True.

The Batlord · 04-01-2021, 08:57 PM

As a gay man you should agree that life without pricks is dull and unsatisfying.

Let's get all serious this weekend. The theme is POLITICS.

1. What way do you lean, if at all?

2. Who's your least favourite politician? Let's not make it easy and take Trump out of the running. Doesn't have to be alive. I said, Trump's out of the running!

3. In your opinion, what is the most important piece of legislation passed in, say, the last 20 years, either in your country/state or in the world?

4. And what is the most important piece of legislation that has yet to be passed?

5. What do you believe to have been the worst mistake made by a politician in your city/state/country?

6. If you could kill every politician in the world, but had to leave one alive, who would it be and why?

**Marie Monday** · 04-03-2021, 06:06 AM

1. What way do you lean, if at all?
Left
2. Who's your least favourite politician? Let's not make it easy and take Trump out of the running. Doesn't have to be alive. I said, Trump's out of the running!
Putin fills me with a particular disgust, and this Dutch politician called Thierry Baudet
3. In your opinion, what is the most important piece of legislation passed in, say, the last 20 years, either in your country/state or in the world?
I dunno, gay marriage is nice but there are probably more important ones that I'm less aware of
4. And what is the most important piece of legislation that has yet to be passed?
Strong climate change, anti corruption/capitalist terror and major wealth distribution laws

5. What do you believe to have been the worst mistake made by a politician in your city/state/country?
Wtf I dunno
6. If you could kill every politician in the world, but had to leave one alive, who would it be and why?
Wtf I dunno either, there are some Dutch socialist politicians that seem cool I guess

adidasss · 04-03-2021, 06:36 AM

1. What way do you lean, if at all?
Progressive left (not the stale old European left which is more like the centre nowadays).

2. Who's your least favourite politician? Let's not make it easy and take Trump out of the running. Doesn't have to be alive. I said, Trump's out of the running!
Probably the current Croatian president. He's a leftist but behaves pretty much exactly like Trump, trolling his enemies all day on the internet and generally filling the daily news with toxic macho bullshit. Truly repulsive character.

3. In your opinion, what is the most important piece of legislation passed in, say, the last 20 years, either in your country/state or in the world?
Gay marriage. I can't think of anything else as groundbreaking.

4. And what is the most important piece of legislation that has yet to be passed?
Urm, probably banning weapons for personal use, everywhere.

5. What do you believe to have been the worst mistake made by a politician in your city/state/country?
Croatian government allowing tourists to come freely last summer, which lead to a devastating post-summer pandemic wave. Unlikely Malaysia, which simply shut its borders and couldn't care less about its struggling tourism sector, we are poor, have no oil money and are heavily dependent on tourism to fill the government coffers. Hence...but what's a few thousand lives anyway?

6. If you could kill every politician in the world, but had to leave one alive, who would it be and why? [/QUOTE]
Maybe the current mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, because she's badass, super intelligent, very considerate and genuinely seems to care about improving the lives of others. If only there were more politicians like her in the world people wouldn't be so disappointed in politics.

**Frownland** · 04-03-2021, 10:27 AM

1. What way do you lean, if at all?

I just drink the cough syrup straight, I don't need the candy and ****.

2. Who's your least favourite politician? Let's not make it easy and take Trump out of the running. Doesn't have to be alive. I said, Trump's out of the running!

Talk about Sophie's ****in choice. I'll go with Kissinger.

3. In your opinion, what is the most important piece of legislation passed in, say, the last 20 years, either in your country/state or in the world?

Negatively impactful and important: The PATRIOT Act

Agreed with the rest that gay rights legislation have been the most positively important legislation.

4. And what is the most important piece of legislation that has yet to be passed?

The Governmental Resignation Act where they voluntarily abolish themselves.

5. What do you believe to have been the worst mistake made by a politician in your city/state/country?

The Citizens United verdict.

6. If you could kill every politician in the world, but had to leave one alive, who would it be and why?

I would resurrect Mayor Stubbs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stubbs_(cat)

1. What way do you lean, if at all?

Depends on how drunk I get. Liberal I guess. Not really a political animal.

2. Who's your least favourite politician? Let's not make it easy and take Trump out of the running. Doesn't have to be alive. I said, Trump's out of the running!

Gimme a T! Gimme a H! Gimme an A...

3. In your opinion, what is the most important piece of legislation passed in, say, the last 20 years, either in your country/state or in the world?

For Ireland, has to be the Good Friday Agreement, which eventually led to the end of "The Troubles." Having grown up listening to the news every day telling us about bombings in Northern Ireland, internment and punishment shootings/beatings, and having things like BRITS OUT! scrawled on walls down here, I never thought it would be over.

4. And what is the most important piece of legislation that has yet to be passed?

Proper Health Care reform; a two-tier system is always going to lead to a ****ty public service when those with money can buy the medical care they need.

5. What do you believe to have been the worst mistake made by a politician in your city/state/country?

Charlie Haughey and the Ansbacher scandal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charle...ls_and_scandal

6. If you could kill every politician in the world, but had to leave one alive, who would it be and why?

Maybe that woman running New Zealand. She seems to be all right.

1. What way do you lean, if at all?
Back
2. Who's your least favourite politician? Let's not make it easy and take Trump out of the running. Doesn't have to be alive. I said, Trump's out of the running!
Kentucky Senator McConnell. I suppose former Wisconsin senator Joseph McCarthy was more actively venal but that is probably just legend.
3. In your opinion, what is the most important piece of legislation passed in, say, the last 20 years, either in your country/state or in the world?
The Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2019
4. And what is the most important piece of legislation that has yet to be passed?
Can't say. Not a duck but our problems are legion.
5. What do you believe to have been the worst mistake made by a politician in your city/state/country?
The former President "sparing the American people the grief" of information that might have saved millions of lives.
6. If you could kill every politician in the world, but had to leave one alive, who would it be and why?
Politicians are like everyone else. Getting caught committing transgressions is apparently still entertaining, so why bother?

1. What way do you lean, if at all?
Since ando beat me to the joke answer I would've given, I guess I'll go serious.

I am socially left except sometimes when it comes to certain specific things like cancel culture etc where I sometimes prefer to have edgy, problematic or even evil content out there just for the sake of having it out there.

Economically I guess I am socdem... Capitalism but with progressive taxes and social programs... Until somebody demonstrates a better model to replace capitalism

2. Who's your least favourite politician? Let's not make it easy and take Trump out of the running. Doesn't have to be alive. I said, Trump's out of the running!
Hitler... I know it's controversial to say but... Hitler was even worse than Trump. Dunno what's wrong with the rest of you guys who didn't say hitler

3. In your opinion, what is the most important piece of legislation passed in, say, the last 20 years, either in your country/state or in the world?
bruh....

4. And what is the most important piece of legislation that has yet to be passed?
UBI

5. What do you believe to have been the worst mistake made by a politician in your city/state/country?
Obama telling Trump he would never be prez

6. If you could kill every politician in the world, but had to leave one alive, who would it be and why?
question sucks bruh
