I enjoy cooking. Yep, we even make our own rice here in the office at whereIstand. Wait, is that really cooking...

I do not believe in soulmates. Props to @lamarhall

I do not ride motorcycles.

Homosexuality is not a choice. As I was informed by @JZipp, there is scientific evidence showing that homosexuality is in cases a genetic adaptation to curb population growth. Either way in general you don't choose to be sexually attracted to something. If someone were attracted to a horse I don't think that he or she chose to feel that way.

Pride is the worst of the seven deadly sins. Arrogance creates a closed mind, and not trying to communicate with or understand others has the highest potential for widespread destruction. The result is shamelessness and a lack of humility.

Racial profiling was not a factor in the arrest of Professor Gates. Doubtful. Disgruntled citizen and typical police officer. Nothing special here folks, move along.

The arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. was not justified. Police tend to forget that they are public servants. The guy was in front of his own house and he had identification. Regardless of unruly or being rude or irritated - anyone would be irritated if he was in front of his own house and asked if he was breaking in... to his own house... seriously. The smalltown sheriff mentality seems a lot better. They know the community, they're there to help out, they're not on power rushes or ego trips.

President Obama's statement about Henry Louis Gates, Jr.'s arrest was not appropriate.

Marijuana for medicinal use should be legalized.

It is not appropriate to talk on the phone while using a public restroom.

Atheism is not a religion. It's not an organized, hierarchical tax-exempt collective structure.

Parents should not have the right to refuse medical care for their children due to religious beliefs. If a parent did this and the child died it's pretty much murder, isn't it?

The Matthew Shepard Bill is constitutional. Why is a law protecting people from hate crimes unconstitutional? The various motivations for the robbery or the validity of them have nothing to do with whether or not the bill is unconstitutional. Sure, you might think that the Matthew Shephard incident is BS, but does that make this bill unconstitutional? I hope that one of the people on the other side of the fence clarifies their stands because I don't get it... Have I not done enough research? Am I missing something?

Carrie Prejean should be stripped of her Miss California title. I don't think she represents California. She just happens to live there.

Political compatibility is an important component to a romantic relationship.

Carrie Prejean did not lose the Miss USA 2009 competition for opposing same-sex marriage.

It is healthy for couples to remain friends after being in a long-term relationship.

Economic downturns lead to increases in crime. The most basic reason for aberrant behavior is a lack of the fulfillment of an animal's basic needs. Whether it be financial, emotional, or food, there is no such thing as 'evil', there is only cause and effect. If you starve and torture an animal, it will be violent. Just like those poor abused guard dogs. Some people think it's better to put down the animals though, be it humans or otherwise.

People who hit their significant others once are likely to do so again. It's not the sort of thing where you just lose it and do it just once. You're either the type that does it, or the type that doesn't. It's like an ingrained social behavior. If you can cross that line, then you can do it again.

Marijuana should be legal.

The jury ruling that awarded a drunk man $2.3 million for being hit by a subway was not appropriate.

Altruistic actions are inherently motivated by self-interest. People are 'altruistic' to create their own self identity of altruistic. There is always self benefit, whether you just feel good about it, or you parade yourself and your ego in your mind about how wonderful you are for being that way, every action made

Exotic animals who escape from captivity and harm humans should not be put to death.

Child services should take custody of Nadya Suleman's kids.

Jesus Christ was a real-life person.

Marijuana is not a gateway drug.

The Richland County Sheriff should not seek charges against Michael Phelps for allegedly smoking marijuana.

Humans are neither inherently good nor bad. I'm going to be honest and say I don't particularly like humans as a whole, but that doesn't suggest whether or not inherently humans are good or bad. All in all we're just another life form on the planet trying to get by.

Premarital counseling is an effective way to reduce divorce rates.

Gay marriage should be a federal issue.

Homeless animals should not be euthanized. Since when was being domesticated a requirement for being alive?

Monogamy is not natural. Sex is for pro-creation; establishing a connection between intercourse and relationships is a human convention. However I fully acknowledge that the one to one relationship construct is relevant and beneficial in the current structure of human society tod

Children with ambiguous genitalia should not undergo sex assignment surgery.

Children born with ambiguous genitalia should decide whether to undergo sex assignment surgery. Why in the world should people other than yourself be allowed to decide your gender? That's ridiculous.

Open marriages are a viable option for heterosexual couples. Open marriage is viable in the sense that it doesn't impose restriction and allows partners to cultivate a relationship based upon free choice as opposed to arbitrary or religiously-based rules.

Children with one heterosexual parent are not better off than children with two homosexual parents.

References to God or religion should be left out of U.S. Presidential Inaugurations.

God is neither man nor woman; God has no gender.

Same-sex marriage is a civil rights issue. Married couples legally obtain various benefits that aren't conferred upon same-sex couples who can't get married. Marriage has a legal definition, therefore it exists with civil jurisdiction.

The demand side of the drug trade should have a higher priority in America's War on Drugs. Stop the problem at its root. If you could better socioeconomic conditions such that people wouldn't feel a need to turn to drugs, there wouldn't be a market to supply them.
