Opinions on ... (explain your answers)
*Racism: A bit archaic, not afraid of it if it comes to science but visual components of discrimination are a bit simple.
*Politics: Of the big two I prefer liberal/democrat to conservative/republican. Of course, I'm also considering stuff like libertarian but I'm still not sure where the parties divide on some issues.
**George Bush: Die, but give me your money and your ranch and your daughters. Also would like to fight him too, given fairness and some time to prep (I'm out of shape).
*Organized religion: Sucks for the most part, though I do like the fun costumes and rituals, they're good repositories for creativity, even if they do squelch all others.
*Love at first sight: Like+Lust, I believe in the feeling but it's nothing more than that, we deify it.
*Pre-marital sex: Sure, why marry at all? Although, I can see some value in monogamous relationships should you wish to be less stringent about STD protection (and don't use needles)
*Gay marriage: Sure. I don't believe in marriage, but as long as the government gives special benefits for those who do it, it should be available to everyone.
*Abortion: I'm unsure where to draw the line on what constitutes consciousness, the divide between cells and people, animal and men. I'm definately okay with killing embryos that are still able to divide into twins, or merge into chimaeras. As for where after that, not sure.
*Animal rights: Only conscious ones. I dislike useless suffering, dislike those who take pleasure in it. Regardless, I like meat for taste and protein, I think training animals to perform labour is excellent, and that suffering is irrelevent if you intend to kill and eat an animal guaranteeably, economy should come first. Nothing is worse than death anyway. If you're just going to shear them or something, like sheep, or milk them, then yeah, be nice, pain is saddening.
*Euthanasia (of humans): If they consent in a sound mind, preferably long before any pain, and stick by the decision to do it. Other people's permission should be totally irrelevant, unless they make prior choice to give them that choice, not trusting their own.
*Cloning / Genetic research: Definately, science kicks ass. Clone me, conscious or as an organ-farm, and genetically engineer whatever you want. It's just matter, there's no soul to it. Of course, respect safety considerations, if realistic and not paranoid or biased.
*Bad spelling / grammar: Dislike it, but I tend to do it time to time so unless it's big I let it go. If it happens every sentence, making things illegible or space-consuming, I want to cause pain against the person.
Other
*How did you find out about this community?: Someone mentioned it as a potentially good community.
*Promote us one place and tell us where: www.imminst.org where or why? If why... only if you don't want to die.
*Having fun?: I'm sleepy, but I'll have some fun before retiring.
*Why do you want to be apart of this community?: Looks involved, and by reading intros I'll get a sense of who I'm dealing with. Not to mention, pickiness has it's constrasting place.
*What is your definition of "fake" and why do you think you are not?: Someone who is fake is someone who outright lies, or avoids telling truths, or words things, to misrepresent who they are, or who might hide part of themselves out of fear of not being accepted. I know how to be tactful when the community demands it, but certainly won't be here when this is the ideal!
*Describe yourself in two sentences or less, GO GOD DAMMIT!: Sleepy-eyed youth cuckolded by fantasies with brutal views and big hopes.
*And, show us at least one picture of yourself:
