Nope.

I actually enjoy driving my car.

Not with human technology. I do not see us even colonizing Mars for another 200 years or so.
We'll do it a lot sooner than that, I think.

itt: you're a hypocrite if you don't agree withe the op's solutions to some universally acknowledged issues
You're an idiot if you think the fact that the solutions are "mine" that makes them any less of a solution.
there are different ways of solving issues. someone isn't a hypocrite if that person believes that nuclear energy does more harm than good, or that private sector healthcare is inefficient. disclaimer: these examples don't reflect my actual beliefs.
Yes, but that doesn't make them right.

There's a solid empirical basis for nuclear energy being ridiculously safe in the very near future (2030s) and private actors being incredibly efficient at the administration of healthcare. People can think what they want about these two things, but it probably means they're wrong.
you can say that you're right all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that someone who holds an opposing viewpoint to you and is knowledgeable about that viewpoint would probably easily hold their own in any kind of debate. you're coming off here as saying "i'm always right," and it's honestly very embarrassing.
You're misunderstanding me.

Not opposing nuclear energy doesn't entail supporting it, and supporting it doesn't entail opposition to other methods. I, personally, support alternatives to nuclear energy when the chips are down. The point is that if you believe reliable and clean energy is important, and you reject nuclear energy purely on that basis then you're a hypocrite, and there really isn't any other criteria (that I can think of) whereby you can judge nuclear energy and still turn out to be in opposition to it - that's why I'm limiting it to a certain set of propositions. The first example isn't the clearest, but the healthcare one is good. Private administration of healthcare is efficient, and if you're striving for efficiency then rejection of such a model is hypocrisy - plain and simple.

There's really nothing else to it. I'm not claiming to be right; if I wanted to do that I could've thrown in more controversial issues like the minimum wage, banking or welfare where the debate is definitely still on the table.

Dumping iron sulphate in the ocean supposedly leads to algae booms and helps boost fish stocks, as well as decrease oceanic carbon emissions.

I could be wrong, but aren't algae blooms what cause dead zones in the water?
Only in areas where they can cover the entire surface of the body of water.

But keeping the blooms in check is going to be ridiculously hard to do when you have vast tracts of water coated with them.
You would really need to, unless you dumped a fucking retarded amount of iron sulphate into the oceans. And I mean a metric retard tonne of iron sulphate.

The contradiction doesn't necessarily lie in the opposition of the programme (there is wiggle-room for information, of course), but completely opposed to any sort of experimentation or research on the topic either.

College student. Studying politics, philosophy and history.

Going to University in late 2015, and then hoping to get a job in politics.
That sounds like a contribution to society
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.
Do you mean political science or are you trying to become a politician? I'm only sarcastic if the latter.
Politician.
I want to be a movie star.
Fuck you.

You want to be a neuroscientist.
The only thing unreasonable about that is whether or not I'm intelligent enough.

With politics, you know you pretty much have to be known first. And you weren't born rich so start looking into opening a successful business.

I think I know a bit more about politics in this country than you m80

Propositions:
1 - You support reliable sources of clean energy. Yes.
2 - You think "dirty" forms of energy generation should be replaced. Yes.
3 - You think it's a problem that billions of people go hungry throughout the world. Yes.
4 - You think the West should make an effort to help the Rest get out of poverty. Kinda?
5 - You think greenhouses gases are heating up the Earth, and we need to try and slow or stop global warming. Yes.
6 - You think wages should be higher.  Yes.
7 - You think we should have the most efficient healthcare system possible. Yes.

Contradictory beliefs:
1 - You oppose nuclear energy. No.
2 - You oppose fracking. Yes. If there was a way to avoid contaminating local land and water supplies, I would be more supportive.
3 - You oppose genetically modified crops. No.
4 - You support buying food locally; you oppose sweatshops. Indifferent; yes. I don't see what sweatshops have to do with local food.
5 - You oppose efforts to dump iron sulphate in the ocean. I don't know. What does that do?
6 - You think corporations should be taxed. Yes.
7 - You oppose the use of private services. I guess? There usually isn't a choice.
Do I fail miserably?
Sweatshops were a separate point, hence the semi-colon.

I can forgive you for the fracking one. Thinking corporations should be taxed is bretty bad doe, and you should feel bad.

It's politically and economically retarded. I don't like it because it is aligned against my interests.

So are you for renewing our nuclear weapons program?

Yes. Fuck that.

I don't want to live in a country without nukes.
Pffft hahahaha. It's like you want us to be broke. Also muh mutually assured destruction. Why aren't you for global nuclear disarmament?

What difference would it make?
You feel like you actually tried to stop North Korea eventually nuking everyone. You get to feel slightly warmer inside.

I'd feel a lot warmer with nukes going off around me. Doesn't make a difference to me.
