Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: Republicans, Tories
Religion: just turned atheist


Abortion: I believe life begins at conception and regard it as killing of innocent babies. Strongly against it. It is not right to abort a baby when it is rape or incest, but I do believe it should be allowed in these two cases. I am also for abortion when birth presents a considerable threat to the mother's life.
War in Iraq: A mistake but it is too late to pull out. However, whatever makes US weaker makes Russia stronger!
War in Afghanistan: Somewhat more justifiable. Still wrong however. A country cannot be responsible for its citizens to such a degree.
Marijuana: NO! I am a teetotaler and I detest anything that has to do with drugs and alcohol. However, I do not disapprove of smoking, although I am not a smoker myself.
Firearms: The country would be safer without guns but I am still pro-gun despite this.
Gay Marriage: Don't really care. This issues has been overblown. It is still however morally wrong and what's next anyway? Bestiality? So I am generally against it.
Gay Adoption: A kid is better of having a gay parent than no parent at all. Orphanage kids end up as failures 99% of he time. Although being gay is amoral, there is absolutely nothing wrong with gay parents.
Religion in Schools: Nah, it belongs in churches. One should be allowed to pray and do pretty much everything that has to do with religion except teach it (young-earth creationism is ridiculous)
Death Penalty: YES! If you kill, attempt to kill or rape someone you should be die! I am for draconian death penalty laws. Life imprisonment is a tax burden too.
European Union: Honestly, speaking as a Russian, I would like to see Western Europe as weak as possible.
