Michael Stumpf said:Now for my own addition to the list. I am not that fond of democracy. Too many idiots get to vote, and the only thing worse than them are the people they elect. Still, a benevolent dictatorship being unlikely, I am not willing to give democracy up, unless I am the dictator.
jtfortin said:Women on welfare should be required to take birth control. I would argue the same for men but there is no "pill" or "patch" for men...if one is invented, it should also be required. You can hand out all the condoms you want, there is no guarantee that they will use them. I would say that vasectomys would be appropriate, but they are difficult to reverse.

nerudite said:Genetics -- As PG said: "I think everyone is born who they are, sexuality, gender, gender identification etc are not made but born and that there are 7 different genders *by chromosomes*." I second this!
nerudite said:While I'm on the subject of voting... I'm not keen on the electoral college. I think it's time is up. There have been numerous times where an electoral vote was either used for a different candidate in the same election or for a write-in candidate, as well as the numerous times candidates have won the popular vote but not the electoral vote. I say give everyone the same opportunity to have their vote mean something.

Umm, slightly OT, and not being up on my genetics, what are the seven?

Have to disagree with you on that one, Nerudite. I'll go to war to keep the Electoral College. It prevents sectional candidates from winning - plain and simple. I bet everybody would appreciate it more if, say, in 2004 David Duke won every eligible vote in the South, and a scant 5% everywhere else, but was still President by virtue of winning the "popular vote."
I guess another unorthodox view I hold is that it's GOOD we don't live in a pure democracy.

Planderella said:The Roman Catholic Church/Vatican needs to wake up and get with the times. Their doctrine is incredibly outdated - I'm willing to bet that 90-95% of today's Catholics have broken SEVERAL of those doctrines and are going straight to hell (by Vatican standards) because of it. I'm incredibly pissed that the Vatican refuses to believe and/or acknowledge the fact that some of their beloved men of the cloth are capable of sexually molesting their parishioners (especially the children).
Like I already said, it's not so much the whole immigration issue, but the fact that there are those people that don't appreciate the ability to be here, and they take advantage of it. It's the jackasses that drive around in the high dollar SUV's, acting like their crap don't stink, being rude to everyone around them, and act like we owe them something. They get pissed because we don't understand what the heck they are saying. I think it takes big cahones and is extremely disrespectful to move to some country and not attempt to learn their language. When you are in another country, YOU (not *you* but you know what I mean) need to adapt, not make them adapt to you. I feel strongly about this...if your going to be here, learn to speak our language.Maybe its not so much immigration I have a problem with, but the yahoos that come to this country and take advantage of it. Won't learn to speak the language, won't learn to drive, won't learn to respect those that are proud to be here.
That should be the next pollWhich would you prefer-macaroni salad and hamburgers carne asada and good Thai food
