1. Do you believe abortion should be legal?
Yes, but only when rape is the cause.

2. Do you approve of premarital sex? Yes.

3. Do you believe in the concept of a higher being (a 'god', if you will)?
No. We are as high as we are going to get. We are part of the circle of life which surrounds us. We rot, we fertilize, just like everything else.

4. Do you follow one of the main mono-theistic faiths, do you follow another type of faith or are you an atheist or agnostic?
Atheist. I didn't arrive at this easily. I come from a catholic family and have done much soul searching and reading and didn't reject my religion lightly. Its not easy to come to the conclusion that their is no after life and it does sadden you slightly for the rest of your days.

5. Do you believe in racial equality?
Yes. We are all equal.

6. Do you believe in equality of the sexes?
Yes we are all equal. Although men are built better for some jobs than women and vice versa.

7. Do you believe stay-at-home mums (moms) are what is best for children?
Yes. Maybe not best for the mum, but definitely for the child. My mother has been managing a pre-school unit for 40 years and although they do the best for the 120 three year olds they can, their is nothing like one to one interaction with one of your parents. Shouldn't be stay at home mums, should read stay at home parents. I have male friends who stay home with the kids while the wife works. Depends who has the potential to make the most money.

8. Do you believe spanking your own children is acceptable?
No. Violence does not solve violence. I have never laid a hand on my boy, he's three and puts himself to bed without a fuss and is very well disciplined. Instead of loosing the plot and slapping a child, get down to their eye level and talk calmly and precisely to them. Kids get hit because parent loose their temper..............not the kid.

9. Do you believe in positive discrimination based on:
a) race?
No
b) sex?
Yes
c) disability?
Yes
d) other? (Please state)

10. Do you believe in 'tax the rich to help the poor' social policy?
No. Because then people won't strive to achieve. Unfortunately human nature dictates than material possessions and therefore money are a driving force. We need a balance.

11. Do you believe in free medical care for all at the expense of the taxpayer?
Yes, when it works and the money isn't taken to cover budget short falls. The NHS is failing because it has been privatized partly through the back door and it don't work, it has to be one way 100% or nothing.
Personally I think the money we all pay in the UK (national insurance) should go into coffers which are regulated by an non government body to ensure that the money we all pay for our health is used for our health only.

12. Do you believe in free education for all at the expense of the taxpayer (right through to university level)? 
Free up until university. Because people who went through university get paid more than ppl who don't, therefore they should give back from their inflated wage. Why should a guy who doesnt have the metal capacity to do a proper degree and sweeps roads, pay for a lawyers education? This would work if 99 out of 100 degrees these days weren't worth the paper they were written on. Degrees these days are an excuse to drink for 3 years doing all the work in the final year. Why the hell should I subsidize some airhead to do a degree in beauty therapy. If its a worth while degree that leads onto a job..........they we can talk.

13. Do you believe the so-called 'war on terror' is being fought effectively?
No. It played right into Al Queeda's hands. If it had been about terror Osamba would have been caught a long time ago. I don't think the USA wants to find him as it would give some form of closure to the American people. What it has become, is a war on Islam, as GWB said, another crusade.

14. Do you believe using animals for the purposes of scientific/medical research is acceptable?
Yes. We already have domesticated animals. Selectively bread them to destroy any trace of intelligence or independent though to make them easier to harvest. Can't really get much worse than that.

15. Do you believe using human embryos for the purposes of scientific/medical research is acceptable?
No. The fact we get diseases is down to ourselves. The accumulative effect on generation after generation on the foods we have manufactured for ourselves,over population, the lack of clean air and exercise have put us in the situation we are in. By messing with nature now, we risk more terrible disease in the future.

16. Do you prefer protectionism and isolationism to intervention and the expansion of your nation's interests abroad?
protectionism and isolationism. Northern Ireland. We need to solve our own problems before we try and fix someone else's.

17. Do you believe the preemptive use of force in the name of 'defense' is generally acceptable?
No. Not unless it has been proven unequivocally that an military attack is iminent. Basically you can takle the USA's reasons for going into Iraqi as an example of how not to do it.

18. Do you think gay marriages should be legalized?
Yeah. I don't believe in marriage in any form so go for it. If people truely love eachother they don't need marriage to keep them together.

19. Do you believe in the death penalty? No. Birmingham 6, Guilford 4. Enough said.

20. Do you believe in imprisonment without charge or trial?
No. The British tried it here in the 1970s and its agreed by all sides that it is what kicked off the troubles in earnest. Army kick in your door and beat your mother and father and drag our brother who you know to be innocent of to be tortured and beaten until he signs a confession will make a normally peaceful right thinking person grab a gun and go looking for a solder.

21. Do you believe the use of torture is ever acceptable?
No. It distorts the facts and truth. Good solid investigation and facts decide peoples fate. Not a confession screamed out while people repeatedly pretend to drown you.

22. Do you believe your nation should be doing all it can to exploit advantages abroad that will strengthen the economy of the nation, irrespective of the effects on the nation being 'exploited'?
No, its morally wrong to take a step up pushing another nation further into the shit as you so so. Their is enough land in Ireland to feed the population a hundred times over.

23. Do you believe it is acceptable to undermine the democratically elected governments of other countries?
No. If the people vote for them, then so be it, its their will. Socialist capitalist communist. People should be allowed to choose freely.

24. Do you believe 'global warming' is all just scaremongering?
No. We are the only planet in millions capable of sustaining life. Thats because a delicate balance of the right chemicals at the right temperature with just the right amount of light can sustain life. When you start adding to that balance or create a few new chemicals of your own, you tip that balance. It might not prove to bad to us or our children but the future generations will have to struggle with the chain reaction we are starting.

