I am a bit behind .. but hey, this one looked good !
1. Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
* UMMM, Yes. Duh. I am - aren't I ?!
2. Would you do meth if it was legalized?
*** Legal or not, I wouldn't use it. But I will tell the truth I have an aunt an cousins that use meth and heroin and I have thought about it before.
3. Abortion: for or against it?
*** Oh, this can be a tough one. But for myself ... it is against it. I think it is or should be up to the individual and thier decision. They have to be the one to answer for thier choices and live with it. When I was 16 and got pregnant with Jordan - I did think about it for a split second, but to me; it always felt like I would be killing someone. I had made the choice to have sex, so it is my responsibility to live with that.
4. Do you think the world would fail with a female president? *** Hard to say actually. But I am pretty old fashioned ... I think a woman needs to stay in the house and rasie the kids better. Just my opinion. (Cuz guys suck at raising kids - lets face it)
5. Do you believe in the death penalty?
*** UMMM, sorry. NO I DO NOT. I hate this idea. I know I have never been in the postion to actually have to forgive someone who had done something horrific to a family member or friend, but I do believe that the death penalty is murder all the same. God has not chosen that persons time to go - whether we like it or not. But we don't always get to choose what we like. anyway - I would like to think forgiveness would be the way to go - even tho I am quite sure it would be hard.
6. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
*** HAHA .. I know my Aunt does. But me ? No.. I really could care less. I have never even seen any, so makes no differance to me.
7. Are you for or against premarital sex?
*** Um ... is this a trick question ? Because I would actually say against .... knowing what I know now. bUt yet, I did it. I was 16. I was not at all ready looking back. I think it IS a good idea to wait, I hope that my children do and if feeling this way makes me a hypocrite - then so be it.
8. Do you believe in God?
*** I do believe in God. Right now, I am just at a stand still .. I have things I don't understand and questions... I think every one must from time to time.
9. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
*** Yea ... whatever - don't bug me none. I have alot of same sex friends... and if they are happy, so am I !
10. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
*** Yes, I do !
11. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
*** NO !!
Sorry, but at 16 - I was no where near ready, I wasn't truly ready till past 30 and now I am too old for this shit. No way do I think a 12 year old is ready ... but yet on the other hand if she thinks she is old enough to ACT like an adult and wants to play house, then maybe the responsibility should be hers.
Ok, ok ... sorry - touchy subject.
12. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
*** Well, I kinda do agree with it. Here in Wisconsin the kids can drink with the parents ... right in the bar... so WTH ? I mean they are going to do it anyway - especially if you tell them not to - duh, they are teens. They *THINK* they know everything. Besides, we have military members who go off and fight for our country at a younger age sometimes, and they should be atleast able to get a drink.
I think if the parents try to teach the kids about the responsibilities of drinking then perhaps it wouldn't be an issue... but when the parents are drunk isn't the time to teach them.
13. Should the war in Iraq be called off?
*** OK... SERIOUSLY ..... I am still with the idea that we should have just NUKED thier asses right after 9/11. This is horse shit ... all the money our counrty spends on that when people are TRULY in NEEEED of it here. I think they should have done what our grandparents did and blew the shit out of them ..no goofing off, no pussy footing ... just do it !
14. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
*** Yes, I agree.
15. Do you believe in spanking your children?
*** Yes I have to say I do! Every now and then they need a spanking, mine do anyhow. I don't BEAT my kids but I will spank their butt if they get out of control!
16. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
*** NO !
17. Who do you think would make a better president?
*** Rudy Guliani !!!!! - really tho ---- > DON'T CARE - DON'T VOTE.
19. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
*** EH --- whatever. If you do, you do - then too bad for you.
You crack me up. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, my kids need a good thump on the butt now and then. I am totally with ya.
Just dropped by and if you don't mind. . . I'm going to borrow this!
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Um....I take offense to this declaration. I understand that it's your opinion and point of view which your entitled to....but do you really want to put that out there? Even if you're joking....that's just not right.
ReplyDeleteOk... I'm sorry David .... You must be the exception to every guy I personally know of then.
ReplyDeleteSurely I realize there are a few out there that arent as bad as most, I mean ... it is just that I feel women were the ones meant to be at home, not the men. I am very old fashioned that way.
So don't take offense to my statement - okay ? There are excpetions to everything,,,, and I guess you are the exception. I think it is great that you are such a great father, but honestly, and it is sad - in this day - there are not all that many.
My offense wasn't really all that but I figured a "guy friend" of yours here had to say something. I know your point of view comes from where you're at in life and what you've been exposed to but at the same time I want to encourage you to look outside what you know. For the record, I'm no exception and I don't consider myself to be any amazing father but I work at providing an enironment of fun, love, encouragement, sacrifice, education, respect, disicipline and spirituality for my daughter. But I couldn't do it alone. That I know. Of course I would if I had to but reassuring to know that my wife needs me to help her raise our girl just as much as I need her.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of "deadbeat dads" out there....and mothers....as well as any other guardians raising children. Poor and negligent parenting is not exclusive to any sex, age or color. Unfortunately, it just exists and is a result of many factors such as: immaturity, abuse, selfishness, economic despair, a void of any faith in one's life, and/or an endless cycle of dysfunctional behavior that is passed on and not dealt with....to name a few.
Even if you consider yourself old-fashioned, I'm sure you'd agree that the demands and responsibilites of staying at home and raising a family can take a toll on any man....or woman.
Oh I totally agreee David .. I am so not well worded like you are tho. I luv the way that you can look at things. I wish more people were that way.
ReplyDeleteOh, I got my issues, weaknesses and dark side just like anyone else....but thanks! Let's just say I am soooo glad there's only one of me.
ReplyDeleteYou did great. Right or wrong, agree or disagree...everyone is entitled to their opinion.
