Journal Journal: Politics; frustrations of being different 21
I'm having a lot of problems trying to find like minds. Unlike so many out there I don't get my views from a party platform, thus my views on some subjects are classified as 'liberal' other views are 'conservitive.' Here's a little detail; I think you will understand why I have such problem finding people who agree with me.
I am:
- A Neopagan
- A beleiver in christ
- An agnostic (in the sense I believe it is impossible to know for certain)
- A beleiver in evolution
- A beliver that $Diety used evolution to get life here
- Anti Pseudo-Capitalism (US's current economic system)
- Pro individualism
- Pro Government Social Programs
- Pro Tax
- Pro Right To Privacy
- Pro Space Exploration
- Closer to a supporter of the palistanian cause than the Israli
- Pro Charity
- in favor of the illegalization of private schools (don't abolish the schools, just make them public)
- pro education spending
- Anti-mandatory education after eighth grade. (If they really don't want to be there, they won't get much out of it anyway)
- Pro Welfare
- Angainst immigration restrictions (100%)
- Against premarital sex (for myself at least)
- Pro Life when it comes to abortions
- Pro Life when it comes to capitol punishment
- In favor of stem-cell research
- Against Gun Control
- Against abridgments of freedom of speech
- Against abridgments of all those other rights too.
- In favor of extreme separation of church and state
- not against corporal punishment in home or schools (note, not for it either, I think it can be done without, but I don't think it is abuse either, or worse than any other punishment for that matter)
- in favor of lowering the age of legal adulthood (or better yet, make it based on something more relevant than age)
- In favor of major election finance reform
- Against G.W. Bush
- Not a huge fan of Kerry, either
- Pro Obama
- In favor of socialized medicine
- A bunch of other things I forgot to mention
- (EDIT: Late addition to list) a poor speller
Some of this may be contradictory (say so if you think so and I'll try to explain) but I think some things here, most notably being pro life in both situations, is consistent, why does nobody else?
