OMG another meme!!! controversial
17 years ago
[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
Sure, could be fun.
[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized, and become a strung-out, withered husk of the man/woman you are now?
Not really, even if it was legal the idea doesn't sound like much fun.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
I really can't pretend to offer any wisdom on this issue. I am a Man, i do not understand all the mix of emotions and the suffering that an unwanted pregnancy can inflict on a woman. specially if this is caused by rape. However on my most humble oppinion, Wouldn't it be a lot better if it wouldn't have to come to a for or against stand? Why not educate people on leading a responsible sex life? And i don't mean celibacy by this as sex is an integral part of any individuals life. i mean that it'd be better to educate people on anti-conceptive means like condoms for example.
[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
Guys....hailing from a country which has had 2 female presidents (including our current president) i can tell it's not a matter of male and female. Anyone has the capacity to screw up very badly. I'd rather hade a RESPONSIBLE and mature president, wheter it's male or female...
[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
It's hard....specially for very violent criminals but...nobody has the right to take my life as it belongs to me alone. It wouldn't be fair to allow that for somebody else, regardless of their acts we are all in a basic level equal human beings.
[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Hey, sure. As long as you can be responsible about it.
[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
This shouldn't even count as a "sensitive" issue. It's ridiculous to even discuss, you don't need anyone's permission or authorization to have sex as long as you want and have the consent of your companion or the person you are going to do it with
[08] Do you believe in God?
I'm a spiritual individual. I do believe in aall-encompassing existance which at least on my point of view is as much "god" as a "rock" and even "ourselves" as well
[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
why not? A human union only judging point should be the love felt in between the people involved
[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Hum, i honestly don't have an oppinion on that but if the government of tue US wants to stop illegal inmigration isn't it better to actually give them a hand to legally get integrated in the country?
[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
a twelve year old is not emotionally or psychologically prepared for what it means to be a parent, she has no way to provide for that child, as painful as it sounds she shouldn't be allowed to keep him/her.
[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
AS far as i know....here in argentina you can drink alcohol with 18. You know, this is one of those things like sex, and drugs, people are gonna do it regardless of what you tell them or impose on them, so why not teach them to make a responsible use of these?
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
I refuse to call "war" to the invation the US launched at Irak, sorry if this offends somebody. and regarding the question itself i don't think it really matter what anybody believes about calling things off or keep on dragging them. As long as there's a single drop of oil or other rare resource in that country the american government is not leaving irak. that is MY humble oppinion at least.
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
tricky, i believe it is okay so long as the person has enough power of judgement to take the desicion on his/her own and there really is no other thing that can be done to help his/her condition and said condition is very grave, (like the case of the man who was completely paralized and was destined to spend his whole life on a bed unmoving). Only onself can choose what to do with one's life.If that someone wants to die and can't it's sad....but imagine how sad and painful it is for the person who is suffering that.
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
I'd hate to do it, and i would only do it if the child would have done something inexcusably bad like sensleslly killing a defenseless animal.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Now this is not a very fair question. I mean for me it means nothing so yeah...i would burn an american flag no problem and if you are gonna pay me for it even better yet. However, for discussion's sake. Let's say: would i burn an Argentinian flag for a million dollars? The answer would be not for a million dollars... I'd do it if things here got to the point where the burning would become necessary for protest reasons. To say that things in the country had gotten so bad that carring the flag no longer makes me proud, i'd burn the flag for those reasons, but not for money.
[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
I, honestly, can't for the life of me give half a damn about this.
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
It is only natural that people will judge me for this answers, in fact i'd like people to judge me from this answers as i have tried to answer as honestly as i could. so this IS what i thing, the things i believe. Judjing is not a bad things having sense of judgement is quite possibly one of the best qualities any human being can have. which is not the same thing that being discrimatory...Judging and discriminating are different things. I think the difference between these two concepts has gotten blurred out and confused. People, make good use of your sense of judgement!
Sure, could be fun.

It was especially cool to see opinions on these issues from someone not from America, we must look pretty silly to the rest of the world right now. :X
I really don't think you silly at all Woofles-uffles!*Hug*
