American opinion on the death penalty

Hi everyone, I need to survey people for my government class. My assignment is to analyze American opinion on the death penalty.

I would greatly appreciate it if you all took a minute or two out of your busy day to take it here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TXPDM6D

It's only ten questions and your responses are recorded anonymously.

Thank you again!

@narcho-terrorism lolz

If you read the 20 page arrest warrant affidavit linked in the article, you see how incredibly inept these brobag excuses for t'urrists are. Nobody is really selling you C4 for 50 bucks a pound!

They talk about making C4 from the Anarchist Cookbook as a fallback if their fed friend couldn't hook them up.

So Planned Parenthood doesn't want Tucker Max's money...

He offered them $500,000 to name a clinic in Texas after him, admittedly so he could promote his book. After they actually found out what he writes about, they decided it wasn't worth it. Perception and stuff.

It would've been soooo funny if they'd done it but if Planned Parenthood has a questionable reputation in Texas, this would've helped not at all.

The Mormons are stealing souls from other religions!

They tried doing it to Gandhi, but he was already reincarnated! And Mitt Romney supposedly has a hand in it...

Women in the Military/Prevalance of Rape and Gender Violence

Recently a FoxNews pundit made some incendiary comments regarding gender roles within the military, rape counseling and punishment, and feminism. She argues that women who enlist in the military are asking to get raped and, because they are weaker, both physically and mentally, than men, they shouldn't be allowed on the front lines. Further, she argues that women who are raped should not receive any sort of support, legal or emotional, because it is not our job as a country to protect our soldiers.

First tirade

"Clarification"

Basically, why do you think that we as a culture are still insistent on traditional gender roles are why are we so eager to regard women with derision? Discuss.

Prop 8 Ruled Unconstitutional

Republican Primary

It's been awhile since I've made a thread.

Alright, everyone knows I'm a Ron Paul man. Not a lot of you will agree with me. I get it. But when it comes to the Republican spectrum, who're you cheering for? Why? Who're you hoping will die before they have a chance at winning the nomination? Now that it seems to be winding down, somewhat, what were your favorite moments throughout this whole campaign session?

My favorite:

Rick Perry is STRONG

This is my vote for campaign ad of 2012. Yes, even above Herman Cain's smoking ad. I changed the speed to what I feel the intended audience interprets the words at.
