C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
I copy-pasted this directly from my Facebook, so, yeah. Anyways, fill it out with your own answers in a reply if you want. I think it's an interesting way to see peoples views on current events and politics. Warning: first question is dumb as fuck. Would you do meth if it was legalized? Meth would never be legalized due to the fact that it has zero actual positive qualities. Abortion: for or against it? Women should have the choice, but there should be a sort of background check and measures should be taken to make sure they have a damned good reason. Do you think the world would fail with a female president? Not at all. Germany had (might still have, not quite sure) a female chancellor for quite a while, and we're all still here. Do you believe in the death penalty? Definitely. There are some criminals that reach the point where they can't be rehabilitated, and it's a waste of state and federal resources to keep them imprisoned. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already? I'm not entirely anxious for it becuase it would of course be abused, but I think overall it would do America's prison system some good were it to be legalized. It's not even a harmful drug, surprisingly. Are you for or against premarital sex? I think people can do whatever the fuck they want when it comes to bangin', but if they don't have the means or the will to support their reward... then they damned well better reconsider. Do you believe in God? I believe there is a higher power. God? Perhaps. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? Once again, I think people should be given the option to do whatever they want with their sex life. However, there's a fine distinction between legalizing gay marriage and legalizing outward displays of gay pride and all that comes with it. If you're gay, that's cool, keep it to yourself. I don't want to know. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA? Yes, and it sickens me that we can't grow some fucking balls and deport them. Maybe if we didn't have so many Mexicans working our blue collar jobs, the prison system could have a useful purpose! A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? She can have her baby back when she shows me her diploma and job contract. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? Alcohol should be more heavily restricted, not loosened up. Should the war in Iraq be called off? Not until the Generals and tacticians say it should be. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? If someone doesn't have the cahones to whack themselves, why should anyone else be enlisted to do it for them? Do you believe in spanking your children? I believe in punishing children until the point is driven home. Spanking is about as far as you can go in terms of physical punishment- but parents need to take care to use it liberally. When a child identifies spanking as punishment for a SERIOUS problem, they'll probably do all in their power to avoid it. If it becomes common, they'll simply learn to accept it. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? Never. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? I don't trust either one of them, quite frankly. What America needs (as sorry as I am to say it) is a dictator or person of supreme authority to set it back on the right course. We've gotten to that point where an elected official who only wants to serve his own needs and those of his party can do nothing more for us. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? If I was, I wouldn't be posting it on the internet. Blank template for your convenience Would you do meth if it was legalized? Abortion: for or against it? Do you think the world would fail with a female president? Do you believe in the death penalty? Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already? Are you for or against premarital sex? Do you believe in God? Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA? A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? Should the war in Iraq be called off? Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? Do you believe in spanking your children? Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? (Those of other nationalities I suppose could replace American with whatever country they're from.) Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Would you do meth if it was legalized? No Abortion: for or against it? Neither, I'm for choice in the matter. Whether the person chooses abortion or not is their decision, not mine. Do you think the world would fail with a female president? No Do you believe in the death penalty? Yes, but not as a "payback punishment" but rather as an example to other people who break the law, making them less likely to do it. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already? No Are you for or against premarital sex? No Do you believe in God? I believe in the idea of god, not a supreme being that is greater than us all. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? Yes Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA? Keyword: "Illegally." Yes, I believe it is wrong to illegally move in. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? *I'm skipping this question. I have an answer but don't know how to word it without sounding like a douche.* Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? No. Should the war in Iraq be called off? No. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? No. Do you believe in spanking your children? Yes. (I prefer hitting upside the head, but whatever... lol) Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? (Those of other nationalities I suppose could replace American with whatever country they're from.) Yes. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? McCain. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? I know people will judge me by reading some of my answers.

Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA? couldnt care less tbh A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? if she can juggle the baby, school and a job... Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? im british where it is 18 Should the war in Iraq be called off? no comment Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? yes Do you believe in spanking your children? no Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? (Those of other nationalities I suppose could replace American with whatever country they're from.) yes....after all its only a flag, its not like burning said flag means you have betrayed your country Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? dont keep up to date on american politics Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? couldnt care less
Would you do meth if it was legalized? No, I wouldn't. It's a damn dangerous drug, but more power to the idiots that want to destroy their lives. Abortion: for or against it? Against it. Embryo/fetus = human. Humans have the right to life. Rights need to be protected. Do you think the world would fail with a female president? No... Do you believe in the death penalty? No. The costs come out about even, as having to pay for all of the damn appeals. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already? Yes. People should do to their bodies whatever they wish, as long as the act doesn't directly affect a non-consenting person. Everything else is abused, why should this, necessarily, be any different? Are you for or against premarital sex? Neither. I don't care what people do. Do you believe in God? I believe in *a* god, but not the God of Islam or the Judeao-Christian god. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? Of course. Again, do with yourselves as you wish as long as you don't negatively impact a non-consenting person. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA? Yes. It's still the law. Come on over, if you want, but do it legally. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? She should bear the child, but I don't think she should raise it. Who the fuck lets a 12 year-old have sex, anyway? Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? Yes. I can die in my government's wars, vote for the idiots that send me to war, blacken my lungs, get carpal tunnel from jacking off to porn legally, and get married without parental consent, but I can't kill my liver? Fuck that. Again, legal adults should have the ability to decide if they want to keep their bodies in good shape or continue to destroy them. As long as they don't drive drunk (and drinking doesn't mean someone is going to drive drunk), I couldn't give a fuck less. Should the war in Iraq be called off? Yes. We need to give the Iraqis an ultimatim. We can't force them into wanting or keeping a "democracy". Fighting a war when they don't make any effort to be independent doesn't help, either. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? Who are we to stop people from deciding they're no longer willing to live, as long as they're stable-minded? Asisted suicide should be legal. Do you believe in spanking your children? Of course. One shouldn't over-do it on the spanking, but it is a punishment that gets kids to straighten their acts quickly. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? I wouldn't do it for the money. That's complete disrespect. I would, however, burn it in protest of how wayward my government is. Then if someone gave me a million dollars, I'd gladly accept it. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? I would have to say McCain, but I don't think either will be any good, and I won't vote for either. We need someone who will actually bring back America to where the founding fathers intended it to stay. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? I'm not afraid. I welcome their judgments as I stand strong in my opinions.
Would you do meth if it was legalized? No. Abortion: for or against it? It's their choice. Do you think the world would fail with a female president? No. Do you believe in the death penalty? No, killing someone just because they hurt or killed a person or people just isn't very logical. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already? No. Are you for or against premarital sex? It's their choice. Do you believe in God? No. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? Sure, why not as long as they don't rub it in people's faces. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA? I don't care. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? No, a twelve year old should not be allowed to keep it their minds aren't developed enough yet, and if someone they knew looked after it for them and gave the child back when the mother was old enough to look after it would just cause problems. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? It's fine where it is. Should the war in Iraq be called off? Yes, it's a stupid and pointless war. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? Yes, but only if the person wanting to be dead is mentally healthy. Do you believe in spanking your children? For younger kids yes I guess but for older ones the effect starts to ware off(obviously). Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? (Those of other nationalities I suppose could replace American with whatever country they're from.) Sure, it doesn't make a country. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? They are both idiots and not fit to be the president of anything. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? I don't care, I welcome comments.

Against unless it threatens the physical health of the mother Do you think the world would fail with a female president? No, (think Condelezza Rice/Sarah Palin) Do you believe in the death penalty?

No, its already a problem in the Netherlands Are you for or against premarital sex? I'm a Catholic, you figure it out.

Do you believe in God? See first part of above answer. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? No, call it Civil Union and make sure that it is equal to marriage in everything except name. I don't want any homosexuals using a title that was originally designed by God for heterosexuals. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA? Yes. If you want to come to our country, I'm all for it. Just do it legally and learn our damn language so you can at least talk to us. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? I'd give it up for adoption. A 6th grader having a baby anyway is just fucked up anyway. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? Yes. It is in Europe and they don't have any problems with alcohol just because it is in their culture. Also, if I can vote, drive, and give myself lung cancer, then I should be able to drink. Should the war in Iraq be called off? No. We are winning, and we shouldn't cater to the radical antiwar idiots just because they don't like it. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? Yes. If you can't do it your self, why get help? Assisted suicide should be considered murder. Do you believe in spanking your children? Yes, but not excessively. The severity should match how badly behaving the child was. I absolutely am astounded when parents try to appease their kids instead of telling them to stop what they are doing. We all know how well appeasement works...(WW2) Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? Yes/No, I'm proud of what my country stands for. And I would burn it if it was worn out and I burned it honorably (idk where that comes from, but you can burn a flag respectfully somehow. I think it is when the flag is severely worn out. ) Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? McCain, because he has experience. Obama uses street thug tactics to get reporters away, has 143 days in the senate, and has no ideas of his own. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? If I was, I wouldn't have spent 1 second typing and coloring this up.

