So first off, I'm super high right now, so please excuse a potentially poor conceptualization of this idea... but I think it'll all work out... anywhoo....dotdotdot


As everybody here pretty much knows, the political forums aren't exactly the "hang out and chill" area. It seems everybody (including myself) spends their time here arguing, debating, discussing, whatever you want to call it. But there's definately an "us against them" mentallity around here.

So I thought it would be cool if instead of arguing, we share our values and see what we have in common. Not just in comon with your fellow thinkers, but with the conservatives, liberals, libertarians, fundy's, anarchists, nazi space-monky's, and so forth.

How we're going to do this:

I'll list off some of my ideological views. If you share any of the same, post that you agree with it. If you don't agree with some of the ideologies listed, just ignore it and don't say anything. After listing what you agree with, add some of your own if you feel so inclined. Definately clarify on a point you agree with if you'res varries a bit. So lets see what we have in common..

I believe in:

- THE LEGALIZATION, REGULATION, AND FAIR TAXATION OF CANNABIS.

- Medical care for all citizens, regardless of ability to pay.

- Taking serious action on the environment, the kind of efforts and spending nations usually put into wars...... but with something other than blowing shit up for once.

- The right of responsible, law-abiding citizens to own firearms.

- The legalization and regulation of all hallucinogens, in the purest sense (ie. salvia, shrooms, lsd, peyote, ayahuasca).

- A free market, with trade unions and social security.

- Free education, and massively subsidized (possibly free) secondary education since it's becoming so essential.

- Decriminalization of hard drug use, and harsh penalties for illegal production. If you commit crimes and it's deemed to be because of your hard drug use, you're forced into a detox camp for a period several months past the point of withdrawl. If you still go back to drug-related crime on a third offense, then you're facing jail time.

- Disarmament of all nuclear weapons, after an anti-nuke defense system has been perfected. I also don't believe a nation has the right to demand nuclear disarmament when they won't even partially do the same.

- Homosexuality, jackin off, sodomy, and oral sex are none of the government's or the law's damn business.

- Equality of all races, and I mean REAL equallity. No special laws for being a certain race, and no discrimination for being a certain race. If a certain group needs help out of the gutter, help them out. But the law regarding individual rights, taxation, and hiring practices should be the same.

- Majorly subsidized prescriptions for low-income people.
