Can we please get back on topic?
If this keeps up I'll have to lock the thread

Oh gawd. Another uneducated person talking about homosexuality. You know, it's important to possess some knowledge about a topic before you start stating things.
First of all, homosexuality is NATURAL. It's just as natural as heterosexuality. Homosexuality has been observed in the animal kingdom among thousands of species. Within some groups homosexuality is actually dominant.
Get your facts straight.
Second of all, tests that have been conducted show that kids raised by homosexual parents function just as well, or perhaps better than those raised by heterosexual parents.
It annoys me so much when people just spread lies like they were truth, so stop with it, and start paying attention in class.
Now, I hereby demand that you get back to the topic, or this thread will surely be closed.
pay attention in class and you will learn what you need to learn.
Most hivers are smart to some degree
Communism is the best!
It's more that the victors established a picture on Nazi Germany that's purely a negative one, so Germany can never get that strong again.
But I suppose this is the result you get when your teachers and other academics are all (or mostly) socialists or communists, and the ones that aren't leftists have a gun pointed at them, so to say.
It's not the victor who writes history, it's written by those who experience history.
Even though Christianity is a religion which is rather big the documents that contradict certain things that are written about Jesus in the Bible (which were written at the same time as the Bible) still exist.
The main problem with "brainwashed" theories is that it's hard to determine who exactly is brainwashed. Everyone thinks everyone else is mind-dead for not seeing it their way, so determining who exactly has been conditioned is hard to do without bias. Who knows, most likely both sides have had done their own deal of brainwashing.
These sorts of "wake up people" mentalities never seem to gain much support because it's fairly difficult to prove exactly who's "asleep" on a relative sense, everyone is the robot to everyone else.
Communism was a great idea, but the communists wanted everyone to be like that. The society needs to be more advanced to go commie.
So what? Germany is a huge economic power and is with France the strongest power in the EU. I heard people complaining about a Franco-Germanic powerblock.
Yea I do. The problem today is that a lot of people like to discriminate and be mean. You can say you're not like that but your just lying to yourself. Capitalism has rottened people, they would betray their friends to survive. Criminals can get out of jail by paying with money? Ain't that stupid? Money controls the world... not good.
I'm not sure what to believe in today, what's right what's wrong who can tell the difference. This "society" is just FUCKED UP! ((srry for harsh language))
Discrimination and aggression is the natural order and way of response of humanity when nothing else overrides it, like say morality or ethics which are hammered in to oppose this instinct. No society can wipe out that natural tendency, no society can be perfect - blame it on capitalism but it's a natural habit that is evident in any government, economic system or society.
If anything the main problem with Communism is that it overestimates human's capability of rationality and good nature.
So instead of aiming high, we aim the lowest, do I get it right?
Well, if that is the argumentation, then Stalin any day
Well aiming for the lowest isn't exactly the best idea either haha
Stallin type communism only breads unrest among the workers, which isn't exactly very good for a system of government that's supposed to be run by the workers - even with an iron first like Stallin had, that sort of unrest breads revolution and destroys the will to work.
Personally I don't think Communism can work as well as Capitalism in that along with the numerous political difficulties it has to overcome to get to their desired final result (rule by the people), there's a large difficulty in maintaining the work ethic that's required for it to work among the workers because many of the changes it makes counter-act normal things that drive one to want to work hard (wow I just said "work" a lot in one sentence).
Well of course, La zefarre (I always forget how that's spelled) was is just as dangerous as pure communism

The Silent said:pure communism isn't the rough one, it's every attempt to reach it that seems to be the killer.
So the answer is that there is no answer!
I think Monty Python had it right, when he said that supreme authoritative power should be derived from a mandate of the masses. The United States kind of had the right idea, but there are WAY TOO MANY checks and balances to ever accomplish anything significant.
The US problem is not too many checks on power. If anything, we have too few. Since 9/11, our government has trashed civil liberties and waged a war on false pretenses. The problems are: 1.) a two-party system, and 2.) the replacement of debate with mindless mudslinging

Whoever loses an election is still in second place. The party out of power doesn't need to prove that their policies are good - they just need to convince people that the other party is worse. Why would either party bother with a substantive debate over actual facts? All they need to do is appear on the news for a few seconds and deliver a short, sensationalistic attack on the other party. It works, and it's easy.
I'm going to just tell you to stop doing what you're doing and try to not contradict yourself. The bi-partisan system was developed initially to provide checks and balance in the house and the senate.
If you think it's good that we have something like that at all, then I'm going to tell you you're completely wrong. Not just the fact that they disagree with eachother, but the fact that we have bi-partisanship at all.

