I'm pro-choice and anti-capital punishment. It isn't fair to tell someone else what they can and cannot do with their body and for capital punishment, similar to what galen said there is very little chance to be 100% sure of someone's guilt. There has to be a better option through some sort of rehabilitation type program, reintegration, something...though I understand just some people are unable to change.

As a side note my views on this have changed wildly since high school four years ago. I was pro-life, pro-capital punishment, anti-immigration. I fit the whole Don't Tread On Me and Tea Party persona pretty well. Honestly very glad I grew up and moved away from those beliefs.

Oh god, you just reminded me about my libertarian phase. That was an interesting year.

Ha I went through a bit of that too, picked up weed and psychedelics pretty seriously, one of my friends is a die-hard libertarian, and in my continually altered state of mind it all made sense for some reason...err at least how he was explaining it. Weird times in college man.

The worst part is mine was in 6th grade -_-

I blame that stupid "political compass" - I took the quiz and it labelled me libertarian (probably b/c I'm so socially liberal), and then for whatever reason I embraced the label wholeheartedly (which included totally changing my economic policy opinions).

Jesus, 6th grade? Way ahead of me at the age, all I was worried about was going home and playing WoW. But it was middle school, we're allowed to embarrass ourselves at that age.
