Because I just haven't posted enough today. (;

[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?

Almost!

[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?

No - I try to avoid drugs in general.

[03] Abortion: for or against it?

...dude, I'm a man. I can't even get pregnant.

[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?

Okay, see, this is the kind of shit - pardon my French - that only ignorant, privileged assholes think is an actual question. The Presidency is a white-collar job - you rise or fall on your smarts, and there has never been any evidence that XX smarts and XY smarts differ measurably.

[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?

No. Killing people is a bad. Paying other people to kill people for you is still a bad. Paying people to kill people for no perceptible benefit ... why even ask?

[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?

Yeah. It's too useful a drug to go nuts over.

[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?

With you? I think not. With someone else? I'll decide as the situation develops.

[08] Do you believe in God?

Hell no. If God existed, I might care, but out here in the real world there's actual useful work to be done.

[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?

Fuck yes. Just scratch the gender provisions altogether. (I'd like multiple marriages legalized, too, once we work out the proper regulatory framework.)

[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?

Are they moving here? I thought most of them came here to earn money to send back to their families.

[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?

Insufficient information.

[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?

Beats me. I thought it was twenty-one for medical reasons, though - what's the current medical consensus on that?

[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?

It shouldn't have been called on to begin with.

[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?

Why should I care, exactly? What matters is that it shouldn't be.

[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?

I don't, but I'm twenty-three - what do I know?

[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?

I'd suspect the bona fides of almost anyone offering me a million dollars to burn an American flag.

[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?

I am ... unlikely to vote for McCain. For many, many reasons, beginning with the fact that he's stone-cold crazy if not actually going senile.

[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?

Bring it on.

12: It's 18 pretty much everywhere else you guys.

These questions are phrased very badly.

Very badly, yes.

Ooh, ooh, I wanna play! I'll have to wait till I get home, though.

I could always just copy and paste most of your answers into my blog. But I could elaborate a bit, I suppose ...

Heh - I almost copy-pasted [livejournal.com profile] happydog's for a lot of these. :D

I agree with you 100% except for #8. I'm still trying to figure that one out. :)

I'm an atheist, and I was angry enough about the earlier stupid questions in this survey that I didn't use my usual mild tone.

(Also, I decided not to perpetuate the usual confusion of reading "believe in God" as "believe that God exists". I'm sorry if that threw you, but I think it is an essential distinction to draw.)

These are "controversial"? Seriously? Dear quiz maker: Get back to me with some questions on cannibalism, child porn and public buttsecks and we'll talk.

Well, OK. I'll admit that question #4 could sure be controversial for the sort of inbred retard that would grunt in the affirmative.

Depends on how much the gypsies are offering.

Ooh! What about bestiality?

(Actually, I'm surprised evolution-vs-creationism didn't show up - it seems to fit the general theme.)
