Political Test

[ShaggyX]

MH...you put way too much thought into that. Like me make it simple.

Censorship...Never...good parenting will make up for "bad" images or words

Draft...Never...in a "civilized" world it should never be needed. That said, I like the way Citizens are decided in Starship Troopers. Basically...you have to serve to earn the right to vote....but there should never be a draft.

So, if you have a child in a 3rd grade public school and the teacher teaches them the enitre year that war is the greatest thing, war should always be used to solve all problems, genocide is great, sex between children and adults is cool, crystal meth is good for children, etc ...
You're not going to want the government to stop this? Really? If not, maybe you're really against all censorship. If so, you're for it.

Yeah, they said the same thing in 1938. Throughout civilization, the irrationals have always thought that their society was more enlightened than all the past ones to the point that wars would no longer occur. They were always wrong. Are you right? Nope.

I believe if I am a good parent then they will understand what is right and wrong. I refuse to push the responsibility off on others.

i never claimed to be rational. just saying how i feel. take it or leave it.

Maybe I should add "Censorship and the Draft are 100% bad" to my signature.

Being a good parent includes limiting what you expose your 8 year old kids to. Like say cocaine, child porn, or cyanide. You can't let you kids be exposed to things like that and call yourself a good parent with a straight face just because you are a wise teacher when they get home.

We agree to disagree then. I think your examples are BS, and a greatly over exaggerated attempt to make a point. I may be dumb, but I am not stupid. Part of being "wise" is teaching them to avoid that sh1t...but oh well. Not sure this conversation will get us anywhere.

Shag, you don't vote anyway, so your opinion is mute.

Actually, recent studies show that is a true statement. Between the ages of 6 months and 192 months (16 years), it can dramatically increase brain developement, as well as an array of other skills.

Some nigerian kid will be very lucky someday.

[Marcmedic]

You mean half Nigerian right? Poor kid would have no chance other than to be skinny as hell.

[Mrs.ssippi]

Okay Shag, at the risk of sounding like my mother....Just wait until you have kids. Hawk I think your right.

[PARAGON]

Shaggy..... just shut up. You're not even forming complete thoughts.

That political "test" is by and for the libertarians. The questions are well thought out so that it brings you up centered.

Forest for the trees, Shaggy. What benefits society as a whole for there not to be any form of censorship at any level. What is to be gained from that? What is to be gained by enacting law that bans the draft when you have no idea what's coming down the pike. It's a none issue until it's needed and if you don't have one, you don't have a Country to worry about censorship or draft anymore.
