droidguy1119: THE CONTROVERSIAL SURVEY
Otherwise known as Trinity tells you what you already knew from reading her rants, only this time in convenient, Q+A format with shorter answers! Win!
The Controversial Survey!
01. Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as the Controversial Survey?
Sure, whatever floats your boat, anonymous interwebs meme!
02. Would you do meth if it was legalized?
I believe you mean "if it were legalized." And the answer is Fuck. No. If I'm going to shoot my brain through with holes, I better have the zombie virus and be doing the only right thing to do when that happens.
03. Abortion: for or against it?
Ah, what a great way to frame that. No one is for abortion. I'm for it being legal, but I'd prefer it only ever had to happen because of completely understandable fuck-ups with contraception or to save lives/health.
04. Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
Her sex is irrelevant. If she's good at her job, then no. If she's Sarah Palin, then yes.
05. Do you believe in the death penalty?
Yes. I wish I could say no, but there are some people who just aren't ever going to be worth saving. Mass murderers, serial killers, et al. are determined, repeat offenders, so why should we waste tax dollars on keeping them alive. Lethal injection is more human than anything they've ever doled out. That's good enough for me. Doesn't mean I support it being used more than infrequently.
06. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
No. It should remain illegal mostly so that usage is kept to a minimum, but no one should go to jail for using. Selling, maybe.
07. Are you for or against premarital sex?
I'm for letting everyone have the right to choose for themselves without being made to feel guilty for it, one way or another. No more slut/prude dynamic, please.
08. Do you believe in God?
In my weaker moments, maybe. I did used to. Nowadays, I'm pretty sure I don't. I'd like to think there was a God, but I don't have the capacity for self-delusion enough to say with any certainty there is one.
09. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
Fuck yes. Let the gays spend money on getting married and get some goddamned tax breaks. They, as much as anyone, need it in this economy.
10. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Don't you know that it's the bloody Irish we need to be worrying about? Oh, no wait, the Chinamen! Point is, Hispanics are only this century's immigrant bogeyman. Back off, racists. They tend to stay out of trouble and are better tax payers than a lot of citizens. I have no problem with those people.
11. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
That's her decision. She probably can't, legally, supervise it entirely on her own, but if she wants to raise it, that's her choice. This sounds like a "gotcha" question, but it's personal. I have a close relation who had a baby at thirteen. This shit happens.
12. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
What, and deny serious drinkers beverages aged 18+? Ugh, these questions and their phrasing. Should the legal age at which one may purchase alcohol be lowered to 18? I don't see why not. The draft age should have to go up, though. No way anyone should be taken to fight and die without the chance to legally get drunk and screw. And maybe the full driver's license should be restricted to 21+, just to avoid the confluence of boozing and driving at 18. (Conditional licenses/permits would cover the intervening years--and maybe encourage mass transit, which is good for the planet.)
13. Should the war in Iraq be called off?
Car! Game on! The war in Iraq should never have been started. It needs to end as soon as it is possible to do so without throwing the country into utter chaos. (A little chaos would still be better than a lot of what we've let happen.)
14. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
I do agree that it is illegal; I disagree that it should be. (Stupid wordings!) As long as people are capable of proving they request euthanasia of their own will and are in sound mind, they get to make the call. We need to get over the fear of death in this country and start accepting that quality of life is more important.
15. Do you believe in spanking your children?
I couldn't. I've seen too many people smack their children in public and it doesn't do a lick of good that I've seen. Plus, I'm not gentle enough to know my own strength. I'd be terrified of hurting the child accidentally. Also, omfg never having children.
16. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Yes. We've been pretty good about chopping it up and feeding it to whoever has the money to pay us to do it, so why not just burn it and cut out the subservience to the rich and make some money off it?
17. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
Obama.
18. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
I worry about offending people because I have strong convictions and don't apologize for how I let them loose on the world. But no, I'm not afraid of anyone judging me from it. They should: these are my honest answers and they reflect truthfully on my character. Of course, I can now never run for public office, what with the flag-burning and the non-believing, but that was true before I answered this, so no harm there either.
No surprises there, I think.
