Lots of statements to answer

[Ebowed]

Please respond to the following statements with "Agree," "Neutral," or "Disagree."  (You can also explain your answers if you have lots of spare time on your hands. )

Statement 3 is based off of Al Sharpton's 2004 Democratic platform.  He also expressed that he wanted to make voting a human right.

For Statement 11, answering Agree does not mean that you would ban birth control; it just states that you believe it to be immoral.

All of these are statements I wrote myself; I tried to put an equal balance of conservative and liberal statements.  Into the late 20's, I put in a few statements about religion and philosophy.

1.) "Two consenting adults should, if they so desire, be able to participate in a death match."

2.) "Nobody automatically possesses human rights; they are only given or protected by the government."

3.) "Recieving an education should be a human right."

4.) "Anyone who abuses children or makes child pornography deserves life in prison without parole."

5.) "The government should provide funding for consenting AIDS patients who wish to be euthanized."

6.) "It's wrong for the government to ban incest, but abortion should always remain available for incest-related pregnancies."

7.) "When we are at war, we should try our best to kill as little human life as possible."

8.) "Community service should be a requirement for all high school students in order to graduate."

9.) "Nobody can really be transgendered; it's a deliberate choice."

10.) "Human cloning should be banned because dozens of potential test embryos would die in the process."

11.) "Birth control is immoral because it encourages pre-marital sex."

12.) "The current society framework which makes a college education a requirement to get a decent job is unfair and impractical."

13.) "Harry Truman may have shortened the war by dropping the atomic bomb, but in general such a weapon should never be used."

14.) "It would be more efficient to use solar power instead of petroleum for our cars and buses."

15.) "Racial busing is a form of racism."

16.) "If two people with the same qualifications apply for a job, but one is a man and the other is a woman, the woman should automatically get the job."

17.) "Background checks at gun shows are a minor but helpful way of protecting gun ownership and display while protecting the public."

18.) "If some medical procedures recieve federal funding, abortion should too.  Since abortion is only for women, denying it federal funding is sexist."

19.) "Unborn women should have just as many rights as born women; unborn men should have just as many rights as born men."

20.) "Interracial marriage is comparable to homosexual marriage."

21.) "Divorced people should not be able to remarry."

22.) "The government should not be allowed to look at civilians' library records, credit card history, or other sensitive information."

23.) "The income tax is an invasion of privacy."

24.) "The age for elligibility for capital punishment should be lowered to 14 years of age."

25.) "If a man and three women agree to enter one marriage, the government should not stop them."

26.) "The natural selection and evolution theories are inherently racist because they say that some types of humans evolved from apes before others did."

27.) "The Bible, the Koran, and other holy books can be reconsiled.  All religions are equal; they are just different paths to God."

28.) "It doesn't matter what you believe so long as you're sincere."

29.) "Good works are necessary for salvation."

30.) "If the Bible is read to public school students in Georgia, it should follow that the Book of Mormon is read to public school students in Utah."

31.) "There should be a constitutional amendment that protects strip clubs."

32.) "People who are vegetarians for health reasons are fine, but the animal rights people are being ridiculous."

33.) "The actions of the 9/11 terrorists were not evil; they were natural and possibly biologically influenced actions that are part of a cycle of natural selection."

34.) "While there are exceptions, most homosexuals are perverted, hateful of heterosexuals and religious people, and are trying to spread pro-gay propaganda."

35.) "We should abolish the public school system altogether."

Agree

2.) "Nobody automatically possesses human rights; they are only given or protected by the government."

Disagree

Disagree. I know not of ANY path to God.

28.) "It doesn't matter what you believe so long as you're sincere."

Disagree. If I sincerely believe that the earth is flat, that doesn't make me any less stupid. Actually, it would make me more stupid.

29.) "Good works are necessary for salvation."

Who needs salvation? What do I need to be saved from?

30.) "If the Bible is read to public school students in Georgia, it should follow that the Book of Mormon is read to public school students in Utah."

