You know what? Mapping phylogenies, not easy. All the trees I've made are beginning to look a big mess of lines...and my head hurts.
I really need a break.
So I'm killing time with another meme (stolen from
misora)
01. Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
If I can discuss them at home, school, work, and with total strangers, I'm sure I can post them on the internet.
02. Would you do meth if it was legal?
No
03. Abortion: for or against it?
Every woman has the right to make decisions about their own reproduction.
04. Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
Well, seeing all the countries that have had female leaders are still around, I don't think a woman as president will end in failure.
05. Do you believe in the death penalty?
For those convicted of 1st degree murder, maybe. I'm still iffy on this issue.
06. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
No
07. Are you for or against premarital sex?
I don't see anything wrong with it.
08. Do you believe in God?
Still not sure, but I'm leaning towards no.
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?
I'm going to keep this to a minimum, as immigration is a topic that can really get me ranting. I think it's wrong in terms of taxes, census stats, and crime rates. It also make illegals vulnerable to being taken advantage of; pay below minimum wage, long hours, no benefits, etc... That said, I feel that many who just want to work hard and build a better life for themselves, really have no choice much of the time. Depending on what country you come from, they practically have to jump through hoops just to able to immigrate.
Wow, that was long anyway.
11. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
If she her family supports her, and the pregnancy won't damage her health, then yes.
12. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
No
13. Should the war in Iraq be called off?
Yes
14. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
No. If the patient is sound of mind, and is in pain, they should be able to have a doctor assist them.
15. Do you believe in spanking your children?
A swat across the bottom is fine, but any more would be beating the child.
16. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
No
17. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
I disagree with McCain on pretty much everything, and Palin absolutely disturbs me. I have a couple issues with Obama, but still seems the better choice.
18. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
No
