Where I Stand (Controversial Meme Survey)
17 years ago
[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
Fo'sho
[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
Dude HELL no. I'm on a lifelong quest to.....well make my lifespan really really long. I find this substance a hindrance to that goal.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
For it. Sometimes there are times when a baby would do more damage to those already living then the damage done to the unborn fetus. I'm also for responsibility and preventive measures as well.
[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
I don't think the world would fail. I DO think the USA and it's associates would go through some drastic changes considering the average woman has very different conscious and unconscious thinking patterns opposed to men. For better or worse, I can not accurately say.
[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
Only for the worst of the worst, the kind who are literally mentally unfixable. I believe others SHOULD be socially reformed while in prison, however of course nobody's willing to go through that trouble, not my country anyways.
[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Yes. Many gang and criminal organizations get their prime source of income through illegal marijuana sales. People are going to get their shit one way or another, and what better way than through government sanctioned pharmacies? Less money for the criminals, more for our hospitals and pharmacies.
[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
Oh please: The last place you want to discover you're incompatible with your partner is in the bedroom, on your wedding night. (Yeah, I left this answer alone too. ;))
[08] Do you believe in God?
Not necessarily. I believe that there may or may not be a life form or consciousness of some sort with more capabilities than mankind, however, the deities as presented by the majority of people on Earth (Especially the Judeo-Christian god) are chock full of inconsistencies and contradictions and points that have largely been scientifically disproven. So no, although I've never sensed anything outside of the 5 senses nature saw fit to give me so I can't say for sure.
[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
Yes. I see absolutely no harm from this other than the traditional idea of a "family" will have to undergo some changes.
[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Yes. This is our country. It was made by those that had the strength to do so, and it has since opened it's borders to others who could make a better life for themselves while bolstering the integrity of this great nation. This idea has since been taken advantage of. Personally, I think this country should decree a national language that MUST be spoken otherwise you cannot live in this country. Down here in San Antonio a large number of people who supposedly live here don't even speak English. It's ridiculous and I'm tired of seeing our country divided in this way. It will ultimately lead to our decay unless something is done. There's so much more on this topic as I feel strongly about it, but that's for another journal...
[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
If she has the financial and mental capabilities to do so, why not? Still, my offer of $50 still stands for whoever can find me such a person.
[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
I think age should hardly play a factor with alcohol. The age rule was originally designed to match the average level of responsibility and knowledge of alcohol, that has since changed however quite drastically. If anything it should be raised, though that may just make younger kids want it even more. Regardless of all this change, the parent's role is STILL to educate the children on what is NOT taught in school: Responsibility
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
Yes and no. Yes because we have our own problems and the nation of Iraq has done nothing for us really (As far as I know). We don't need our young men dying everday for such a trivial cause. We aren't fighting evil like in WWII.... And no because we're on the verge of something great, pulling a nation out of 3rd world status and bringing them up to speed with modern society.
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
Have you ever laid in a hospital bed, knowing you are going to die? You're in so much pain that they keep loading you up with pain meds until you're sick and instead of helping they are just making you feel worse? Yeeaah. I think assisted suicide shoul be legal. We are *humane* enough to put animals down when they are suffering, but not people. Something seems very wrong with that ideal to me. (Left the same)
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
I believe in sitting down with them and, not just talking to them, but really getting them to understand what they did was wrong. Second offense: Punch to the solar plexus.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
If my life depends on it :P
[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
Talk about a gimmie: Obama. Let's see: on one side we've got a poor kid who went to Harvard, graduated at the top of his class, Constitutional Scholar, taught Constitutional law for years, served with distinction in his state's legislature, went on to the nation's Senate and got on the loose nukes ish with Richard Lugar right off the bat. On the other: a crazy old man who was a maverick (about fifteen years ago), who graduated near the bottom of his class in the college his fam got him into, has had serious anger issues his entire life, who swings in whichever direction the money's coming from, whose hands are still dirty from the LAST government bailout he was part of, whose policies don't differ a bit from those of the worst president we've ever had, who surrounds himself with right-wing lobbyists and has a poisonous religious nut as a running mate. There's a choice here? (Left same: Agree)
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
I get judged all the time.
