney....um....Marney....hey where'd she go?) So go ahead. PIMP YOUR PARTY!

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2004 Registered Republican. I could give two shits what party you are registered under. And might I say for the record, I don't like the "kkk" in the kkkonservative Brigade. Having the "kkk" in the title gives the impression I am the leader, and I am no greater than the rest of my brethren. Except for the General, of course. Fellow members, call our group what you want. I will still use the "Con" though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Wildbomb 4:20 Report post Posted July 1, 2004 In all honesty, you can be registered as whatever the hell you want, as the political parties are different in each individual state. I mean, look at the difference in the last four governors of my home state: We went from Weld, to Cellucci, to Swift, to Romney. And that's all in the same damned party. As long as you vote for whoever you feel will do the best job, no matter what people say, it shouldn't matter. Unfortunately for me, though, I don't think I fit into kkk's konservatives role... --Ryan ...ah, well, shit happens... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted July 2, 2004 Well, as things have moved forward, it seems I'm faced with the decision of marking down either Kerry or Bush, and running for the nearest toilet, or some third-party bozo who can't win. I doubt I even bother this year, honestly. Bush is a creepy jesus freak, and Kerry is a personality-free guy in the middle. No thanks, America. If I do, it'll probably be for Kerry. Ugh. Regarding the ancient abortion battle in this thread, if Birth Control pills, patches, etc were available OVER THE COUNTER (or at least behind it, without a perscription), there wouldn't be as much to debate about.
