Are all of this men/women for discrimination because of your sex, ... in the hiring process?


Yes, it is forcing to make sure that at least 25% your workforce is women, 5% is blackskin, some things like that. No such quota for whiteskin men.

I agree with you on a fair amount of things, OP. But I'd say Ted Cruz is worse than Donald Trump (I agree Trump is still pretty bad).

What crime did Clinton do?


I *think* he's referring to Bill, not Hillary.

It's just a cheaper (or should be cheaper) way to punish someone. Forget humane "lethal injection", they did an inhumane thing, so we will end your humaneness, hopefully in a like way as you did to your victims.


Probably the BEST thing ever said on WarLight regarding how to handle criminals. Why spend shittons of money to make _DEATH_ COMFORTABLE? Guy's gonna be dead in a couple minutes anyway. Just go full-indonesia and pew pew his chest. Or even cheaper, slice his neck and call it a day. One knife can probably score quite a number of death sentences and is super cheap.

Good in theory, but you can't stop them, even if you illegalise it, there are ways about it. Just go with the way that gives the most freedoms, when in doubt: let corporations donate to politic campaigns.


Also a big +1. Lots of people complain about it and say making it illegal will solve the problem. That's too optimistic and utopic, really. Just giving them full freedom for it would be better.

I speak from a country that's literally in goddamn ruins because of such company <-> politician transactions. You don't really have to be doing it legally; it's easy to work it around.

I have my own list of plans:
Plan:
Economy:
Place a quota of jobs for companies that must be filled in the US. This will generate money by stopping overseas shipping and bringing jobs home. This will be about 1-4% of the jobs in the company.
Subsidize farming to bring interest into the field, and keep our nation a bit more sufficient.
Limited amounts of fracking. If sustainable areas are able to be set up for wildlife, fracking could increase
Make minimum wage at the level needed for sustaining oneself.
No extra taxes on the rich, but increase tariffs.

Military:
Cut spending and size of the military slightly.
Formally declare war on ISIS. Bring ground troops.
Try to broker a peace with Assad. Fighting a potential ally will result in more lives lost.
Rally the UN to a coalition against the Islamic State.

Foreign Policy/Immigration
Allow Iran nuclear power, but weaponry will result in sanctions
Keep NATO, but require all members to contribute a certain amount of their armed forces to the organization.
Cooperate with Russia to take down threats in the Middle East.
Give all current illegal immigrants citizenship. Illegals after that will have to go through citizenship
The children of those mentioned in rule 4 will be given temporary citizenship until they are 18, and then must go through the same process.
Place a quota on refugees from Syria and Iraq. A large rush of refugees could result in social problems.
Social policy/environment/technology
Allow gay marriage to be decided by state. All territories, bases, and Washington DC will abide by federal law.
Encourage free speech at colleges.
Place more money on education. Learning is an important aspect of life.
Revive NASA and place a greater emphasis on its possibilities.
Allow states to decide the death penalty.
Require a background check on buying guns.
Introduce the idea of nuclear power.
Provide money to national parks, and allow limited mining and logging in them if agreed.
Eminent domain can be used only if the reason for use is logical
Allow abortion,
Do not provide universal healthcare, but do subsidize insurance companies which provide healthcare to the poor.
Let the district choose whether or not evolution is taught in schools.

The income tax is the worst thing to ever happen in American history. It paved the way for huge government, which is never a good thing. I don't understand how people are okay with the government just taking what you earn.

The issue with capitalism is corporate corruption. The issue with communism is government corruption.

However, there is no issue that has ever happened to a government that upholds a fair as well as free market whilst upholding the rights of its citizens and obeying a republican(as in the government type) constitution.

Well, kill Bill, sure (he's the one who indiscriminatingly bombed Serbia, right?).

Place a quota of jobs for companies that must be filled in the US. This will generate money by stopping overseas shipping and bringing jobs home. This will be about 1-4% of the jobs in the company.


