H>H  Personal answerNo

H>H  Personal answerPro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child. These quotes from Mother Teresa sum up my feelings about it: "Please don't kill the child. I want the child. Please give me the child. I am willing to accept any child who would be aborted, and to give that child to a married couple who will love the child, and be loved by the child." "Any country that accepts abortion, is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants." "It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish." "The so-called right to abortion [...] has portrayed the greatest of gifts -- a child -- as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters" And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign." "But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love, and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts. Jesus gave even his life to love us. So the mother who is thinking of abortion, should be helped to love - that is, to give until it hurts her plans, or her free time, to respect the life of her child. The father of that child, whoever he is, must also give until it hurts."

H>H  Personal answerYes

H>H  Personal answerYes, if they are trained and have a reliable way to ensure the gun does not end up in the wrong hands yet is easy enough to access.

H>H  Personal answerNo, and sem-sex (by birth) couples should not be able to adopt children, and neither should anyone else who is not a born-man and a born-woman who are married. (No single people, either)

H>H  Personal answerNo, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage

H>H  Personal answerNo, children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions. And ban all gender transitioning treatments.

H>H  Personal answerYes, except in jobs where gender identity matters. For example, a gay man shouldn't see boys naked in non-medical environments. And if the behavior they choose, rather than simply the orientation they don't get to choose, interferes with their ability to perform all aspects of their job fully, then they can be discriminated against. For example, an openly and clearly gay man working as a server af a restraunt may make customers feel uncomfortable. In this case it is their behavior, not directly their orientation, that can be discriminated against. I think I should be discriminated against for my religion if I choose to say that my religion means I can proselyte freely to unwilling customers.

H>H  Personal answerReform to a flat tax, or a flat tax for income after poverty level, and raise poverty level to the amount of money needed for a reasonable standard of living for someone with average financial literacy. Teach financial literacy in school. The lowest income I can consistently find people online living comfortably with is $7k, with some DIY skills.

H>H  Personal answerNo

H>H  Personal answerYes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech, and people say stupid things and shouldn't have the government get involved for it. Encouraging violence should be regulated, but not expressing hate.

H>H  Personal answerNo, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender

H>H  Personal answerYes, make it a living wage and adjust it according to inflation regularly enough to keep it a living wage. Perhaps enough to make $24k a year when working full time. I've heard of many people happily living on $7k per year despite having much more (even being rich). However, this does require some time to aquire skills for DIY. So $24k may be more reasonable for people without those skills.

H>H  Personal answerNo, but people who know they have coronavirus should be required to stay at home, be given extra assistance if needed, and be charged for negligent manslaughter or something similar if they disobey and it results in someone's death.

H>H  Personal answerNo, but they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support

H>H  Personal answerYes, but it should only cover very basic and simple topics

H>H  Personal answerYes, but people should be allowed to opt out.

H>H  Personal answerNo, this will encourage people not to work, harm economic growth, give the government more power, increase national debt, and let the communists finish taking over (especially the politicians)

H>H  Personal answerYes and no. End the gun show loophole. Do not require a course for a license to own a gun, or else it will be limited by income, time (doctors may be too booked to class the class, for example), and supply of teachers and spaces in each class. No discrimination on a religious basis. Even Muslim terrorists are likely to lie about their religion or get a gun illegally anyway. Make sure it is possible for people with mental health issues to get it, provided that their condition is controlled well enough. People who have gone to a mental hospital before should not be disqualified from having a gun, as long as their condition is controlled well enough now. Otherwise, many people who need a mental hospital will not go, and many who needed it because of overwhelm from temporary and possible unusual circumstances, such as abuse, will not be allowed to have it when they are perfectly able. 3D printing of guns should be legal for those who qualify for a gun. I'd support adding gun use to the required high school curriculum, using fake bullets. The government should pass laws that help people not be restricted from using their gun when in danger. Really, I think the govenerment should appoint a team of experts to make decisions regarding gun laws. Perhaps experts on psychology, sociology, gun political science, political psychology, ethics, philosophy, the Constitution, law, and research evaluation. That way they can consider all angles of each decision and evaluate research to see what research is good and thus can be used for decision making or not.

