Purloined from
odanu
Abortion?: Currently I'm against it.
Death Penalty?: Needs to be grizzlier, more painful, and not carried out fifteen stupid years after the motherloving fact.
Prostitution?: Morally opposed, but feel it should be legalized. This would reduce a substantial public health risk and a serious drain on law enforcement resources which could be better served elsewhere.
Alcohol?: I've never understood what was so great about getting drunk.
Marijuana?: Not genuinely harmful enough to warrant it being illegal, but makes otherwise-intelligent people stupid enough that if I could erradicate all of it from the fucking planet this instant I would.
Other drugs?: Sending addicts to prison because they're sick is just idiotic. Put them in treatment and don't let them out until they're clean. Putting drug dealers in prison is idiotic too. People caught dealing should be executed on the spot.
Gay marriage?: Morally against, but legally there is not reason not to allow it.
Illegal immigrants?: It's a sad situation, both for us and the people trying to escape their circumstances in their native land. The only way we could control it any better is with a more thoroughly policed border and that's not happening any time soon.
Smoking?: Disgusting.
Drunk driving?: Felony. Every time. But it also seems to impart immortallity. Seriously, have you ever noticed that a drunk driver can hit an oncoming vehicle head on at 30 mph over the speed limit and kill everyone in it, yet the drunk driver walks away every time without a scratch on them?
Cloning?: I'd be all for cloning organs to help people medically. Cloning who creatures though, that just seems eerie. (And it's probably the only time you'll ever find someone less creeped out by a disembodied organ than by an entire organism.)
Racism?: I am only a racist toward Canada. They're all alike with their flapping heads and their beady eyes... ;)
Premarital sex?: Like nearly all Christians, I got sold a bill of goods growing up about how the instant you have premarital sex your whole world will come crashing down and your relationship with God will be destroyed. Here's the real skinny: two people expressing genuine love and caring for one another is not sinful. Using other people selfishly, that is sinful. I no longer believe God punishes people for doing what He made natural for them to do. Like all good things, it's been perverted and can be destructive. But on it's own, no it is not destructive in and of itself.
Religion?: A nice idea. Too bad it's never been tried...
The war in Iraq?: *Sings the Jailhouse Tango from Chicago.* "He had it comin'/ He had it comin'..." Unfortunately, now that the Bad Guy is taken care of we find ourselves facing a whole new crop of Bad Guys we weren't ready for. It's a horrible situation that our leaders were foolish and arrogant not to foresee. Unfortunately, we can't walk away now, because then they win.
Bush?: He does the right things the wrong way and sometimes, for the wrong reasons. He's a dangerous man, but probably less dangerous than John Kerry.
Downloading music?: Thieves go to hell where they are punished in vast amounts of extreme pain for all eternity.
The legal drinking age?: What a joke. If someone is old enough to be sent overseas and shot at then they're old enough to have a good stiff drink.
Porn?: I prefer erotica. I want naked people to be happy, not used.
Suicide?: Been there, almost done that, can sympathize with the pain of those who think about it. But I walked away from it and so can they.
