Politics and Religion Survey

[lozzop]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place by the way :p

So I'm doing a little religion and politics type survey for my RE class, just to see if there are any similarities between answers and also what the majority of answers tend to be. Feel free to answer as little or as many questions as you like! :) Keep it concise though please.

Where are you from and how old are you?
Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
Are you pro-choice?
How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
Socialism, capitalism or communism? (if you had to pick one, and a brief explanation of why would be appreciated to :) )
How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
What is your view on the death penalty?
What is your view on euthanasia?
Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?

Discuss other people's answers if you want, but I need the answers to be quite short please, a simple yes or no or one word answer with a small explanation is great. Thanks!

 

[Sir Codin]

Where are you from and how old are you?
California. As of this writing I'm 23.

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
No I don't. I'm atheist.

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
I'm for the decriminalisation of all drugs, not just weed. What someone puts into their body is no business of the state and the War On Drugs is a waste of time and money.

Are you pro-choice?
Yes. Pro-lifers are really just anti-women and holding a woman's body hostage for birth against her will is tantamount to slavery.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
Tax consumption, not income.

Socialism, capitalism or communism? (if you had to pick one, and a brief explanation of why would be appreciated to :) )
Capitalism. It allows for the most freedom in the market, less totalitarianism, less restriction on what you do with what you earn, it fits with human nature, and promotes the competition that has led to some of the greatest inventions the world has ever known. You know that car or telephone or iPod or that Nintendo console you just got? Capitalism.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
There is no reason to restrict the right to marriage for any groups whatsoever. Legalize marriage for LGBT groups. Other than that, I don't really hang out with many LGBT's, not out of personal preference, but because I just simply don't get out much.

What is your view on the death penalty?
Too imperfect and has too much potential to be abused. Still, it's a nice option for completely unrepentent monsters so long as its done quickly.

What is your view on euthanasia?
As long as both parties consent and it's done voluntarily, I don't have a problem with euthanasia.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
I'm not very tolerant of certain beliefs, such as communism. At all.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
Rehabilitation and drug decriminalisation will go a long way towards solving our ridiculous prison population (United States)

 

[Atomic Pirate]

Where are you from and how old are you?
Pittsburgh, 17

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
Apatheist. Don't know if there's a god, don't care.

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
Yes

Are you pro-choice?
Yes

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
Taxes are a necessary evil: Nobody likes to pay them, but everyone needs to pay their fair share. Personally I believe that the rich should be taxed more than the poor because they have more spare money than the poor and thus should have to chip in more.

Socialism, capitalism or communism? (if you had to pick one, and a brief explanation of why would be appreciated to )
Socialism. Capitalism inevitably leads to corporations gaining way too much power and buying off all our politicians, and straight-up communism inevitably leads to dictatorships and tyranny.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
I consider myself a straight ally, and I am all for gay marriage and equality

What is your view on the death penalty?
Against, because a) State-sponsored murder sets a bad precedent and shows that the government is no better than the criminals, and b) We oftentimes kill the wrong people, and while you can release someone from a life sentence if they're found innocent, you can't bring back someone who you killed if it turns out they were innocent.

What is your view on euthanasia?
For.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
Unless said views are insane, yes. As long as you're not a crazy KKK/Neo-Nazi/Fundamentalist, I'm willing to tolerate you and even be your friend if you're a decent enough person.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
Rehabilitate. Punishment by sending them to prison does nothing except make them even worse. Time after time again nonviolent drug offenders are sent to prison, where they associate with violent cellmates and as a result are transformed into hardened criminals, so when they get out they are more likely to commit actual crimes.

 

[Trev]

Where are you from and how old are you? 17. No geographic information. Sorry.

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they? Christian

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed? Yes.

Are you pro-choice? Yup.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? No opinion, I don't pay them yet.

Socialism, capitalism or communism? None. I believe what I believe and what I believe doesn't fit into one specific category.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general? Nothing wrong with them. They're human too. Gay marriage is just like straight marriage.

What is your view on the death penalty? If their crime is bad enough, it's fine. If not, it's not.

What is your view on euthanasia? Same as above.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views? Yup.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them? Again, terrible crimes = punishment. Not totally terrible crimes = rehabilitation.

