Any society that brutally murders their offspring is pretty screwed up!

Normal human beings care, sir!
How are the babies harming YOU! Why do they deserve to die?
Maybe the world WOULD be better off with a few less "fucking humans" that think like you!

God help our souls, what have we become?!!!!!!

I've literally had a close friend completely swear me off forever all because I said I didn't care about politics. We got along completely fine for a full year, but all because I told him I didn't want to hear his conspiracy theories, he told me I deserve to live a pointless existence, and the inevitable death the government will bring to me, or something to that effect. So fucking crazy. You think you know some people....

I'm considered right wing. Glad to know you all think I'm wrong without wondering why I think what I think.

Hey now. Don't worry, I can share in your solidarity. Mostly. I live in a college town and I'm not a looney liberal so it's difficult to align myself with some people politically, unless it's about personal freedoms. And even then, liberals want some personal freedoms and not others, and conservatives want some personal freedoms, and not the others...wtf? why would you let the government take anything from you like that?

I follow a path of relatively moral hedonism. I try to enjoy life, while staying in the moral gray area that keeps things interesting. I am a proponent of apathy, but ignorance is unforgivable!

I'd say my political orientation is quite a mess. Most of the time, I'm not really interested in politics (I was, but with the time it gets frustrating and tiresome), and when I have an opinion about something, it could be either left winged, conservative, liberal, or even a bit right winged.

I'd say I occupy the whole political spectrum (without the extremes).

It all comes down to one question: what is your opinion on abortion... dah dah dah. I remember while a graduate student of history we had a libertarian, a democrat, and a republican and they all tried to aim their political speeches towards the youth. It was like some bad cartoon where an old guy in a suit talks about how hip he is to the beat and how he knows the score when it comes to being in with the cool kids. As soon as someone brought up abortion it was serious, blank face, robot politician time.

I am personally a member of the smallest party in the US, I vote for the best person for the job. No voting down the line, no voting for a candidate because he is a member of a specific party - even though he believes in the genocide of small bunny rabbits everywhere, he is a <fill in blank> so I voted for him. I studied history for for years as an undergrad and graduate student and political science was always closely connected. I have had all the debates I can stand and I find that there is no winning no matter what party you belong to or who you are arguing with.

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but I always found it funny:
