Roman Polanski should be extradited to the U.S.

Employers should not block personal e-mail access on company computers.

Homosexuality is not a choice.

The use of contraceptives is not immoral.

Homosexuality is not immoral.

Drugs should not be legalized.

I have never smoked marijuana. Doesn't really go well with running.

The arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. was not justified. My general understanding is that Gates definitely overreacted when dealing with the officer (and said some things that he should not have said). Nevertheless, he was at his own home, and so there was no reason for things to escalate and lead to his arrest.

President Obama's statement about Henry Louis Gates, Jr.'s arrest was appropriate. I really didn't have any problem with it. I can see why he didn't want to upset the head of the Boston Police Department, but it didn't seem like that big a deal to me.

Dogs are better pets than cats.

Religious compatibility is not an important component to a romantic relationship.

Political compatibility is not an important component to a romantic relationship. I think it's pretty easy to keep politics from interfering with a relationship.

Marijuana is not a gateway drug. I'm sure there are people who definitely move onto other, harder drugs after initially trying dope, but I also know a ton of people who have smoked marijuana a few times to see what it's like and that was that.

Economic downturns lead to increases in crime. I've never looked at the data, but I'm inclined to say yes. I mean, there are even tons of people out there who are running schemes that are disguised as stimulus programs, which are designed to steal people's money.

Jesus Christ was a real-life person.

Dating sites are not an effective way to find love. Dating sites just seem really depressing to me--can't one of your friends set you up with someone?

Mormons are not Christian.

Viewing pornography is not the equivalent of cheating.

Couples should celebrate Valentine's Day. I'm not a huge fan of Valentine's Day. BUT, unless you have a pretty cool girlfriend, you don't really have a choice but to celebrate the holiday.

Marijuana should not be legal.

Schools should not teach Intelligent Design as a scientific theory.

The government should allow same-sex couples to adopt children.

Prostitution should not be legal.

The U.S. should not return to the gold standard.

There are no persuasive reasons to prohibit same-sex couples from raising children.

There are no persuasive non-religious reasons to prohibit same-sex marriage.

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

Marriage should not be defined as a union between one man and one woman. I don't see why people should be opposed to same-sex marriage.

The Constitution should not be amended to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. There should be no obstacles preventing people from same-sex marriages.

There are circumstances under which I support capital punishment. Only under the most extreme circumstances. The only reason I support capital punishment is because of how crowded jails are in most US cities.

UNKNOWN: How is Christianity trending as a religion?
