Details About Me

 * Age: Old enough to know better than to still be here.


 * Favorite color: Blue


 * Dream job: Why have a job when you can collect from your unenployment check?


 * Hobbies: I have no "hobbies". I go about things in a professional manner.



People I Love

 * Mad: She's a sexy and awesome person.


 * Pope Francis: He belives in the Big Bang, respects gays, and knows that whatever goes around comes around.


 * Robert Downey Jr.: Same reason as Mad. Also he's a baws actor. And he has a pretty sexy goatee. And stopped doing drugs. So that's nice.


 * Ronald Reagan: Was an actor in the 50s, survived a bullet at 70 years old, saved the economy, got the most votes in every state except Minnesota and Washington, DC in his second running, delivered the final killing blow to the USSR, and owned a Subaru BRAT on his ranch.


 * Neil deGrasse Tyson: Delivering logic and destroying fairy tales since 1958.


 * Myself: I saved the best for last.

People I Hate

 * Barraco Barner: Why is he getting involved with Russia? Scary.

I Hate When...

 * People confuse feminism (The belief that women = men.) and feminazism (The belief that women > men.)


 * I ask "Who that?" to someone who is doing something weird and they reply "Me.", implying I don't know they do that and am not asking for other examples.


 * People assume I'm a super bigoted Christian neo-Nazi when I say I'm right wing.


 * Christians shun me for my beliefs even though that's exactly what Jesus said not to do.


 * People take my sarcasm seriously because it's so advanced even though my tone screams "I'M KIDDING OMG"



My Stances
If I were president, these laws are what I would put into effect, congress aside. :P (Note: This is meant to conflict with your beliefs. If it doesn't, make sure to vote for me.)


 * "Guns?" Guns aren't the question. Guns are the answer. Any US citizen can get any gun they want. Bullet weapons are all good, whether it's a shotgun, machine gun, pistol, sniper rifle, assault rifle, submachine gun, automatic rifle, automatic pistol, musket, etc. Explosives, rocket launchers, gas, etc, not so much. Those serve virtually no defensive purpose unless YOU ARE A FILTHY CAMPING N00B!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!11 Unless, of course, you are addicted to any drug including marijuana, have used any drug except marijuana in the last 10 years, are 18 and above (See below for more info on age regulations.), have not been convicted of a felony, has not served jail time in 5 years, and passes a 3 day training course: 1 day for basic weapon knowledge, 1 day for practice shooting, and 1 day for safety instructions. Note that licenses aren't needed for anything except any type of automatic.


 * "Open or concealed carry?" Of course. Aint nobody gonna jump you when you're walking down the street carrying an AR15. However, businesses can enfore a no open carry policy inside their store. Or, if you prefer, wear a classy suit with a .44 Magnum in the inside breast pocket. Note that concealed carrying allows you to go anywhere with your gun, including private property, because there has to be a way to stop criminals somehow, and because if you're carrying it right, nobody will stop and tell you to get out because you have a gun. Innocent until proven guilty means that if you break a law and nobody sees it, you didn't legally break anything. Also, I'm not gonna require a license to be had to do it. You want to carry a gun outside, carry a gun outside.


 * "Abortion?" As long as proper precautions are taken by one or both partners and all of it fails, it is OK. Otherwise, sorry. You shouldn't be doing it without protection unless you want a kid.


 * "Republican or Democrat?" A little bit of both, as you will see.


 * "Gay rights?" "With liberty and justice for all." -The thing you say every day in school.


 * "Religion?" It's Atheism, even though that's not a religion. Personally, I don't like religion, but it's not my life's goal to exterminate all religious people, either. Just eliminate their faith and convert them to atheism. :P


 * "Invading the middle east?" I'm gonna get some hate for this, but, yes. Every country deserves freedom. If it involves getting over some obstacles, so be it. It doesn't matter if it's not our business. Lives are lives, and if that means breaking "manners", well... You decide. Besides, put yourself in Bush's place. You've been told the WTC has been hit by two of our own planes. Nobody knows anything more. You realize that if it can happen once, it can happen again. Would you sit idly by, or would you attempt to make a move that would help aid in security of the country, or at least buy some time before the next attack?


