Should the government should prohibit gun ownership by private citizens? No, give them their guns. The people who are going to do harm with the gun will either use something else or get it anyway somehow
2. Should Marijuana should be legalized? Yeah, too many people are going to jail for that shizz
3. Should the death penalty be abolition? Yeah, It's mostly because I don't like the prospect of dieing in front of a bunch of people and knowing exactly when I'm going to die and at the same time expecting it. So I'm just using the golden rule.
4. Should the government control, regulate, and ban video games, including banning video game sales to teens? Nope, there was a study that showed that most kids are actually smartest when they play a video games. Could be wrong
5. Should we pull our troops out of Afghanistan? Too much war. At this point I think we need to pull back and recover from our losses under the bush administration
6. Should abortion be legal or illegal?
Legal, this can ruin a lot of girl's lives. I think its a choice. Besides that would be a bad setting for the kid anyway because the parents never wanted him and they wanted to get rid of him. It just creates this whole borderline child abuse thing that I don't want to get into >.<
7. Should stem cell research be legal? Nope
8. Should criminals who sexually assault and/or rape children under the age of 13 be killed, castrated, chemically castrated, or simply imprisoned and registered as a sex offender? Um, those first few were a bit violent. No they just just be treated like every other sex offender. At least they haven't ended a life. If anyone you should be arguing to have the serial murderers castrated.
9. Should the police get money directly from tickets or should ticket money be put in with other government spending? Heres what I think. I think that the government needs to raise their pay. Getting money directly from tickets is kind of corrupt because they can just go around hounding people. Although I guess the speedometer covers that. Still.
10. Should the police have a monthly/weekly quota of tickets that they must meet? NO HORRIBLE IDEA
11. Should we stop Iran's nuclear weapons program? Yes, anything to do with nuclear weapon is a no go unless it has to do with getting rid of them. I have a paranoia that one day a new nuclear bomb will be dropped and that will somehow cause a zombie apocalypse. Yeah I have a weird mind -_-
12. Should we liberate North Korea and install a peaceful democratic government? Pfft, sure. That went so well when "god" told bush that he needed to send the troops into iraq for a war. Although one of obama's main shticks was that he wanted to pull the troops out of iraq. And not that I think so but that could've caused McCain to be president. And then he would die of old age. And then Sarah Palin would be president. Hence death and destruction.
13. Should the government give money to failing businesses in order to keep them from going bankrupt? I think there should be a cap depending on how many people they have employed to them.
14. Should the government control the economy (command economy), should the government never intervene in the economy (laissez-faire), or should the government intervene in the economy only when it is necessary (mixed economy)? Mixed economy. I don't trust the government with the economy. I don't trust corporations with the economy either. Needs to be mixed.
15. Should lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered individuals be given equal rights as straight individuals? .. -_- Its sad that this is even an important question. Yes I think that everyone deserves equal rights. Furthermore anyone I see bullying or harassing homosexuals in general I will proceed to do these three things in this order: 1. Laugh 2. Call the person an idiot 3. Walk away. I am just sick of all this gay hate.
16. Should we pull our forces out of Iraq? Yes
17. Should gay marriage be legalized? Mhm
18. Should we recognize the independent nation of Kosovo? I'm sorry what? (ROFL)
19. Should we recognize the independent nation of Azerbaijan? .. Sure, I honestly don't care.
20. Should we recognize the independent nation of Jonathanland? Um, no because I dislike the fact that the name is based off of a popular name. Also because its an obscure unknown nation that doesn't have a very obscure name. Gottsta follow the quota
21. Should we recognize the independent nation of South Ossetia? God...
22. Should Puerto Rico become a US state, become and independent country, or remain a US territory? I like the first and last ones. The more land we have the better. Soon it's going to be harder to shove all these obese people in to one spot >.<
23. Should Guam become a US state, become and independent country, or remain a US territory? Same as above >.<
24. Should American Samoa become a US state, become and independent country, or remain a US territory? *points up*

27. Should we make Iraq a US state? I honestly don't care
28. Should we make Afghanistan a US state? Nope
29. Do you think WikiLeaks should get shutdown? Nope I like WikiLeaks XD
30. Should the government minimize it's military spending? It needs to be smaller. Besides crazy problemed nations no one substantial strongly dislikes us for anything other than electing bush >.<
31. Should the government make stronger efforts to stop illegal immigration, especially from Mexico? I honestly don't care if people immigrate illegally over here. My only problem is with the drug cartel. Besides ones they learn english and learn about politicians such as Sarah Palin they're going to be begging to be deported
32. Should citizens of the District of Columbia be granted full voting rights? Sure
33. Should New York City become it's own state, an independent country, or remain part of New York? ... I'm wondering what compels you to ask questions like this...
34. Should the United States create a North American Union with Canada? If so should we allow Mexico to join? Sure and why not?
35. Should the government censor books, movies, and other entertainment mediums? No.
36. Should it be made illegal to deny that the Holocaust happened or to claim that the government is responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks? Freedom of speech :/
37. Should the government offer free broadband internet to all citizens, like Finland does? I don't really care
38. Should the government increase it's power to enforce internet laws and put a stop to internet crimes? Yeah, I doubt thats going to be in any of the major speeches. Promising to wage war on a massively hated country with weak military force is more glorious in the public's eyes than, I'M GOING TO MAKE THE INTERNET SAFER
39. Should the government shutdown 4chan, just /b/, or neither? Let 4chan be
