[QUOTE=proboardslol;49008975]Being transgender doesn't require surgery[/QUOTE]
i'm not just talking surgery, i'm talking hormones, psychological support and all that
which i'm guessing someone who isn't trans wouldn't be too keen on doing
[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;49006093]in the america i want to live in, i should be able to wake up in the morning, grab two fully automatic uzis from my government mandated gun safe, fire off a few magazines out my bedroom window, then walk to the doctors toget a boil lanced for free, seeing no homeless people as everyone below a certain income has housing and food supplied to them. I want to be able to go out, do my shopping, pop into the unisex bathroom and pee at the urinal as a lady walks past and goes into a stall. I want to then come home, do the chores around the house, go pick up my son and get excited with him when he tells me tyler finally asked him to prom. i want to be able to have dinner waiting for my black transgender stockbroker of a wife and discuss with them how recidivism rates are at a record low because of the new rehabilitation programs, bringing up that incarceration rates for all races are equal to their percent of population. i want to be able to cap off the night discussing with my wife perhaps hiring a self employed licensed prostitute some time to spice up the bedroom. i then want to get right into getting pegged by my wife's glorious cock while fucked up on ketamine i picked up at the chemist earlier in the day. and i want none of this to be considered abnormal. this is what i think america should be all about[/QUOTE]
I agree with everything but the prostitute, but otherwise that sounds great
Why isn't there a "neither" option?
I've always disliked labels like liberal or conservative, I agree with some things that can be considered liberal and I agree with some things that can be considered conservative. I think it's counterproductive to assign people to one of them because it really doesn't tell anything about the individual. Kinda like you could argue that there are races in our species but it really doesn't matter. Labeling someone only gives people an excuse not to listen to them.
[QUOTE=Aldawolf;49005051]Facepunch is full of weird conservative teens who think they're democrats[/QUOTE]
It's called the Next Generation Left: the younger age of the politically active spectrum who leans to the left but only consider themselves moderates due to them having a number of political views. Even if they were moderates, they would affiliate themselves with the liberal end of the spectrum because of the extremism present on the right.
I fall under this description because:
I support stricter gun control, but I also support the death penalty
I'm all for equal rights for minorities, LGBT, women, etc. but I'm against affirmative action.
Just because someone has a conservative view like there against gay marriage or something that doesn't make them conservative.
facepunch is full of dirty fukin commies

Really depends on who you ask.

Polish and in the center.
Must be awkward being surrounded by commies and nazis.
Neither, socialist.

Being trans doesn't require hormones either. Gender is psychological no biological
[QUOTE=Tophat;49009443]Why isn't there a "neither" option?[/QUOTE]
Well you see, some people have no idea, or don't give a shit about politics, so I put that for those people.
Surprisingly it makes up a massive part of the facepunch users.

"I don't know/give a shit" is not the same as "neither" at all.
Not being one of those two groups does not mean you're apolitical, it means you're probably part of the vastly larger spectrum.
I didn't know I could hate super libs til I joined this site :smile:

Oh. Okay. Well I guess if you are apolitical, you might as well put that down.
Sorry for not knowing being apolitical was a thing sooner...

That's not what I mean.
You have an option for apolitical: "Don't know/don't care" means apolitical.
You don't have options for things other than liberal/conservative/centrist is my gripe.

I kind of only wanted to narrow it down to these two. I guess.
I should have put a None of these option.
It's National Socialist.
We are all one under Garry's fuhrership.
What about libertarian (liberal right) or conservative/authoritative leftwing.
is this in relation to the dick size poll?
I AM A HUMAN BEAN, GODDAMMIT!
[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;49013719]is this in relation to the dick size poll?[/QUOTE]
No. Sadly. Head on over there if you want to talk about dick sizes.
It honestly depends on the locations of the users on FP
Australians/NZ are pretty liberal on all issues, probably left/centre-left at best
Americans are liberal on social issues, conservative on guns
Russians are Putin-conservatives
Europeans seem to be conservative on all issues except LGBTQIA+ rights, more vocal when it comes to immigration
Canadians, well, whatever pisses off their neighbour they'll support
South Americans are pretty easy going
The handful of South Africans that post are liberal and most/if not all are very anti-ANC
Asian country users seem to be divided though, Singaporeans seem to be very liberal, but Indonesians seem to be conservative, Filipinos are on the same spectrum with Indonesians.
Those who post from Japan don't give a shit
So idk it's a mixed bunch
Europe is super liberal on the west and super conservative on the east with a neat gradient inbetween.
European Facepunchers seem disproportionately anti-immigration though.
[QUOTE=person11;49016696]European Facepunchers seem disproportionately anti-immigration though.[/QUOTE]
I think it's simply because people are more anti-immigration over here in Europe.
Well yeah Facepunchers aren't idiots of such caliber.
But general western consensus actually had been pro-immigration when the east yelled at them pretty much until it was too late. Wasn't just Merkel and Merkel alone with the idea that immigrants are perfectly okay to keep.
Yeah though at this point I'd say majority of the west knows they done fucked up.
[QUOTE=person11;49016696]European Facepunchers seem disproportionately anti-immigration though.[/QUOTE]
There is nobody who is cheering to take in immigrants/refrugees, just people who feel very strongly against it and bitch any chance they get, and people who feel largely indifferent, or accept it as something that got to be done.
How that works out on the internet is rather obvious.
Not that i can blame them, its a pretty big deal, and a social issue you have little to no control over.
[QUOTE=person11;49016696]European Facepunchers seem disproportionately anti-immigration though.[/QUOTE]
Dunno. Being pro-immigration doesn't equal supporting 800,000 refugees a year. Thats something different.
United States and Canada took basically a ceremonial amount of refugees, I think the United States should definitely bear more responsibility since they're a reason parts of the middle east are a shithole.
I was thinking we should have a Political thread in GD to discuss world politics
thoughts?
i lean more left, but am still a mix of both
