So-called "controversial" survey...
nv[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
Sure.
[02] Would you do meth if it was legal?
Fuck no. That drug has ruined many lives, and it's not even fun.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
I call myself pro-life/pro-choice. Personally, I am pro-life, and believe the soul is created at conception. Which would make abortion killing of a real, actual human being. However, I honestly believe that no society or government should have the power to dictate whether you can or cannot have an abortion. To me the cost to life vs the cost to liberty isn't worth it. In my own life, I made it very clear the final decision rested with my daughter's mother, as it was her body.
[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
I think gender has very little to do with it. A female president will have more challenges in dealing with the leaders of sexist countries, but one the other hand, I think a female president would be more driven to excel, given the opportunity. This is a pretty silly question.
[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
If it fits the crime and rehabilitation is considered very unlikely.
[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Yes. Victimless crimes in general should be eliminated. I am not a fan of the "Nanny State".
[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
While I think the idea of waiting until marriage has a certain romantic charm to it, I couldn't hold out that long.
[08] Do you believe in God?
Yup.
[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
Yes.
[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Nope. I wish that more would go through the proper legal process, I also think the US really needs to deal with the fact that being isolationist is soooo twentieth centruy.
[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
Depends on her support network. If there is none, the baby needs to be put into a situation with a good support structure, regardless of the mother.
[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
Probably. You can vote and serve in the military, but not drink?
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
Should never have been started in the first place, so yeah, it should.
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
Yes. It's the whole "assist" part. That is not fair to those that would have to do the killing. Yes there have been situations where people have been horribly suffering and couldn't do it themselves, but I believe there is a cost to ending a life, and asking someone to pay that cost is selfish.
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
Nope, though that is tough because your child will resist everything you do to discipline them. Though that includes spanking too. I think that having different levels of punishment (time out, lecture, raised voice, etc), and not overusing them works better than beating on your child.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Sure. I think it's silly to think a piece of fabric is that important. I wouldn't burn down a national monument for a million bucks though...
[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
Currently, Obama. It's getting more challenging for me to understand the mentality of McCain fans too. I started all this pretty darn non-partisan, as well.
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
No. I am comfortable in my own beliefs and values.
Sure.
[02] Would you do meth if it was legal?
Fuck no. That drug has ruined many lives, and it's not even fun.
