Meme time! "Controversial" survey
[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
Not really sure what to make of that. I'm not so immature that I respond to dares. I'm doing this because I find it interesting and diverting.
[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
Even if it were legal, it would still be stupid.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
Abstain. I'm male. I can't get pregnant. I should have no legal say in the matter, and nothing more than an advisory role at best when it involves me.
[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
*snerk* When we have elections for President of Earth, I'll let you know...
[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
I think it exists whether I believe in it or not. Should it be exercised? That's a different matter. And more complex for this survey.
[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Yes.
[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
Very for. How are you going ot know if you're sexually compatible with someone if you don't check?
[08] Do you believe in God?
I believe the universe is alive and aware on a scale we can't comprehend, but I don't think there's a stern Zeus-like giant father-figure in the sky meting out reward and punishment.
[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
Wrong way round -- I think the question of gender should be eliminated from marriage in general.
[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Yes. They can wait in line like the ones who immigrate legally.
[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
I'm not going to dictate what's right for another. It's up to her and her family to work out the best option(s).
[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
The age to buy alcohol? Yes. Provided kids are brought up with an understanding and respect for it, analogous to how things are in Europe.
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
On account of rain? :P We should never have gone in there, and now that we're in there, we can't stay and we can't leave. Both are disastrous.
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
Mostly. As long as there's life, there's hope. Once someone is dead, that's it. A cure for what they had might be worked out the following week, and then their family's gonna feel pretty stupid. If something is destroying quality of life and can't be cured, freeze 'em down. Cryogenics. Put 'em on ice until something can be done. Inflicted death should be reserved for unsalvagable criminals.
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
In limited fashion. If they're doing something they know is against the rules, and know I know they're doing it -- testing limits, as kids do -- they're gonna get a swat on the butt.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Sure. It's only a symbol, and -- as George Carlin said -- I'll leave symbols for the symbol-minded. I wouldn't feel the need to make a public spectacle of it anyway.
[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
*giggles* You're joking, right?
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
I haven't really cared what people think of me for a while. I do a little, but I don't let it keep me up at night.