Overseas shipping is great. I love internationalisation, and it forces Americans to be competitive. "Protectionism" is a form of "anti-competition". If they want to compete, they have to work for a lower price, it's just babying Americans and raising more walls between countries. Pay whoever is the best, not just Americans only.

Subsidize farming to bring interest into the field, and keep our nation a bit more sufficient.


"Bring interest into the field"? What's that supposed to mean? Farming is already a pretty profitable business with hordes of businesses. As for if you mean just farmer families, nah, don't fund them. They're unsustainable (that's why you're funding them in the first site), either they need to get better at farming either they need to do something else, paying them for failing is not a good plan.

Limited amounts of fracking. If sustainable areas are able to be set up for wildlife, fracking could increase


Petrol digging should be ended altogether, but fracking is even worse, and pretty hard to trace. More digging for petrol is not the way to an energy-independent America, since petrol runs out, while wind and Sun and waterflow doesn't.

Make minimum wage at the level needed for sustaining oneself.


You say you are all about the jobs...why do you want to stifle them with minimum wage? Minimum wage is supposedly for "worker rights", but most "worker rights" harm both workers and businesses. If someone wants to work for less, why bar them from working for less?

increase tariffs.


No, for grounds given earlier.

Cut spending and size of the military slightly.


Frankly, cut spending by 110% - make the military forces pay back the government. They've already got enough military equipment for 40 years, if they need a bit more money, sell some tanks or stuff to Luxemburg.

Formally declare war on ISIS. Bring ground troops.


And bring about more havoc in the Middle East, as America is well-known to do. Seriously, I know you might have faith that your government and military forces are trying to do right, but you can't really have truth-based faith that your government and military forces do right at all. They wreck everywhere they go, they're the number 1 warring military forces, they're the biggest block against peace.

Allow Iran nuclear power, but weaponry will result in sanctions


First, Iran might as well have nuclear weapons right now, and you don't know it. You won't know it. However, Iran has no grounds to target America if America stops its awkward hostility against Iran and other OPEC countries. I mean really, just about every OPEC country is either in ruins, an American ally, or an American foe.

Iran has enough problems in the Sunni theocratically dominated Middle East.

Keep NATO, but require all members to contribute a certain amount of their armed forces to the organization.


Or, how about NATO stops doing "pre-emptive strikes" and go back to its original purpose of a defence pact. If Canada or something gets invaded then all the countries in NATO have to help Canada fight off the invaders.

Cooperate with Russia to take down threats in the Middle East.


There is much misinformation here. Russia is leaving Syria except for the old military base. So how about cooperating with Iran, who actually has been doing the most deed against the Mashriq since it joined?

Give all current illegal immigrants citizenship. Illegals after that will have to go through citizenship


Make citizenship mostly symbolic, no human should have an advantage over another just since they were born in a different set of borders ruled by a different government.

By the way, this seems pretty arbitrary.

The children of those mentioned in rule 4 will be given temporary citizenship until they are 18, and then must go through the same process.


Ditto.

Place a quota on refugees from Syria and Iraq. A large rush of refugees could result in social problems.


No, it doesn't, it's been shown many times. America should never refuse a refugee (for one, it's ironic), since helping a human is far better than helping your government. Giving a human access to American living settings is far more important than making sure than, what...culture? For having cultural superiority? For making sure the Germanic whiteskins stay the majority? Whiteskins, you've had your turn in America, don't fret and make laws to make sure you're at the top. And...I can't really think of any other problems. Crime rates and general hooliganism are usually less than the natural population, so nothing there.

Revive NASA and place a greater emphasis on its possibilities.


There are no good possibilities, only military ones. Colonising Mars? America's behind there. Astronomy is cool, but it's just so expensive, you could spend the money on much more things. The American space programme has always been embarrassingly slow despite being very well-funded (in truth, more funds went to developing the rocket that went to the Moon than the whole American atomic bomb project) in the past, and it'd cost loads to get it up there, and with that money, hold referenda on controversial subjects, do government-led statistic studies to see what is right (for example, gun control), invest in clean energy, do cheaper research.

Introduce the idea of nuclear power.


