I do not believe in soulmates.

I do not enjoy cooking. I enjoy when someone else does the cooking while I relax and have a drink, and then eat once the food is ready.

I never attend religious services. Only if I forget the address to the wedding ceremony

A world without religion would be better. It would be a world free of the beliefs that have inspired the worst atrocities, a world where people would reason and think, and where fantastic claims without evidence would be openly rejected

I buy lottery tickets. Every once in a while, specially if the pot is large, and although the probabilities are very small, someone always wins.

Employers should not block personal e-mail access on company computers. I don't think its fair that employers block access to private e-mail accounts in company pc's, while expecting one to access one's work e-mail account away from the office using remote access (VPN) or blackberry. If they want to keep private life away from the office, then its just fair that work be kept away from private life.

I have never smoked marijuana.

I do not ride motorcycles.

Moralidade e religião não devem ter uma função na produção de leis públicas.

Marijuana should be legal. Legalize it, tax it and use the income to finance educational programs. I don't think marijuana is worse than alcohol.

O homosexualismo não é imoral. What does morality have to do with sexual preference?

Dogs are better pets than cats. I think Dogs are loyal while Cats are self interested (although Cats are easier to take care and are cleaner)

Racial discrimination is still a significant problem in America. It probably is, but its clearly becoming less and less over time.

It is not appropriate to talk on the phone while using a public restroom. And you don't even know who may be listening, so its not even wise to do so.

President Obama's statement about Henry Louis Gates, Jr.'s arrest was not appropriate. He probably over reacted and should have kept silent. But in the end, its not a major issue, so lets focus on more substantive issues.

Deus é justo. God is just ............. not there.

Political compatibility is an important component to a romantic relationship. Extreme political views in opposite directions are cause of conflict in most relationships

Marijuana is not a gateway drug. Gateway to the munchies! I have the impression that there is much more consumption of marijuana than all the other drugs combined, and that fact in and of itself indicates that it is not.

There is equality among those in Heaven. Yes, they are equally not there.

Ver pronografia não é equivalente trair.

Couples with kids are happier than those without. Hard to say, since one can only talk about one's own experience (either with or without kids) and perceptions about the happiness of others may be misleading. Although my experience with kids is relatively recent, I can clearly state without doubt that I am happily exhausted.

Couples should not celebrate Valentine's Day. No, this is a commercial trick to make people spend money. Couples should celebrate being together as often as they can (life is short).

Humans are inherently good. Most humans are inherently good, but some are bad

References to God or religion should be left out of U.S. Presidential Inaugurations. We are not a theocracy, references to god should be kept inside the church (if they have to exist at all).

The United States should issue a formal apology for slavery.

God is neither man nor woman; God is an illusion.

Casual sex is not immoral. As long as you are not married.

Os consumidores devem ter prioridade mais elevada na guerra da América em drogas. As long as there is demand, there will always be supply, particularly if efforts to reduce supply result in higher prices

Os EUA não devem impôr uma lei que proíba a queima da bandeira americana.

A violência nos filmes contribue para a violência na sociedade.

A dúvida não pode fazer parte da fé.

Undocumented immigrants should be granted in-state tuition benefits.

Faith-based organizations should pay taxes. All businesses should pay taxes, including those that sell spiritual services (its all about money)

A constituicao americana nao deve ser mudada para definir o casamento como a uniao entre um homem e uma mulher.

O uso de contraceptivo não é imoral.

Escolas não devem ensinar Design Inteligente como uma theoria científica.

Homosexuality is not a choice.

O governo não deveria permitr parceiros do mesmo sexo adotar crianças.

Islã se tornará a religião predominante na Europa. It seems unstoppable

Fundos monetários do governo não devem ser usados para atos religiosos.