 

[☆Rei☆]

Where are you from and how old are you? - 17, it is probable that I live on the moon.
Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they? - Apatheist.
Are you for the decriminalisation of weed? - Yes.
Are you pro-choice? - Yes.
How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? - Cannot answer this question.
Socialism, capitalism or communism? - Unknown.
How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general? - Why not allow it? I mean how is 2 people of the same gender getting married going to be a disaster to me? Am I going to instantaneously combust?
What is your view on the death penalty? - If the crime was large enough I wouldn't complain, but I still don't like the fact of people killing people just to attempt and make things right.
What is your view on euthanasia? - Same as above.
Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views? - I honestly couldn't care less about what other people's views are just as long as you don't force me into one that I do not wish to be in. (Yes)
And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them? - If the crime was large enough punishment, otherwise rehabilitation.

 

[Sydian]

Where are you from and how old are you?
21, from Alabama.

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
I believe in a God that will invite people to the Kingdom of Heaven for their deeds on Earth, not for just showing up in a building on Sunday.

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
I am.

Are you pro-choice?
I am.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent?
Not informed enough to have an opinion.

Socialism, capitalism or communism?
Indifferent.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
I'm all for it and strongly support it.

What is your view on the death penalty?
Against it. I don't feel like people should get this quick escape from their penalty to their crime. It also doesn't teach them anything either. Plus, like Atomic Pirate said, there are cases where the wrong person gets killed because of this, which is beyond unfair.

What is your view on euthanasia?
Indifferent.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
I respect the opinions of others until they project them harmfully, then I just tolerate it...or pretend to, depending on what it is. I tend to dislike it when people present their opinions ignorantly.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
I think it depends. Some people are able to learn and grow from their mistake while others are unchangeable and will continue in their ways no matter what. It should be treated case-by-case...though, of course, not by death. I've already explained that one.

 

[Oryx]

Where are you from and how old are you?
21, from the US.
Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
Atheist.
Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
Yes
Are you pro-choice?
Yes
How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
I think we could use more transparency but I'm pro-taxes in general.
Socialism, capitalism or communism? (if you had to pick one, and a brief explanation of why would be appreciated to :) )
If I had to pick one pure ideology it would be socialism; I believe in helping our fellow people out and that it should be required of all of us.
How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
Pro.
What is your view on the death penalty?
It's a symptom of a culture too focused on revenge than rehabilitation and should be abolished.
What is your view on euthanasia?
You should be able to do what you want with your own body.
Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
I'm tolerant of views that don't hurt others.
And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
I answered this earlier but rehabilitate.

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

Where are you from and how old are you?
I'm 16 years old from Colorado Springs.

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
I'm an atheistic Buddhist in thought.

Are you for the decriminalization of weed?
Yes, however I'm very against using it. I don't mind it being legal as it's not dangerous or life-threatening, but from personal experiences with family I find it to be very socially detrimental. Still though, I think it should be legal as there's no reason for it to be illegal.

Are you pro-choice?
Without question.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
I don't pay much attention to them on a local level, but I'm all for a hefty increase in taxes all around, as at least that'll keep our fictitious debt number down.

Socialism, capitalism or communism?
I lean towards Marxism, so I guess the communist ideologies sound best to me. They're just horribly mispracticed thus far in history.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
I don't understand how they're any different from a heterosexual person outside the realm of relationships. They're the same, right? I'm also incredibly angered by the system for proving gender dysphoria to obtain an already uninsured sex change. It's downright disgusting.

What is your view on the death penalty?
Life in prison is basically the same, but with the ability to free falsely convicted prisoners. The retribution and revenge involved in the death penalty—particularly with the families of those murdered, in murder cases—puts them no better than the murderer. Deal with the death of a loved one like anyone else would and keep your emotions out of the court system, please.

What is your view on euthanasia?
With knowledge of what's after death, I don't mind it at all. Again, people are way too emotionally invested in the business of others.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
Tolerant? Yes. Open, though? Far from it.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
Rehabilitation is what stops criminals from continuing the path of crime. Does anyone honestly thing throwing a guy in prison for a number of years because of a physically-evident drug addiction is going to help him at all, let alone stop him from continuing the drug?

 

[Nathan]

Where are you from and how old are you?
16, from the Caribbean.
Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
Christian.
Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
Yup.
Are you pro-choice?
Not really.
How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent?
Dunno, I don't pay them.
Socialism, capitalism or communism?
Anyone, as long as I can live decently.
How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
Indifferent.
What is your view on the death penalty?
That it should be enforced on the cases that deserve it(such as multiple homicides, etc...)
What is your view on euthanasia?
Dunno why it's such a big deal. If you're so desperate to die, there's always suicide :D Unless it's an extreme case, where you can't even move :/
Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
Yes, as long as you don't rub them on my face or try to force me to have the same.
And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
Depends on the crime and the mental state of the criminal.

