Guess you didn't click "choose another stance".

Is Global Warming a threat to the environment?
There is not enough evidence to determine this
No, global warming and cooling are natural cycles beyond our control
Regardless, we should incentivize the private sector to develop cleaner and efficient fuels
Regardless, we should not devote government resources to prevent it
Add your own stance

f3lix · 10-04-2012, 07:51 PM

I wish the "choose another stance" was required.

Saint DH · 10-04-2012, 08:38 PM

I rarely used the choose another stance selection. Most of the correct answers were pretty cut and dry. Here are the correct answers to some of the questions.

Is global warming a threat? No. Should marijuana be legalized? Yes. Death penalty? Yes. Abortions? Yes. Medicare/Medicaid? No.

Fun fact, Medicaid finances 40% of all births in the US. Isn't that special.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 10-04-2012, 11:52 PM

Is soldiers dying in Iraq bad?

DJ FC · 10-05-2012, 01:12 AM

I used "other stance" on pretty much every one.

I didn't, but that still doesn't make the question any less stupid, what separates global warming and the environment? AIN'T EVEN PEDANTIC

Like 1/6 or so on Medicaid, right? would you say that's worse than "25% of newborns mothers weren't born in the country" as the UK has?
Would like an expansion on the globabl warning/death penalty answers

Saint DH · 10-05-2012, 09:43 AM

All I was saying about the Medicaid factoid is that 40% of the American population that is reproducing is too fucking poor or stupid to get their own coverage. Me thinks this is a bad omen for our society. See: idiocracy.

I've talked about global warming until I'm blue in the face. If you wish to deny facts for the purpose of fear mongering, then be my guest.

Death penalty is cool for many reasons. First of which is that it's justice and revenge in the purest form and that is beautiful. Second, who wants to pay to keep a violent criminal alive for fifty fucking years.

Abortions are cool because unwanted babies probably have shitty lives, and legal abortions are probably more humane than having dumpster babies and black market abortions.

I do believe that women should be discouraged for having abortions, though. I do believe that they are morally wrong. Maybe we could put a scarlet letter on them or something. Government should definitely not pay for them.

So barack is going on the daily show next week.

I watched the last time he came on in 2010. Has he done anything since then? Thoughts?

Our president sure spends a lot of time as guests on tv shows.

ninjaface · 10-14-2012, 07:00 PM

Yeah, guys. Shouldn't he be presidenting?

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 10-16-2012, 09:23 PM

Watching debate. Topic prez politicizing terrorism attack. I may have just witnessed the prez lose the election

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 10-16-2012, 09:41 PM

Rewatched, not as bad as seemed as I misinterpreted crowd. But still bad. Obama tried to use Scold. Romney parried with Contradiction. Will be perceived as a win to both sides. Obama looked awkward after tho.

Not a strong argument.

Eh, I don't care. My first argument is strong enough to stand on its own.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 10-22-2012, 09:18 PM

Obama strategy
1. Attack Mittney with strawman
2. Sappy anecdote
3. Rinse and Repeat

Romney
Playing more subdued, trying to give impression of taking the high rode. He waited for the president to attack him first before doing any attacking.

Both:
Try to segue to domestic issues whenever possible.

Why is Romney getting to answer all the questions first?

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
