[1] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
Not a friggin' chance! I think that most drugs should be legalized, but for meth, I might be willing to make an exception. Do what you want to yourself, but drugs that start making life difficult for those around you aren't acceptable in my book.
[2] Abortion: for or against it?
Against, except in cases where the mother's life is at risk. Should it be a woman's choice? Since I consider abortion to be the ending of a human life, it shouldn't be anyone's choice, IMHO.
[3] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
Well, it's not like we've been doing great with a male president!
[4] Do you believe in the death penalty?
Still undecided, but leaning toward no, except in the most heinous of crimes where there is not a shadow of a doubt of culpability.
[5] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Yes. Never tried it, never will, but as long as you're not forcing me to breathe your smoke, it's your choice and your body. Ditto for cigarettes...
[6] Are you for or against premarital sex?
Not explicitly for it, but as long as it's consensual, you're old enough, and you're using protection, I don't really have a problem with it.
[7] Do you believe in God?
Yes-ish. Sorta agnostic (I was raised Catholic). I guess you could say I believe in God more than I do organized religion...
[8] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
For semantic reasons, I don't feel it should be called marriage, but I would be fine with civil unions that included all the rights, protections, and benefits of heterosexual marriages.
[9] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Yes...though I do feel that the immigration process is excessively difficult, arbitrary, and seems to be based on how much money you have. Some say that Hispanics "do the jobs no one else will do", but I'm sure people would step up to take their place. And besides, I find it frustrating that Hispanics are almost categorically in the lowest-class jobs in this country. Widen the immigration flow, allow the best of the best in from Latin America who can begin to find their place in the middle class.
[10] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
If she's willing, has the proper support system, and can provide a fulfilling life for her baby, then yes.
[11] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
Definitely! For you MADD types out there worried about drunk drivers, simple solution: make the penalty for DUI so severe that almost nobody would be stupid enough to try it.
[12] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
Yes, and that's been my opinion pretty much since it started.
[13] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
If this is asking "should it be?", then I think it should be highly discouraged at the very least. Instead, I'd hope we can improve health care and the economy to the point that individuals would not be put into circumstances that would make them want to end their lives...
[14] Do you believe in spanking your children?
I won't categorically say no, but OTOH, I can see it getting out of hand...
[15] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Yes, and probably for a lot less (I'm a poor college student, what can I say?). I feel very fortunate to have been born in one of the most prosperous nations in the world, but am I particularly pround of my country as of late? Not really...
[16] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
Obama. Not that either is a terribly good choice...
[17] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
I'm sure others will judge me, but I don't particularly care if they do. I don't mind talking about such things though...
