I listed 6 completely irrational positions. Do you deny that any of them are irrational positions?
1. I'm simply against
illegal immigration, and FOR well regulated, merit base immigration... and I'm not disturbed with people showing some of the many drawback of letting people break laws. The argument seems to be that "Illegal immigrants" are responsible for a higher violent crime rate, and if you reduce the population of illegal immigrants, it will in turn reduce violent crime. I've heard/seen different sources reporting different things about whether illegal immigrants do in fact commit more violent crime... it is actually a rather difficult number to come up with because there aren't any official number of illegal immigrants living in an area.... they can be underestimates or overestimates... and there are particular crime groups responsible for the vast majority of these crimes.
Regardless of this point.... my opinion on illegal Immigration is entirely beside it. You also seem to be the kind of person that loves to equate immigration and illegal immigration...
2.Though there are certainly a fair amount of Global Warming skeptics... There is also a large amount of people... skeptical of the severity of the projection and predictions in the climate science community... they have been wrong many times. And ANY time a subject like this is politicized it WILL be corrupted. Global Warming factors into absolutely nothing to my position of over caring for our environment; I think we certainly ought to. Personally I do think Humans are contributing to the earth warming. The evidence seems to indicate as such, but that's about it. I have not found convincing pieces to the degree or on what can reliably be done about it... I simply think there are MANY other environmental issues that are significantly more important than attempting to deal with climate change... There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING proposed by even the most bold hippie politicians that would actually help whatsoever in the long run according to the "predictions".... according to scientist predictions... we would have to stop ALL fossil fuels around the ENTIRE WORLD TOMORROW... in order for the climate to correct itself in 2k years. That is simply NOT going to happen regardless, Humans WILL burn every last bit of oil on this planet until a significantly cheaper and easier option is available.... so it is in fact, up to the markets to decide and put your faith into.... in the mean time, we just need to adapt like we always have.
3. There are flaws in all systems of Healthcare. I don't find it objective to say that UK system is better then the U.S.'s or that their system would work better here rather than there. You don't know this information, you can try to have a rather informed opinion based on what you think would work.... but there are equally intelligent and professional people in this world that would think the exact opposite. There are some inherent advantages countries like the UK have over the US to be able to organize such a thing. Universal healthcare is not the end all be all of solutions and it's not evident that it is sustainable for the best healthcare possible.
You can try to put this in your irrationality spectrum out of arrogance... but you are simply wrong.
4. Rationality lol.... I don't think it is a overwhelming majority conservative position for
the state to force anyone to not protest at a football game, might be Trump's but it certainly isn't mine. But people are certainly allowed to express their opinions and try to pressure the NFL to ban such behavior from their employees(which they certainly have the right to do, and the employees can simply choose another job if they don't like what their job requires.... which is actually in their contract).
5. This is just religious people finding it morally wrong, like it is literally a sin to them... so I'm not surprised
some of them have this position. I of course do not. I would actually prefer the government completely stay out of marriage completely... and just have them recognize civil union contracts as a replacement.
6. You seem naive to constant danger we are in in this world. It is serious. I know you have probably been raised in a peace bubble your entire life... and you have no idea what it took to make this miracle of peace we've had the last 70-ish years... the world major economic powers have not gone to war in over 60+ years, and it's a miracle in human history... The most significant factor to this is the Dominance of the United states of America's military.
I don't pretend to know what is needed.... I don't know the risks... all I know is the work of various military and security experts which overwhelming in my anecdotal experience say we are under-prepared.