Do you think the world would fail with a female president? Yes, because women can't do what men can. Do you believe in the death penalty? Unless the convict killed three people, raped two, tortured another 2 people, killed a few kids and dug up some corpses, no. What gives you the right to kill someone? nothing.

McCain or Obama? Haven't really kept up with American politics. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? Yeah because I'm easily offended.

But the blame should be put on people who hire them, not on the people themselves. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? No. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? People find ways to get shit-faced at 14, so what's the biggie? Should the war in Iraq be called off? America should have an exit plan, and fast. They could really use the money.

Would you do meth if it was legalized? No. I would watch as all the idiots kill themselves with it, until only reasonably intelligent people are left. Abortion: for or against it? For me, it depends.

It's already 18 where I live. Ha ha Americans. Should the war in Iraq be called off? I think it should be. However, now that the USA has fucked everything up over there already, they shouldn't leve until Iraq has a competent government and military. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? I think it should be legal. Who wants to live their life stuck in a hospital bed? Do you believe in spanking your children? Yes. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?

Do you think the world would fail with a female president? are they not human beings?

Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already? see answer #1 (shortly, no) Are you for or against premarital sex? premarital sex is exteremly forbidden is islam, to protect the family. its also the second reason of why europe is getting older: "family" has been losing its importance since 70's. but anyway, everyone is free to do what they want. Do you believe in God? absolutely. too few muslims are athesit or deist under their muslim identity, unlike in europe (mostly in uk) and us. clicky: this shows the percentage of people in European countries who said in 2005 that they "believe there is a God". Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? we shouldnt do it just because alligators are doing it (u heard it right). its another thing that harms the idea of family. its against the nature of man. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA? the question is, why are they leaving their country. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? she will be so young that she cant even say her name when you ask. maybe after she stops brestfeeding her child. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? yes if the kids of people who will decide this will get drowned in a barrel of pure alcohol. 18 is still too young to decide whether to use drugs and alcohol or not. (im 24 btw) Should the war in Iraq be called off? it shouldnt have been started. around 1,000,000 poor iraqis have died for NOTHING so somebody should stop them immediately. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? its called a murder in my dictionary. so, yes i agree. Do you believe in spanking your children? no i dont Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? (Those of other nationalities I suppose could replace American with whatever country they're from.) a flag is one of the holy symbols of a nation, i wouldnt want someone to burn my nation's flag, so burning a flag will make you worse than a motherfuckingsonofabitch. i wouldnt burn it even it belongs to my nation. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? im so busy with the endless problems with the politics over here, and im never interested in the politics in us, but my mom thinks obama will be shot down if he wins the "lottery", because hes black.

Are you for or against premarital sex? That's up to the couple, marriage these days doesn't mean much anyway.

USA is supposed to be a "free" country. So no. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? If she can support it, if not then no. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? It already is... Should the war in Iraq be called off? No, unless I'm wrong, the only Iraqis dieing are the ones fighting. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? No, but, it would be used as an excuse for murder. Do you believe in spanking your children? No, this is a terrible way to be a parent. There are much better proven ways to be a parent without making your children paranoid as to the next time you will hit them. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? (Those of other nationalities I suppose could replace American with whatever country they're from.) Definitely, England is a dump I'd do it for £10. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? Don't know and don't care. They will both be the same. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? No, don't care if they do.
Holy crap people. Those of you not in America, replace "American flag" with your country's flag. That's what the question is asking. Not "Would you burn my country's flag?"
Would you do meth if it was legalized? No I wouldn't. Abortion: for or against it? Against. Do you think the world would fail with a female president? No. Do you believe in the death penalty? Yes, most certainly. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already? Not wish, but I wouldn't vote against it. Are you for or against premarital sex?

