Opinions

The Constitution should not be amended to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. No. That's stupid.

Homosexuals should be allowed to enter the clergy. That's up to the clergy to decide.

Local and state governments should not be able to use eminent domain to acquire and transfer properties that have public benefits for private uses. No.

Schools should not teach Intelligent Design as a scientific theory. Let's see. A theory that a small wacky group of theologians believe in, or a theory that a GLOBAL majority of scientists believe in. Hmm this is tough...NOT

Affirmative action is not necessary. A few folks have taken advantage of it, but overall it has not done much to alleviate the poverty and lower living standards of minorities. Something else must be done.

Religious leaders should not speak out on political matters. They shouldn't speak at all.

Drug sentencing laws in America are not fair. They cause a large negative economic impact by creating criminals.

Violence in movies does not contribute to violence in society. It's the other way around. Movies play out our fantasies.

Different genders are not treated equally in the workplace. It depends upon the workplace, but it certainly still happens.

Drugs should be legalized. Making them illegal was unconstitutional i.e. the drug laws are illegal themselves. So yes, drugs are legal. The justice system has again, cheated the american people.

Prostitution should be legal. If there is a way to test for STD's and effective contraceptives involved. Prostitution is a crime of the lower class. Everybody else gets away with it.

There is no convincing evidence that a higher being exists. People use fear and "mystical" things as excuses and explanations of the unknown. They fill in gaps of knowledge with religious ideas. It's really quite silly.

Atheism is not a religion. No. It's lack of religion.

The law should require people to wear seat belts. It's a fine law with a good purpose.

People who view child pornography should be prosecuted criminally.

Freedom from discrimination based on sexual orientation should be considered a civil right.

Solitary confinement should be used as a form of punishment. A fate much worth than death is constant loneliness.

Minors should be exempt from the death penalty.

African Americans should not receive reparations for slavery.

Homosexuality is not immoral. It certainly isn't. Demonizing a human for being different. Oh please cry me a river.

Homosexuality is not a choice.

Same-sex marriage should be available for same-sex couples.

Feminism is relevant. It is but it shouldn't be. We are still working on it.

Children should be allowed to play video games. I grew up playing video games as a kid. As the technology changes, so does recreation. Deal with it. People hated baseball when it first came on the scene because of stupid trivial reasons. This is no different really. The government should remain outside

Children's media should portray same-sex parents. Yup. Stop denying reality. This issue isn't something that is detrimental at all. Go for it!

Hollywood does encourage positive role models. Case in point: Brad Pitt and MIR project to help build New Orleans.

Parents should not provide contraceptives to their teenage children. I suppose when I was 17 if my mom offered extra condoms, as creepy as it is, I'd probably take them. Should she be required to do this? No way.

People should stop using the n-word. Until they have a legitimate slang word that actually offends me, a white guy, then I won't use the N word. I mean cmon, Cracker? Who is offended by that? It's just not fair. Until the playing ground is leveled I won't participate.

There should not be limitations on freedom of expression. Not government limits. Common sense dictates never cry "fire" in a movie theater. You don't need a law to enforce that. If our society goes down the tubes in the regard of common sense and decency there's not much a government can do about it.

The United States should not issue a formal apology for slavery. WHAT?!?! Let's ask the church of england to apologize for the crusades. Makes more sense actually.

The legal minimum age for gambling should not be raised to 21.

The legal drinking age should be 18.

Marriage should not be defined as a union between one man and one woman.

The government should allow same-sex couples to adopt children. Anybody should be able to adopt a child if they want. A person't sexual preference doesn't interfere with their child rearing abilities any more than their preference of shoe color or car model.