 

[New Eden]

Where are you from and how old are you?
Colorado; 20 Years old.

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
Animism.

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
Yes. I voted on the referendum in my state.

Are you pro-choice?
No opinion. I will be conflicted on this for the rest of my life.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
No opinion.

Socialism, capitalism or communism? (if you had to pick one, and a brief explanation of why would be appreciated to)
Anarchy If I had to pick, probably somewhere between socialism and communism, actually.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
I'm somewhat engaged in the community, actually.

What is your view on the death penalty?
I only support it for those who have performed the more heinous crimes. Other than that, against it.

What is your view on euthanasia?
I'm for it if its intentions are to end incurable suffering.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
I try to be. Some people find me to be very empathetic to their points of view, regardless of their differentiations from my own.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
Punishment still has the likelihood of having someone commit a crime again after their release. In theory rehabilitation would lead to a more functional and less-threatening member of society.

 

[Dustmop]

I tried to keep it concise. Mostly.

Where are you from and how old are you?
United States; 21.

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
Atheist.

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
Frankly, I don't think any drugs should be illegal. As someone else already pointed out, what you consume shouldn't be any business of the state. Also some secret hopes that the easier they are to access, the less waste addicts we'll have left on the streets.

Are you pro-choice?
Absolutely.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
To keep it simple, I feel a majority of it's being wasted.

Socialism, capitalism or communism? (if you had to pick one, and a brief explanation of why would be appreciated to

)
Capitalism. "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have."

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
Well, being bisexual I'm probably biased here. :P
Love is love, man. If they want to be eternally unhappy with their spouse like straight folk get to be, let 'em.

What is your view on the death penalty?
An eye for an eye.

Seriously. Do it. Electrocute 'em. Oh, I'm sorry, that's considered inhumane now. As if what that guy did to wind up in that spot wasn't.. grumble grumble.
At the very least, stop wasting good needles, just reuse the old ones. And stop sterilizing the injection site. What, worried it's gonna get infected? He's going to die. I don't think he's gonna mind if some weird stuff oozes out.
Just stop overcrowding prisons with scum. Most of the waste in those places don't deserve to live. Period. Yet they have full/free medical and dental, and free food for life? On my taxes? ♥♥♥♥ it, just shoot 'em.

(There are some crimes that are not fit for this, sure, and there's always the chance you have the wrong guy.. but life's not fair. Stop giving convicted criminals second chances.)

What is your view on euthanasia?
So long as both (all) parties involved agree, I have no real issues with anything that other people do. We put down a dog that we claimed was a member of the family without asking them, because their quality of life has significantly decreased. If someone feels their life has headed that way, I won't question it.

At least euthanasia is clean. Quick. Simple. Painless. Who's to say they wouldn't just end their life in another way if it weren't allowed? Could you live with that on your conscience?

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
No.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
Depends on the crime, honestly.
But let's be realistic -- most AA members go back. Most addicts in general go back. And some of the more heinous crimes... you think you can rehab a cold-blooded killer? Sociopaths? They're too far gone.

If you catch them early enough, try to rehab. Why not. We waste our taxes on enough other stupid crap.

 

[twocows]

Where are you from and how old are you?
West Michigan. 23.

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
No. I believe all things have a rational explanation.

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
Yes. I think the positive effects outweigh the negatives.

Are you pro-choice?
Yes.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
Taxation is a necessary part of government. I'm fine with the level of taxation where I live.

Socialism, capitalism or communism? (if you had to pick one, and a brief explanation of why would be appreciated to :) )
Humans are imperfect; it is the height hubris to think that any of our existing man-made economic models are perfect. A much better system would take what is good from all of these systems.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
I feel homosexuals should have some not-separate and equal way of obtaining what the law currently calls marriage rights. I have no opinion as to whether this needs to be called marriage or not.

Like most advocacy groups, the long-acronym community is largely reasonable, with a few radicals who go too far.

What is your view on the death penalty?
I'm opposed to it except where it can be established that the convict lacks the mental facilities to change (for example, sociopaths).

What is your view on euthanasia?
I support it in clear-cut cases.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
Generally. Some views (ones that advocate violence, for example) aren't worthy of tolerance.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
Rehabilitate.

 

[Austin]

Where are you from and how old are you?
18 from Arizona

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
Non-practicing Christian.

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
Yes.

