I have not received/will not receive the swine flu vaccination. I'm a gambling man and I don't like waiting in lines.

I floss my teeth regularly. But that doesn't mean every day.

I do not practice Yoga. Not currently. Have before, and may again. What kind of hippie would I be if I didn't?

There are persuasive reasons why people should not eat meat.

Children with ADHD should be treated with medications. Only in cases so bad that it is actually affecting the happiness of a child negatively.

Medical providers should have the right to refuse medical care they find morally objectionable.

All-natural hygienic products are effective.

I have had my teeth whitened by a dentist.

Employers should not be required to offer health insurance to full-time employees. Until healthcare is universal, this is a free market. If employers want workers who are willing to work for them without benefits, they will get what they pay for.

Employer health care plans should offer equivalent benefits for both mental health and physical conditions.

Healthcare reform should include a government-sponsored health insurance option.

Medicaid coverage should be provided for low-income individuals infected with HIV.

I do not worry about growing older. I used to. Now I'm like the lamb before the slaughter...

The town hall protests against health care reform are not appropriate. How does this country expect to make changes without discussion? The idea that we've turned into a nation of obnoxious offensive self-righteous babies is embarrassing.

I do not use lip balm regularly.

Contraceptives should not be covered by health insurance plans.

There is no link between childhood vaccinations and autism.

Animals do have souls. but they're not soldiers. (except for ants)

Drinking in moderation is not a viable treatment for alcoholism. It would be interesting to see tests on this, but I highly doubt it. Moderation is a poor skill when it comes to addictive substances, including food.

Media coverage of the swine flu outbreak has been overblown. Um yes. ONE person in the US has died. This is news? I mean.. sure, be careful, but man oh man, lots more people die from lots more things on a daily basis.

The outbreak of the influenza virus (Swine flu) in Mexico will become an international pandemic.

Habitual consumption of alcohol is worse on one's personal health than habitual consumption of marijuana. By FAR.

Life is fundamentally precious.

Meditation does improve your health.

There is no link between sexual behavior and depression. Certainly there can be, but it isn't inherent.

The size of a man's penis does affect his level of confidence. Of course all men are different, but I certainly think it does.

Suicidal behavior is not genetic. It actually has been tested and shown that statistically the likelihood of committing suicide is higher someone in your immediate family has done the same. However, that does not prove that it is genetic. Genetic abnormalities are complimented by learned behaviors in reaction to those genetics.

Pope Benedict's comments about condoms increasing the problem of AIDS in Africa were not accurate. But I know where he's coming from, and frankly I'm surprised at the outrage everyone is showing at the comment. Is it really a surprise that the leader of the Catholic church would advise abstinence as the ultimate solution. He's right about that you know. IF people abstained, it would be more effective than condoms.

The U.S. should do more to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Vitamin supplements should not require a prescription.

Brushing your tongue does help prevent bad breath.

Health insurance should cover laser eye surgery.

Men have a stronger sex drive than women. That's right, I said it.

Video games do improve the cognitive brain function in adults over 50. But the trick is, getting someone over 50 to sit down and learn to play.

The government should regulate the cost of healthcare.

The U.S. government should provide universal healthcare.

Frequent marijuana use does not adversely affect sperm. The studies to support this are suspiciously void of any specific data, and the birth rate among marijuana users is as high as non-users.

Obesity should not be classified as a disability.

Stress is not contagious. I would say that it is influential, but not necessarily contagious. People around me may be stressed, but I rarely am affected by it.

There are persuasive non-religious reasons for male circumcision. Of course there are. Aesthetics.
