[cookieyo145]

If you mean forcing kids to do things like brutal Olympic training or blocking YouTube and many other popular websites then yes.

It was about time for someone to lose it in this thread.

Instead of actually stating factual information, let's just call people *****es! That's a great idea! [/sarcasm]

You may disagree with communism, but that's a pretty ignorant thing to say. China, in fact, is doing quite well. The traditions there promote a better education than the U.S. There's also a greater sense of social unity and a larger family value.

ALSO, China is really only communist because the Communist Party is in charge. The economic policies of China are really capitalist.

Doing well in the suppression of masses of information and terrible abuses of human rights? A friend of mine distributes a Chinese newspaper in the UK to migrants that reports on everything others won't, and the things I've heard (not read, it's in Chinese) about are atrocious.

Oh, I'm not arguing that what's done there is right, or moral. I'm just stating that, as a whole, China's situation isn't only destructive. There are positive sides as well.

Obama sucks. Go Authoritarioan and kim jong il and his freaking empire jkjk. Although communism is working well in china.

"My name's Kim Jong, I got a license to il."

On topic: You don't know a whole lot about China do you?

 

[Yes We Can!]

Pacifism. (which is very general, I know)
And just to clear things up about my nick: I don't know enough about American politics to make a personal judgement or verdict about it. I only chose Yes, We Can! because the day I signed up on this forum was Obama's Inaugaration day and it was the first thing that came to my mind

I could say something like "I'm supporting the liberal party/I'm an anarchist/I am a communist/I like the conservative party/Green party is awesome/I like turtles/whatever" but come on... I'm 16 - I'm not very informed in political matters, so I am not enabled to have a very legitimate opinion either. And I think it's silly that a lot of 14y/o people are saying things like "ANARCHY AND COMMUNISM ALL THE WAY" because they think it's cool or just to look like they are politically educated or because their parents told them so.

While I agree with your second paragraph, I feel insulted that you think that I'm a 14 year-old whose political views are anarcho-communist, because I want to be cool or look educated.

I didn't even read your post in this thread, so it was not directed at you; sorry for the confusion. I just meant it as a general thing. The anarchy and communism thing was just an example too.

Sorry, I really don't know all that much about Lyndon, we didn't talk much about him in school that I can remember.

Gogogo look up The Great Society.

You should care about politics despite your age, lol.

In regards to American politics; I believe in the constitution. Our government pays absolutely no attention to the constitution.

I believe if we stringently followed the guidelines of the constitution, 90% of our national troubles would be over. The rest of the problems could be dealt with by making certain amendments.

On a larger scale, I guess you could say I'm a conservative.

I agree with all of this.

Correct me if I am wrong, No country has ever reached a "Communist" state, Just socialist.


And on a side note a dream I had this night (A bit earlier)

Spoiler

So, the dream starts off with me enlisting in the US navy. I go through training and they station me on a ship. So we get sent off to sea and during a 3-4 month period of ocean travel we pull up to a port in china (It looked similar to a Large Bunker that was all steel and was craved into the side of a cliff) There was a large horde of people there that cheered or something (Kinda creepy) The head officer in the ship told everyone If they wanted to leave the service and go into china, here would be the place to do so. And in doing so you would forfit your US citizenship and become an enemy of the United states and would be arrested upon return to the US (Similar to going to cuba) (He however used a certain word for this that I cannot remember).

I left the ship and ran into the crowd and got through into a large city that had a few shops and seemed to be normal with a greenish tinge. (I remember here having this large feeling of being watched) There was this tour guide that was leading a group of people around and talking to them in small spurts of english and mostly Spanish/ Manderin chinease. I joined this group and followed around the tour guide, and asked him some questions on where to stay. He told me he didn't speak very much english. I started looking around the town with him following me, I went into this building and found a corridor that was similar to a hotel corridor that had the "feeling" of a motel. I ran and walked into a room that was mostly empty and had (To the best I can describe) Interesting colors of purple (Light) green and orange all over. There was the television that told me That I ran out of time to fire the missile (It didn't say that it was at the ship I came off of but it was inferred) So I left the room and went outside to an art studio, where I met up with A female friend that I have in real life, and we used her as a communicator with the tour guide. He told me that all americans that come from america Have to fire missiles. Since the US government would then blame the person who shot the missile. We went to a different room and The television in there said the same thing that I had Missed the opportunity to fire the missiles. Then I heard people bust in through the door, So I jumped out the window (imaninja) then I fell into another room (HOW THE HELL I GOT INSIDE is a mystery) Had to jump out of that window (Through the blinds that shattered),

Then I got a big pole and fought floating sticks. then had to fight other military troops (I wouldn't kill them I would just knock them out, I don't like killing things)

Then I woke up... It was random, But I can't explain this eerie feeling I had the whole time, It was disturbing.

This is kind of too off topic, but religion screws up everything in a way...

Let's not turn this thread into a religious debate.

On-topic:
I guess the easiest way to show my views would be to give coordinates on the political compass grid:
Economic Left/Right: -3.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.67

I agree.
