nounsandverbs!
[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
None of these questions are that controversial, come on. But sure.
[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
Gods no. I've watched Intervention a few too many times, thanks. I'll stick with the occasional NOS.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
In general? Absolutely for 100%. The option should be out there.
For me? I'm past the state of being/time of life where having a child would devastate my world more than the abortion would. So no, not for me at this point.
[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
No. Gender has nothing to do with it, it's all about who is up there not what they do or not have dangling off their fronts.
[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
If individuals don't have the right to take a life, why should the government?
[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Honestly I think all drugs should be legalized and taxed like hell. Revenue for the win, and also I'm a big proponent of if you're over 18 you should have the right to fuck up your life in however fashion you want as long as you're not hurting anyone else. And nounsandverbs said it best... the legal system has far better things to do than to hunt down every kid with a dime bag.
[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
For. I've never understood that whole sex before marriage BAD thing.
[08] Do you believe in God?
In a nebulous, generalized not really committed sort of way.
[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
I don't believe in "legal" marriage.
[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Wow, the racism inherent in that question. No. No I don't.
[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
It really would depend on the 12 year old, the family situation and the circumstances of the pregnancy. There's no black or white answer here.
[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
I'm a big fan of how they do it in Japan - you get everything at 20. Voting rights, permission to drink, ability to enlist in the army... not sure about drivers licenses. I always found it stupid that you reach the age of majority three years before they let you have alcohol, but I also think 18 is too young for a lot of the other shit. That and the "drinking age" can be circumvented in most states if you have a military ID.
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
Well, the obvious answer would be it should never have happened, but at this point yeah, but it needs to be done correctly.
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
See my answer on the death penalty.
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
Yep. Not with anything but the hand and on anyplace but the ass and probably not past age 5 or so, but sometimes there is no other way to make a kid sit up and act right.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Only if I could do it with no observers. I don't personally care about the flag, and these days my faith in what it stands for is seriously bruised, but I know some people take that shit seriously so I wouldn't do it on the Capitol steps or anything.
[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
Honestly? Both of them run a very serious risk of not surviving office.
That said? I'm voting for Obama. McCain/Palin terrifies me.
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Nah. Most of y'all already know where I stand on most of this anyway.
