<p>I consider myself slightly liberal but it does depend on the issue.</p>
<p>
Unless you watch it for comedic purposes only.</p>
<p>Slightly liberal, basically moderate.</p>
<p>Although I hate the entire idea of being conservative about things, and I think outdated traditions/“how things used to be” is ridiculous, conservatives have so many ideologies not based upon facts.</p>
<p>I also dislike conservative opposition to science/stem cells. Almost propaganda-like misinformation of stem cells. People think embryos are similar to humans in any way. Embryos are just a cluster of freaking cells. The entire idea of stem cells=cells that have no differentiated=not part of any organ/body=not human.
Use all the embryos you can lolz, people post pictures of fetuses and say “do you support the destruction?” Fetuses have clearly visible organs/different body parts=differentiated cells=not stem cells.</p>
<p>SO AGGRAVATING. Probably what I hate the most about Republicans/conservative policy.</p>
<p>There are things that work best, and things that don’t. Screw beliefs.</p>
<p>^ Samess… ^</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Same here! :)</p>
<p>
I believe life begins at the point of fertilization (no point arguing this here but remember that this is when one’s genetic combination is determined), and thus I don’t agree with your “use all the embryos you can” stance.</p>
<p>Plus why use embryos when you can use adult stem cells?</p>
<p>Fiscal conservative, social liberal. I’m politically independent and moderate.</p>
<p>Lol induced pluripotent stem cells are not that good yet.
Unless you’re talking about straight from the body adult stem cells, they aren’t pluripotent lol.</p>
<p>
I’m not exactly sure what you’re saying here? All I meant was that adult stem cells (like the induced pluripotent somatic) are something to try before we use embryos.</p>
<p>But again, this is really off-topic. This thread will get deleted if we don’t keep it to a simple “Fiscal conservative, social liberal. I’m politically independent and moderate,” or “Independent. I’m more democratic on foreign policy, but more republican on domestic policy.”</p>
<p>Lol it has been tried.
It is easier to use embryos though.
Takes a lot of steps (inducing) away.</p>
<p>I am very leftist, I identify with the Democratic Party, although I agree more consistently with the Green Party’s platform. </p>
<p>The conservative platform of FOX and the Republican politicians that identify with it are outdated and irrational. The only Republicans with merit are the moderates, such as Olympia Snowe. She’s a great Senator and I respect her bipartisanship.</p>
<p>I am very much a Democrat.</p>
<p>Republican</p>
<p>Used to be Republican, now I don’t care for either party</p>
<p>This board needs a poll feature.</p>
<p>
Hmm. I know we’re not supposed to go off-topic but, I’ve always found this claim to be ludicrous. So what if the genetic combination has been determined? That’s not what make’s up a life an the entirety of a human being. It is composed of our experiences, at a point when our brain can function at a normal capacity. Because in reality, the only distinguishing feature between us and a monkey is the higher development of the brain. If not even that has been established, we cannot clearly be defined as human. Honestly, using a mass of cells really isn’t that big of a deal.</p>
<p>I am no longer a high school student, but would like to give my input in this subject.</p>
<p>I am a libertarian. My family came from Cuba to escape communism and totalitarianism, and both parties are leading us down the same path my family left. It’s disheartening to hear the elders in your family crying because everything that’s happening now is exactly what they fled from with Castro in Cuba.</p>
<p>The context is completely different.</p>
<p>I’m as liberal of a democrat as they come</p>
<p>I’m pro choice and proud of it
I’m pro gay rights
I want single payer(gov’t) health care
I’d pay more taxes to get more services from my gov’t
Welfare is necessary to help those who can’t help themselves
The death penalty is a racist and unfair institution
I’m an atheist</p>
<p>and, I’m a woman who never wants to have kids. If i do, I will not stay home with them. screw "traditional roles’</p>
<p>^ This.</p>
<p>That sounded like me. Even the last part, with an exception of being a woman. o.O</p>
<p>^yay for you Zapz…
i’m glad to see there are others with brains</p>