Sure. They're both nonsense as far as I'm concerned. Replacing one form of nonsense for another isn't good or bad.

31.) "There should be a constitutional amendment that protects strip clubs."

Disagree. Strip clubs get along just fine without an amendment.

32.) "People who are vegetarians for health reasons are fine, but the animal rights people are being ridiculous."

All vegetarians are being ridiculous.

[Frodo]

1.) "Two consenting adults should, if they so desire, be able to participate in a death match."

no opinion

2.) "Nobody automatically possesses human rights; they are only given or protected by the government."

disagree

3.) "Recieving an education should be a human right."

agree

4.) "Anyone who abuses children or makes child pornography deserves life in prison without parole."

agree

5.) "The government should provide funding for consenting AIDS patients who wish to be euthanized."

agree

6.) "It's wrong for the government to ban incest, but abortion should always remain available for incest-related pregnancies."

i'm not answering this loaded question

7.) "When we are at war, we should try our best to kill as little human life as possible."

agree

8.) "Community service should be a requirement for all high school students in order to graduate."

disagree -but it should be strongly encouraged

9.) "Nobody can really be transgendered; it's a deliberate choice."

i agree and disagree.  while it is possible for peope to change their gender through an operation, this question cannot be extended to those who are homosexuals or bisexuals, or to those who were born as hermaphrodites.

10.) "Human cloning should be banned because dozens of potential test embryos would die in the process."

disagree

11.) "Birth control is immoral because it encourages pre-marital sex."

disagree -girls have as much right as boys to fool around

12.) "The current society framework which makes a college education a requirement to get a decent job is unfair and impractical."

agree to a point -with college tuition having gone up over the past several decades as state funding has gone down, it is harder for working class kids to get into college even if they are qualified to enter them by no other reason other than it is too expensive.  it is also unfair to saddle college students with debt through student loans that they have to spend much of their lives to repay.

13.) "Harry Truman may have shortened the war by dropping the atomic bomb, but in general such a weapon should never be used."

disagree -the Japanese had to be made to understand the full consequences of their aggression towards others, and to respect the full might and power of the United States, and its ability to wipe them off the face of this earth.  it is better that hundreds of thousands of Japanese were killed or maimed than for an equivalent number of Americans storming the beaches of the home islands.  as Sherman said, war is hell, and it is our duty to bring that hell to the citizenry who brought that war upon themselves with the attack on Pearl Harbor so they may never again desire it.

14.) "It would be more efficient to use solar power instead of petroleum for our cars and buses."

agree

15.) "Racial busing is a form of racism."

agree

16.) "If two people with the same qualifications apply for a job, but one is a man and the other is a woman, the woman should automatically get the job."

disagree

17.) "Background checks at gun shows are a minor but helpful way of protecting gun ownership and display while protecting the public."

agree

18.) "If some medical procedures recieve federal funding, abortion should too.  Since abortion is only for women, denying it federal funding is sexist."

agree -it should be kept in mind that even if abortion is banned legally, women from affluent backgrounds will still have access to having safe, clean abortions, while those who are poorer have to bear the full brunt of these laws.  not only is it sexist, it is also economically discriminatory.

19.) "Unborn women should have just as many rights as born women; unborn men should have just as many rights as born men."

more or less agree

20.) "Interracial marriage is comparable to homosexual marriage."

as this strikes home for me, i most definitely agree

21.) "Divorced people should not be able to remarry."

disagree

22.) "The government should not be allowed to look at civilians' library records, credit card history, or other sensitive information."

disagree, though only if it does not have a search warrant with which to search these files.

23.) "The income tax is an invasion of privacy."

disagree

24.) "The age for elligibility for capital punishment should be lowered to 14 years of age."

disagree

25.) "If a man and three women agree to enter one marriage, the government should not stop them."

disagree

26.) "The natural selection and evolution theories are inherently racist because they say that some types of humans evolved from apes before others did."

WTF?

