Controversial Survey 8D
17 years ago
General
[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
No, I don't. That's totally why I posted this, right?
[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
Nuh uh. No way. Nope. Only drug I've ever taken was aspirin. Only drugs I will ever take are medical. And I'll be on as few of them as I need to get well, too.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
Neither.
Just because I think women should have the right to choose doesn't mean I'm for abortion. It just means I'm not against it.
[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
Of course not! The fact this question is even being asked in a quiz about controversial stuff is absolutely ridiculous in this day and age. I would say there can't be anyone today who would ever think the world would fail from a female president, except that I know there are people who do. *sigh*
[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
No.
[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
I don't smoke the stuff, so it doesn't really concern me much, but it is rather ridiculous that pot is illegal while tobacco, something much, much more harmful, isn't.
[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
Again, neither. People should have the choice when to have sex, but that doesn't mean I'm for sex. Being for sex would mean I think it's better to have sex. I don't. It's just as good to not have sex. It's the same goodness either way. It's people's individual choice.
[08] Do you believe in God?
I'm agnostic. I don't know if there's a God.
I'd like there to be a Mother Goddess, myself, but just because I'd like it to be true doesn't make it true.
[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
100% YES
[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Why does this question specify Hispanics? Surely if illegal immigrants of one race are wrong, illegal immigrants of a different race are also wrong? I think I'm going to call this question out as racist! This is a racist question!
[10b] Do you think it's wrong that so many PEOPLE are illegally moving to the USA?
Honestly? I've not thought about it much. I'd have to look into it more, research why (in general) they're moving, what's stopping them from moving legally, any problems that may be caused by them moving, etc.
[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
It depends on both the girl and her family. Some children mature faster than others, some slower. With the girl being only 12, other family members would most likely also have much more involvement.
It's definitely a problem that should be decided privately.
[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
YES.
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
YES.
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
Yes.
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
SPANKING IS CHILD ABUSE, PURE AND SIMPLE.
If you hit an adult, the police would be called and you would be arrested.
If you hit an animal the police would be called and you would be arrested.
If you hit an inanimate object that belonged to someone else and it broke, you would be thrown out of the persons house and made to pay.
WHY THE FUCK ARE CHILDREN BEING TREATED WORSE THAN ADULTS, ANIMALS, AND FUCKING INANIMATE OBJECTS?
"I was spanked and I turned out alright!"
OK, then. By your logic, someone who's been beaten up and has recovered and is now having a good life proves that beating people up is OK and that you can beat people up too.
JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE OK NOW, DOES NOT MEAN YOU WERE OK THEN, AND DOES NOT MAKE IT ALRIGHT.
Here's a clue for you: CHILDREN ARE HUMAN BEINGS RIGHT NOW TOO.
Everything you do to a child should not be based simply on some nebulous worry about "how they'll turn out." They've turned out some way now. They're human beings now. They should be shown kindness and respect now, simply for the sake of being kind and respectful to another human, a fellow citizen of this planet Earth.
But if that's not enough for you, and you must do things based on "how they'll turn out", here's another clue for you: YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE.
YOU GIVE HITTING AND VIOLENCE, YOUR CHILDREN BECOME VIOLENT ADULTS WHO HIT PEOPLE.
YOU GIVE PEACE, LOVE, KINDNESS AND RESPECT, YOUR CHILDREN BECOME PEACEFUL, LOVING, KIND, RESPECTFUL ADULTS.
That isn't to say everyone who is spanked will become violent. But the majority of them will, even if it's just towards their own kids. If you "turned out alright" (and not all who say that did), then you did so in spite of the hitting, not because of it (and let's call a spade a spade here, spanking is hitting).
You wouldn't hit a friend. You wouldn't hit a stranger. You wouldn't hit a dog. Why would you hit a child, a being who looks up to you, who needs you to look after them and protect them from people who would hit them? If you'd hit them, they're left with nobody. That's terrible and terrifying.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
I'd do it for $5 if you provide the flag, or flag cost + cost of transportation to and from shop + $10 if you expect me to go buy it.
It's just a piece of cloth, people.
[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
Obama. We need change, after Bush.
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
I couldn't care less if someone judges me from my answers!
[19] The President has been kidnapped by NINJAS! Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the President??
I'm not bad, I'm not a dude, and I wouldn't even attempt to rescue the president. It's not like the army, the FBI, the secret service and half a dozen other agencies aren't going to get called in, and one weakling teenager isn't going to make much of a difference.
No, I don't. That's totally why I posted this, right?
[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
Nuh uh. No way. Nope. Only drug I've ever taken was aspirin. Only drugs I will ever take are medical. And I'll be on as few of them as I need to get well, too.
