Where do you stand on abortion? Are you pro-life, or pro-choice? Do you support abortion in cases of rape, incest, or other scenarios?

I am pro choice.

Where do you stand on capital punishment? Do you think the federal government should allow the death penalty? Do you support capital punishment in cases of extreme crimes such as terrorism or Flash Mob?

I support this, I think it should happen in terms of extreme terrorism though (like osama bin laden)

Where do you stand on euthanasia? Do you support the idea of programs like ones for euthanasia, or no? Do you support euthanasia if a young child is the one who makes the decision?

I don't support this a lot, but if adults want to do it then let them if it's a bad illness or there's no hope to cure them. I don't think children should be making this decision at all however.

Where do you stand on abortion? Are you pro-life, or pro-choice? Do you support abortion in cases of rape, incest, or other scenarios?

I support abortion in all cases, I know that there are people of different beliefs and I respect it.

Where do you stand on capital punishment? Do you think the federal government should allow the death penalty? Do you support capital punishment in cases of extreme crimes such as terrorism or Flash Mob?

Now people would go onto say that even criminals need to be treated fairly, but when it comes to fairness, if you have a heinous crime that you have committed I believe you deserve a punishment equal to the crime. So I do support the death penalty and I believe that capital punishment should be saved for the lowest of the low.

Where do you stand on euthanasia? Do you support the idea of programs like ones for euthanasia, or no? Do you support euthanasia if a young child is the one who makes the decision?

I believe that euthanasia should be kept for those who are completely inoperable and need mercy. For example, someone is in a vegetative state and would never be able to live a life outside of their bed, do you think it's fair for them to keep living on that way? I don't, I believe that they should have the right to die peacefully and without any more pain. On the debate about how young the child can be to request euthanasia is something I've been on the fence about, because there seems to be no true answer in which a person can fully make a well-minded decision that serious at a certain age.

he's going to say yes. it doesn't matter how horribly you try to word it
he might try to beat around the bush about it but whatever he says, deep down it's going to mean "yes"

Shame on him.

I'm fine with Abortion in any case at all.

I'm fine with it in the case of rape but if you're stupid and trying to get laid all the time and then getting pregnant then you deserve it. Unprotected consensual love is a choice, rape is not.

a) very few abortions are "lol who needs protection when you can get abortions"
B) forcing someone to raise a child isn't a good punishment. Someone irresponsible enough to do the above wouldn't make a responsible parent

Fair enough. That makes sense, didn't take dipstuff parenting into consideration.

it's the opposite of a good punishment
you're not even punishing the parent, you're punishing the kid

- killing oneself is not permitted in most religions

The people who say that can go forget themselfs

To the people who say they don't agree with abortion under any circumstance:

What if a women was raped, and would die if she gives birth. Additionally what if the child was going to be born with a horrible disability with a high fatality rate? Is it really more moral to let a women die and a child suffer for a few years and then die, rather then killing a fetus?

I am aware that the gun discussion has passed, but there are few loose ends I want to tie up.

Quote from: Zloff on November 06, 2015, 12:52:18 PM

he probably means anything that's not a low-capacity non-"armor-piercing" bolt-action wooden-stock rifle that is not painted black and is not shorter than three feet and has only enough rail space for one optic if any rails at all

Military grade is just a catch all term that doesn't really mean much. Often it refers to quality standards in the rifle's production rather than it's effectiveness to kill. It usually refers durability and reliability.

infact there is no real killing power out there. or "stopping" power for that matter

as long as the projectile goes through you and damages a vital organ, all bullets are pretty much damages.

Another thing to note that all rifles are the same, some just do their job better than others. A wooden mini-14 can drop a man just as effectively as an M16/M4 or any other military rifle for that matter.

full auto: Unless you are machine gunner or SAW gunner, full auto on rifles is useless. No military on this earth trains its soldiers to shoot in full auto, if you watch any combat video or if you are in the military every one with a rifle is firing with the semi-auto setting rather than the full setting. Firing in semi is more accurate because there is less recoil and you can control your shots better while wasting less ammo. Your chance to hit a target at long range is much greater with semi than on full.