Are you pro-choice?
Yes.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
Doesn't really affect me yet, so I don't have an opinion.

Socialism, capitalism or communism? (if you had to pick one, and a brief explanation of why would be appreciated to )
Whatever works.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
I'm very supportive of the LGBTQ community. Love is love.

What is your view on the death penalty?
Against it. Death shouldn't be a punishment for anything.

What is your view on euthanasia?
It's ok as long as it ends obvious suffering.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
Yes. I try not to judge people based on their views.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
Rehabilitate.

 

[Tsutarja]

Where are you from and how old are you?
Florida/19

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
Yes, I identify myself as a Christian. I believe in God and that he does exist, even though I may not go to church.

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
Only for medicinal purposes.

Are you pro-choice?
Indeed I am.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
Taxes are something I feel should just only be collected with what's needed. I feel that we shouldn't be taxed too much if it's not needed, and I also feel that taxes shouldn't be collected in lower than what's needed.

Socialism, capitalism or communism? (if you had to pick one, and a brief explanation of why would be appreciated to )
Capitalism. I've grown up in a capitalist country, and I have no experience with either socialist nor communist beliefs, so I'd prefer to stick with what I know.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
Even though I'm as straight of a person as you could get, I feel that the LGBT community should be able to go about marriage as they wish. It's nothing harmful to everyday lives, and they choose their lifestyle.

What is your view on the death penalty?
I support the death penalty, as long as it is correctly used, and not used on any person that was wrongly convicted.

What is your view on euthanasia?
I support euthanasia as long as it's authorized by the individual and/or anybody close to the person. If it's the public and/or propaganda pushing for one to undergo euthanasia, then that's when I would be against it.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
Yes, I do not discriminate against others' beliefs at all. It doesn't upset me one bit if a person affiliates with the opposite political party, or their sexuality. Same goes for other general views such as religion and stance on other political debates.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
It's important to do both, really. A crime is a crime, and punishment is a way to remind a criminal that what they did is wrong. However, I feel that criminals should also be rehabilitated to correct their minds into showing them not to do said crime(s) again.

 

[Nah]

Here we go:

Where are you from and how old are you?
21, New Jersey

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
I'm atheist, so I don't have any religious beliefs.

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
Haven't put a whole lotta thought into this issue, but sure, I don't mind weed being decriminalized. So long as they don't start asking to decriminalize meth or heroin....

Are you pro-choice?
Si senor.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
I think we pay too much in taxes here in NJ, but taxes are an important thing. How else is the government gonna pay for ♥♥♥♥?

Socialism, capitalism or communism? (if you had to pick one, and a brief explanation of why would be appreciated too )
idfk

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
Never understood why gay marriage and gay people are still an issue in America. There's nothing inherently wrong with being gay/bi/trans/whatever, and a lot of the arguments against gay marriage are religious nonsense or pointless semantics.

What is your view on the death penalty?
Basically what Sgt. Dustmop said.

What is your view on euthanasia?
I don't have a problem with this either.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
I like to think that I am.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
I'm not sure. I'm going to go with what some of the other people have said and say that it depends on the person and their crime. Perhaps some people can be rehabilitated into useful members of society, while some can't.

 

[YungKnowledge]

Where are you from and how old are you?

Tennessee and I'm 22

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?

Yes, I am Southern Baptist

Are you for the decriminalization of weed?

Yes, smoking weed shouldn't be a crime when alcohol is legal and way worst. Weed is something that is grown from the earth and no chemically mad like coke, meth, and molly.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?

Everybody should have the right to marry and nobody should worry about anyone else bedroom. Being bisexual myself I feel like that love is love and no one that is not the committed parties in a relationship should have say in anything that goes on that couple relationship.

 

[Nick]

Where are you from and how old are you?
I'm from New Jersey. I'm 22 years old.

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
I think religion is a coping mechanism for the unexplained and difficult to accept happenings in the world.

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
I am in favor of it.

Are you pro-choice?
I am.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
I think we pay too much, especially considering that most of our population is made up of middle class labor workers and we aren't paid enough to support ourselves.

Socialism, capitalism or communism? (if you had to pick one, and a brief explanation of why would be appreciated to )
Not educated in the three to know much about them.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
Obviously I'm in favor of it, but it doesn't affect me so I don't care enough to really throw more support for it.

What is your view on the death penalty?
Basically I'm in favor of it for cases of murderers.

What is your view on euthanasia?
I'm in favor of it being the only method of issuing a death, whether through a death penalty or otherwise.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
I'm not really sure. I don't really care about someone's opinion unless I ask for it.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
Rehabilitate.

