Should abortion be legal after a heartbeat is detected?
I’ve never been in favor of abortion of any kind. You’re killing a kid without his/her say. That’s morally wrong. Worse yet, the man has no legal say in what happens with his own child, yet he can be financially obligated for it. That is taxation without representation. It is an exercise of tyranny. Overall all current abortion laws are bad and need to be expunged. States should manage their own abortion laws and the federal government should shut the fuck up.
Should same-sex marriage be legal?
I don’t think the government has any place in marriage. That’s between you and your religious institution/god. You go figure out the terms together and cut the government out all together. As the first amendment clearly states congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Thus the government should not dictate the terms of a marriage or divorce. There should be no court orders for alimony, child support, splitting of property, etc. The government needs to get out of the marriage business.
Should gay sex be legal?
So long as you do it in private, I don’t care.
Should guns be banned?
Go fuck yourself.
Should racist/sexist speech on college campuses be banned?
Go fuck yourself.
Should higher taxes be imposed on the citizens, and even much more on the wealthy so that it may be redistributed to the poor?
Go fuck yourself.
Should marijuana be made legal for consumption?
Yes, it should be legal to grow, sell, and use marijuana/hemp. I don’t have an issue with sales taxes from the sale of marijuana in a retail setting being directed to fund public health issues related to drug education, addiction rehabilitation, and medical funding of uninsured patients for drug over doses, but otherwise the government should get out of the way of the free market.
Are you for Obamacare?
Hell no. Fuck Obama and his unconstitutional manipulation of the economy and uneven taxation to pad his financiers pocketbooks. He’s a fucking traitor.
Are you for a $15 per hour minimum wage?
Nope. It will just drive inflation and thus devalue 99% of American’s wealth. If market demand is willing to pay $15 an hour or more at any given point then that is what the market is willing to bear, but arbitrary minimum wages are just a way to make the poor and middle class more poor while government spending loopholes keep the wealthy who can afford to lobby congress comfortably rich on the tax dollar collected on that higher minimum wage.

I'm libertarian
Should abortion be legal after a heartbeat is detected?
- no. When the fetal development reaches the point where organs are developing, it's not ending a pregnancy; it's ending a human being that already exists.
Should same-sex marriage be legal?
- yes. Marriage should be a church function, not a government one.
Should gay sex be legal?
- yes. It's not the government's business what two consenting adults do.
Should guns be banned?
- no. The right to keep and bear arms pre-exists the government, and it was never granted authority to infringe upon that right.
Should racist/sexist speech on college campuses be banned?
- no. Colleges are businesses, and they should make their own rules. They also should receive no government funds, and should be required to abide by the same tax laws as every other business.
Should higher taxes be imposed on the citizens, and even much more on the wealthy so that it may be redistributed to the poor?
- no. If there is going to be federal tax law, it should apply to everyone equally
Should marijuana be made legal for consumption?
- yes. Again, what someone does with their free time and income is not the government's business
Are you for Obamacare?
- no. Government at the federal level is farthest from the people, hence the least effective and most irresponsible. Health care is too important a service to have federal government making it unaffordable to average working stiffs.
Are you for a $15 per hour minimum wage?
- no. The wage for any given job should be whatever someone will perform that job for. An artificial $15 floor simply makes it illegal to pay someone to do any task that's worth less than the total cost of a $15 an hour employee. Where does that leave high school kids who should be starting their first part-time jobs, and have no resume or job skills yet?
What Girls & Guys Said

As a conservative (and libertarians, if that is of any relevance),
1. I'm unsure if abortion should be legal once a heartbeat can be detected, but I'd err on the side of caution
2. I do think same sex marriage should be legal
3. I do think gay sex should be legal
4. Guns should not be banned, possibly with some exceptions (like galtling guns), though I do mean "possibly" and not definitively.
5. Racist and sexist speech should not be banned in public spaces or government-owned businesses/land. Privately owned colleges/campuses should be allowed to mandated whatever they want, within reason, speech included, however, they should be heavily condemned (socially) for doing such things, especially as an educational institution. Though, for those who may get this twisted, I'm not indicating that racism or sexism is integral to intellectual debate or education. My qualm is with how censorship will be exploited. Though, there is aj argument to be made about intellectual topics such as the differences in biology, of which could be censored without exploitation with mandates against "racism" and "sexism."
6. I'm unsure about whether the rich should be taxed more. I've heard reasonable arguments for and against it. That being said, our tax money goes to unnecessary (and that's a euphemism) things very frequently, so the amount that we are taxed, regardless of wgo is or isn't being taxed more, does need to lessen.
7. I do think Marijuana should be legalized. I do think it would worsen a lot of lives, but people have the right to make possibly poor decisions. And if that's what gives them fulfillment, then so be it. And those who end up being neglectful shouldn't impact the non-neglectful people from indulging in similar activities.
8. I'm not familiar enough to definitively comment on Obamacare, but from what I've heard, especially from people who's judgement I trust, I'm not a fan. That being said, that doesn't necessarily mean socialized healthcare is inherently a bad thing.
9. No. Maybe one day, but right now that is a poor decision.Should abortion be legal after a heartbeat is detected? - yes, the individual’s choice should still be legal
Should same-sex marriage be legal? yes, the individual’s choice (s) should still be legal
Should gay sex be legal? yes, the individual’s choice (s) should still be legal
Should guns be banned? No - guns are useful tools. “any tool is a weapon, if you hold it right.” Ani DiFranco
Should racist/sexist speech on college campuses be banned? No - these terms are too broad, and constantly redefined.
Should higher taxes be imposed on the citizens, and even much more on the wealthy so that it may be redistributed to the poor? Yes - the point of a society is cooperation.
Should marijuana be made legal for consumption? Yes - just mho, but a safer and better drug than alcohol.
Are you for Obamacare? Yes (same rationale as the taxes)
Are you for a $15 per hour minimum wage? - abstention
I know you said just one word answers but I couldn’t help but put at least a one liner in. :)I cannot give a Yes/No to the majority of them but I will try to keep my answer's short.
Should abortion be legal after a heartbeat is detected? Yes, but not after 23 wks as The age of viability is 24 weeks
Should same-sex marriage be legal? Yes, if a couple irrespective of sex are willing to make the same commitment as hetro couples then they should have the same protection under the law.

