A lot of you here think that he is an awful politician, but no reasoning (at least that I've seen) has been given. My parents seem to be supporters of him so it'd be nice to educate them for once. So, what exactly is wrong with him?

personally, i dont think he's a serious candidate, but most of my problems with him stem from his social policies and his stance on climate change.

Anthropogenic climate change denial is a big issue.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Well, he doesn't believe the study of Earth processes to be considered a "real science".

I don't know very much myself about his wider goals but that just popped up to me recently, and as a budding geologist that makes me sad.

His priorities are out of whack and I don't agree with him on any of the stances that are at the forefront of his campaign.

But his mother was a US citizen, which makes him a US citizen.

Which I find funny that they're using that distinction, since so many people went after Obama. Using the definition that Cruz is using, Obama would be a natural citizen even if we was born in Kenya [which he wasn't]

This really doesn't matter, we can just kill the ones we don't want after they're born. It's has a higher rate of precision.

>anti gay (marriage, parades, public outings)
I don't know about you, but they need to keep their "outings" in their fucking pants instead of in my children's faces.

Quote
>pro traditional marriage
Why wouldn't you want this? It's like you think you can rape your wife, or something.

Quote
>pro death penalty
So now you are pro-life?

Quote
>pro local education policies
I can't be having my kids be exposed to this African, chimp-fucking homosexuality Obama is mandating in the public schools.

Quote
>denies climate change and doesn't believe in environmental protection
Yeah, well if the environment is so tough it can protect itself.

Quote
>pro gun and arms trade
Well, duh. We need efficient tools when we're killing queers.

Quote
>anti universal health care
So? If it's universal, that means we haven't denied it to people. And we want to deny it to any gays or Mexicans we miss.

Quote
>wants to build a wall to keep immigrants out
No, it's not so we can keep them out. It's so they'll drop a few feet before hitting the land-mines; gives them better trajectory.

I'm so sick of ignorant motherfuckers twisting the meaning of jihad. It means "struggle" or "to struggle (against)". It doesn't mean "war" or whatever the fuck people think it means, dumbshit Muslim terrorists included.

The point of jihad is to be faithful, pure, remain true to Islam, and to struggle against wickedness.

there are two jihads

the "lesser" jihad is holy war
the "greater" jihad is what you describe; an inner struggle to remain pious and transcend worldly desire

I do not see why these are bad things. And don't throw out rape as an example, or when the mother's life is in danger. Those are grey areas.

Yeah, screw freedom of religion.

Wanting to stem the flow of ILLEGAL immigrants is not bad.

So what about the situation where you're well off enough financially where you could cover yourself fine, but if you had a kid, you'd both suffer greatly. Or if you're a university student who would have to drop out if you had a baby. Especially if it were an accident.

It'll cost billions and billions of dollars to build a wall sufficient enough to keep immigrants out. And that's just from the land. They'll all just find another way to get across. Like y'know. Taking a boat. Or an airplane.

A wall would be a gigantic waste of money and it's just populist rhetoric.

I see your point in regards to the latter.

On the former, however, I vehemently disagree. Actions have consequences. It is inexcusable to deny someone the chance at life because of a mistake you made. Granted, had you not made the mistake their life would not have occurred, but because you did, their life WILL begin. I'd say denying someone life is not a proportionate response to potential financial hardship.

I don't understand how people can seriously support abortion outside of certain circumstances.

But in the first case, it's either both of you have a shitty, burdened life, or you have a financially stable life. It wouldn't be fair to either the mother or her child.

Adoption is an option. An option preferable to denying someone life.

I can agree with that.

But, I dunno. My opinion on abortion isn't that strong, but the way I see it, if you make it illegal, people will just get abortions in back-alleys which will be far more dangerous for the mother. At least if it's legal, you won't be endangering the mother for an operation a good deal of them would do regardless of its legality.