Um, that's been "introduced" 90 years ago...America is pretty big when it comes to nuclear power. But it sharply lags behind in clean power.

Provide money to national parks, and allow limited mining and logging in them if agreed.


Allow more public access for fun, then if that doesn't work, then allow mining, and if they're still not profitable, then sell it. Keep the ones that are profitable.

Eminent domain can be used only if the reason for use is logical


That is so vague. But anyhow, a commitee should never legally choose for you whether you get to keep your life/land. Your life and stuff are the two things that should never be taken away from you against your will, especially if it's a legal misdeed.

Let the district choose whether or not evolution is taught in schools.


Holy crap, are you serious? Evolution should most certainly be taught, it's the scientific theory of evolution that has by miles the most proof behind it. But no, since you can't see an atom/chemic bonds, then it must be God holding humans and life together? Holy crap, c'mon.

The income tax is the worst thing to ever happen in American history. It paved the way for huge government, which is never a good thing. I don't understand how people are okay with the government just taking what you earn.


Keep (but lower) income tax, it's probably a necessary evil. What countries spent and how countries got their money was much different in the times of no taxes, nowadays there'd be no way to realistically fund all of it without some taxes of kinds.

The issue with capitalism is corporate corruption. The issue with communism is government corruption.


That's a problem with both, except corporate corruption/embezzling doesn't mandate you giving money to them by law, while government corruption does.

However, there is no issue that has ever happened to a government that upholds a fair as well as free market whilst upholding the rights of its citizens and obeying a republican(as in the government type) constitution.


Rights = you can kill or hurt anyone you want, and not be given punishment by the government
= you can steal anything, and not be given punishment by the government

Sounds great, Mongolia.

What party or side do you consider yourself to be? I see negatives to Democrats and Republicans here.


I am for the Libertarian group the most in America, Marc Feldman is the candidate I like the most, maybe I'll do a what's bad about him, too. But anyhow, the Libertarian Group is not going, so Democrats out of the two big groups. You see the problem list for Sanders and Clinton are much shorter than the Republicans, the Democrats are less warmongering and more for-immigration, which are the big + for me.

Well xy you act as though the government allowing theft and murder is a bad thing.

If anything, it's a good thing for the countrues that are lawful republics with more respectable rights.

When you have an economy based on the free market, you're creating a free market political sphere. You can elect who best represents you, you can migrate to a better country. If there are no better countries, revolution works well too.

In essence, if your country has an awful constitution, expect to get trampled by your superior neighbors.

It's natural selection in politico economics. You should feel stupid in exactly 3..2..1.

Why Marc Feldman is bad (it's going to be a short list):

*For lowering foreign help spending.

*For totally ridding any kind of taxpaid healthcare (including funds to lower-income folk to buy some health).
*For forcing vaccination upon children only if they go to public school (they can still spread illnesses/die even if they don't).
*Against putting any government-set restrictions on buying a gun.

*Against time limits for American lower house members.
*For curbing a citizen's suing powers (you can't sue whoever you want for any grounds).
*Against funding wind power.
*For greatening hydraulic fracturing, but with more oversight forced.
*Against mandating a photographic identification to vote.
*Against federal teaching/marking standards.
*Against testing those getting welfare for drugs.
*Against the Transpacific Partnership (TPP).
*Against legalising suicide, even for terminally ill patiences (though he is for the right to refuse life support)
*Against the death penalty.

*Against taking out references to God in government stuff.

I feel your stupidity, not mine.

So you are for governments allowing legalising theft and murder since they'll get conquered anyway? First, that's still legalising theft and murder, and it's going to happen for a something timeframe, not nothing. Folk will kill folk and legally get away with it. Second, countries don't get conquered based on how they rule, its a factor, but today much bigger factors are what resources does the country/geopolitic aptitude and how strong is it (which is partially influenced by government kind).

Think about this, though, what if the government uses the same bit of the constitution to kill anybody they want, whenever they want, for whatever grounds? That's an unfree environ, but a strong one, since they can kill any protestors (and of course, the constitution is legally mandated, so that you can't edit it).