No, but I don't think it should be illegal either, the government should have no power over marriage unless a person is under the age of consent. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA? Yes. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? Don't know, I'll have to go with what the states say as it is not in the power of the Fed to control this. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? Yes, if you can fight for your country, smoke cigs until you have cancer, and vote you should be able to buy alcohol. Should the war in Iraq be called off? Called off? Sounds like it is a get together, what stupid verbiage. Anyway, yeah the war should be "called off." As it is illegal because it was not declared by Congress. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? Illegal, if a person can kill themselves it is fine, it's called suicide, anything "assisted" blurs the line between that and murder. Of course I see a difference between this and removal of medical equipment as you are "deassisting." Do you believe in spanking your children? Yes. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? (Those of other nationalities I suppose could replace American with whatever country they're from.) No I wouldn't, why would I burn my nation's flag? I like my country. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? Neither. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? It's the internets, I don't care.
Would you do meth if it was legalized? no, I also don't do cigarets or alcohol Abortion: for or against it? I'm not against abortion until week 10-12 or something like that, it's up to people to take their responsibility. I wouldn't do it myself, though. Do you think the world would fail with a female president? No, it would not: several countries have female queens and it works out well enough. I've always encouraged the right person in the right place. What I would not like is for someone to become president because she's a woman (positive discrimination is still discrimination!) Do you believe in the death penalty? I don't see why we need to pay for prisons for people that choose to kill others. Then again, it seems that our juridical system hasn't always been 100 % correct and never will be when judging people, making death penalty a dangerous punishment... Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already? No, I see no plus value for the human race in drugs, alcohol, ... Are you for or against premarital sex? You need to make your own responsible choice. I'm not against but I respect people that choose to not have premarital sex. Do you believe in God? Yes, I do. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? Marriage is nothing more than an official agreement of "sticking together", so there's no reason for it not to be legalized. However, I'm not that convinced by them adopting children yet... Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA? I'm not American, so I won't reply to this question. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? No, she should not. She should however be strictly followed from that moment because 12 year old girls should _not_ become pregnant. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? It's 16 in Belgium and I see no significant problems with this. But as I said before: I don't drink anyway. Should the war in Iraq be called off? It was the right thing to do at that moment IMO, never minding what the "real" reasons for the war were. However, it's time the troops withdraw now. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? If you cannot do it on your own, then don't do it. Do you believe in spanking your children? I don't believe in never correcting children. There's a difference however, between random hitting your kids and warning, then punishing them if they do something wrong. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? (Those of other nationalities I suppose could replace American with whatever country they're from.) Hell yes. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? I have too little information and don't have much intrest in it. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? Be my guest!
Spanking is a warning for those of you who wouldn't say yes to spanking. I think that those of you who wouldn't are trying to be your kids friends. Its not a parent's job to be their kid's friend. They are the kids caretakers and should correct the kids sufficently to what the kid was doing. If the kids did something bad, like bullying someone in the schoolyard younger than them, (this from kindergarten to about 3rd grade.) then they should be spanked. stuff like that won't be corrected by the parents telling the kid, "Don't do that because it hurts other people." Our grandparents grew up just fine with spanking. What's the big deal about it?
I have some very conservative moral and social values, but in terms of governance, economy, and foreign policy, I am a socialist. Would you do meth if it was legalized? -No. Abortion: for or against it? -For abortions if within 40 days after conception, against it if after 40 days. Do you think the world would fail with a female president? -Depends who it is. Do you believe in the death penalty? -Yup. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already? -Nope. Are you for or against premarital sex? -Against (I have sacrilegious reasons for it) Do you believe in God? -Yes I do. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? -Homosexuals should legally be able to have relationships, but marriage in my opinion is pushing it. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA? -If it's illegal, then yes. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? -Yes, but that girl should receive some help from a third party. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? -Don't really see a reason for it. Should the war in Iraq be called off? -Yes definitely. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? -I agree. Do you believe in spanking your children? -Not at all. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? (Those of other nationalities I suppose could replace American with whatever country they're from.) -I guess I would. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? -Barrack Obama.

