God is neither man nor woman; God has no gender. These answers suck. I picked the closest one I could come to terms with. Are you sure G-d is not a black jewish woman? Who the heck really knows? I do know that I speak in terms of G-d as "him" so therefore I can say closer to "man" but G-d is not a man. "He" made man in his image.
Prostitution should not be legal. If it is legalized then tax it.
Marijuana is not a gateway drug. I think if I answer this I am showing that I have experience with it. Interesting that the only way you could know the answer to this question is either to study Cheech and Chong up in smoke or to have tried it yourself.
The jury ruling that awarded a drunk man $2.3 million for being hit by a subway was not appropriate. an SWI? Subwaying While Under the influence!? I have never seen a subway able to halt immediately or swerve out of the way so the fault is of the drunk SWI.
Scientists should not experiment on animals. No. There are plenty of human voluteers.
New York should open Central Park for major protests. Parks belong to the people and if that is what the people want to use it for that day, then so be it. Get that permit though!
Savannah cats should be domesticated as pets. They are commonly compared to dogs in their loyalty, and they will follow their owners around the house like a canine. They can also be trained to walk on a leash like a dog, and even fetch.
Viewing pornography is the equivalent of cheating. Thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife. Same thing to me as watching porn. If you have to smut up your thoughts inorder to get it up with the one you are with then you should get a better one to be with. It makes the one you are with feel like they are not good enough. Porn is an addiction due to some kind of disability perhaps?
Dogs should be used to control prisoners. What a great idea. Don't have to pay them either, just love them! Dogs work for love and food. This is a good use for a dog companion as long as the dog is treated properly.
People who hit their significant others once are likely to do so again. Believe me, I went through it. Promises, Promises, Promises. He even failed 'Anger Management' classes three times.
Mormons are not Christian. Mormons are Mormons and Christians are Christians. Crystal clear to me.
The 'War on Drugs' has been effective in curbing illegal drug use. More focus on the incoming product is needed though than on the users. Even that out and we have a good plan going and there has been good progress. Hey, how about legalizing it and taxing it. That would pay for the Bailout Debt Obama just endorsed.
The Constitution should be amended to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. If this changes the it will not only be limited to permitting same sex marraige, it will allow poligamy, tri-marraiges, and who knows!
The death penalty is an effective crime deterrent. Definitely. However, most criminials know they still get to live out their life for a long time in prison prior to actually getting the penalty.
African Americans should not receive reparations for slavery. First of all, the one's reparations should be paid to are gone now unfortunately. Second, The Welfare Society of Blacks that are using this line should get a job and stop working the system because they have been paid back with HUD housing, welfare etc. I think the Jews, woman, irish, etc would be entitled also then, however this is not the case since African Americans play the martyr so well.
Bernie Madoff should not be held as an accessory in cases where former investors committed suicide. Even though he was the initial cause, Madoff did not pull the trigger. Americans need to become "responsible" for their actions and if you take risks with your money then have the ability to respond, and without taking your own life.
Gay public figures do not have a responsibility to disclose their sexual orientation. It is basically none of anyone's business.
Different genders are not treated equally in the workplace. Answered from experience. Men and Woman and the inbetween are treated differently in the workplace.
A world without religion would be worse. No morals, pricipals or values.
Violence in movies contributes to violence in society. Yes it does and in games too!
Public displays of religious content should be permitted; religion is an important and relevant part of the US and should not be swept under the rug. Permitted by the government? What happened to that separation of church and state? Display away!
A belief in evolution does not contradict a belief in Creation. Until something is absolute, then one can believe in both.
Schools should not teach Intelligent Design as a scientific theory. The consensus in the scientific community is that intelligent design is not science.
Homosexuals should not be allowed to enter the clergy. Doesn't sound Kosher to me.
Gay marriage should be a state issue. Gay Marriage should be a personal issue but it acutally is more accepted in smaller state areas, more than Federal. If it went Federal, then it would craming it down throats of those who do not accept it. However, California still did not get it's vote passed so as liberal as they are they still don't want this. So it is a personal issue at best and that is not one of the answers here so, I go with leave it with the Individual States.
A small portion of the nation's poor are victims of circumstances beyond their control. Circumstances concern a small portion. The majority are lazy and/or are used to living off the government. It's their way of life. They know the system and they use it. These are the people that vote for the socialistic leaders.
There should be no legal drinking age. Governement Control again here.
The government should not mandate paid parental leave. The Governement Should NOT Mandate period unless it has to do with National Security Issues. Thank you.
There is a non-religious basis for universal principles of morality. It exists in Political Ethics but the problem is there is still no 1 answer as there are still a range of opinions. Look at the difference in answers to the basic question of "How we ought to Live" in regard to Democrats and Republicans.
No-fault divorce should be available to couples. It already is in Florida. Florida is a No-fault divorce state, or at least it was in 2000 when I got divorced.
Man is not infallible. To be human is to error.
Minors should be exempt from the death penalty. They already are. The United States Supreme Court abolished capital punishment for offenders under the age of 16 in Thompson v. Oklahoma (1988), and for all juveniles in Roper v. Simmons (2005).
The U.S. should not enact a constitutional amendment prohibiting the burning of the American flag. Go ahead, burn it. I totally disagree but I have to support the constition. Geeze I hate this question. One question though ... Don't they need a permit or they will get charged with Arsen? You can't just go around lighting fires these days. Can't even ye
Adulthood should not be socially accepted at the onset of puberty. Adulthood is still a mystery to most adults! For goodness sakes!
Humans are inherently good. It's all in the upbringing! Born innocent. Taught to be bad.
Failure to wear a seat belt should be a secondary offense. It already is in Florida. The driver gets the ticket if the passenger is under 18 and does not have their seat belt on.
Exotic animals who escape from captivity and harm humans should be put to death. Only if there is no other option. In some cases I could see that a snake should be put somewhere as they are only feeding when wrapping around a small child for dinner but an aggressive animal such as a chimp or pitt bull perhaps was mishandled and there
Child services should take custody of Nadya Suleman's kids. Oh boy, this woman knew how to play the welfare system didn't she. The goverment (err tax payers) are paying for everything and the to top it off the media kicks in and pays her oodles to be on their shows and that will go on for a long time. She has play
Government funding should not be available to religious organizations for the purpose of performing a social good. Separation of Church and State
Doubt can be part of faith. Absolutely. Oxymoron? Without doubt why would we need faith? It is part of the ride. It is part of being human. If one is constantly tested then they keep renewing their faith and as a human, the interest is intensified. If everything was perfect, we woul
