    Default Re: Political Leanings of Members

    Country of Residence: Norway
    Nationality: Norwegian
    Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right:-3,12 - Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0,92
    Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Moderate/Right (in Norway)
    Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Not really.
    Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: voted Right (Høyre) last.
    Religion: Agnostic

    Abortion: It is up to the mother, but within restrictions of first trimester. I would want the mother to consider to carry the child to birth nonetheless and if she can't keep it, give it up for adoption.
    War in Iraq: USA was justified in resuming the war after Iraq broke the truce just 14 days after it was signed. If it was wise is another issue.
    Marijuana: Should be illegal period.
    Firearms: legal for those trained to handle them. e.g. soldiers and veterans.
    Gay Marriage: I am not so sure about this one. I am leaning towards yes, but only civil marriage. Religion should have the right to not wed homosexual couples if its doctrine is against homosexuality
    Gay adoption: We need a more tolerant society for this to work. If kids can respect a child with gay parents, I guess it is OK.
    Religion in schools: Why not? there are billions of religious people.
    Death penalty: I am leaning toward yes in extreme cases.
