So Australian politics won't ever get a mention? X)

Not until elections, anyway. Besides, NZ had it's big flag debate, enough attention on Oceania now for, say, 20 years :).

I love astronomy, and believe we should study it more. However, let's face it, space programs are ridiculously expensive and give little to no actual research :P

Plays from United States: Kansas

Ever heard of a proxy? You talk to Karl so much, after all.

Now Im just going to leave my personal opinions on these matters.

-Israel and Palestine are both shit piles doing the same horrible shit to the other, no sides are to be taken.
-Drones should be used only for surveillance on high risk nations (ex: unstable, in civil war, etc.), and used for combat only against enemies we have declared war, not this "Police Action" bullshit.
-Military spending should be increased only to develop new technology. However considering we have more spending than the top other 5 nations combined, we could drop a few billion into something more important, like healthcare advancement or education.
-Demilitarize the Police. You have a problem that involved high powered weapons? We have the national guard in every state, plus Reserve troops.
-Term limits for EVERYONE. Not just the President.
-Pull back all US troops from the Middle East, Europe I'm okay with, 90% of that continent is in someway under American influence, whether in NATO or the EU.
-Stop giving every motherfucker Welfare who wants it, give them a drug test before we even consider it.
-No gun restrictions unless it is an actual military firearm (ex: Full auto, 50cal BMG, etc). If it looks "scary", that's because guns are supposed to either kill someone, or scare them off. Not ask them to go watch a 90 episode marathon of My Little Pony.
-Make the Government smaller. Less Government= Less room for corruption (sometimes).
-Press charges on Government officials who commit crimes (like Clinton).
-Keep the death penalty, use it for anyone who commits a successful terror act (like Boston), and/or offer it to anyone serving life in Prison.
-End allowing Corporations to make huge contribution to campaigns.

I have more but I dont feel like typing them.

Military spending should be increased only to develop new technology.

Or just, y'know, spend on research-development directly.

Drones should be used only for surveillance on high risk nations (ex: unstable, in civil war, etc.), and used for combat only against enemies we have declared war, not this "Police Action" bullshit.

I'm not really against using them in fighting so long as it's been officially declared and all that. Using fighter drones in Syria is fair game (as fair as war gets), using drones in Yemen or Somalia is not. Also, what do you need surveillance for? It gives the same "world-police-dictator" vibe that want these folk to take down America in the first site - this is why America is rated #1 threat to world peace in a worldwide.

No gun restrictions unless it is an actual military firearm (ex: Full auto, 50cal BMG, etc). If it looks "scary", that's because guns are supposed to either kill someone, or scare them off. Not ask them to go watch a 90 episode marathon of My Little Pony.

Do you really want for guns to be sold to former murderers, or mentally unstable folk? That's just asking for trouble.

Press charges on Government officials who commit crimes (like Clinton).

What crime did Clinton do?

Keep the death penalty, use it for anyone who commits a successful terror act (like Boston), and/or offer it to anyone serving life in Prison.

It's just a cheaper (or should be cheaper) way to punish someone. Forget humane "lethal injection", they did an inhumane thing, so we will end your humaneness, hopefully in a like way as you did to your victims.

Also, in America, though, death penalty as is, way too used.

End allowing Corporations to make huge contribution to campaigns.

Good in theory, but you can't stop them, even if you illegalise it, there are ways about it. Just go with the way that gives the most freedoms, when in doubt: let corporations donate to politic campaigns.

Banishment is better than death penalty.


Send criminals to a *self-sustained* community prison where they will *learn* new skills. They will work as a society. Few *state* expanses. There is a lot of unused land.


It works pretty much as a colony. I have heard that the first colonists in America were mostly criminals.

Update :

Those things exist. Penal colonies are employed in some places.

I'm all for reknacking folk, but for some crimes, I think it would be unbearable to the victims' families to let the person's life go living.

sorry. I am no native speaker and I think I got this point wrong:

*For mandating hiring based only on sex, ethnicity, skinhue, and "gender".

Are all of this men/women for discrimination because of your sex, ... in the hiring process?

Yes, it is forcing to make sure that at least 25% your workforce is women, 5% is blackskin, some things like that. No such quota for whiteskin men.

I agree with you on a fair amount of things, OP. But I'd say Ted Cruz is worse than Donald Trump (I agree Trump is still pretty bad).

I *think* he's referring to Bill, not Hillary.

Probably the BEST thing ever said on WarLight regarding how to handle criminals. Why spend shittons of money to make _DEATH_ COMFORTABLE? Guy's gonna be dead in a couple minutes anyway. Just go full-indonesia and pew pew his chest. Or even cheaper, slice his neck and call it a day. One knife can probably score quite a number of death sentences and is super cheap.

Also a big +1. Lots of people complain about it and say making it illegal will solve the problem. That's too optimistic and utopic, really. Just giving them full freedom for it would be better.

I speak from a country that's literally in goddamn ruins because of such company <-> politician transactions. You don't really have to be doing it legally; it's easy to work it around.

I have my own list of plans:
Plan:
Economy:
Place a quota of jobs for companies that must be filled in the US. This will generate money by stopping overseas shipping and bringing jobs home. This will be about 1-4% of the jobs in the company.
Subsidize farming to bring interest into the field, and keep our nation a bit more sufficient.
Limited amounts of fracking. If sustainable areas are able to be set up for wildlife, fracking could increase
Make minimum wage at the level needed for sustaining oneself.
No extra taxes on the rich, but increase tariffs.

Military:
Cut spending and size of the military slightly.
Formally declare war on ISIS. Bring ground troops.
Try to broker a peace with Assad. Fighting a potential ally will result in more lives lost.
Rally the UN to a coalition against the Islamic State.

Foreign Policy/Immigration
Allow Iran nuclear power, but weaponry will result in sanctions
Keep NATO, but require all members to contribute a certain amount of their armed forces to the organization.
Cooperate with Russia to take down threats in the Middle East.
Give all current illegal immigrants citizenship. Illegals after that will have to go through citizenship
The children of those mentioned in rule 4 will be given temporary citizenship until they are 18, and then must go through the same process.
Place a quota on refugees from Syria and Iraq. A large rush of refugees could result in social problems.
Social policy/environment/technology
Allow gay marriage to be decided by state. All territories, bases, and Washington DC will abide by federal law.
Encourage free speech at colleges.
Place more money on education. Learning is an important aspect of life.
Revive NASA and place a greater emphasis on its possibilities.
Allow states to decide the death penalty.
Require a background check on buying guns.
Introduce the idea of nuclear power.
Provide money to national parks, and allow limited mining and logging in them if agreed.
Eminent domain can be used only if the reason for use is logical
Allow abortion,
Do not provide universal healthcare, but do subsidize insurance companies which provide healthcare to the poor.
Let the district choose whether or not evolution is taught in schools.

No extra taxes on the rich

Terrible plan already

Terrible plan already

Agreed, remove most taxes on folk and only keep tariffs and property tax. You have no right to other folks' money.

The income tax is the worst thing to ever happen in American history. It paved the way for huge government, which is never a good thing. I don't understand how people are okay with the government just taking what you earn.
