The Not-So-Controversial Controversy Meme

This thing seems to be going around like the clap. I guess it's my turn now...
[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post?
This question is dumb. If I were unwilling to answer these questions in a public venue, this would not be here.
[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
No. Meth causes cancer.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
This is a false dichotomy. I can be against abortion, but against making that decision for people other than myself. I do my part to prevent unwanted pregnancies, but no where have I the right to dictate what another can or cannot do so long as it does not directly impact my person.
[04] Do you think a country would fail with a female president?
No more than the country shall fail with a Mormon president, or a Jewish president, or a Republican president, or a Democratic president, or an Asian-American president, or a...
[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
I do not believe there is such a thing in the United States at this time. A "death penalty" suggests that one is being done harm in being slain. We merely euthanize those criminals we do not wish to keep around any more. If we were to have a REAL death penalty, it would strike fear into the hearts of those contemplating crimes worthy of it. I believe there are mine fields in Sri Lanka that could do great things for our present penal situation.
[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Each year, hundreds of millions of dollars are wasted in the destruction of hemp plants that grow alongside railroad tracks. These plants are from seeds carried by hemp rope used on said railroads. These plants do not contain the drug THC. However, these plants are counted as the same breed of plant that is marijuana.
[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
That is up to the individual couples to decide. I did not wait to be married, as it is not yet legal for me to marry the one I love (a good thing for round one). If someone wishes to wait, I will not pressure them to change their mind and will support them in their decision. If someone does not wish to wait, I will not pressure them to change their mind and will support them in their decision.
[08] Do you believe in God?
Which one?
[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
Marriage is a religious term to which civil benefits have been grafted by means of a contract. The state has no place denying persons from entering any contract, provided that both persons are of sound judgment and maturity to make that decision for them-self. Ergo, the state has no grounds to make homosexual marriage illegal in the first place.
[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
I think it is wrong that anyone in America should be here illegally.
[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
If by 'keep' the question intended is for 'carry to term', that is not a question I am in a position to answer. If by 'keep', the intended question refers to raising a child, I am not certain of the maturity or capability of a twelve-year-old girl to raise a child. I am not saying that she would be unable to meet the challenge and excel; I'm saying that anecdotal evidence suggests otherwise. In either case, a serious breach of criminal law has likely occurred and must be investigated.
[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
The full responsibilities of citizenship are given at the age of 18 years. It is wrong to not grant the full benefits of citizenship until a later age, especially considering that the age of conscription in 18.
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
A war is not a game of baseball; it cannot be 'called off' in such a manner. Further, the war against the Hussein-led government is already over. However, as we are a primary cause of the instability in the region, however, we should do our best to return a semblance of stability to it. Once we are done playing with out toys, we should pick them up and put them away.
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
Yes, I agree that assisted suicide is illegal. I do not agree with the reasons for that law, however.
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
Any punishments for offenses committed must meet the severity of the offense, be meted out evenly and fairly, and must be handled dispassionately. Never strike a child in anger.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
I will burn a flag "when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display" (Title 4 USC Chap 1 Para 8 Sect K). I will burn a flag to protest actions taken by the Federal government. However, if I'm really up for a protest, I'll wash the flag instead.
[17] Who do you think would have made a better president: McCain or Obama?
Which would have made a better meal last night: chicken or fish (I had the beef, by the by).
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Que sera sera. What will be will be. If others dislike my answers sufficiently to desire to cause me harm, they have their own inner demons to deal with. If they succeed, then I shall see them in Hell.
