Controversial Meme

The Controversies---Stolen from Laura

1. Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?

I do, although when I speak up about my thoughts on these things, LOTS of people get REALLY angry..... oh well..... :)

2. Would you do meth if it was legal?

No. Not even a thought.

3. Abortion: for or against it?

Very much against it. We are talking about human life here. If we kill the ones who cannot defend themselves~~(elderly, handicapped people and pre-borns and children), then who will stand up for them? Think of the Good Samaritan......

~Treat others as you would want them to treat you.

4. Do you think the world would fail with a female president?

No, I do not think that the world would fall apart with a female president. It might make us sit up and wake up a bit! (I can't get the font color to change!)

5. Do you believe in agree with the death penalty?

Yes, in most circumstances; In the Bible it talks of the government and of how the government are God's Agents of Wrath. The government is set up for the "dole-ing" out of what needs to be done to criminals.

Side thought: A lot of people say that the government has no right to "control" what a woman does with her body according to abortion, YET....we want the police and the courts to "control" the murderer?

Romans 13:4

4 For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.

6. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?

Well, I used to think that it didn't matter because people are going to smoke it anyway, BUT now that I have children, do I really want my family and I walking down the street watching people get high? Hmmm.... I say not. Would we have "Pot Bars". We have to look at the bigger picture.

Plus, think of the health consequences....it EATS your brain up. I have had friends that are proof.

7. Are you for or against premarital sex?

I am against premarital sex. If we again look at the bigger picture here, we can see the dire consequences that come with having casual and premarital sex (the media doesn't talk about that much, does it, it isn't "pretty" enough). I also know that we reap what we sow.

If we become "one" with someone. And then we become "one" with the next one, well, pretty soon, we are all messed up. Plus, we aren't looking at what a gift married sex is. It's an incredible blessing!

8. Do you believe in God?

Yes, I do. But that doesn't mean that I can't relate to the people that don't.

9. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?

Biblical point of view: No. But I am NOT a hater. Why is it that since I believe this, people think that I hate people with other points of views?

10. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?

Illegally, YES. Why not just do it the LEGAL way, my Mom did.

11. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?

So many of these questions are so juvenile...... let's see, if she has an awesome family, then I say yes, BUT if she doesn't, I say that ADOPTION is an incredible option.....

12. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?

Umm, let's see. In high school, they got drunk anyway. BUT, by keeping it illegal, maybe it keeps the streets safer?

13. Should the war in Iraq be called off?

I have no ability to answer this question. The media paints it all as horrible, yet we had to war with Hitler in order to save the holocaust victims.

I would have to talk to a majority of soldiers to answer this question correctly. I CANNOT have my mind judge what should be done by what the media says, that for sure!

14. Assisted suicide is illegal:

Sanctity of human life, man. We have to protect life. But if machines and wires is all that are keeping someone alive, then I would have to think about what would be what God would want.

15. Do you believe in spanking your children?

Yes, in certain circumstances. But you have to have a solid balance.

16. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?

Nope. It's just the principle of it all. A lot of soldiers lost their lives for this country. It shows only disrespect. Would you burn your family photo album?

17. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?

Not Obama, that's for sure. But I can't say that I agree with our other presidential choice all that much.

Everyone is declaring how "holy" Obama is. Hey, listen up, NO man can "save" or "change" things much. He's just a man, not a dictator~~unless that's what people are hoping the "change" is.

Plus, how could I vote for a man that could possibly let a baby die after it had survived a botched abortion. I am a HUMAN. How can I overlook that fact? It makes him sound like a monster.

18. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?

No, everyone is an adult. They can handle it, just like I can handle their answers. :) I am American! I have these rights (fir the time being....). :O)