27.) "The Bible, the Koran, and other holy books can be reconsiled.  All religions are equal; they are just different paths to God."

i could not agree more

28.) "It doesn't matter what you believe so long as you're sincere."

agree

29.) "Good works are necessary for salvation."

agree -the Good Samaritan parable comes to mind here

30.) "If the Bible is read to public school students in Georgia, it should follow that the Book of Mormon is read to public school students in Utah."

agree -it would only be fair

31.) "There should be a constitutional amendment that protects strip clubs."

there is one already -the First Amendment

32.) "People who are vegetarians for health reasons are fine, but the animal rights people are being ridiculous."

disagree -granted, animal rights activists do tend to go off to ridiculous extremes (and what political movement doesn't, on either the right or the left?), but they do have a just cause so long as people continue to mistreat their animals and raising them in hellish conditions unfit for a human being

33.) "The actions of the 9/11 terrorists were not evil; they were natural and possibly biologically influenced actions that are part of a cycle of natural selection."

WTF? disagree

34.) "While there are exceptions, most homosexuals are perverted, hateful of heterosexuals and religious people, and are trying to spread pro-gay propaganda."

disagree

35.) "We should abolish the public school system altogether."

disagree

[Ebowed]

I suppose I should answer my own questions.

1.) "Two consenting adults should, if they so desire, be able to participate in a death match." - Disagree; there are way too many problems with this.  What if one of the people changes their mind in the middle of the fight?  What if the winner doesn't actually kill the person, but he's injured?  Who pays for the hospitalization?

2.) "Nobody automatically possesses human rights; they are only given or protected by the government." - Neutral

3.) "Recieving an education should be a human right." - Disagree

4.) "Anyone who abuses children or makes child pornography deserves life in prison without parole." - Agree, these people deserve to be castrated too

5.) "The government should provide funding for consenting AIDS patients who wish to be euthanized." - Disagree

6.) "It's wrong for the government to ban incest, but abortion should always remain available for incest-related pregnancies." - Disagree

7.) "When we are at war, we should try our best to kill as little human life as possible." - Agree

8.) "Community service should be a requirement for all high school students in order to graduate." - Disagree, it's a fascist requirement

9.) "Nobody can really be transgendered; it's a deliberate choice." - Agree

10.) "Human cloning should be banned because dozens of potential test embryos would die in the process." - Agree, but that's only one reason

11.) "Birth control is immoral because it encourages pre-marital sex." - Agree

12.) "The current society framework which makes a college education a requirement to get a decent job is unfair and impractical." - Agree

13.) "Harry Truman may have shortened the war by dropping the atomic bomb, but in general such a weapon should never be used." - Agree

14.) "It would be more efficient to use solar power instead of petroleum for our cars and buses." - Neutral

15.) "Racial busing is a form of racism." - Agree

16.) "If two people with the same qualifications apply for a job, but one is a man and the other is a woman, the woman should automatically get the job." - Disagree, this is about as sexist as it gets

17.) "Background checks at gun shows are a minor but helpful way of protecting gun ownership and display while protecting the public." - Agree

18.) "If some medical procedures recieve federal funding, abortion should too.  Since abortion is only for women, denying it federal funding is sexist." - Disagree, screw the Equal Rights Amendment

19.) "Unborn women should have just as many rights as born women; unborn men should have just as many rights as born men." - Agree

20.) "Interracial marriage is comparable to homosexual marriage." - Agree in the sense that a lot of people who opposed interracial marriage also oppose gay marriage, but not for the same reasons

21.) "Divorced people should not be able to remarry." - Disagree

22.) "The government should not be allowed to look at civilians' library records, credit card history, or other sensitive information." - Agree

23.) "The income tax is an invasion of privacy." - Agree, but it would be hard to get rid of it

24.) "The age for elligibility for capital punishment should be lowered to 14 years of age." - Disagree; I'd agree if I favored the death penalty because minors are certainly able to differentiate right and wrong

25.) "If a man and three women agree to enter one marriage, the government should not stop them." - Disagree

