You know...
Australia has 99.9% voter turnout.
And, a political party based on the reformation of sex based laws. The Sex Party, baby.
Oh, and the Australian Navy pays for breast enhancement surgery for their lady sailors. Helps boost self esteem.
Oh, and 99.9% of the Australian wildlife can (and wants to) kill you.

I believe forms of government should differ between cultures (hence why I think it is complete folly to go around imposing "freedom" and "democracy" on other countries), but yes - something like that. Though not a hereditary monarchy. My ideal form of government would probably be a mixture between a neofascist compartmentalized heirarchy and the Nordic moot system.

I dunno. I'm pretty on board with what they stand for...
Except that whole disabled artist thing.
Maybe the female sanitation products being exempt from the Goods and Service Tax. Depending on how steep that tax is...
If it didn't take 12 years to get citizenship, I'd totally move to Australia and become a member.
And the aforementioned wildlife... Video game censorship/bans... Porn bans...
They're a lot like Georgia. Started as a penal colony. Ended up supah conservative.

Huh, I'm actually split between supporting them or not wanting to get involved with them. On one hand you got silly crap like sex education in kindergarden, admittedly limited as all hell according to them, forcing a diversity quota in parliament, political parties, and ending tax extemption for religious organizations. Then on the other you got full privacy for your internet browsing, using drugs as a means of income to the state with harsh regulations and rules, and trying to raise the conditions for porn actors.
Bloody Aussies.

I fully support removing church exemption from taxation.

And, I'm by no means an atheist who has a problem with organized religion. The Catholic Church is the wealthiest corporation in the world. And yet, they operate in the United States without taxation.
Evangelical preachers driving pimped out Cadillacs and living in millionaire mansions, and no one bats an eye. That money is supposed to go to the community. Helping to shelter and feed the homeless. Give kids afterschool activities to help deter them from using drugs and joining gangs.
Churches have a moral obligation, not just to the people who donate money to them, but to the community they reside in. They're using up real estate that cannot be taxed. Receiving donations from their members that aren't taxed.
And yet, it's far too.common that religious institutes or colonies are set up to exploit it's members. And, sadly, that exploitation isn't always financial.

I agree with the fact that members of the church, regardless of which fate, that go out of their way to secure luxuries for themselves such as expensive cars or real estate, as you mentioned, are a disgrace to the whole faith, mainly because a salary like theirs wouldn't, and shouldn't, be able to cover something of that magnitude. Doing something like that goes against one of the lessons the Christian faith teaches, and that is that material wealth does not grant you true happiness. When you have those individuals strutting about, it weakens the message.
And I don't know all that much about the American religious organizations structuring and logistics to say that I am absolutely right, but I don't think the taxation of the organization is either the right call, or going to change much. They have a large swat of supporters that will go against such a notion, and they will double down on their donation drives in order to pay the necessary taxes. I view this as more of an internal issue with the American organizations than with the entirety of Christendom at large. Having the government push them from behind, trying to get them to organize, and advertise, more youth camps, summer camps, educational drives from school to school and other things will be welcomed. Basically, get more and more of the youth more involved with the church, forcing the organization to spend more of their donations on actual events rather than frivolities, and by extent, reversing the surge of gnosticism and atheism in the population.
In the end, it boils down to the notion that the fate itself is pure, but the people who preach it are becoming more corrupt by the day. Or depending on how you view it, they are hiding the corruption less and less as days go by.

You're simply fantastic to converse with.
Unfortunately, sleep calls so I will deliver my counterpoint tomorrow.

Their both parties that support independence from Bruxells and promote a nationalistic agenda in which the well being of Britan, and France respectively, are put in front of those of Europe or the rest of the world. Front Nationale, despite it's start as a purely anti-semetic party like Jobbik, has evolved and learned to play smart politics. They have some different policies here and there, but at the end of the day, they are the beacon of hope for nationalism and decentralization of the European Union.

Well, guess I got another movie to add to my backlog

Meh. I'll stand by what I said a few pages back. If you got a problem with an organization or political party, call them out on their policies instead of calling them out on perceived Racism, whether it's true,as in the case of the BNP, or propaganda, as was the case with UKIP.
