What is your stance on gay marriage or full and equal rights civil unions?

i am all for taiwan being its own state and recognised by all nations
and i would fully back the country and not go back on the word that if anything should happen the US would help the people.

china has enough land and population
and doesnt need taiwan.

if the people of taiwan want to stay free and live in their democracy then i am fully behind them

ethicaly i see it as wrong
but then again ethicaly its none of my business how an individual wants to live his/her life and i have no right to make sure that they cant live as we do.

i would ensure that they have equal rights (same as hetrosexual couple)
this would envolve

Legal in all states
property rights
and all other rights people get

on adoption i would give them a chance to adopt
as long as they are fit to be parents (just like any normal couple)
as long as they give the child a good life i cant really say no to that.

i would rather call it a Civil union then married (but with all the rights as stated above)

Excellent

Would you increase the budget for developing space? And how would you encourage the rest of the world to be part of the development of space.

With the economic power of the US, I see the US as currently the only country that can lead the develop of space.

The United States isn’t the only country with the money and resources to achieve this task,

I would set up a new agency which would involve all countries interested
Into the development of space technology, this would allow people from different countries and knowledge of different areas to work to gather.

This would also mean more brilliant minds can express their ideas to a community that is at their level and not just from their own country

This would allow all countries involved to help financially and with man power to achieve the same goal

This would take the burden of the US paying for everything.

To get them to join I would show them what they can gain
Which would range from improvements in their knowledge of air crafts and other technology which they can use to improve on.

My stance in Iraq is simple.
Get all factions (Sunni and shi around a table) discuss their futures
they have a choice have their people live in fear 24/7 from sectarian violence or sort the issue out. I would ensure that all parties are representing fairly and that all issues that they bring up are dealt with.

For the middle east peace plan

1. I would stop military funding to Israel for a few reasons
> its tax payer money and I doubt a large enough majority support it
> they use the money to buy weapons in which they sell to China so they can copy it
>they use the weapons to kill civilians (which is a bad stain on the US as its done by US weapons and the US gets the bad rep)

2. I would treat Israel like all other countries

3. I would move forward the creation of a Palestinian state with the right of return;
this would mean that the Palestinians have their land back and a home.

I would only do this if Palestinian militants disarm or join the Palestinian national force.

I would ensure that Israel is recognised

(I would use the peace plan given by king Abdullah a few months ago where Israel is recognised by all Arabs and have full diplomatic and trade relations with Israel)

Increase production in areas where trade is strong
and ensure that all products that are brought in from abroad meet strict health and safety guidelines. Insure that countries that export products here don’t miss use their currency and if they do increase the price on import duty. Give more to companies that stay here (less tax then those who choose to get things done abroad)

What will you do about the growing national debt?

Educate people on how bad the debt is
stop borrowing and giving money away, country gives away billions in military aid to countries which already has the resources to buy their own goods without needing hand outs.

i would decrease spending in sectors which don’t need money (cut pay to public servants like congressmen and other areas where they get more then enough to go by)

I would also set up a fund on the side which would be used to go towards the debt

What will you do about the rising education cost for students?

Knowledge is power!
we must keep Education the main priority as Children are the future and more educated they are the more productive they will be for society and the more breakthroughs the country will make.

all schools must be backed by their respected states financially and morally as those kids one day will be the ones paving the future for the country

I would allow increased funding to all schools.

I would give grants to underprivileged kids so they have a chance

Originally posted by Mr Mxyztplk
What are your thoughts on the Kyoto treaty?

Well Climate change is a important issue and we must address it now
and the effects are being felt all over the world and even here. So I would follow their guidelines as long as its fair

Originally posted by Mr Mxyztplk

Education, educate kids when they are young so they know what would happen if they went down the wrong path

Originally posted by Mr Mxyztplk
What is your stance the death penalty and why?

I have split views on this as in some ways I like the idea as it means those who have committed the crimes get what they deserve but on the other hand they have the easy way out as they won’t have to suffer unlike their victims that they have killed.

its up to the people, free speach
i have no plan on controling the media, they can broadcast anything they wish aslong as it doesnt jeperdise anyones life

I like your idea of a new space agency and trying to get the whole world working on the development of space.

With the poor international reputation of the US, how would you go about getting the rest of the world on board?

i would show them the benifits that will arise from their contributions
show them the advancements their nations will make in that field
show them the impact their people will have on the future of the human race. i would show them all the bennifits

Hi Bod, when do you think we will be free and outside of economic slavery.

Would the removal of all religions, border controls, national identities benefit the human race and allow us as one people to progress to the next level.

Should all world military spending be stopped and the money used for the good of all mankind.

Is it time for us to be able to leave this planet in search of new worlds.

How do you open the minds of those who have them nailed shut.

thats all for now.

it wont be during my term but i will do everything in my power to insure that we have ridden our selves of most the burdin, and to ensure that the people have less to deal with.

Religion is the moral backbone of millions of people and in no way shape or form would i endorse the removal of any faith.

I see what point you’re trying to make
the only thing i see is going serculer like most countries and separate state and religion and ban religious symbols in public spaces ( which i will support if people back the idea, i am just a pawn who must do as the people desire)

the military is the defence for this nation and must be credited and supported, there are forces out there that are a threat and by reducing or eliminating the defence of the country we are open to attack

It will be thousands of years before we have to worry about finding another planet, due to the size of the Sun and how it’s increasing in Mass
So while we are here in the present it will be good for all mankind if we do everything in our power to advance in technology that can be used to help in all aspects of life.

there isn’t that much you can do for a closed minded person apart from give them all the knowledge you have hoping some of it will filter into their locked minds.

He who asks a question is a fool for a min
He who doesn’t is a fool for eternity

What will the effect of the NAU have on the US, Canada and Mexico, who will be the losers and winners.

Do Americans have a sense of humour

Is Bush the missing link between apes and humans.

America has a rich and diverse population so why do some Americans fear the influx from Mexico.

Does Alex Jones have a point.

Is the EU idea good or bad.

When will China be the next Superpower.

Did man really land on the Moon.

Great Britain is the best country on the planet agree/disagree

Originally posted by magicmushroom

for europe it is a great idea as it allows free trade between neigbours which would mean a stronger trading partner for us

Originally posted by magicmushroom

in a few decades and the best thing we can do is improve ties and ensure that we have a foothold on them like they do to us