 * "SADDAM WAS INNOCENT OMG!!!!1!!!!!!!1!!!!11" It doesn't matter if he didn't have WMDs. He ran an oppressive government and killed his people on a regular basis. President George Bush himself made an announcement that he had 42 hours to leave Iraq or else the UK and US were gonna go medieval on him. He had a choice and he refused.


 * "Raise taxes?" Yes and no. I think we can cut down on a little of our military spending and give it to some people who do things important here in the 'States that don't earn as much as they should, such as police officers, EMTs, firefighters, teachers, etc. Hell, we could cut military spending by 50% and we'd still have the biggest army and still wouldn't even be close.


 * "Capital punishment?" I think any and all murderers, by reason of insanity or not, should be executed humanely. Reason of insanity is stupid IMO. They can still murder someone. Besides, it's not fair that they can live but the others can't. Any other criminals should serve jail time or community service, but the latter only for small crimes, such as too many speeding tickets.


 * "NSA watching you?" Only with a warrent, but the person being spied on does not need to know.


 * "Teaching creationism in schools?" Absolutely not. Besides from the fact it's mythology and not science, it's also not secular, and could possibly offend some people that don't share the views presented by teaching creationism.


 * "Internet tax?" HELL. NO.


 * "Legalize pot?" Yes. It's from nature, unlike other drugs, where you make it yourself, marijuana is less harmful, overall. Yes, you smoke it, but you smoke nicotine, too, and that is just as, if not more harmful. Not that I would smoke it, I think you should just have the liberty to smoke pot just as you do nicotine. BTW, the government could make SOOOOOO much money off of taxing it, that they might even be able to lower the income tax for a lot of people.


 * "Cops carrying guns?" If you ask me, cops should be walking down the streets with M16s hanging on their shoulder via a sling. Not only will it be more efficient versus waiting for specialist SWAT teams to arrive, but it's also a mental deterrent against crime. If I were a criminal and saw some random cop walking up to me holding an M16 at the ready, I'd poo myself. And the greedy idiots of this country are going to be paying for them, but I'll get to that in a sec.


 * "Foreign aid?" Yes. When other countries need help, it's our job to help them. If there is a drought, we send water. If there is a tsunami or earthquake, we send first aid kits. If there is a volcano eruption, we send food and water.


 * "Mandatory military training?" Joining the army is a choice. Forcing someone to go into the army against their will is a violation of many things, even including the Pledge of Allegiance: "...with liberty and justice for all." If it is their liberty not to join the army, why say no?


 * "Socialism?" A small added percentage on the rich people can be rewarding to the government, although I won't give it to the poor. I'd use it to create FREE health care. That's right, the greedy rich guys are going to be paying for it. However, some don't want to give a little bit back to the people who protect them, gave them a job, and allowed you to grow wealthy. Oh well. A tax is a tax. Everyone has to pay.


 * "Driving age?" Let's keep it at 16 and permit at 15 and 1/2. Not only are you then tall enough to reach, no problem if you're just the average teenager, but you also have had 16 years to get to know the rules of the road. However, you still must prove yourself in a test.


 * "Misc. driving laws?" You are now allowed to have any kind of horn on your car and use it at any time you want, as long as it's not a siren, for obvious reasons. You CAN put a red or blue light on the roof of your car. However, you can only use them on private property. (Property you own such as your house's driveway, or on someone else's property with their permission. Amber ones, however, are OK, and you can use those at any time, too, even when driving, if you fancy it. You are also now allowed to ride in the back of a pickup truck, van, or other cargo area with no seats or seatbelts, IF you are 14 or older and are being driven by someone with a full license. (Not a permit.)


 * "Imported goods taxes?" I'm gonna lower these by 2%. Not only does it make our country seem needy and will lower our international relations by causing customers to not buy from their companies, but like 99% of goods are not made in the US. Imported goods allow things to be cheaper because of low labor costs in countries such as Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, etc.


 * "Raise minimum wage?" Absolutely not. Not only will it encourage people not to have goals for higher paying jobs and therefore contribute to the economy more by spending more, but it also seems easier just to get promoted to a higher net income than demand higher minimum wage for flipping burgers and asking people if they'd like to supersize their order.


