Oh and he has this thing for collecting souls. freshman year he went around buying peoples souls. Paid them 20 bucks and they signed a contract promising him their soul. he still has the laminated contracts.
Heh, I have a friend who does that, except she gets them for much cheaper, like around a dollar, or in one case, a packet of mayonnaise. She hasnt gotten mine though...yet.

I tried to stick to the major issues. My forign policy isnt completly worked out(I have 17 years to do that) I would have a non-involvment policy on vorign issues. So long as the governments are not overly oppressive, or expansionist I have no problem with them. I will NOT stick my nose into civil wars etc.

Your friend is fucking nuts. No way I'm voting for you. Or your platform
of eliminating private catholic schools. In my area, the % of Catholic
Schools that are US Dept of Education Blue Ribbon accredited outnumber
the PUBIC sckuels that are accreditied by roughly 2-1 ratio.

I survived a decade and a half of PUBIC skuels...no way in hell I'm sending
my kids to a pubic skuel run by a pack of retarded kids. Even the rich kids
in Catholic Schools fail, as opposed to social promotion in most PUBIC skuels.

I didnt say eliminate them. I said, cut government funding to them. We have to protect the establisment clause.

I may of course re-consider my running mate. I have to be a vote whore after all :D

Besides Russell doesnt agree with me on a few issues.

Oh an shep...Please learn how to spell Schools :D

Do I see the US Government holding a gun to my head and telling me
to convert to Roman Catholicism or die?

Do I see any official proclaimations of Roman Catholicism as the official
religion of the USA?

Nope.

So what about the establishment clause?

By giving funding to a catholic school, the government is funding religious indoctrination. That is something I will not tolerate.

I don't give a damn. Catholic Schools turn out a generally more well-educated kid than comparable PUBIC SKUELS.

I couldn't give a damn if my tax money was going to fund a mosque
school, as long as the kids could outperform their pubic skuel counterparts.

That's your perogative then. I dont like ultra-conservatives so cutting off funding to all religious schools is mine. Though by increasing funding to public schools they will have the materials to teach their students(current text-books) and the teachers will be adequatly paid. The students will be performing better.

Oh bullshit. Throwing money at the schools isn't the solution to the problem.

If that was true, than Prince George's County Schools would be in
great fucking shape. The people over there have been throwing piles of
cash at their school system, and it STILL FUCKING SUCKS.

I like your stance on funding the public schools. Just out of curiosity, how much would you fund per student? You might have my vote yet!

As for your running mate, perhaps you should get some one of higher profile. Perhaps a Jesse "the Body" or another WWf wrestler.

Shep, you might already know this, but in Ontario the catholic schools receive equal funding with their public counterparts.

Cut all funding to religious schools

The US government is already constitutionally forbidden to fund religious schools. Do you merely intend to reaffirm already established laws forbidding such funding or do you wish to enact new legal codes that strengthen and expand these laws?


Remove all forms of religion from the government

how?


Equal civil rights for EVERYONE( the govenment should protect everybody regardless of ethnicity, religion sexual orientation etc, abd no matter what you are, there will always be some jackass in the bible belt that hates you)

utterly meaningless feel goodisms. The bill of rights already defends rights for everyone (supposedly). How do you actually intend to improve civil rights to protect everyone?


Get rid of all stupid laws

So which laws are stupid? Again, meaningless feel goodisim. Would you like to eliminate welfare? Would you like to eliminate the 13th Amendment because maybe you think it's kind of stupid? Where does it end?

Make evolution, a long full year course, on just evolution a mandatory class in all public and private schools

Agree with the sentiment, but the Federal government cannot set curriculum in public schools run by the states. curriculum is left up to individual states and districts to decide.

End all envolvment in Isreal, Money saved goes to education

and abandon our one true friend in the Middle East? Like it or not, Israel is the most democratic nation in the ME, and our support of Israel is essential in maintaining our ability to project power in the region.

Increase pay for teachers, and give more money to the public school system

Again, I agree with the sentiment, but like most education issues, teacher pay is primarily a state issue. The ability of the federal government to deal with this is limited.

Legalize prostitution. I will leave Marajuana(sp) up to the people in the states

Give us back freedom of speech, and the rest of the bill of rights. I will have no fascists in my country

Again, no substance to this point. Sure, everybody likes freedom of speech, but there are alot of different ideas about how it should be governed. Which particular train of thought do you agree with? Do you want to give freedom of speech back to americans by giving everybody 15 minutes of radio or TV time for free?

Decrease our dependence on petroleum

How?

Anyone, so long as they can make the grades, can get into college(like the german system)

Isn't that pretty much the case now? I can get into alot of places, but that doesn't mean I can actually GO to a lot of places. Or do you care more about funding? So do you intend to raise education taxes, or enact legislation that gives the government more widespread control over college education?

Tax the hell out of churches

I agree with the sentiment, but be more specific.

All in all America will become the pluralistic country it was originally intended to be. where free thought is encouraged and everyone is well educated. Sure taxes will be raised but with the taxes on churches....
how?
