Re: Where do you fall on the political spectrum?
not at all. a car, often times, is far more deadly than any gun can be. personally i saw an entire family wiped out in one shot because some asshole was wasted driving the wrong way on the southrn state parkway. http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?se...ews&id=4623873
you know what you are doing, so bear the responsibility, this utter lack of understanding is why the US has such a high DWI rate. i say lower the drinking age to 18, let people handle themselves with some responsibility once and for all. yes, certain cases will always be "circumstancial", which is why we need to enact laws based upon blood alchohol levels, so that the guy who has a beer with his steak isnt tried like the guy goes to a bar for 8 hours and drives the wrong way on a highway, but also, we need to allow people to learn to respect booze. if you give your 18 year old a buncha drinks, and drive them. that is fine. they will learn something earlier.
until people realize tha tcompromise, along with the idea that you can do whatver you want, as long as you dont do it to harm another human, is the only way, we wont get anywhere.
great example, and ill use my own beleifs on the topic is the gay marriage debate. there are a ton of factors.
the gay side needs to realize that for all they demand that they be accepted, they cannot demand that other mentally repsect them, legally yes, but everyone who is anti gay is allowed to be. (until they do harm).
but the so called religous right, is so off base on thier protrayal of gays it is sickening. how can a group of people, who stress equal treatment and peace between humans, deny a human the basic human right to a union. so what if both humans have a cock or a cooter. who cares. seriously, mike poto, and i love the guy, is openly gay, but does the fact that his boyfriend has a dick mean anything to me? not in the slightest. for all i care, they are two really nice people. and that is all that should matter.
but on the opposite end of the spetrum, gays cannot demand a religously based sacrament called marriage, but they can and should demand every fucking right we all have. so why do as jersey did? (which IMHO, is the best idea) and give what we call civil unions, which extend to the GLBT community every right in regards to taxation, adoption, etc that any hetero couple has? if we want to be technical, marriage is a sacrament, and being gay prevents you from truly being a particiapnt in any of the three major religions, so therefore, they are not entitled to the sacrament anyway/
obviously long winded and a bit simplified at the same time, but hey, at least i try.your life is an occasion, rise to it.

Re: Where do you fall on the political spectrum?
It happens in Hungary, too. The 'right-wing' leader is considered very popular among the young population for some reason. He started his political career as the leader of a very liberal party, then in order to fill a power vacuum left by the death of the first prime minister of Hungary since the fall of the soviet regime, he somehow transformed himself into the leader of a now right-wing party. He gained power in '98, but lost it in 2002, and made an unsuccessful attempt at regaining it in 2006. The funny thing is that he and his party now say things even hardcore communists wouldn't dare. And he is still beloved by the same youth that have 'fallen in love' with him during his conservative right-wing stint. 16 year olds wept in the night of the elections as he delivered his concession of defeat speech in 2002.Comment
