I'm a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist. Have at you.

Gesar, good Tibettan name.

Yeah, I'm a Buddhist as well (I was born one, so I'm not one of those shitty teenage "Buddhists").

I'm a minarchist which kind of sums it all up. That is I believe the only functions of government should be protection against physical harm and coersion as well as the protection of private contracts (police, military, courts). I believe in the Austrian School of economics. However:

-I completely oppose abortion in all cases (apart from rape and when the mother's life is in danger, there I am undecided),
-I strongly support the death penalty for rapists and murderers,
-I am against intellectual property laws

The choice of wording here is quite revealing. More about economics than about you, but still...

What an intriguing statement...

Bit hypocritical, old bean?

No, second hand smoke is awful. I also oppose smoking around children for the same reason.

Well, that's questionable. Independent studies have found that half an hour in front of a barbecue is more harmful than a being in a room 24/7 for a month, that's so cigarette-smoky one can't see one's hand in front of one's face. The 'harm' of second-hand smoke is imaginary, unless you wouldn't expose children to a barbecue, or a street full of traffic. Of course the harm of constant long-term exposure is a different question, I wouldn't bring up a child from the cradle until he's twenty in a smoky house either. Certainly doesn't mean an hour in a smoky pub has a noticeable affect on a man's health, or that second-hand smoke in public places contravenes Mills' harm principle.

I oppose idiots who listen to studies funded by the Labour government, personally. Absolutely mad what those studies came up with, two non-independent studies funded by the government went completely against twenty years of evidence and went so far as to say furniture that had been in a smoky room is harmful to one's health. I think they said 'potentially' harmful, which might be true, in the same way that it is potentially harmful to eat chicken.

Weird mix of silly socialist ideas with misguided English nationalism. You're in one of these new half-arsed-fascist English nationalist parties, aren't you?

Its pretty amazing, reading what I put up there. Ive like completely reversed on everything.