Should guns be banned? No, if gun owners are not breaking the law there is no justification for a ban.
Should racist/sexist speech on college campuses be banned? No, going to College/University is where the students are supposed to learn to deal with adult subjects in an adult manner, and from what I’ve seen this scholastic year that is not happening.
Should higher taxes be imposed on the citizens, and even much more on the wealthy so that it may be redistributed to the poor? It would not work, those paying higher taxes would move out of country resulting in even less tax in the system.
Should marijuana be made legal for consumption? Maybe, but not the high potency THC strains, and with the same/similar penalties as for drink driving
Are you for Obamacare? I cannot comment on that as I live in the UK where the National Health Service exists and while not perfect it is better than the health care in a lot of countries.
Are you for a $15 per hour minimum wage? I cannot comment on that as I live in the UK.Should abortion be legal after a heartbeat is detected? Legal under 3 months

Should higher taxes be imposed on the citizens, and even much more on the wealthy so that it may be redistributed to the poor? no.

The democrat party idea of taxing the working and middle classes heavily then giving back welfare scraps for votes is bullshit long term.
Should marijuana be made legal for consumption? Yes

• Are you for Obamacare? No.
• Are you for a $15 per hour minimum wage? No.-No.
-Yes.
-Yes, unless you put a leash up the ass of everyone, you can't stop it anyway.
-No.
-No, especially today where everything is labeled as -ist or -phobe to censor speech, and especially in campuses.
-In an ideal world, yes. But in reality, if you tax the rich too much, he'll just leave with the business he has and go somewhere else, which won't be nice for employment.
-Yeah, but regulated like alcohol. Can't drive after smoking.
-Mixed. I live in a country with a good healthcare system. So it's nice... until people abuse it, and it attracts thousands of immigrants who want to benefit from it without contributing. And today that healthcare system is in so much debt that a temporary tax to fix it is now permanent.
-I could be for a $100 minimum wage, but in reality all you'll do is to push most of the base worker out, and have companies replace them with machines. Also, many small companies can even afford it at all.1: only if it's illegal after the baby is viable outside the mother which is around 24weeks.
2: there shouldn't be legal marriage, gay, straight or otherwise. Marriage is the devil's threesome with the state.
3. Yes.
4. No. People have a right to self defense and the tools of self defense.
5. If it doesn't incite violence and it's not by public officials, no, but it must be only allowed at "students free time", do to speak, class ain't student free time. Just by tackling violent bullying you already punish most racists.
6. nope, taxes should be as low as possible and government should be as small as possible, at the end, all tax is effectively on the poor.
7. Legal and regulated like any other recreational drug.
8: It forces premiums up, so no.

MORE FREEDOM BUT ALSO MORE RESPONSIBILITY. MOST LAZY-ASS AMERICANS CAN'T HANDLE THEIR CURRENT RESPONSIBILITY MUCH LESS ANY ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
SUPPORT YOURSELF OR DIEAbortion: yes
same sex: yes
gay sex: yes (How can you arrest someone for something they have no choice over?)
Guns: No
Speceh: it already hardly exists at all except what the teachers are spewing out and THAT SHOULD be banned!!
Taxes: No
Grass: Yes
Soetorocare: Fuck no!!
$15: No, unless the person getting it is worth it.
Just put the shit back the way Trump had it and everything will be fan-fucking-tastic!!!Yes. Yes. Yes. No (lots of people actually need them, which is why you still find guns on farms in the UK, for example). No, but shunned. Yes. Yes. Yes, but it doesn't go far enough. Yes, except perhaps, in areas where you can raise a family on less. Better unions and higher membership might be equally good.
I'm liberal:
Should abortion be legal after a heartbeat is detected? No. Abortion should be illegal at all points unless the life of the mother is at serious risk.
Should same-sex marriage be legal? No.
Should gay sex be legal? No.

Should racist/sexist speech on college campuses be banned? Yes. There's no need to spew hatred and oppression at a learning center.
Should higher taxes be imposed on the citizens, and even much more on the wealthy so that it may be redistributed to the poor? Yes. The mega rich should pay a much higher tax rate so that social programs can help out the poor citizens with their needs among other things like education, infrastructure etc.
Should marijuana be made legal for consumption? Yes.
Are you for Obamacare? Yes, but not for financially penalizing those who object to inter into program.
Are you for a $15 per hour minimum wage? Yes.NO, unless the fetus is malformed with a low probability of survival or the mothers health will be permanently damaged or it will kill her to carry the baby to term. In cases of incest, depending on the degree of blood relation. in terms of rape, the child could be adopted out to a couple that want kids and can’t have them naturally. THAT is my OPINION.
