Controversial survey meme (swunked from rfachir
1. Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
No - I'm just posturing (brilliant answer stolen from rfachir)
2. Would you do meth if it was legal?
No. What little experience of intoxication I have had, I have not enjoyed.
3. Abortion: for or against it?
Against.
4. Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
What, you mean women aren't capable of careerism, mendacity, bad faith, hypocrisy, fraud or incompetence?
5. Do you believe in the death penalty?
No, except in war circumstances. And then it is not an act of justice, but of necessary defence.
6. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Yes. The hypocrisy of allowing people to kill themselves and ruin others with whiskey, but not with "drugs" so-called, annoys me.
7. Are you for or against premarital sex?
It is an extremely bad idea, but people will do it anyway. That however does not exempt us from pointing out that it is an extremely bad idea. It is better to be hypocritical than stupid.
8. Do you believe in God?
Yes.
9. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
Sure. After all, the state of Indiana once mandated that the irrational number PI should be made to equal four. Folly and unreality have never been an obstacle to the fantasy of lawmakers.
10. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Illegal immigration is bad news. A country should be able to regulate its own borders. It also should be willing to; if people will not go to the trouble and expense, on their own heads be it.
11. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
Yes. Of course, there ought to be supervision, but twelve-year-old girls are surprisingly responsible. In fact, they are often more responsible than eighteen-year-old ones.
12. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
Where I come from, there is no minimum drinking age. Recently there has been a lot of trouble with teen-agers and young adults getting drunk, which did not use to be the case. I have no strong feelings either way. But I think parents should be able to teach responsible drinking in the home. Mine did so with me, and I have only once got drunk in my entire life.
13. Should the war in Iraq be called off?
At first, I was in favour of it because I hated the Saddam regime. Then I changed my mind when I realized what a botch the Americans were making of managing the country. Now my view is that what you started you must finish.
14. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
Yes. And helping a suicide should be a crime. It is an act of squalid, sentimental selfishness.
15. Do you believe in spanking your children?
I don't believe in forbidding it. But laws against child abuse are absolutely necessary.
16. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Sure. Then I would take the million dollars, make sure of it, and THEN punch the person who offered it to me in the face. And I would use the money for a good lawyer if he wanted to take the issue further. (I rephrase the question to mean an Italian or European flag, obviously.)
17. Who do you think would make a better president: McCain or Obama?
As I repeatedly said, they both have their points, but on the matter of abortion and of foreign policy I can only support McCain.
18. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
If they don't know my views on these matters already, I have not expressed myself clearly enough. Anyway, they are my views, and others will have theirs - and put them into writing, too.
