The Flood / Which do you admire more?

The queen bee or the queen ant?

I feel like the queen bee is a lot like a militaristic ruler while the queen ant puts far more value in elaborate and expansive cities. But the ants would always win if they went to war, just because of their intelligence. They may be scavengers but they're not fools. Bees on the other hand are greedy for sticky gold (honey) and attack without order from the queen. But they're violent, fast, and incredibly intimidating.

Serious / What is the general consensus on gay marriage here?
« on: October 11, 2014, 05:43:37 PM »
I'm trying to get a clue at the kind of politics here. You guys seem to be very anti-feminist, which is closely connected to the LGBT movement, but you guys also happen to be very libertarian, which makes it unpredictable where you guys would stand on this issue. So on the topic of gay marriage where do you guys fall? Personally, I think I'm becoming more okay with the concept as time passes. I used to be against gay marriage however, because I didn't really see it as the most ethical thing you can do for the children growing up in a mono-gender parent family. But I'm still left with a few lingering questions. Is it anti-scientific to ignore the needs of a child to have two parents of both genders? Does it encroach upon religious freedom to force churches to marry gays? Can we really redefine marriage without it losing its merit?

If you have strong opinions, please do your best to control them. You need to keep in mind others may have strong opinions as well.

I loved to play these on Reddit back when I frequented the site.

Serious / How reliable are the ACA enrollment numbers?
« on: October 11, 2014, 12:54:41 AM »
It is, in my opinion, that the ACA (Affordable Care Act) is one of the worst pieces of legislation ever passed by the US congress. However it's success is still up for debate. They claim that they were able to get seven million sign ups in the first few months (at the cost of two million jobs) but how many of those sign ups are even legit? We know that not everyone who signed up was originally without insurance, and we know that not everyone had technically finished signing up but were still included in that number anyway. It just leads me to wonder how much good it did for the amount of damage that it backfired.

Serious / Are you a democrat or republican?
« on: October 11, 2014, 12:30:56 AM »
Sorry I don't know how to make a poll yet

I'm not sure if I would identify as a liberal republican or a conservative democrat. If I ask a democrat they tell me I should be a conservative democrat and if I ask a republican they tell me I should be a liberal republican.

Well that's politics for you.
