1. I agree with gay being +1.
2. I couldn't give a flying fuck about your family being in the US armed forces.
3. Stop bragging about people who killed (combined) 200 people in wars that the US started or entered stupidly and brought a bunch of other countries with them.
4. You are the kind of idiot who hates gays for being gay.

I could be classified as "right Wing" however not in the sense of what you people are arguing over, here In America I have no real party. Because Socially I can be classified as liberal, I support Gay Union ( Marriage itself is a word defined as union between man and woman, so I do not condone that usage of the word for my own religious reasons and for the definition of the word itself. I support the legalization of marijuana, for medicinal and recreational purposes (Tax the stuff like cigarettes, make some money for roads and schools, give it 50 years and boom nobody will smoke it cause the anti smoking campaigns will catch on that inhaling any smoke isn't all that good for you) I support equal pay for equal work, I support Racial equality(Most conservatives do, what the media shows is not the entire truth.)

HOWEVER
On matters of the Economy, Foreign Policy, and the military, I fall into line with the conservatives. Less regulation(not elimination of regulation, merely take away enough so that companies can make money and put it into product, for example, the recent Amtrak accident, in I believe Pennsylvania. That stretch of line was bought by the government about 30 years ago if I'm correct, and has not been updated since, however, all of the areas around this track are privately held stretches of track and they are all up to the latest safety standards, hence a failure of Government control and regulation) I support a strong military, in the same way Eisenhower's massive retaliation strategy, have a very strong military, not necessarily large, but extremely powerful, enough to deter any threat and god forbid we are attacked like we were on 9/11, have the capability to flatten an entire country to find and punish those who attacked us. foreign policy wise, I believe that we should not give in to our enemies, such as Iran. they need to be told that they are not allowed to have Nuclear weapons and if they try to make any. were going to make sure they cant make a fucking paper airplane ever again. We need to secure our borders, I am in no way anti immigration, however the border is a sieve for illegal immigrants from around the world, Drugs and possibly terrorists. Our Economy need more privatization, and taxes across the board need to be slashed, for all people, there needs to be a flat income tax of lets say 9% and if you fall under a certain number you pay no taxes because of poverty. so if you make 1000$ a year you pay 9$ but if you make say ten million you pay 900,000 Thus when your rich you pay more but a the same percentage, making it fair for all people. I believe in my countries ability to overcome struggle, but every day more and more I think others are losing that hope and the extreme left wants that, because they don't like America, they want a European socialist state, and look what happens to them, Greece, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Portugal. Even the successful ones tend to feel trapped in the EU sometimes when they don't agree. there are dark times coming for this country if we don't get back on the right track. And I hate to say it cause I may sound crazy, but there is a split that will explode one day if we don't heal this country. or we may have anther civil war on our hands, and this time, the secessionists just may win.

If I may ask a question:
Why can't Iran have nukes and you can have around 10,000?

This got-damn thread won't die.

We were nearly free of politics until some people started up!

Why can't Iran have nukes and you can have around 10,000?

Because Iran follows the wrong book... that's pretty much it.

And who decides the book... (also I am pretty sure that they wouldn't launch it, N.K is far more nuts and they haven't)

America and co. are scared of Iran turning into a superpower in the middle east, and they easily could do so, without sanctions, and all these rules put against them. They don't let them have nukes because that will allow Iran to get even stronger, and probably more advanced than Britain & France, let alone Israel.

Iran is one of those countries that might actually use a nuke. There's that and the fact that many people in the Middle East would want their hands on a nuke, and then there would be more conflict.

True.

Also- OxTheArtist, the care could be made that militarily, Israel is, in a sense, militarily equal/above France and England. In any case, they certainly will be soon. israel is growing economically.

It wont die cause it's so damn funny.

France and Britain are stronger than Israel. Israel is currently stronger than Iran. If sanctions, and room for economic and military development are left for Iran to decide, Iran would easily overtake all of them, in good time.

What Tupac says is true. North Korea are far more nuts than Iran, and you don't see them launching nukes. Even Kim Jong Un is smart enough to know that firing nukes is a stupid decision.

USA, and a few other countries think that they are the bosses of the world, and get to police which countries have nukes and which countries don't. That is ridiculous. Trust me, it takes one overly-mental leader to fire these weapons that the countries have at their disposal, and then the whole policing thing makes no sense, as a country descends into chaos. Iran is only getting so bitter, because they are sanctioned, prohibited from doing things USA thinks.

Note - I think all nukes should be destroyed and no country should have them.

Also the second Iraq war says something very dangerous about the US and nukes, either the US will make false claims to invade nations and use them for their resources. Or the US will invade nuclear armed (or nations they believe to be nuclear armed) without a moments thought about possible nuclear attacks.
Either way it's pretty terrifying. Although since there was no US invasion of North Korea it seems the resources scenario is most likely. Still pretty terrifying.

I thought we already decided on the whole Iran nuke issue thing, but we still have people crying "U.S is such a bully why don't you let poor little Iran have some nukes too?"

So let's restate a few things. Nobody should have nukes, the fact that U.S,Russia,China, and the others already have them is bad enough. The last thing we need is for more countries to build additional nukes. I don't care if freaking Switzerland wants them, no country should have them.

In an ideal world the current nuclear powers would give up there nuclear weapons. However, it's not an ideal world. Nine countries have nukes, and aren't likely to give them up. We can at-least stop additional countries from building doomsday weapons though.

There was only one nation that ever dismantled it's nuclear weapons and that was south Africa. And they were run by Mandela at the time. Unless mother Teresa or Martin Luther King take over countries nuclear dis armament is far off.

Tupac, don't forget Ukraine had a stockpile after the collapse of the Soviet Union, which they either destroyed, or sent to Russia.

There are also some anti-nuke movements in the UK. I find it funny that the parties in the UK that disagree with, and would like to stop the continuation of Trident (The UK Nuclear Programme) are:

Scottish National Party
Scottish Green Party
Scottish Socialist Party
Scottish Solidarity Party

Yeeeeahhh...

So depressing. In reality, the gays should have made a photo of themselves getting shot down like the Japs because they're both Enemies of America. Would have given bonus points if they'd used real bullets for the photo hehe.

Actually, Ukraine did too (I'm pretty sure.). And now Ukraine is paying the price: their being invaded by Russia, who probably would not have invaded a nuclear armed ukraine.

Also, saying a country run by MLK or Mother Teresa wouldn't have nukes is idiotic.

I cannot begin to say how much I hate this douchebag sicko. ^

Tyrion you do realize he's being ironic, right?

Or are you ironically pretending to not understand that he's being ironic?

Wew

"Britain"

Classic. The angry Scot is angry at being forgotten. Go get 'em tiger!

P.S. I'm a Scot too... Don't kill me, please.