H>H  Personal answerYes, as long as it is safe for them to return to their country

H>H  Personal answerFlat tax it and continue to offer tax incentives for things that help the economy (in ethical ways), provided that they ultimately make us more money

H>H  Personal answerYes

H>H  Personal answerYes

H>H  Personal answerYes, but only with euthanasia that kills instantly.

H>H  Personal answerNo, athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate

H>H  Personal answerYes, it is a religious right. Plus, if they are being that clear that they are Muslim, they clearly aren't going to be a terrorist. Everyone will be watching them with that suspicion, so they wouldn't be able to get away with it.

H>H  Personal answerNo, then they'll get rid of mentions of religion. They shouldn't be allowed to determine what is fake or real news. Plus it would have prevented the Ranch Dressing Poptarts prank.

H>H  Personal answerYes, but prisons should be standardized and reformed according to available research on reforming prisoners.

H>H  Personal answerNo

H>H  Personal answerNo

H>H  Personal answerYes, but only to protect the country from human rights violations by a tyrannical ruler

H>H  Personal answerNo

H>H  Personal answerYes, preventing women from serving in combat roles is discriminatory, but they should still have to meet the same requirements, and should not be drafted into combat roles. They should also be offered free birth control to prevent problems from rape by enemies.

H>H  Personal answerYes, and use the U.N. peacekeeping forces to protect our interests

H>H  Personal answerNo

H>H  Personal answerNo, we should not decriminalize drugs, except under supervision of a medical professional, and we should I clude mental health education in schools to teach alternatives to calming yourself with drugs like marijuana.

H>H  Personal answerNo, but they should not be put in a normal prison if they are willing to be rehabilitated.

H>H  Personal answerYes, as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime

H>H  Personal answerNo, if an organization is given a lot of money for political opinions, it is like a vote and should be allowed to use it to fund political change.

H>H  Personal answerYes

H>H  Personal answerYes, but only for breaking laws that hurt people.

H>H  Personal answerYes, and the government should require treatment, which will be paid for by the person paying what they can and the government finding a way to pay for the rest in ways other than directly funding it themselves. Terminate benefits where necessary.

H>H  Personal answerIncrease

H>H  Personal answerNo

H>H  Personal answerNo, but increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products

H>H  Personal answerNo

H>H  Personal answerYes, but not for cosmetics

H>H  Personal answerYes

H>H  Personal answerYes, but only for medical use

H>H  Personal answerYes

H>H  Personal answerLet's see what happens in the other countries and then experiment with it if it is worth it. It is worth it if it increases GDP and/or significantly improves mental health and family ties.

H>H  Personal answerHelp, except with teacher tenure.

H>H  Personal answerNo, only legal citizens should be allowed to vote

H>H  Personal answerNo, this is a violation of free speech

H>H  Personal answerContinue to provide welfare for those who need it, and only provide economic stimulus in ways that will ultimately not increase our national debt.

H>H  Personal answerNo, but allow donations from unions and non-profits

H>H  Personal answerYes

H>H  Personal answerPolice should still exist for violent crimes and crimes where people are likely to be willing to be violent, such as robbery. We should take all the steps we reasonably can to prevent people from becoming criminals, as well as preventing crime. We could prevent people from becoming criminals by strengthening the family, such as by making some forms of “discipline” illegal that have been proven by many, many quality studies to have negative long-term effects. We can also include a mandatory “Family” class in public compulsory education to teach the essentials of parenting for the best outcomes in children and for happy and successful marriages, which are the basis and foundation of good parenting. The education and welfare systems can also be improved. We can prevent crime from people who chose to be criminals anyways in many ways. One way is to make sure all law-abiding (background checked), trained, safe citizens can have a gun and ammo. Other jobs should be created to take care of non-violent crimes previously addressed by cops. Cops should also get anti-discrimination training. Research shows that this is possible. Cops should be trained in this until they show that enough or all bias has been trained out before interacting with people in those minorities. Complaints against cops should also be taken very seriously, and investigated as a high priority, and local stations should not be afraid to fire officers for gross negligence. Those who commit negligence but not gross negligence should be retrained in the thing they violated and be put on probation. It would also be helpful for cops to build relationships with the community, or at least know who everyone is, so that they are virtually 0% likely to shoot someone they think is violent, who actually called 911 for help. In fact, police should be trained on how to safely apprehend violent criminals without killing them if possible, to further prevent unnecessary killing.

