Woo! Why you put all this in one thread is beyond me, since you'll get a thread that's very hard to read, but alas. I'll just sum up some of my current believes, then.
Abortion: For.
As long as a foetus isn't able to stay alive outside the womb even with the help of everything modern medical science has to offer, I consider this foetus not as an "innocent human being", but as a part of the mother's body. Or like Fluid put it: as long as the foetus is still an oddly shaped cancer, the mother has every right to have it removed. It's not even a matter of "owning" the baby; there
is no baby, it's simply a part of the mother.
Because a foetus has to be relatively old to stay alive outside its mother, my standard enables almost every abortion to happen.
Death penalty: Against.
Death penalty has nothing to do with what the western justice system is all about. Namely, punishing criminals, rehabilitating and preparing them for reintroduction into the society.
For some loonies this simply can't work and they should be locked away in a mental institution or some prison for the rest of their life. This way they will be seperated from society forever. It's cheaper than death penalty and more fitting to our current moral standards, which highly value human life.
Prayer in School: Against.
In countries that consider themselves free for any religion, there's no place for even the major religion in public schools. Any type of religion shouldn't be forced upon any people.
Sex Ed. For.
Mating is one of the most basal of all biological processes and should be taught extensively in biology class. It's also okay to give some pointers as to how to deal with sexuality and birth prevention in the real world. School shouldn't be all about theory.
If talking about sex with young kids isn't part of your moral standards, that's okay. But do expect them to be confronted with this simple biological process in school, since it's an essential part of this field of science. As is the evolution theory, by the way.
Homosexual Marriage: For.
Although not one of our basic rights, I really think every western society should allow homosexual marriages to happen. Basically, it's just a simple registration for the state that two adult people love each other and live with each other. How can you not allow that for homosexual couples, regardless wether you think homosexuality is "wrong or right" (God, I hate that phrase)?
Gun Control: For.
I think the American government really ought to look a bit more closely at their gun control laws. How do you need a full-automatic handcannon for "self-defense"? I think the American people have every right to defend themselves and own a gun, but some more regulations wouldn't hurt anyone. A simple handgun is more than enough for your safety. Getting one shouldn't be as easy as walking in a gun shop, showing your ID and walking out fully loaded.
You need a driver's license to go out on the freeway right? Why not introduce a
very serious test in safety, maintenance and use for everyone wanting to own a gun? The government should watch the gun sales in the country more closely with good registration, etc. Owning a murder weapon is serious business, but the US government doesn't think it's that much of a problem, right?
That's cold man. That's very cold.
You know.
