Controversy Meme

Nobody tagged me, I just fancy annoying people who've watched me for the naked foxy picture n.n
[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
Why yes, yes I do.
[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized, and become a strung-out, whithered hust of a man/woman you are now?
If I wanted to kill myself, why would I spend thousands of dollars and years of ill health to do so? Pass.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
For it, and for plenty of reasons.
Let me say up front that I've known people with some pretty horrible diseases, and apart from the mood swings/emo that does seem to come with living an 'impaired' life, there's nothing wrong with these people to the degree that they can't lead rich and meaningful existences. That said...
The world is adequately populated as it is, thanks. And if a woman for any significant reason, be it rape, incest, early detection of critical diseases or a state in which giving birth would be fatal to herself... do it up. My religious leanings start well before conception and end well after brain death, but more importantly I think the parent(s) have the right to decide if they are fundamentally unprepared to host an unwanted or severely handicapped child.
Further more, I do support and prefer alternatives to abortion. By all means, there should be state managed programs to advise reluctant mothers before they give birth and set up adoption arrangements before we add more dumpster babies and 'child dies in closed car' statistics to the long list of unfit parents.
[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
It's silly to believe that gender alone could cause anything to fail (except a penis pump. Kinda ineffective on vagina). Now, I think that examples of female leadership in American government have been fairly poor. Good ol' boys in skirts that do little to shake up the establishment. But really, having a person who's bought and sold by lobbyists running the country is a bad deal, man or woman.
If Ron Paul was Paula Renolds, I'd vote for her. Why not?
[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
I believe in an extremely revamped justice system. Here's an idea. Eye witnesses? Video tape? Conclusive evidence of weapon and outcome? Some nutball goes on a school shooting rampage and is caught, witnessed by dozens and filmed from multiple angles. Gun in his name, bullets match up, prints all over it. Give him a trial within a week. Overwhelming evidence says guilty. Trial lasts no longer than a work week, sentence carried out that weekend. Saves everyone time and money, and the families of the departed get a small feeling of justice served while the pain is still fresh.
The death penalty isn't perfect, but neither is the justice system. Unfortunately, the minds of petty criminals are often deterred by the threat of death as justice for their crime. It's just part of the fucked up world we live in. And really, given the alternative... life in prison... What is the point of having tax payers support a public menace for years, even decades?
I believe in eye for an eye justice. Kill the killers, neuter the rapists, heavily garnish the wages of the embezzlers. I may even support assaulting the assailants and vandalizing the property of vandals. Truly, if you want to impose a morality onto a people, which is what the law is largely there to do... then why not support 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you'?
[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
I've tasted the wacky plant. And you know what? It's not a big deal. I guess my biology just doesn't make it some awesome wonderland (or a bad anger/paranoid trip), it just makes me sleep better. Not worth the insanity of street prices nor breaking the law.
But to that extent, I think the law is idiotic. As is marijuana's involvement on the war on drugs. Hundreds of millions of dollars wasted on raids, trials and incarceration of people who have had no prior criminal record. The studies have been done over, and over, and over... you can't OD on it, it doesn't cause cancer or organ failure, and there's little to no long term damage (besides lung damage, and that's attributed to certain methods of inhaling it). That's better than you can say for cigarettes, liquor or pain killers; all of which are legal.
I have no doubt that legalizing marijuana would increase the amount of dumbshit accidents that happen while intoxicated, much like alcohol, but at that point you prosecute someone for being irresponsible. In a society where it's okay to be drunk or so distracted by entertainment that you're out of touch with the world around you, exactly what is wrong with yet another avenue of personal enjoyment when used responsibly?
[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
Hard to say. My aunt once said "Always fuck her before you commit. You can change a lot of things about yourself and about other people, but a bad lay tends to stay a bad lay. And that will ruin a relationship." Sage advice. On the other hand, maybe there wouldn't be so many divorces if people got to know each other a good, long, intimate time rather than forging a marital bond over 'that thing you do with your tongue'.
[08] Do you believe in God?
Gods, plural. Neo-Theosophy is fun.
[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
Say it with me. Marriage is a officially recognized union of two persons in a consenting relationship. Wedding is a culture/religion-centric concept of a ceremony where two people are married in the tradition of the represented culture/religion.
You can be married without having a wedding, and since religion is not recognized by the government (AHEM), the position of any religion barring a wedding for any circumstances should not impact the ability to have an officially recognized marriage.
[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Maybe it would be 'wrong' if our borders weren't such a joke. As it is, I think it's a shame that Mexico is so terrible they're coming here. It is kind of fucking irritating that they expect American privileges without paying taxes or speaking English, though (exceptions made for illegals who pay income tax and speak English).
[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
Does she want it? Can she care for it? In reality, it's going to fuck with her life enormously unless her parents or grandparents step in as primary caregivers for the baby. I don't think she should be forced by law or regulations to give it up, but public health and school officials should make the difficulties and available options known to the family.
[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
I think it might be better to raise the age to twenty five, honestly. Arbitrary numbers, in reality. Some people mature faster than others, and some people slower than the majority. A drunken idiot that cuts off his hand with a bandsaw is an idiot whether forty three or nineteen.
In a looking back on it perspective, teenagers are usually unprepared for real life and responsibilities which accounts for a higher number of teen driving accidents.. even when sober. Naturally, you don't want to compound that with an intoxicant. Twenty One isn't quite the mature age, I've noticed.. but it's better than eighteen.
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
I'll say what I said in 2002. You can't have a war with no front line. We're not fighting a foreign power, we don't belong there.
We could've had full biometric ID and iron clad borders had we spent every dime of the Iraq war on domestic defense strategies. Instead people are still doing stupid shit at airports and tens of thousands of people have died fighting a perpetual battle of cultural tension.
Bring 'em home tomorrow. Sure, power vacuum, some ass hat will take over a crumbled Iraq and start wagging bad fingers at us again. But take very soldier that was guarding a dust pit and put them in an airport/train station/border crossing, and not only will morale rise but we'll be safer.
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
If you want to stop living, by all means; go for it.
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
I believe in discipline, but I don't believe violence is a constructive answer. Children are a bit like animals, they respond best when you give them attention and guidance. If you spoil them, you lose their attention and they only obey you to get what they want. If you beat them, they'll resent it and may turn on you. Reward them for a job well done, take away their rewards when they're bad.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Depends on the flag. I wouldn't burn a memorial flag, or a flag that had a prominent role in history.
But if you're talking about the nylon bullshit I've seen at walmart or flying from car antennas that don't belong to the president... Star spangled BBQ. A flag, or any symbol, only has meaning if imbued with it during the course of events it has endured. The fabricated red, white and mass produced falling out of China's industrious asshole does not have 'american pride' just because it looks like Old Glory.
[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
What is a president? A representative for the people of a nation? A speaker to our enemies and allies? A maker of goals and setter of plans to lead this country in a decisive direction?
Obama, hands down. I've seen little out of McCain that wasn't more 'stay the course' and 'that guy's fault' BS.
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
I invite people to jump up and down in rage. I'll snicker and watch them jiggle.
[19] The President has been kidnapped by NINJAS! Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the President??
The current president? .... Yeeeeah, the Ninjas can have him. I like Ninjas more every day.
[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
