Hello Everyone,
Heard of this site from a friend, checked it out and decided I wanted to be a part of the group.
Throwing it out there now, my views, figured it would be a good way to be intiatiated, plus I have never really discussed my views with anyone before and I am interested in hearing other points of views, both those for and against my views, I am open to changing my mind on things because I do not claim to be the know all, that was the main reason I wanted to join, so that I can be better informed on issues.:
- Trump Sucks - too self absorbed, beliefs are flawed, leadership abilities are very poor and he embarrases the country he represents.
- Hillary Sucks - ran for the wrong reasons, would have been better than Trump though. I hope we do have a female president within the next 25 years, it would be great for the country. I am thankful it was not her though.
- Humans contribute to global warming, i am not a scientist but i believe the majority of scientist saying we contribute to it.
- The student debt situation sucks, college is too expensive however if people do not want to pay for it there is a great solution. Enlist in the military, do 4 years and you get your degree paid for. (I am not a recruiter) The situation we are in is not the best, but instead of expecting everyone to pay for your degree, make a sacrifice, give back to your country and you will be in return given that free college degree you are protesting for.
- Guns are good
- Taxes are good, we should all pay and no one should get a tax return. (that is coming from a guy with two young kids and a stay at home wife who got a 7k check this year!). I think of being apart of this country as being a part of a big "small town" and we all need to pay our HOA dues. Even if I do not have kids going to the public school, I still am happy paying taxes for that school to be successful because those kids are going to grow up and being members of my community. I want to live around smart, hard working people, not uneducated low lifes. As well I believe we should take care of the older folks in our society and social security and health care is important and a right.
- Globalism is a fact of life, there is no going back. We had the entire pie back after WWII because everyone else was rebuilding. Now everyone else has recovered and other countries have turned into industrial socities (China/India). It is impossible for us to ever have the whole pie to ourselves again. Thus we need to focus on improving the education levels of our citizens so that we can be the ones leading the innovations and leadership roles of the future.
- Free speech is good
- There is no God
- Idea for solving Middle East: Prove god is not real, educate everyone in the world, including women in the Middle East that God is not real, hence Islam and all other God based religions are fake. Over a couple hundred years that will become the common belief and thus the reason they are fighting will end. It is a long ass game plan but since they have been fighting for a couple thousand years, a hundred year solution is pretty good IMO.
