Hehe I just found this post when I was doing a search for something else.

What are your thoughts on gay marriage, abortion, gun control, prostitution, marijuana, other drugs, euthanasia? Are you against all of them? What are your reasons for such opinions?

Gay marriage - Don't care to much. I don't like the idea of gay couples adopting all that much, but I know there are some gay couples that would make great parents and some hetro ones that would make horrible ones. Based on the number of factors that make a good parent and all things being equal I'd put a hetro couple 'above' a gay one (and I've had gay friends agree with this idea) in terms of adoption.
Abortion - I think as a whole it cheapens the value of life, even if it helps my political ideals out by having less welfare babies born. Rape, incest, fine flush the kid, but if you are too stupid to keep your legs crossed you live with it.
Gun Control - Stupid idea, that has been proven to promote violent crime not curb it.
Prostitution - Don't care if its legal or not, I'm never going to pay for it. I don't find anything wrong with it.
Marijuana - Again I don't care if you are a pot head, but if you are a lazy pot head on welfare then I care. Smoke what you want but don't make me pay for your kids and your medical care.
Other drugs - Same thing as MJ. Do it, but when you are a half starved semi insane shell of a man, fucking starve to death on your own and stay out of my hospital.
Euthanasia - Don't care except it should NEVER EVER be a doctors choice or recommendation, it would be very easy, especially in an overcrowded crappy socialist type medical system to ‘promote’ the idea in order to save money.
Being a conservative has nothing to do with religion in my book, its about what make sense and what works with human nature. Good intentions of liberals mean nothing when it leads to more suffering and less progress. Most of the above issues are ‘non issues’ to me (except maybe gun control). They are things which should affect other people without having a huge effect on society. I’d support a government which allowed all of the above (except again gun control) if they upheld the ideas of free enterprise, self responsibility, and limited government powers over the individual.