 * "North Korea's threats against the US?" HAHAHAHA. XD


 * "ISIS ivading Russia in the winter?" Make sure they ask Hitler and Napoleon for advice.


 * (Not political.) "iPhone or Galaxy?" How dare you question the power (Pun intended.) of the Galaxies?


 * (Also not politcal.) "iOS or Windows?" Gaming on a Mac is like trying to get 500 horsepower out of a Prius. And what I mainly do is game, so...


 * Oh, BTW, I'm removing the gun import ban on Russia. You can now buy new AK type guns, such as AK rifles and Saiga AK-type semi automatic shotguns. It seems like Russia would be earning more money from the licenses video game devs buy to put real Russian weapons in their games, such as the AK47 in like every game ever, or the Saiga 12 in CoD: Black Ops 2


 * "Minimum age to own guns?" Any non-automatic weapon from or copy of a non automatic weapon designed or produced (Includes modern replicas in modern calibers.) before 1 Jan, 1900 can be owned by someone 17 or older, but must have a parent's or guardian's permission. Any non automatic rifle or shotgun can be owned by someone 18 or older. A non automatic handgun, such as a pistol or revolver, can be purchased at 21 years old. To own ANY type of automatic weapon, you must be over 25 years old. Any of these age requirements can be bypassed if you were discharged honorably from the military, and/or served at least one tour of duty. Also, the "pre-1986 automatic weapon" ban thing is removed, so automatics should be a lot cheaper. Fun fact, automatics are easier to manufacture and simpler than semi automatics. Need proof? The first automatic rifle, the Cei-Rigotti (Obviously from Italy), was produced in 1900. The first widely used semi automatic rifle, the Fusil Automatique Modele 1917 (Obviously from France) was issued and designed in 1917.


 * "Is graffiti art?" To me, graffiti means gang signs and stuff like that, but street art, is well, street art. Any art that has some artistic value or meaning (Obviously not "cripz 4 lyfe") is legal. However, it may only be done on public things owned by the government, like sidewalks, bridges, etc. So no trains or private buildings, unless you get permission from the owners to do so.

Overall & Why I Believe This Stuff
Basically, I like to call myself a socially liberal-Republican. Which means, I am right wing on pretty much everything, except social issues. But we'll get to that later.

I strongly believe in less government and that a market that is 100% free from any government restrictions will function best because it eliminates the possibility of the government playing favorites when it comes to corporations.

I'm also all for not taxing the hell out of the rich. Why? Because, let's face it, there's a pyramid structure of this country. The poor are at the bottom. They spend little and make little. The middle class are next up. They make more money, but aren't close to being rich by any means. They are able to spend more. These are the blue collar guys: Plumbers, mechanics, electricians, grocers, etc. Then the rich are on top. CEOs, high government officials, etc. They make a lot of money, so they can spend it on big ticket items that boost the economy up more than the spent dollars of a middle classman would. How this works is simple. First, they make money, and then they spend it on some nice stuff. Let's use a brand new Mercedes in this example. After all his payments are made, Mr. Wealthy's full $60,000 go to the dealer. With the extra money, the dealer can afford to hire more people to work there and pay their wages, and perhaps even increase the wages of other employees as well.

However, say we live in a communist country. There are no classes, which eliminates the elitism and makes everyone middle class... Right? Well, not really. You see, in any communist country, whether existing now (North Korea), or in the past (USSR), the government gets most of the money. Just look at the size of their armies, for example. Anyways, when the rich are heavily taxed, their reaction is simple: Don't work hard for your cash, because otherwise you'll lose it. What this does is creates a loophole for Mr. Wealthy: You don't have to work hard, because you'll get the standard wage anyways. On the other hand, there's Mr. Diligent, who works hard every day and gets his job done correctly every time. He is loved by his fellow employees, and by his employer, but unfortunately, there is really no point in working hard because whether you work hard or not does not affect your check on Friday.

Tl;dr of the above; communist workers don't have to work hard to recieve their normal pay, and the ones who do see no increase.

Gun laws. OK... There are a lot of conservative Christians who will be happy with me saying this, and some liberal Europeans who won't, but, I strongly support guns and gun rights. Why? Well, it's simply that when more guns are in the hands of citizens, such as in the cases of the US (Not for long with Obama around, probably...) and in Switzerland (Guys bring home their SiG carbines from the army after service to their home!), crime is less common. But then why does gun control work in some countries like the UK, where there are almost no guns and almost no gun violence?

