I'm wondering about the guild members here, so I thought I'd make a thread asking about your general views on current heated political issues. You don't have to go in depth (though you are more than welcome to), but please note whether you support, object to, or are undecided/uninformed on some of these issues.

Here are some that I can think of off the top of my head:

-Abortion
-Capital punishment
-Immigration laws
-Gay rights
-Gun ownership
-the war
-the Three Strike Law
-prayer in public schools
-George Bush/d**k Cheney
-Euthanasia

Feel free to include any other issues I didn't mention that you feel strongly about. Also, what party are you registered under? I'm just tryin' to get a feel for this guild. 3nodding

-Abortion-I'm against abortion
-Capital punishment-I'm for capital punishment
-Immigration laws-I'm for stricter immigration laws. We were founded on immigration, but those people still came in legally.
-Gay rights-undecided
-Gun ownership-pro-guns, as long as you have the proper trainning
-the war-I approve of the war, but I don't approve of how it is being handled right now.
-the Three Strike Law-not sure what this is
-prayer in public schools-person by person basis
-George Bush/d**k Cheney-Used to support them, but I'm starting to get annoyed with Bush right now.
-Euthanasia-After going through some stuff with my own family I'm for euthanasia, esp in cases of senior dimensia. I know that sounds wrong, but it is soo painful to go through!

-Abortion - Completely against abortion. Who the hell do people think they are killing another life because of their mistakes. If you know the child you are going to have will be handicapped to bad, thats you're own flesh and blood right there people!

-Capital punishment - I am pro capital punishment

-Immigration laws - I think they should be stricter and that we shouldn't play favourites. I don't mean to be rude but the amount of pakastainians let into canada is ridiculous. My mother's family is Polish and if they wanted to come and live in Canada they would be denied. And why aren't there any convenient stores that are run by white or black people in Ontario? I am pro immigration laws but I think they need to be changed.

-Gay rights- Completely pro gay rights.

-Gun ownership - No opinion.

-the war - In Iraq? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Pull the troops out of there and bring them home.

-the Three Strike Law - In some situations yes.

-prayer in public schools - NO! scream That is completely ridiculous! If I wanted to pray in school I would go to a catholic school. I mean I don't want to have that bullshit pushed down my throat. I am a wiccan and I am proud of it.

-George Bush/d**k Cheney -They can die

-Euthanasia - Support

Euthanasia is "the intentional killing by act or omission of a dependent human being for his or her alleged benefit." Assisted suicide basically, usually requested in terminal disease cases.

What is the Three Strike Law?
PostPosted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 5:25 am


Three Strike Laws are upheld in California and have been for, uh, ten years? I think...Anyway, it requires the state court to sentence a repeat criminal of three serious offenses to an extended period of incarceration.

This is the list of punishable offenses under the Three Strike Law.

I say no to three strikes because first time you murder, rape, steal etc. the only thing you deserve is a bullet to the head

-Abortion: I'm sorta on the line on this, yes if it's a rape baby, insest, within a certain time limmit, there would be harm to the mother, or is only going to linger a few months and die. (The last one is what happened to my cousin's neighbor. They didn't want their baby to suffer and slowly and painfully die so they had an abortion to spare it.)
-Capital punishment: Unsure
-Immigration laws: I say make it easier for them to be able to come to the U.S, some have fled here from some type of persecution; religon, race ect.
-Gay rights: HELL YES!! Let them be as miserable as the rest of us.
-Gun ownership: As long as people follow the rules and regs and it is handled with care, yes.
-the war: A little hasty getting into it. But now we have to finnish what we started.
-the Three Strike Law: Yes if it's the third rape or murder or something similar to that, not so sure about stealing.
-prayer in public schools: NO! At least not forced on me. I don't care if it's an individual thing, but it shouldn't be forced. Besides, as long as tests are given, there's always going some one in the class praying...
-George Bush/d**k Cheney: They both have their good points and bad.
-Euthanasia: If it's written and it's for their own good, let them have death with dignity. I too have recently gone through something like this with my own family. Believe me, it's a lot better to let them die with some grace, than to just let them waste away in pain, knowing they will never recover.
