JCC Political ****posting Thread

So as to not clog up the other threads with wit and wew, this is the political ****posting and memeing thread.

 

Did you have to use Comic Sans?

 

It's the Tories of fonts after all

 

I come representing the JCC Movie Night party line.

 

Actually no, I don't think I agree.

 

You're a monster.

 

Political posts/threads by me to start goofy fun discussion... and rejected by me, restraining myself from posting them, until now...

Do you learn Democratic or Republic in this 2116 US election scenario?
The year is 2116, there is a budget surplus and it is a time of relative international peace, though urban crime remains a well-publicized problem
-there are many new debates, and old debates with new spins
-some of today's raging debates have long since been settled or have become insignificant

These are the platforms that the two main parties of the United States are running on:
Debate over the 2nd Amendment meets Cyborg Possibilities and Bodily Choice1. Mandatory cyborg gun implants (R), or the right to choose (D)?

Debate over 1st Amendment Religious Freedom versus State-Sponsored Rational Philosophy
2. Keep the First Amendment (R), or officially support Neo-Rationalist Buddhism (D)?

Debate over if more Urban areas or more Rural areas should enter the union
5. Support officially annexing the urbanized UK, and opposing statehood for the rural territories east of Alaska (R), or oppose officially annexing the UK, and supporting statehood for Northwest, Nunavut, and Yukon territories (D)?

Debate over recognizing a Corporation-led State in West Africa
(the new Israel/Palestine/Taiwan/Tibet question)
6. Support official recognition of the corporate government of "West Africa Inc." and end support for the democratic governments in exile (R), or oppose official recognition of "West Africa Inc." and support rebel movements to restore their former governments (D)?

7. Support keeping the 31st amendment of a national education curriculum (R), or attempt to repeal the 31st amendment (D)?

Debate over Polluted Area Cleanup Proposals that endanger new species
8. Support projects to transform polluted sites into pristine parks (R), or oppose those projects to protect the new species who depend on them to survive (D)?

Debate over Virtual Reality as a substance-abuse mental health epidemic
9. Support VR gaming (R), or ban VR gaming as substance abuse and offer VR-addicts mental healthcare (D)?

Debate over the 3rd Amendment
10. Support microscopic military-operated "surveillance & stun" drones in households likely to have criminals (R), or oppose them on 3rd Amendment grounds and use this issue as a SCOTUS litmus test (D)?

Debate over the National News Channel
11. Support the highly-successful PBS News Channel that singularly dominates news reporting (R), or support abolishing it and seeing it as too Republican-leaning (D)?

Debate over the Decentralization of the Economy
12. Oppose production decentralization and "a nanotech-based factory in every home" because of potential dangers (R), or support decentralizing production and "a nanotech-based factory in every home" to break the power of the corporations, end the influence of the cities, and return to a "rational, natural, and human" way of living (D)?

Finally, an avenue for serious Ghost posts to find their audience.

 

After approximately 1,000,000 hours of mandatory newspaper selling as penance for my capitalist roader Bernie post I am back on the party line.

 

Because I wasn't here for years, I need to know if this is the kind of place where we hate Hillary or we hate Bernie...

Besides the Dank Ass Commie Memes, I mean, of course.

 

This train is Ram Packed and headed straight for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat Ender_Sai.

Also, hope you can handle it when Idris Elba is the new Bond.
