Carnack	81. RE: Political Compass Jul 13 2010, 5:00 PM EDT "Yes, but homosexuality is a private matter just as heterosexuality is. Being heterosexual has certain obvious benefits over being homosexual in terms of the state. The state must act equally and fairly to both in my opinion, as both are a matter of private persuasion more than anything else." Very true! However when one brings it into the public arena it is no longer private. In addition the state never actually took marriage in hand. It simply added benies to it. As such they can only give that which they have the ability to give in the first place yes? Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Speaking as a law student, I view marriage as a contract and nothing more in the eyes of the state. Provided absolute equal rights are given, I couldn't care what the hell they call it.

" The questions in each poll tend to pull one way or the other. For example, most folks are probably more moderate than the political compass quiz lets on. I'm certainly more conservative than most people in the United States too, but I'm not a hardcore conservative. According to the libertarian test, my little sister (a Democrat) is a Libertarian as well. Maybe a ploy to make people think they're a Libertarian? Post reply Do you find this valuable?

The test is short, so maybe there isn't enough questions to ascertain someone's true beliefs. I am very conservative in some things, lightened up in others, and maybe liberal in the rest. However, I feel both parties of our dominant 2-party system is not working for us and are making huge mistakes in many matters. Therefore, I can no longer vote for any of them (Democrats nor Republicans). Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Provided absolute equal rights are given, I couldn't care what the hell they call it." But the argument is over a word. They want to call what they have marriage. Others oppose. The government never GAVE the right to marriage to begin with (talking America here). They already give various benies to same-sex couples anyway. Overall my opinion is that it's up to the states.

As long as the benefits are unequal, I have a problem with it. If they are equal, people can moan all they like. Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

RE: Political Compass Jul 17 2010, 9:32 AM EDT \| Post edited: Jul 17 2010, 9:36 AM EDT We are on this earth for such a short period of time, what others think of the morality of your actions holds no consequence. Homosexuals and lesbian couples are just as much productive members of society as anyone else so why in a land of religious freedom deny them the right of a title and filing taxes jointly. I understand there is a significant biological aspect to this argument against gay and lesbian couples however heterosexual couples don't require children to receive the title or the tax breaks of filing jointly. Therefore why not let of these couples who's only requirement is to be a loving couple have full marriage rights under the law. And let conservative religious leaders argue the morality of it for the next thousand years. Growing up I was friends with several adopted children from which I learned about the inadequacies and sometimes abuse that happens in the foster system. I can tell you whether it be in the United States or elsewhere having loving parents is the the best thing a foster child can have. Denying joint adoptions to homosexual couples is just another roadblock for children that could have loving homes. Post reply 2 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

SGTGerman	99. RE: Political Compass Jul 17 2010, 6:42 PM EDT "There's a test to take. Did you take it?" Ah right I see what you mean. No I didn't realise mate but too be honest I don't think you can determine it by multiple choice etc etc its too complex. @Everyone else Seriously - you expected people not to talk politics on a "political compass" page? I can sort of see the idea of it but its pretty obvious that this is just building up the fuel for a gigantic fire... Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
