Just wanted to prove that political diversity ain't dead. Remember, don't downvote for disagreements.

Lessee... I suppose my hottest take is that no lives are sacred. I believe that human expansion into more 'wild' domains is a mistake and that national and state parks' availability should be limited (geographically - you may not venture into the Deep Parks). This probably borders on some vaguely eco-fascy beliefs, and I recognize human's inexorable curiousity and desire to explore, but you will never find me mourning a human victim of a wild animal.

We can disagree a bit about the sacredness of life but I think we agree about oreseving nature. Yet I think national parks are both a good and a practical necessity. If the general public can’t get a taste of wilderness they will not value it, and will not protest its demise. So it’s a balancing act— in a perfect world sure have some very large untouched reserves, but if you care about any wilderness surviving then national parks are a must imho.

I'm going to expect a lot of dislikes for this one...

Neutering/Spaying is animal abuse.

I lean pretty hard left who is also pro death-penalty (IN VERY SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES)

  • If the case has absolutely been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

  • All appeals have been exhausted.

  • Proof is absolutely undeniable.

  • Guilty party shows no remorse.

  • Crime is suffiently heinous (mass murder, child killing, serial killers, etc...)

  • A legitimate psychiatric board has deemed that there is little to no chance at rehabilitation nor does the guilty party show any inclination to want to rehabilitate.

if ALL those things are true, (plus some that I haven't even considered) then I would rather execute them than pay for their living expenses for the rest of their natural life, or worse see them released at the end of their sentance absolutely knowing that they'll do it again.

I'm centrist so I probably believe in something that offends both sides.