The irony is that most gents ranting about global idiocy are usually ideal sapheads.

Agreed.Questions like this bother me:
"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
Do I believe in proportional punishment? Yes. Do I believe in 100% retributive justice? No.
Some of these questions don't even make sense. There's so many examples I can think of that I can't even pick an answer because I'm not sure what they're talking about exactly.
For example: By strongly agreeing with "Good parents sometimes have to spank their children." I feel like I'm going to get placed alongside people who believe that brutally harming their children is morally acceptable.
edit: Found another. How do you even disagree with this? "A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system."
Even if you're against a one-party system, I find it damn near impossible to disagree that it's more effective in accomplishing things.
It wrote «economic globalisation», notice the 's', it looks like UK English.I'm pretty sure that political compass is based off Irish or UK politics based off some of the questions it asks in it, which aren't really big issues in the US.
I am... not sure what I am can someone tell me?
My result
Most interestingly, we have similar results, and neither am I a communist as far as I know. I know little of politics, but for example, you're saying you're right-wing and I agree on most of what you said. I think these results are wrong.http://politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=-3.25&soc=0.62

I can't say for sure whether or not this is very accurate. I lacked a thought-through opinion on many of the quiz's questions.
I don't mind having Africans, Ukrainians(spelling), Chinese, and whatnot living in my country as long as they are contributory members of our society. Most Africans and Romani come here, do nothing but have children, and then they expect the state to give them all the benefits, becoming criminals...Well, I don't believe in the entire "lebensraum" thing. I believe every people, whether we're talking about the Jews, Danes or Somalis, deserves a country to call their own. As an ethnic Swede I want to live in the country that belongs to my people among just my people, the Swedes. I don't hate Jews or the blacks, but that doesn't mean I want to live among millions of them, simply because I don't feel that I have much at all in common with these people and the fact that our different cultures and genes make us incompatible with each other. As you might have guessed I oppose immigration (especially from non-Western countries). I also want a large part of the immigrants already here to return to their home countries.
Now that's cleared out. Where was I? National socialism, right. I believe in a political system like that of WW2-Germany instead of the modern democracy. I oppose captialism, globalism, radical feminism, egoism, class stuggle and other elements that I consider dangerous for my people and our country.
I want to see a healthy family policy replace our current one. Nuclear families with lots of children should be encouraged. Homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to adopt children because I believe every child needs and deserves a father and a mother.
What more can I add? Economically, I'd say I am a leftist just like national socialism is a leftist ideology (again, economically). I believe in a strong state with lots of resources to spend on whatever the people requires.
I probably missed a few things out, but you should get the general idea.
Actually, it's a common fact in Psychology that, for example, kids who grow without a father tend to have insecurity, vengeance fantasies (towards other people, not the dad), and a few other psychological traits I cannot remember at the moment.I'll have to ask. What sources exactly says that there is an IQ difference between different ethnic groups solely based on biology and that social environment and/or anything else don't interfere. Find a test to determine that impossible to comprehend. And hell, whats wrong with having two dads or to moms? I grew up with only a mother, and it didn't make my life worse in any way. So I don't understand that argument.
I also noted that quite many of your views seems conservative rather than socialistic. Could just be me though.
Depends on the definition of natural, I myself don't quite get what you're trying to say with that word. Anyway, increased homosexual individuals in a population tends to happen in nature when there's a too large number of individuals in that population; it's a natural way of balancing out.Oh gawd.

When a robbery is divulged on the news and African criminals are involved, some people accuse the black people, and others like to point out that criminals are usually Caucasian. What I have to say is that, if most criminals are from my country, then we don't need people from other countries increasing the criminality. Call it circular logic, but it's true.
If an African or Ukrainian doctor wants to enter the country, then he is most welcome, but if he is a low educated individual, then no, just no.

I'm not sure what the consequences of growing up with an homosexual couple are, but if something as common as having no father or mother will usually affect the psychology of children, then...

If you actually think people flee form their country and get into you country, just to have children on your country expense. Then I'm sorry for you. Its described in sociology how people going through intense stressful conditions usually "reproduce" a lot more.
And yes, I too think that birth rates (mainly in African countries) need to be controlled somehow
