| I'm guessing 'bus-pass Elvis' is a parody party, based on their previous stance of Bono for Pope and turning schools into pound shops. |

Depends on many factors.
Such as where you live, family, friends, etc.
Ultimately, I believe sexuality is a private matter. I really can't stand those people who try to 'out' everyone. However, I do think it helps for famous people to come out. |

| I'm in favour of nuclear power. I think the anti side blows things out of proportion, and there is a lot of nonsense and pseudoscience concerning it. |

It's harder to date, period.
I could certainly see why it would be harder being gay and having ASD. |

| The Queen doesn't have much real power. The last time the monarch declined royal assent (vetoed a bill) was 1708 under Queen Anne. |

| The empirical research shows that the minimum wage is simply ineffective at reducing or alleviating poverty. While there is some debate about whether the minimum wage reduces employment or reduces the growth rate of employment, it simply isn't a good idea. Some light related reading and working pape... |

| Where and how do you create a micronation? And what makes you think that you would be recognised by other nations. Same way Bitcoins have purchasing power. This brings up (all joking aside) an important point of why franchise-states will succeed much faster than micronations. In order to FORM a nat... |

| There is no evidence for a soul, and to pretend otherwise is a form of self-delusion. |
