World Views - For bias, know I'm an American, origins from Pakistan, raised as a Muslim.
America - We're awesome. If someone says we're arrogant, then they are probably just jealous that we won the 19th century. I'm sure we are a little. Still, I think we think that we are awesome a little too much. Our country has democratic values for one reason -- so we can fix it. The 'If you don't like it here then leave' argument should die -- The idea is to vote against what you don't like to make America the best freaking place on Earth. That is why I like America, because it has boundless potential.
Iraq/Afghanistan: We need to pull out and save money, anybody that thinks we're 'stopping the enemy' is stupid. If anything, we're pissing more people off, making more of the enemy, and leaving more of our weapons there.
Israel/Palestine: Go Palestine. Israel is corrupt and over the last 60 years we've funded them close to 100 Billion dollars, lent our technology, and let them eat out our businesses and steal our arms making industry. I don't hate Jews, but what happened in Palestine wasn't fair, and maybe it is my bias, but to me, it will always be unfair. That being said, I don't advocate a world view of genodice or anything, so I just hope in the future they can share, if both sides can deal it out.
War - We like war. In case you were wondering, we hop in all of them, spend our money on all of them, and tons of crap. We're going in the wrong direction -- I am NOT advocating a tiny military that could all stand on an island in the pacific. We should keep it big, and we should keep it spread on the world. It should not fight for corporate interests, it should not fight for others.
We always talk big about how big we looked walking out of the World Wars, how we saved everybody. I think we should note that both wars began with America choosing a reserved policy. The success from those wars has overpowered some people's ideas thinking war is the way to go. If great leaders like Wilson and FDR had so many reservations about starting war, then we should think more on every war we start. I don't want to kill our military, but it should work for America, and right now, we have no money. So we should cut back on it until we actually have some cash of our own.
Debt - Raise taxes cut spending. All else who say otherwise can die for making me pay more taxes when I grow up.
Corruption: Sadly, America's supreme court feels that money is equivalent to free speech. Sadly, we have a bunch of monopolies we have to cut down on. Sadly, we give a ton of money to the EU, foreign aid, etc, that ends up buying a jet plane or some pointless crap. Our leaders give messages in campaigns that they fail to add up with because our campaigns require millions of dollars of 'speech', better termed as bribery for anyone to actually win. America's political leaders do have a shady side, but I wish they would wise up and still work to rebuild our country. Even if you'll tune into politics at age 40, always make sure you put in time to know what you're voting for and why you are voting to begin with before you even think about electing another monster.
Religion - Have it, don't have it, I don't care. Do what you want.
Homosexuality - Sorry, I'm not down with it. That said, I wouldn't want to do anything to take away their rights, but I won't help to fight their fight either. Probably my religion tuning in for me.
Arab Spring - Go Rebels!
Environment - I'm not a treehugger. We will never to anything solely to help the trees. Thankfully, our world was designed to make the environmental option cheaper. I don't think that using less electricity will save trees - Honestly, I can only care so much. Yet, using less saves me money, more MPG saves me money, thinner paper saves me money, etc.
Humanity - Lets all learn to love each other.