25. Do you believe in agitating towards regime change in other countries:
a) at all?
Yes
b) through political/diplomatic pressure?
Yes should be the only way with economic pressure following
c) through economic pressure?
Yes. As long as its not food and medical supplies and hits the ruling classes not the people badly.
d) through military action?
No
e) all of the above?

26. Do you think gun ownership should be illegal unless under certain special circumstances?
Yes. Guns are designed to kill living creatures. Unless you plan to do that regularly then their is no need to have them. (coming from a gun owner)

27. Do you believe everyone should have an ID card carrying all of your personal details?
No. Absolutely not. If a police man stops me to check my car tires tax etc he has the right. He is protecting other road users safety. When they go on to ask my business, my address etc, I ask him why he needs this information and have I given him reason to ask? The government is voted in by us to serve us the people. These ID cards are politicians serving themselves and fulfilling their lust to control and dominate.

28. Do you believe euthanasia should be legalized?
Yes. If someone wants to die and is good mental health, or has made the decision when in good mental health then they should be allowed. Its their body, mind and life.

29. Do you believe the war in Afghanistan was the right thing to do? Yes To rid the country of the taliban who harboured the people who carried out the 9/11 attacks.

30. Do you believe the war in Iraq was the right thing to do?
No. It was all about getting a western friendly government into the second largest oil reserves in the world. Saudi plays ball, it was Iraqi's turn, like it or not.

31. Whose 'side' are you on - Israel, Palestine or neither?
Palestine. Coming from an occupied country myself. Although I think the two state system is the only way forward. Israel isn't going away, they have the right to exist. The continued expansion of settlements, stealing land, blockades and gettoisation of a whole nation is deplorable.
If their is a god, the Zionists will pay for treating their fellow man this way. Ironic, they are there because god told them in a book to go there. Though how they got there and how they remain brakes every religious code of every major religion including their own.

32. Do you believe undemocratic dictatorships should be supported and endorsed if they are aligned with the government of your own nation?
In certain Arab and African states I think a dictatorship can be healthy. If a country is made up of complicated tribal factions all with their own versions of religion and all with their own aspirations of power then it takes a strong leader to tie them together and control them.

33. Do you believe the war in Vietnam was the right thing to do?
No. see 16

34. Do you believe the war in Korea was the right thing to do?
No. see 16

35. Do you believe in engaging in guerrilla warfare if the army of your home nation has been defeated and your nation has been invaded?
Yes. Its every citizans duty.

36. Do you believe guerrilla warfare is the same thing as terrorism?
No, the USA and many other nations would be a nation of terroists today if thats the case.

37. Do you believe conventional armies are effective against guerrilla warfare?
Yes. I come from a republican family and members of my family have fought guerrilla warfare. Guerrillas loose my support when they intensionally target civilians or target areas were their is a high probability of collateral damage. Convensional armies loose my support also when they do the same.

38. Do you believe in devolution or centralisation?
Devolution here, which will lead onto centralisation with Dublin. So in my countries case, both.

39. Do you believe in the theory of evolution? Yes. There is a multitude of evidence and the worlds great minds have consistently agreed on it since Darwin.

40. Do you agree with conscription?
Yes in extreme circumstances. If say my country was being invaded by the English...............oh wait.

22. Do you believe your nation should be doing all it can to exploit advantages abroad that will strengthen the economy of the nation, irrespective of the effects on the nation being 'exploited'? Only on other competing nations like China, not disadvantaged cesspools like Uganda.

23. Do you believe it is acceptable to undermine the democratically elected governments of other countries? Only if this government is supporting enemies/an enemy of the US.

24. Do you believe 'global warming' is all just scaremongering? It isn't as bad as the media hypes it to be-the world goes through heating and cooling cycles.

25. Do you believe in agitating towards regime change in other countries:
a) at all? Yes.
b) through political/diplomatic pressure? Yes.
c) through economic pressure? Sometimes, but this is generally less effective.
d) through military action? Sometimes, if diplomacy or economic pressure fails.
e) all of the above?

26. Do you think gun ownership should be illegal unless under certain special circumstances? No.

27. Do you believe everyone should have an ID card carrying all of your personal details? The potential for fraud with this is a little frightening.

28. Do you believe euthanasia should be legalised? Yes, except each case must be analyzed and allowed.

29. Do you believe the war in Afghanistan was the right thing to do? Yes.

30. Do you believe the war in Iraq was the right thing to do? No.

31. Whose 'side' are you on - Israel, Palestine or neither? Israel.

33. Do you believe the war in Vietnam was the right thing to do? The grand strategy was fundamentally sound, but there should have been less ground troops wasted on offensives and more bombs dropped on Hanoi.

34. Do you believe the war in Korea was the right thing to do? Considering the Soviet Union's actions at that point, unequivocally.

35. Do you believe in engaging in guerrilla warfare if the army of your home nation has been defeated and your nation has been invaded? It would depend on the attacker.

36. Do you believe guerrilla warfare is the same thing as terrorism? No, since terrorism is a guerrilla war with a specific goal and utilizing specific tactics. Not all guerrilla wars are conducted in such a matter. Think the all squares are a rectangle, but not all rectangles are a square.

38. Do you believe in devolution or centralisation? Both.

39. Do you believe in the theory of evolution? Micro evolution, yes. Macro, not so much. I don't think it is the explanation for the origins of life, but evidence has shown animals adapt.
