Polls: Society & Politics

Economy’s at a turning point…ish. More like the economy is chugging along and people are at the turning point.

Get educated or get the fck out.

There are jobs to be had in this automated economy. May not be the factory job you had for twenty years…but there are jobs. We’ll just require some brain power.

Its a simple question right? The following image shows my feelings on it.

I'm very passionate about the Civil war history, and i admire greatly, the resolve of Confederate soldiers who held on to the bitter end, while outnumber 4 to 1, surrounded, and blockaded.

I also acknowledge that the war was far more complex than simply one side wanting slavery, and the other doesn't want it. Nonetheless, I've been accused of supporting the Nazi regime, for my admiration of the Confederates who fought and died to defend their families.

I take great offense to this, as the Nazi regime murdered tens of millions of innocent people, exterminated countless bloodlines of people. They put entire families into a sealed off building, before putting zyklon B crystals into the room, and murdering everyone in the building, before throwing them out like garbage, and creamating their bodies to destroy evidence.

The fact that anyone would equate that to the Confederacy is a giant farce and insult to me. I was born in Connecticut, and I moved to Texas, later in life. I don't support slavery at all, I view it to be the most horrible institution in American history, but the civil war was about more than that. The north had 4 slave states, Delaware, Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland.

And the emancipation proclamation didn't free any slaves, it was just a dishonest PR stunt from Lincoln. Lincoln was always against slavery, but, you know what? Actions speak louder than words, and he didn't do a damned thing about slavery. It wasn't until after he was murdered, that the 13 amendment was passed, ending slavery.

As for the Confederacy, I admire the stone cold resolve of the brave men who fought 4 men by himself, and fought until the bitter end for 4 whole years. But comparing them to the N@zis offends me greatly, and is very shortsighted. The only thing they have in common, is that they are both reviled by American history. One deserves to be reviled (N@zis) and the other doesn't, so why the hell else would anyone equate them two?

You’re innocent. But if you refuse the cops’ll think you’re hiding something. If you fail, they’ll obviously think you’re being deceptive, growing their suspicions.

BUT…. Even the inventor doubts its authenticity. And its results aren’t allowed in court. It’s pseudo science that cops still use.

But do you take the test just to hope you get off the cop’s radar?

I know most people are somewhere near the center but if I make that an option on its own the poll won't work.
Lets find out the political leanings of the website and how strong the divide is between girls and guys. No matter how little or extreme, are you left or right wing?

Asking this anonymously so that anyone can participate, otherwise the result may be skewed by my followers / blockers.

Politically active: You actively participate in politics. For example, you deliberately watch political news. You are a member of an advocacy group. You frequent the politics section of this website. You try to convince others of your political opinion, etc.

Politically passive: You aren't interested in politics, but if you had to vote you expect to vote for these kinds of politics.

In case it matters and there is an extreme difference in some countries between what the left wing and right wing do, I am asking this question from the American perspective of what the words mean. I know there are many sub groups, but I chose to keep it simple.

seems like its made a big comeback in recent years

After all, as an ex gambler, I feel like I already know the answer: no and that super is different because that's out of my control/decided by super aka pension companies whatever it's invested in. Going back to personal investing, is it worthwhile or just another folly for suckers? Lol. Like gambling and gamblers "fools money" for the fools and only say 2 percent winners. Lol

My state has some of the lowest cigarette taxes in the country. We also have one of the highest rates of smoking and one of the highest poverty rates.

Both men and women with incomes below the federal poverty level had a significantly higher smoking prevalence than those who lived at or above the poverty level. This means that people on public assistance: housing aid, Medicaid, SNAP, etc are more likely to smoke.

Children living with smokers are at greater risk for bronchiolitis, pneumonia and other respiratory infections. They are also more likely to acquire and be hospitalized for asthma and develop middle-ear disease. Moreover, they are at increased risk of dying before their fifth birthday. Given the cost that smokers cost on society by using taxpayer funded healthcare to cover their lung disease and heart disease, and missed days at work, accidental fires, etc. Should cigarette taxes be raised?

Every year, smoking costs the U. S. more than $300 billion, which includes both medical care and lost productivity. Unfortunately, some people will have to pay more depending on the state in which they live. The Societal Costs of Smokers

Her Wikipedia page consistently refers to her as "HIM" and states that she was transgender, but she never had sexual reassignment surgery of suffered from gender dysmorphia. She lived life as a man because she wanted to be a jazz musician and back then America Number 1 was a backwards sexist society and women weren't allowed to be musicians. This kind of stuff happened in many cultures. The only thing I think she took too far was having relationships with women who believed she was a man.

Korla Pandit was actually a black man named John Roland Redd who posed as an Indian, because America Number 1 didn't allow black people to be musicians, but no one is referring to him as an "Indian man" or "transracial", in the same way they're doing to Billy Tipton.