26.) "The natural selection and evolution theories are inherently racist because they say that some types of humans evolved from apes before others did." - Neutral.  To an extent this may be true because the Australian Aborigines, said to have come around 40,000 years ago, were treated as half-man half-apes in the early 1900s.  Same goes with the Pygmies

27.) "The Bible, the Koran, and other holy books can be reconsiled.  All religions are equal; they are just different paths to God." - Disagree, contradictions can't be reconsiled

28.) "It doesn't matter what you believe so long as you're sincere." - Disagree, the 9/11 terrorists sincerely believed they were performing Allah's will

29.) "Good works are necessary for salvation." - Disagree.  No religion tells you how many works are necessary!  The only one that doesn't require good works is Christianity, and even then many sects say that good works are necessary for salvation, not for heavenly rewards

30.) "If the Bible is read to public school students in Georgia, it should follow that the Book of Mormon is read to public school students in Utah." - Agree

31.) "There should be a constitutional amendment that protects strip clubs." - Neutral; see the 1st amendment

33.) "The actions of the 9/11 terrorists were not evil; they were natural and possibly biologically influenced actions that are part of a cycle of natural selection." - Disagree

34.) "While there are exceptions, most homosexuals are perverted, hateful of heterosexuals and religious people, and are trying to spread pro-gay propaganda." - Disagree

35.) "We should abolish the public school system altogether." - Disagree; it'd be nice but it would require a complete reform of the government

[A18]

The 1st amendment does not protect strip clubs. Quit repeating such utter idiocy.

[falling apart like the ashes of American flags]

While I agree the first amendment does protect strip clubs, many states and municipalities aren't follwing it nad for some reason courts aren't striking down their disgusting unconstitutional restrictions on things like lap dances and how naked strippers can get. So I favor an amendment to make it clear.

[A18]

For "some reason" like them not being quite that ing stupid. Find me anything in the history of the first amendment that indicates it covers strip clubs, in any way, shape, matter, or form.

Agree; except for very special cases, WMDs have no place in warfare.

14.) "It would be more efficient to use solar power instead of petroleum for our cars and buses."

[Citizen James]

1.) "Two consenting adults should, if they so desire, be able to participate in a death match." - Only in Nevada and Atlantic City - Well, ok, boxing technically doesn't a death match, though serious bodily injury including brain damage and potential death are potential side effects, and inflicting harm is part of the sport.  I suppose it could also be a loophole in assisted suicide...

2.) "Nobody automatically possesses human rights; they are only given or protected by the government." - Vague Everyone deserves basic human rights, but government needs to uphold them (while not violating them themselves).

3.) "Recieving an education should be a human right." - Agree  Freedom of the press is great.  Having a literate population which can read at an advanced level helps to maximize the usefullness of this right.

4.) "Anyone who abuses children or makes child pornography deserves life in prison without parole." - Disagree/Agree, Child abuse is a rather wide catagory - ranging from (by some interperetations) a swat of corporal punishment to regular beatings and rape.  The former might just benefit from some parenting classes, the later deserves to rot in some hellhole.  The pornographers deserve at best life in prision, at worst death (slow and painful would be preferable, even if not constitutional).

5.) "The government should provide funding for consenting AIDS patients who wish to be euthanized." - Disagree I don't like the way that question is raised.  Assisted suicide perhaps, if their quality of life is bad; but a general government program sounds a bit too much like someone or other's "final solution"

6.) "It's wrong for the government to ban incest, but abortion should always remain available for incest-related pregnancies." - Disagree  A very strange question.  I think it's right for the government to ban incest.

7.) "When we are at war, we should try our best to kill as little human life as possible." - Agree, if practical

8.) "Community service should be a requirement for all high school students in order to graduate." - Disagree A great way to convince kids that vollenteer work is a punishment and should be avoided.

9.) "Nobody can really be transgendered; it's a deliberate choice." - No idea

10.) "Human cloning should be banned because dozens of potential test embryos would die in the process." - Agree Except when occuring naturally.  Artificial cloning should be banned.