Childhood is the only time in life where you have no responsibilities, why take away the enjoyment by making them scared of you? After all, they should be able to look up to you.
If a child grows up with no responsibility, chances are they'll remain a type of person with none. Punishment is hard to issue to kids though- If you punish them pretty hard, they start to hate you/be scared of you/whatever. Punish them too little, and they became ignorant of responsibility.

To a child, those things are big. As you grow up, your sense of responsibility is larger than it was as a kid. However, if you had no sense of it to begin with, how can it grow?

Would you do meth if it was legalized? I doubt it. Abortion: for or against it? Extraordinarily complex question; leaning towards against Do you think the world would fail with a female president? Worlds have presidents? If this refers to Sarah Palin, her gender doesn't worry me. Her religion does, though. Do you believe in the death penalty? No. Prisons should be a great deal harsher than they are, though. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already? Of course. Are you for or against premarital sex? For. Do you believe in God? I don't know if he exists, but if he did I certainly wouldn't worship him. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? Of course. If your own religion doesn't like it, your priests don't have to officiate at them. It's none of your damn business otherwise. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA? let me rephrase that to "Asians" and "the UK". Key word is "illegally" anyway, so yes, of course. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? uh.... give it up for adoption. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? it'd make no difference, it's eighteen here anyway and almost nobody waits until they're eighteen to start drinking. Should the war in Iraq be called off? complicated question. we should've never gone in and only did for self-interest, but the only way the sectarian violence will ever stop is if we stay in... Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? I don't object to it. Do you believe in spanking your children? I don't think it should be illegal. Would you burn a Union Jack or a George Cross for half a million pounds? In a fucking heartbeat, and I'd give some of the money to a charitable cause. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? Lesser of two evils... again... Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? Depends what you mean by "afraid"... do you mean "are you concerned that it might happen?" or do you mean "if it did happen, would it bother you?"
archerman wrote on Tue, 30 September 2008 16:20 Do you believe in the death penalty? according to islam, (there are many aspects to discuss this but i will tell you what i think) God gives you life, and only God can take it away. so, i support every kind of punishment, but not death penalty. according to islam? stop me if I'm wrong, but the qur'an and hadith specifically instruct the death penalty for apostasy, homosexuality and Judaism, none of which are even crimes by any sane definition. archerman wrote on Tue, 30 September 2008 16:20 premarital sex is exteremly forbidden is islam, to protect the family. its also the second reason of why europe is getting older: "family" has been losing its importance since 70's. but anyway, everyone is free to do what they want. not under sharia they're not, and not when a poor helpless girl forcibly suffers islamic circumcision (if there is anything more sickening than this that goes on in the current day and age, it's news to me) archerman wrote on Tue, 30 September 2008 16:20 Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? we shouldnt do it just because alligators are doing it (u heard it right). its another thing that harms the idea of family. its against the nature of man. presumably this is about homosexuality itself, not homosexual marriages. "against the nature of man"? doesn't this rather contradict the idea of intelligent design? if you grant that sexuality is not actually a choice, and if you also happen to believe that we were created from a clot of blood by allah, you can't really argue that it's "against the nature of man" archerman wrote on Tue, 30 September 2008 16:20 Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? screw the others, im an individual of my own. but i can discuss any of my ideas civilly anywhere, anytime. It's rare to find a Muslim who will.
OK, I guess I will reply afterall. Would you do meth if it was legalized? Drugs, alchohol and cigarettes are not in my book. Abortion: for or against it? The issue is too complex. I would think it is OK to carry out the abortion within 3 weeks of conception. Do you think the world would fail with a female president? No, as there are many honorable nations today led by women. But definitely not Palin. Do you believe in the death penalty? No. Criminals still kill. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already? No. Are you for or against premarital sex? Against due to religious reasons. Do you believe in God? Yes, I am Christian. A prophecy was written and Jesus came and fulfilled the prophecy; it could not have been an accident. I would like to talk more about my beliefs but maybe in another thread. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? Let others do as they will but frankly the marriage concept is pushing it. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA? Yes. But much blame rests on the government too. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? No, and the baby should be kept under responsible care till it can be safely returned to the mother. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? Yes. Should the war in Iraq be called off? We are winning this war. Attacks against our soldiers (and Allied forces) have ceased rapidly and are becoming increasingly rare. I read somewhere that the US military is utilizing a secret "kill-program" that very efficiently targets and kills terrorists and thus disable/disrupt their networks. Also, each day Iraqis are learning the ropes of the military. Iraqi pilots/soldiers graduate on a routine basis. It may take some more time but I believe (and hope) this war can be over soon before or by 2010. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? Yes. Do you believe in spanking your children? Yes, but it should be followed up with some sort of verbal lesson too. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? No way man. I can see how tempting million dollars is but no way I can disrespect the blood of many that was shed carrying that flag into battle. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama? I think both are fine. I dislike Obama's social policies. I dislike McCain's very sharp foreign policy. My concern is all for foreign policy in this election. I don't like how the world sees us in a negative light. We have to change that. In Obama we stand a chance of having some sort of positive truce with Venezuela, Iran, and Russia but at the same time his over friendliness to these nations should not let them take more advantage of his leniency. He should not be overly planning to "hug" them as he is doing now. I do not know how he will handle Iran (who are making advanced bomb devices to influence the war in Iraq). McCain's foreign policy is sound but risks the trend our enemies have gone for the past 5-6 years and maybe another cold war with a resurgent Russia. But he seemed to hint at the last debate that he will walk a fine line. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? Won't be bothered. These are only opinions.
Soooo you're against Alcohol but want to make it available to people 18 years old?

