What's your stance on the private ownership of capital goods?

I am a Authoritarian Technocrat. That is, let those who know rule and the rest of you, shut up. With this I mean, for example, having nuclear scientists handling the nuclear power of a country, or a farmers handle farmers. For as it was now the last four years (here in Sweden) we had the former minister of agriculture handle the issues about nuclear power and the former state secretary (handling the state economy) be the minister of agriculture. And people wondered why we have failed the last four years...

Note that I am not a true expert on anything and don't aim to be so, I am fully castrating myself politically so that the government doesn't keep our country. Cheers!

And a chapter of marines too!

For Battenburg and the liberal/conservative debate!

My stance on it is that people can be free to own what they like. I'm not a communist, and I recognise that capital goods are a part of the system. I'd argue that some elements of the system were unnecessary, such as the idea of sweatshops for the production of cheap goods, and the relative low pay of shop workers, but otherwise I think that private ownership isn't such a bad thing.
I hope you weren't expecting a Lenin-style speech, I'm afraid I'm not good at them.

Looking at the results, I kinda wish we had forced people to pick left or right. It's so EVEN right now.

I thought it was a Right-Wing-Nazi-Fascist-Homophobic-Echo-Chamber for Bigots and Ignoramuses.

I'm a self described moderate who has liberal tendencies.

Funny... I always saw myself as a conservatively liberal anarchist....

G-bizz will think I'm lying...

Traditionally I've been liberal, but I creep more to the conservative side every year.

If the Repulbicans stopped worrying about what kind of bun I want to put my hotdog in I could probably stomach voting for them from time to time.

Of course, every time I'm about to vote their way, they do something stupid like demand that public employees take a 5% pay cut in order to balance their fethed up budget.

Now if only I could find a democrat that believes that anything that crosses the property line is officially "In Season". I'm tired of trying to trap all the skunks and possums in the suburbs

I'm a conservative with a few social liberal leanings.

I believe whole heartedly in our Constitution, and feel that our founding fathers are spinning in their graves so fast we could power New York City with them.

The best solution is an equally balanced Congress and Senate. Forget who controls either house. give them equal footing and watch the fur fly.

As expected really, this survey has no clue whatsoever.

How did you end up further to the left than me?

I worked for Greenpeace, damn it!

Im conservative, and yes I oppose immigration and foreign aid to third world countries who cant managed without my tax money.

About the same as last time. Wonder where George Carlin and Stephen Colbert would've ended up.

Did you know that foreign aid is almost always a euphemism for paying domestic companies to ship things to foreign nations?

Its basically economic stimulus.

That's true of course, however foreign aid is such a tiny proportion of the US budget that it would barely notice if cancelled.

A big chunk of it goes to Israel, which normally seems to attract conservative support. It's refreshing to see a conservative member with a different opinion.

Ron Paulesque conservatives believe in cutting themselves off from the rest of the world.

Unfortunately, there's that whole interconnected global economy to ponder over.

Pish posh. How is one supposed to be a rugged individual if one worries about the serving classes?

I was raised conservative but am more liberal with my ideals, hell I have an illegal mexican as an in law who just got his papers not too long ago, hard not to be liberal when you see two soul mates who wouldnt have met if it hadnt been for the guy hoping over the fence.

My sister in-law was impregnated by one four times by one. Two of them were born. He refuses to accept the 2nd as his child, and leaves the one he does accept with a child-molester when he's getting his drunk on. He also beat my sister in-law.

Sorry, but you can't say being an illegal is great because of a personal story. Otherwise I can turn around and say their all sacks of crap.

A crime is a crime. They cross that border illegally, then they are criminals. I'm not going to offer any sympathy at all when the law catches up with them.

But...but.. How will the third world survive without the mountains of Norwegian aid they recieve? How ever will they managed?

You'd think more would come out of that country, considering how much money Dethklok makes.
