CloseWhat are everyones political standpoints? Just asking. I would classify myself as very conservative, although some people would classify me as a "right wing racist nut job".
Moderate libertarian. That is, I don't vote for either party and want them out of our lives.
I've gotten a tad more conservative, but I'm not convinced enough to vote for them, and I'm against big business, big military, and big religion. Religion should leave marriage up to the individual church (the church, not the court. It's not the govt's decision either). And by the church I mean St. Stephen's By The Lake, not the diocese, or the decision of the bishop or the church as a whole. That church's pastor is the one, and the only one who can say "he's rich she's poor it'll never work out" or "God don't like no gays." This way, you can just say screw that guy, and go to another church.
Generally, I feel about politics the same way as I'd feel about someone telling me to change something about my game, extremely resistant to outside influence.

Australian.
As such I know not what you speak of. Here political parties are a mish-mash of idiocy and we're screwed over either way we vote. And parties change their policies like their underwear.
You shouldn't assume that the rest of the world knows what any of this means, btw. Or that people are just one label. In the words of that one comedian: "There's some things I'm Liberal with and some things I'm conservative. Prostitution - Liberal. Crime - Conservative."
Or something to that effect.

I do not fit into this poll's classifications, and as such, must throw my lot in with the Australian crowd.

I'm liberally conservative. I like a lot of social freedoms and I also love tradition. I'm conservative in that I like the way things are run more or less and I'm liberal in that the few things I like to change are not in the direction of a police state but more... open stuff. I mean I will happily support gay marriage (it's weird that they haven't approved that yet) and I will not be overly opposed to legalizing certain drugs (while I support the restrictive measures put on the drugs that are legal). And while I hate to classify myself as any kind of green I secretly happily support subsidies for ecologically produced foodstuff and research into renewable energy. And speaking of renewable energy and research I am also very liberal when it comes to science and I like progress, sometimes even if you have to do things that some people might consider objectionable (so while I support "green" endeavors I'm also not against animal testing and the usage of human embryos and whatnot in research). But I also like to complain about the EU and those damn lazy Southern Europeans. In the end I'm liberal enough and I purposefully didn't put any line breaks in this just so that no one would read it.

I am very liberal. For US standards at least. I am regularly liberal for European standards, although I am not as naive as other liberals. Technically I am a pragmatist and firm believer in personal freedom. And your freedom ends where mine begins (and vice versa of course).
I don't care about tradition or whatever you do with your body - do what you want as long as you dont piss off others. On the otehr hand I also don't care if you are easily offended - everybody has the right to be offended. Changes nothing though. Be offended, nothing happens^^

I currently live in Taiwan and their political system
boils down to this:
There is a blue party which wants to be friends with China.
There is a green party that doesn't like China.

I'm more conservative than I am liberal when it comes to the economy.
On social issues, I tend to lean towards a liberal position.

American Liberalism.
Not to be confused withlibertarianismfascism.
How are you equating libertarianism with fascism?

This.
And this is also why I stopped voting. The two parties represent a screwy dichotomy where you have choose between someone who says they'll help small towns, and having said small town stuck in the stone age in terms of the rights of people different from themselves.
Whatever happened to sane reasoning people who could say something decent about both things, and not try to make a choice where there is none?

because thats pragmatism, and that would be a good thing and that cant certainly never happen :p
author=arcan...Yes it does because I don't know what their policies are or what the hell they mean. What the fuck is Liberal? What do they stand for? I guess some kind of liberty but what does that encompass? Civil liberties? Sexual liberties? Do they endorse having sex with goats, if I so desired, or are they at least a bit conservative in that aspect?
Just because you are Australian doesn't mean you can't identify with one or the other.
And Conservatives. Does that mean they expect you to wear ankle-length dresses? Am I not supposed to have sex unless I'm married? Going by just the meaning of their names... it leaves a lot to interpretation.
We don't have parties like that. In Australia we have Liberals, Labour and various small parties. Both larger have crossover in their ideas and really, their policies don't change much either way you choose - just their names. (Personally I vote for the Sex Party because their policies are all about education and freedom to love whomever.)

Well I support the country. I only think there are 2 sides, the Corporation and the Country and the Corporation takes all the countries money from taxes and services it provides.
No. There's the Corporation and the Government. And both sides take from the Country, leaving people with little to carry on their daily lives.
Sounds similar to Britain.
Liberals are not liberal (they don't really "give" which is what the word means). Conservatives are not conservative (they don't care about saving natural resources). Both of these parties are not only boring to vote for but their names are outright lies.

Liberalism and Conservatism are political positions. Liberals in the U.S.A. are generally Democrats and Conservatives are generally Republicans.
Keep in mind not everyone subscribes to all of these positions, but the differences generally go like this.
Liberals want social equality, environmental protections, higher taxes on corporations and the rich, to expand welfare and social programs, for gay marriage, generally are for gun control, de-fund or slow down the expansion of the military, anti-torture, against the death penalty, want amnesty for illegal immigrants, and are pro-abortion.
Conservatives want decreased regulation on businesses, tax cuts for the rich, a simplified tax code, are anti-abortion, are against gay marriage, against gun-control, want to cut welfare programs, want to decrease the size of government, support "enhanced interrogation techniques" or torture, for the death penalty, against amnesty for illegal immigrants, and they want to expand the military.
Does that help?