I will point out that gun control can work if the population of the country is very low, and thus the amount of criminals is also very low, such as in the case of the UK. (Despite the rise in gun crime after the newest ban in the 90s.) However, making guns legal can also work in a low population country, like Switzerland.

One of the big reasons the US has guns is because it does not have a small population, at roughly 316 million people. That means a lot of criminals are on the loose in the mix.

"But why doesn't cutting off circulation of guns from citizens keep illegal gun ownership down?", you may be asking. Well, banning all guns from civilian use does not eliminate the production of guns. You're still making guns for the military; and much more powerful ones than civilian firearms, at that. Gangs and gun smugglers will not stop finding ways to get on the inside of factories and such and take them. The black market is the biggest source for guns used in crimes... If guns are used at all. Only 8% of violent crime involves a firearm.

You may not be able to stop the smuggling of illegal guns, but you can at least put some protection in the law abiding citizens' hands. Did you know that states like Maine and Vermont have some of the lowest crime in the US, and Maine is #1 for lowest crime? Then take a look at the gun control laws there. Very lax. The most lax in the country, even, perhaps tied with Arizona.

Let's look at a high population state with lax gun laws. Texas seems good. Gun laws in Texas are some of the most lax in the country. It also has a fair crime rate. Notice I said "fair", not "low." Don't forget that Mexico is right beneath Texas. There is so much crime down there that it seeps into the US. If the people living in Texas had no means of protection, the crime rate would be extremely high.

Lax gun laws won't stop crime. Crime will always be a thing. But placing protection in the law abiding citizens' hands is a much better strategy than taking them away, at least in a high population country. Self defense is a right, not a privilege, and I cannot stress this enough.

Let's look at social issues, though. Some have a bad habit of assuming when I say I'm right wing, I'm some kind of authoritarian with the intelligence of Sarah Palin. This is a bad stereotype of conservatives. I also believe that the conservatives in Washington are complete morons. The sad thing is, you either get the super left wing liberal guys, or you get the super right wing hardcore

Anyways, social issues basically just issues relating to people and how they live life. It includes abortion, marriage, race, gender, etc.

First off, marriage laws. Specifically, the legality of same sex marriage. It should be a no brainer: We have seperation of church and state. Not to mention what two people do is none of your concern, whether it's against your beliefs or not. So why isn't it legalized? Well, some people disagree with what I've just said. The Bible, or any religious text for that matter, has nothing to do with America. America was not founded on the principles of Jesus or Christianity, otherwise it'd be a crime to wear a mix of two clothing materials, and polyester would be more sought after by the police than a 9mm automatic.

Sexual intercourse is a thing that was meant to be used to reproduce, thus carry on the evolutionary process. Unfortunately, it feels so good that some people just do it for fun and don't wear protection, then try to say, "Oh, it's OK, I'll just abort the fetus." Seems OK until you realize that they knew what they were doing in the first place. Condoms have a fail rate of just 2%. Is it worth taking the chance that you won't have a baby without protection? I don't think so.

Ignore everything above when it comes to the following: Possible birth defects, harm to woman during or after birth, and rape. Then, an abortion is 100% alright with me.

Oh, and the gender pay gap doesn't exist. Women get comfier, cozier jobs that pay less than dirty and dangerous jobs that men get. So what? Why should you earn $40,000 a year for typing on a computer and a lumberjack earn half of that? Let's be honest, men are physically stronger than women. That's not sexism, it's a fact. Why do you think men are expected to have a six pack and women are expected to not have any visible muscles to speak of? Society is a hypocrite.

Now, do I have a right to my opinion? Of course I do. Do you have a right to yours? Of course you do as well. Do I care if you agree with my opinions? Not really. Do you have to? No way. Will I start an argument with you if you don't? No. Everyone has their beliefs. I may hate your beliefs with a passion, but going out of my way to tell you how I feel on the subject shows that I at least care enough about them to spend my time complaining. It's hypocritical to use the right of free speech yourself and then tell other people they can't have beliefs that are different than yours. It simply defeats the purpose.

"They hate us cause they aint us."