H>H  Personal answerMore. We should raise the minimum wage to a beginner's living wage and only provide welfare to those who are incapable of working and for up to 6 months in between jobs. People with repairable conditions should be actively getting treatment and doing all that they can to support themselves. The government should find ways besides direct funding from the government to help people get treatment when they can't afford it. For example, they can ask people to donate to charity, do crowdsourcing and crowdfunding, and hire a paid or unpaid (volunteer) worker to find ways to make money for the person, such as through GoFundMe.

H>H  Personal answerNo. I believe that the writers of the Constitution were divinely inspired (I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). I personally believe (not a church opinion or anything. My own) that the reason they said only land-owning men should vote was to prevent the uneducated from making bad voting decisions. While I believe that women and non-property owners should be allowed to vote, I think it is wise to find a way to preserve the original intent. So perhaps voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote. This should NOT include calling certain OPINIONS right or wrong.

H>H  Personal answerYes. I fancy the idea of the government hiring professionals to evaluate spending regularly to require government funds be used as efficiently as possible/practical. Eliminate non-vital costs we cannot yet afford, even if they could be part of an ideal world. We must work our way up to a better world wisely, and that means getting out of debt as much as possible.

H>H  Personal answerYes, measures have been taken so it is now one of the safest sources of energy.

H>H  Personal answerYes

H>H  Personal answerNo, I would respect them more if they did but they shouldn’t be required to

H>H  Personal answerYes, if they're willing to follow all its rules

H>H  Personal answerDecrease as much as needed to prioritize our own needs. We don't want to be so stretched thin that we are easy pickings.

H>H  Personal answerYes, this is an act meant to signify aggression, which, in insignificant amount of cases, will escalate to worse things in the future, and it may cause fires. We should maintain at least some semblance of patriotism required. Because if they hate the country, then they are not loyal to it, and are likely to commit treason, which is rightfully punishable by death to prevent the overthrow and collapse of the government.

H>H  Personal answerNo, and we should privatize more public transportation services

H>H  Personal answerYes, but only with allied countries.

H>H  Personal answerIncrease, and better prioritize mental health. Often, military members' psychiatrists are told not to diagnose them with conditions they have, because then the government would be required to pay to help them with the disorder, and the budget isn't big enough for that.

H>H  Personal answerYes

H>H  Personal answerNo

H>H  Personal answerYes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation. Until then, they have forfeited their rights by breaking the law, and should not be allowed to vote if they are willing to hurt the country like that.

H>H  Personal answerYes, but companies should not.

H>H  Personal answerYes

H>H  Personal answerYes, adjust them yearly for cost of living

H>H  Personal answerNo, but they should not tailor the political advertising to only show to people who agree with it. This will increase political polarization and lead to war.

H>H  Personal answerNo, this violates the Amendment about doing trial twice.They should keep the sentence they got. But I approve of alternatives such as house arrest, and I certainly approve of training community service, given there are no opportunities for child abuse, stealing, etc.

H>H  Personal answerYes

H>H  Personal answerNo

H>H  Personal answerThat is fine, but the government should never be the majority stakeholder

H>H  Personal answerYes, it will bring economic growth to all countries involved

H>H  Personal answerNo, and we should ban the use of sanctuary cities

H>H  Personal answerYes

H>H  Personal answerYes

H>H  Personal answerYes
