This is a thread for serious political discussion only. Jokes are allowed but please keep them to a minimum if they are not necessary.
I'll start this thread by saying how I've changed, politically, over the course of this year.
First, I no longer believe in the free market. The free market will not fix everything, and saying "the free market will fix it" is a lazy cop-out for people who don't want to admit that they might hold one socialist ideal.
I am more statist. That is, I believe in the government more than I did before. I'm not statist to a large extent, but there needs to be some form of central authority to have an effective society. I still believe that the government should offer social freedoms to its people, otherwise there would be tyranny and the people would revolt.
I wish people would shut up about sex, more so than I did before. Prior to that, I brushed it off with the "freedom of speech" excuse, but now I think that it would be better for people to not make their lives revolve around their sexuality. This is especially because of that "My Sex Junk" video that was shown in Bill Nye Saves the World.
There's more, but for now, you guys can also add your own political beliefs or something here.