I just think it's odd, no offense or anything intended. My opinion on alcohol is besides the fact that I would never drink it, I can recognize the derogatory effects it has on people and the numerous deaths it causes in our country every year. Protecting other people is my reason for being against it. I know from America's previous experience that prohibiting alcohol would never work, but yeah.
u6795 wrote on Mon, 29 September 2008 18:49 Do you think the world would fail with a female president? Not at all. Germany had (might still have, not quite sure) a female chancellor for quite a while, and we're all still here. Alive and ugly as always. But still does a quite good job. So to the question. No. But if I had to choose a president. I would choose a good looking, succesfull male white 40 year old and replace his brain with a remote. For myself gender race whatever is not important in that question. but sadly not for all people.

Alcohol is only dangerous if you abuse it, so to punish me or anybody else for being responsible in alcohol consumption because others may not be is an unjust law.
Aren't there less alcohol related deaths in European countries, which, generally speaking, have less strict alcohol laws?
True, true. I agree, people who drink responsibly and such shouldn't suffer repercussions for those who don't. It's a tricky subject to be honest.
Lowering it to 18 isn't a bad idea- It's not like it's in the hands of an 8 year old suddenly. Most of today's population end up drinking at 18 anyways, and probably get less drunk than most guys at a frat party anyways...
u6795 It's a tricky subject to be honest. It's only tricky if you let your personal convictions get in the way... like gay marriage, prohibition, war on drugs, welfare, gun control, etc... When it comes to public policy, I make up my mind by following specific principles. When it comes to my life, I bow to my personal convictions.

I like alcohol, it's a spiritual thing I do with friends, I like getting drunk and having a laugh, I've never got aggressive or done stupid shit while drunk because I don't let it get to me, however.. other people let the alcohol control them which leads to stupid shit. if you drink responsibly then you'll have a better time anyway. also you should get drunk sometime u6795, If you don't get laid you'll have something to talk about the morning after assuming one of your friends pukes or does something silly. ahh, lager, where would the world be without it?

