- 1 I believe the War and Occupation in Iraq to be morally wrong, and irresponsible. The benefits, in my opinion, do not merit the cost in American lives and U.S. dollars.
- 2 In my opinion, Israel is a hate-spreading country whose government sanctions and executes terrorist actions, such as the occupations and attacks of Palestinian towns. Also, the "Israeli West Bank barrier" is, in my opinion, segregationist, hateful, and tantamount to the inhumanity of the Berlin Wall.
- 3 I believe abortion should be legal, but only during the first trimester. I oppose abortions during the second and third trimesters, especially Partial-birth abortions.
- 4 I also support the eventual and progressive legalisation or decriminalisation of most other controlled substances.
- 5 I believe the USA PATRIOT Act to be in violation of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
- 6 I don't see any reason why a burger-flipper should make $7 an hour. A $7 minimum wage would hurt the economy. It would lead to more outsourcing. It would have a disastrous effect on labour, in my opinion.
- 7 As long as said charities offer the same services or benefits to all citizens, regardless of color, creed, sexual orientation, or any other discriminating factor.
- 8 The notion of having the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag is, in my opinion, entirely ridiculous, because many Americans, including myself, to do not believe themselve to be "under" a God.
- 9 And I think it should be more extreme. Someone that brutally murders someone shouldn't be treated to the gentle and painless death of lethal injection. And why are executions private? Murderers don't deserve a private death. They deserve a painful and public one. I'd support the return of hangings, the electric chair, firing squad, gas chambers, even beheadings. Why should murderers die gently?
- 10 I think many sentences are too lenient. For instance, I would support the institution of the death penalty for rape. I would also favour stiffer penalties for DUI convictions.
