Stolen from ~Lock-of-Hyrule, because I can't resist a good soapbox.

[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
Ur... yes. I've never been shy about this stuff.

[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
Why? I've never had any urge to dabble in recreational drugs before now, legalisation wouldn't change that.

[03] Abortion: for or against it?
For. I realise it's a vague line between when something is human and when it isn't, but no way of judging that difference has even close to the validity of the one we use right now. Besides, it has been extremely well demonstrated that a woman knows when she should not have a child. If it became necessary tomorrow, I would do it without shame.

[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
First of all, world president? LAWL. Secondly, of course the fuck not, unless she was only elected because she was female. Did England or New Zealand spontaneously implode when they had female Prime Ministers? What a dumb question.

[05] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Probably yes. I don't really care, but it hasn't exactly destroyed moral fibre in the countries where it is legal, so what the fuck. Let people have it, they're gonna get it one way or another if they want it.

[06] Are you for or against premarital sex?
I am against people basing their physical relationship around a legal or social contract. I am against sex without love and commitment, but that is not the same thing as marriage. I you have a loving and committed relationship, marriage is nothing but a legal technicality.

[07] Do you believe in God?
Which God? Wait, it doesn't matter, I'm just making fun of you for acting like there's only one.

I do not believe in the existence of any deity. Furthermore, as a moral, skeptical humanist, I am appalled by the petty, jealous, misogynistic, racist arseholes we have created to be our deities, and even if they were proved to be real tomorrow, I would still tell them to shove it. Such characters are demeaning to the nobility of the human condition.

[8] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Gee, I don't know, what's your viewpoint on Boat People? Hah. I didn't think so.

Wrong for them to be moving there illegally? Yes. Understandable in the circumstances? Well, yes, probably that also. It's just freakin' sad that they feel the prospects are better in a shitty below-minimum-wage job where they have to live in fear of legal attention. And that they may well be right.

[09] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
Almost certainly not. I don't think it's 100% impossible for a twelve-year-old to raise a child well, but the odds against it are astronomical. It's probably better for the baby if it's adopted.

[10] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
Lowered to 18? Pfft. Stop acting like America (your state, even?) is the whole world, loser.

[11] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
I don't have the sociopolitical knowledge to give a definite answer. Assuming you're talking about the American war that resulted from Bush and 911, I'm inclined to say yes because it was based on lies and fearmongering, and America can't just tromp around being World Police... but as usual the humanist part of me is torn by the idea that holy fuck, the way those people treat each other to begin with is atrocious, can the foreigners really be making it that much worse? It's kind of a "fucked either way" situation.

So I really can't say. I am, however, selfishly glad my country pulled out, so I guess I lean toward "yes, cut your losses and get the fuck out of there before more people die".

[12] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
Do I agree that it is illegal? Fuck, you need to get your brain out of one country. It's illegal in some places, legal in others, and that is a fact that "agree" or "disagree" doesn't enter into.

Do I think it should be illegal? No. We let our pets die with dignity, and I would wish the same thing for myself if it came down to it.

[13] Do you believe in spanking your children?
Depends on the situation. Different methods work for different parents and different children. On Talen's behalf I have to say some morons overdo it, mind you, but that's just a question of being poor parents. It's not about a single issue.

I do, however, think there is something wrong about you if you think all children must be spanked. And I would say I am definitively against the rather disturbing, ritualistic spanking that old-fashioned conservative types endorse. That shit is just creepy.

[14] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Million dollars? Holy shit yes. Hell, I'd burn an American flag for a fiver and a Pepsi. It's just a sodding piece of cloth. It's not even my flag (once again, invisble dumbass quiz person - some people live in OTHER FREAKIN COUNTRIES >_<;;; ).

[15] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Afraid? What are we to be judged by, if not by our moral and social opinions? Where did we even get this idea that judgement is bad?

I SHOULD be judged by my answers, and I'm proud of the person my answers portray! If people don't like that, they've no business being my friend/acquaintance/fan/random crack watcher/whatever.

Oh man, this journal was pretty entertaining! The pseudo-intellectuality expressed within this journal though was as sharp as the people here that have commented, I'm not even sure if they've even read this through!

Anyways, bravo, I might copy the format and fill out the questionnaire!
