This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
In order to truly prosper, China needs to lose 400-600 million to plague.

Sometime I wish that all good things residing in Texas be escorted out, and the rest nuked into oblivion. I detest the whole "LOL TEXAS IS NO.1 AMURIKAH FUK YEARH!11" right wing/fundie unwarranted self importance that seems to ooze from the state with every fiber of my being. The whitewashed textbook nonsense only solidified what I think.

This doesn't even make sense. They're strong labor force is one of their largest assets. Just sayin'.
Not just eugenics, but human subjects in research. In psychology, remove necessary disclosures.

I'm anti-union.
I think it should be legally and socially acceptable to mock religion and other cultural values.

I actually think psychology is a distraction from real science.

Psychology - a distraction from real science? Well, I guess I should go and tell that to all the imaginary people and imaginary disorders it treats, and give up on my imaginary degree. Evolutionary Psychology has some problematic methods and a lot of politicians or arm-chair psychologists will post phony or stupid findings in order to further some agenda or simply misinterpret certain studies or put too much stock into the results for the same reason, but other than that Psychology, especially for a relatively "new" field follows the tenets of scientific research quite rigorously, and has advanced mankind for the better. I dunno, maybe you're comparing it to the "real" sciences of Biology -which would be silly, because there is a branch of psychology for that -Biological Theory, and BioPsychoSocial- which focuses on the link between the mind and the body, and seeks to attribute most psychological functions to biological causes. Additionally, as far as objective truth goes no science purports to have discovered it -even Gravity is still technically a theory. Psychology is a really varied and complicated science, one that has has real, concrete benefits on both individual and institutional levels. I can't think of any books to recommend to help you explore it better off the top of my head but I insist you do -it's utterly fascinating!
This thread seems quite trollish to me. Is there some context I'm missing? Like, is all this humorous or even somewhat serious, because the last thing politics need is more violent rhetoric -especially concerning ideas (genocide and eugenics) that really do occur. This could just be me, though, since I tend to misread tone a lot when I'm reading online, especially concerning politics.

Create more nuclear power-plants in Australia as we have 30% of the World's uranium over here.
Pass a law that makes everyone a possible organ donar apon death; you have to go out of your way to declare yourself exempt from this law.
If we have to have houses right next to each other, make cold/heat/soundproofing insulation in all new house compulsory.
Illegal immigrants: Instead of shipping to some other country, we should create new towns where the immigrants are required to live there where those who are over the age of 18 will be expected to either star some kind of business or work setting up the infrastructure for this town and stay there for at least 8 years.

While I am not certain of the original posters intent, I prefer to use it as a basis for posting how you truely feel about various political subject without fretting about P.C and other stuff like that.

I'm assuming a slight tongue in cheekness where we're throwing out our gut opinions without regard to the finer details of argument, which there always are.
Mine would be I think everything should be merit-based. If a standardized test dictates the right to practice nursing, why isn't your score on this test released or significant? Shouldn't colleges be based entirely on merit as well, both in admissions and in grants and scholarships? That rings true to me, but I also know that would only work if the system provided the same opportunity for maximizing potential to every individual from the beginning. So my evil political opinion I know actually doesn't work.

Revenge is logical, Christianity is a terrible curse.
Also, I think issues of race are given far too much attention.

Proper options need to be found for democracy and capitalism. And I don't mean dictatorship or Communism. Democracy allows masses to drown out individual voices, and unchecked capitalism is a road back to feudalism.

I think issues of race, sex, gender, ableism, and so forth do not receive enough attention. Although the budget issues affect my life more, I care more about these social issues. The more I study and learn about my field, the more I see a demand for tolerance and education there alone, the more I see a need for true equality in opportunities in the rest of society. The more I realize just why, despite being a majority in size, women are a sociological minority, and the horrific, real consequences of that.
I do not like lobbying.
I don't give a shit about a person's right to own a gun, for hunting or otherwise. I give a shit about figuring out a way to prevent less injury and death, whatever that avenue reveals itself to be.

Keep in mind that I think issues of race receive far too much attention from the "right" as well as the left. We should care more about science and progress than about sectarian trivialities.
That said, for us to give those matters attention might be the only way to push them out of the public eye. I don't know. Personally, I think having a technocratic political ideology would go a long way towards solving these primitive social problems.

I also support eugenics.
I remember reading a magazine article about some stupid cow who had nine miscarriages before she was able to carry one to term. The magazine applauded her for her courage and dedication as she proclaimed that it was all worth it for her to get her speshul babby. I just wanted to smack her upside the head. People get sick. It's society's obligation to take care of the young, the sick, and the elderly. But whenever I hear about some brainless twit with some horrific genetic disease who then decides to breed and pass it on, I just want to smack their fucking head in.
There was a lady who joined my mental health support group around about the time I left. She'd had a daughter before she became ill. Fair enough. Then she had a massive breakdown, schizophrenia, the black dog, anxiety, depersonalisation, the works. The husband took custody of the daughter and legged it. So what does the stupid bitch do while she was having black outs and was on more drugs than chemists' rooftop? SHE GETS PREGNANT AGAIN. Yes! It's very easy to get taken advantage of and make bad decisions when you're in that state! You may find it hard to remember to take the Pill! But! There are contraceptives now available in injectable form! One stab, no babbies for several months! Why the fuck wouldn't you do that? Why the hell would you be so selfish as to allow yourself to get pregnant while you're on huge amounts of prescription drugs and you can barely remember that you exist from one hour to the next, let alone what you did with a helpless infant who went into withdrawl the minute it was born?!
AND DON'T FUCKING SAY THAT YOUR SON IS THE MOST PWECIOUS DIDDILY WIDDUMS IN YOUR LIFE!

Unless being "green" is also a requirement of being a successful country, that isn't a problem.

Touché.
Abortion should be legal until the child in question reaches adulthood.

I do not support eugenics; it goes against all my support for ideas of bodily and sexual consent. Besides, I find that the problems eugenics can solve can be solved in other, less extreme and judgmental ways (education, better healthcare, equality). It's only ever been a tool for the upper class and ruling race to stay that way. I don't see how, in a society that certainly is not past these issues, it could be any different.

I would accept life in a matriarchy without hesitation. Wait, that's not very evil, just "weird."

I personally and unashamedly hate 90% of rich people. I think old white rich CEO's should be forced to take drug-tests every time their corporation gets some huge tax cut, if people on welfare programs are going to be given drug tests to qualify too. Fair is fair. Think of how many expensive drugs a rich CEO could afford compared to someone who's poor and on food stamps.*
* = and this is with knowing that my father who I don't talk to anymore, a crack-addict, is on food stamps now. I know he's abusing the system. I know others are too. But I also know there are a lot of others, like me (I'm on food stamps) who are just poor and need some help to get on their feet.
I think that if they make criminalization of illegal immigration even tougher, they should also get tough on the corporations who hire them under the table and benefit from paying them less than minimum wage and get out of paying minimum wage to legal American citizens.
Accountability is important, but I hate when it's fucking one-sided and only out to criminalize the poor, not the rich.

Make corporate taxes near zero, shift taxes unto rich individuals and their assets instead. Watch employment roll on in, minimum wage and unions nonwithstanding. There are times unions are needed and times where they are not.
I want to make all schools use the Montessori method.