You've got to see though, I look at it from an entirely different perspective. Aside from being underage, my dad works at a hospital, and I've seen people severely fucked up due to drunk driving and a plethora of other things. It's just a matter of point of view I guess, becuase I see what you guys are saying as well. If you're responsible with it, that's awesome, just stay that way is all I'm going to say.
Oh, I get that just fine. It's just like people who refuse to drink because they see how their family members react to it or something traumatic happened with a friend/family member. The problem is, you're then trying to make public policy out of your personal convictions. I'll quote myself: Quote: It's always easy to argue the way you think things should be based on your personal convictions, but that gets dangerous if you're arguing politics. To try to suggest that your morality is the correct way to go about politics is wrong because everybody has a different view. Instead, I try to keep my morals to myself when I am debating topics like gay marriage, abortion, and welfare. Most people have good intentions and only want what they view is best for the nation, and what they view as best is usually what they hold to be their truths. A lot of neo-conservatives try to argue against homosexuality and gay marriage because they think homosexuality is immoral. A lot of bleeding-heart liberals try to argue in favor of government spending for welfare out of altruism. Doing this creates a problem because they actively ignore the rights of others while catering to their comfort. Instead, I argue based strictly on the rights of the individual. This is why I am in favor of gay marriage much like many liberals, but I am strictly against welfare programs like most conservatives. Siding any other way on these issues is a blatant disrespecting of individual rights. Morality should not be legislated. My opinion of whether or not homosexuality and welfare are moral is irrelevant whether or not these things should be legislated. If I were to view homosexuality as an abomination, that still doesn't change the fact that the act is not harming someone else. As long as the participants are consenting adults, there are no rights being infringed on. If I view charity as an absolute moral responsibility that we have, that does not change the fact that forcing people to give money out of their wages and income to support the welfare program is a blatant infringement of individual rights as I view government spending should be universally applied to every contributor. If we argue rights based principles, then we allow ourselves to keep the veil of ignorance that allows for the least amount of discrimination and the most amount of individual rights without impeding on any other's rights. Anything else you argue starts to discriminate against individuals and groups. By supporting one person's moral agenda, you start to oppress another person's rights. The simplest way to go about this is to uphold the veil of ignorance. TL;DR version: You start to discriminate against people and their rights when you start going by personal convictions. While you may only be trying to do what you truly feel is best for others, you have to allow them to make their own decisions. As long as actions only involve willing participants, there should be no problem in letting people do as they wish, no matter how dangerous. Something should only be illegal when it negatively affects someone who's non-consenting or it involves a minor.

My mum is a nurse, She's still got medical text books around the house with some nasty images in them from heart diseases to kidneys open, rotten livers to heavily infected lungs yet that doesn't change the fact I drink, smoke (though that's only when I'm drinking), in some cases alcohol is good (depending on the brand), contains iron which your blood needs. Alcohol takes months to do any damage if you constantly drink every day, But you are 14 right? so yeah I guess you're not drinking it yet 'cause your still a "kid", once you turn 15 or 16 your view point will change from "not drinking it" to "Party on Friday? I'm there."
I'm replying a little late, and I might have said this already. I'm not against gay civil unions. I am against gay marriage though. I think that civil unions should be worded the exact same way and mean the exact same thing as marriage though. That would pretty much nullify any arguments. "Love the sinner, hate the sin." is how I look at it.
That would still imply that religion owns marriage which is ridiculous because no organization can own a word or a concept. Not to mention that Christianity wouldn't be the religion to own it, anyway. I'm sure the first example of what we would consider to be a "marriage" is from a religion that is dead or very limited in size. Shall we give them the say in who can get married, then? Oh, and I love how Christianity can own marriage, and allow (heterosexual) atheists, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Taoists, Pagans, Wiccans, etc... to get married, but refuse to allow homosexuals. What fucked up logic is that? People who outright deny the existence of your creator, but since they're straight, you don't give a fuck?

If your own religion doesn't like it, your priests don't have to officiate at them. It's none of your damn business otherwise. when you say "love the sinner, hate the sin" what you really mean is "love the sinner, don't allow him to sin". And who says homosexuality is a 'sin'? If there has ever been a moral argument against homosexuality, I have not heard it. But you find it to be a 'sin', so it should be disallowed. Well, if I say Christianity and Islam are 'sins', is that enough to say they shouldn't be allowed? Read the constitution by the way; the church doesn't run the government (at least, it isn't supposed to...)... by all means let a religion decide for itself who their marriages can count for when their own priests are officiating at their own churches. If gay people are excluded, the simple solution is to find a more tolerant and less backward religion, or go one step further and become an atheist.
I don't understand how people can oppose the term 'marriage' for gay unions, when a guy like Ernest Borgnine can be married five fucking times. The institution is a joke, and it has been ruined by heterosexuals. I'm for gay marriage, simply because they might actually improve its track record.