11.) "Birth control is immoral because it encourages pre-marital sex." - Disagree Just because a couple is maried doesn't mean they want (or can afford) half a dozen kids.

12.) "The current society framework which makes a college education a requirement to get a decent job is unfair and impractical." - Disagree

13.) "Harry Truman may have shortened the war by dropping the atomic bomb, but in general such a weapon should never be used." - Agree

14.) "It would be more efficient to use solar power instead of petroleum for our cars and buses." - Not at this time Exactly how much land would we have to cover to generate that much electricity?  I wouldn't mind an extention of clean sources to supplement power generation, nor expanding nuclear plants while researching how to decrease/make less harmful the leftover waste.  And I certainly would approve of more research into alternative power sources, but right now solar alone just doens't provide sufficent wattage.

15.) "Racial busing is a form of racism." - Neutral

16.) "If two people with the same qualifications apply for a job, but one is a man and the other is a woman, the woman should automatically get the job." - Disagree

17.) "Background checks at gun shows are a minor but helpful way of protecting gun ownership and display while protecting the public." - Agree

18.) "If some medical procedures recieve federal funding, abortion should too.  Since abortion is only for women, denying it federal funding is sexist." - Unclear

19.) "Unborn women should have just as many rights as born women; unborn men should have just as many rights as born men." - Disagree Should every sperm be considered sacred as well.

20.) "Interracial marriage is comparable to homosexual marriage." - Agree

21.) "Divorced people should not be able to remarry." - Disagree

22.) "The government should not be allowed to look at civilians' library records, credit card history, or other sensitive information." - vague Only with a warrant

23.) "The income tax is an invasion of privacy." - Disagree  Kind of an odd juxtoposition here.  Many of the people who oppose the income tax do not beleive in a constitutional right to privacy.

24.) "The age for elligibility for capital punishment should be lowered to 14 years of age." - Disagree Though I might approve of it for corporate executives who cause death because they actively chose to ignore safety laws.

25.) "If a man and three women agree to enter one marriage, the government should not stop them." - Disagree

26.) "The natural selection and evolution theories are inherently racist because they say that some types of humans evolved from apes before others did." - Disagree.   I don't see those claims in any theories I've seen, Unless you're talking about dead lines of human ancestors (such as 'hobbits' ) 

27.) "The Bible, the Koran, and other holy books can be reconsiled.  All religions are equal; they are just different paths to God." - Disagree, sort of They contradict even themselves.  Some good can be found from most holy texts though, such as the concept of the ethic of reciprocity, commonly called the golden rule.

28.) "It doesn't matter what you believe so long as you're sincere." - Disagree, sort of  I'm willing to let people beleive whatever they want, even if I find some of those beleifs offensive.  I suppose being offensive would count as mattering.  Plus, there's the far messier matter of people acting on those beliefs.

29.) "Good works are necessary for salvation." - Disagree I'm a universalist.  Good works are a good idea though.

30.) "If the Bible is read to public school students in Georgia, it should follow that the Book of Mormon is read to public school students in Utah." - Neither Religious texts belong in churches.

31.) "There should be a constitutional amendment that protects strip clubs." - disagree wtf? 

32.) "People who are vegetarians for health reasons are fine, but the animal rights people are being ridiculous." - Disagree They're just a different sort of pro-lifer's.

33.) "The actions of the 9/11 terrorists were not evil; they were natural and possibly biologically influenced actions that are part of a cycle of natural selection." - Disagree.  That's got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

34.) "While there are exceptions, most homosexuals are perverted, hateful of heterosexuals and religious people, and are trying to spread pro-gay propaganda." - Disagree  Not quite as dumb as the previous one, but dumb nonetheless.

35.) "We should abolish the public school system altogether." - Disagree

In the long run, obviously yes.

Technically yes.

19.) "Unborn women should have just as many rights as born women; unborn men should have just as many rights as born men."

Uncertain.

Not really, so disagree. However, i think both should be legal.

21.) "Divorced people should not be able to remarry."

Disagree.