 

[Khoshi]

Where are you from and how old are you?
I'm from Australia, and I'm 15.

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
I do not. Religion is for those who need assistance in creating a life path, that's how I see it.

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
I am. I don't think that it's the drug that's the issue, it's more who takes it.

Are you pro-choice?
Yes I am.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
I don't know much about taxes, so n/a.

Socialism, capitalism or communism? (if you had to pick one, and a brief explanation of why would be appreciated to)
I actually favour communism above capitalism, but I'm not so sure about socialism. I like the whole equality theme communism has with it, so I think communism would do.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
I don't see what all the fuss is about gay marriage. If people love each other, nobody should get in the way of that love. I like the LGBTQ community, and wish that all the dislike over them would fade into nothing.

What is your view on the death penalty?
Unnecessary. Life prison sentences serve as a better replacement, imo.

What is your view on euthanasia?
Indifferent.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
I like to hear what people have to say, but if they say something outrageous, I wouldn't really appreciate it.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
Depends on what was done and the person who did it. I can't really say.

 

[Ivysaur]

Where are you from and how old are you? Madrid, Spain, 23

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they? Nope.

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed? Yes, under Government regulation and high taxation. At least, the high profits would go to controlled companies and the State instead of to criminal gangs.

Are you pro-choice? Of course. I'm nobody to decide what a woman should do with her body.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? Tax havens should be invaded and wiped off the face of the earth and every country in the world should join to fight billionaire tax evasion with fines x100 the evaded amount. Otherwise, it all seems fine. I think it's stupid to argue about rich people paying a bit more or less, when the people who control half the world's income hide it away from the taxman. But, going to the basics, I think it makes the most sense that you have to pay a larger share of your wealth the richer you are.

Of course, I think that well-spent taxes are the only way to spread wealth, at least to the point where the poorer people can at least survive with dignity, so I don't think they should be cut or reduced or anything. Just well spent, and justifying every cent. And having billionaires who use €500 banknotes to wipe their asses pay much, much more.

Socialism, capitalism or communism? Socialism, as a way to balance the innate desire of corporations and governments to control everything. Have them fight each other under the citizen's oversight.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general? Everybody is free to do whatever they want with their sexual life as long as there is mutual consent, and there is really no good reason to ban two people who love each other from getting married just because they happen to have the same kind of genitalia.

What is your view on the death penalty? I'm against killing people period. There is no "moral" way of killing people, and revenge is certainly not even close to being a justification.

What is your view on euthanasia? I'm completely against murder, even if it's State-sponsored, but I'm nobody to stop somebody from commiting assisted suicide if they are in the last minutes of their lives and there is really no way back, and they ahve clearly expressed their will to die in a dignified manner before it's too late.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views? Eh. Obviously I'll argue against everybody who disagrees with me, and there are some opinions I'll never respect, and I might even lose all my respect for you in some cases, but I won't use violence against you or anything- I'll just try to convince you that you are wrong.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them? Rehabilitate.

 

[£]

Where are you from and how old are you?
Scouseland. An age where I am plagued by a Taylor Swift song.

Do you have any religious beliefs, and what are they?
N/A - I'm open minded and interested in what people think.

Are you for the decriminalisation of weed?
There's more dangerous things out there.

Are you pro-choice?
I'm of the opinion that a woman is entitled to do whatever she wishes to do with her body, and likewise for men. If that involves an abortion, so be it.

How do you feel about taxes and how they're collected/spent? (will depend on where you live)
Could be worse. Could be better. I guess it's a fairly decent system. It'd be very easy to list a ton of flaws if I had the full details of their spending though.

Socialism, capitalism or communism? (if you had to pick one, and a brief explanation of why would be appreciated to )
Socialism. Pure communism/capitalism are flawed.

How do you feel about gay marriage and the LGBTQ community in general?
People are free to do what they want. It's good people are allowed to be themselves.

What is your view on the death penalty?
It's inhumane. An eye for an eye makes the world blind.

What is your view on euthanasia?
There are cases where it is acceptable.

Would you describe yourself as tolerant of other people's views?
...sometimes. It depends.

And finally, is it more important to rehabilitate criminals or punish them?
The former, whenever possible. A mentality of us and them is not going to help the human race progress.

if any elaboration is desired I shall offer it. don't really think there's anything that interesting and worth going into FULL DEPTH on but feel free to prove me wrong. 8D
