Gay Marriage - I don't find anything all that wrong with it. For *most people who are against
it, most of their views stem from some religious view of how men and women should be, inter-
act, what have you. There just doesn't seem to be anything wrong in the fact that if two guys
or two ladies want to get together and consumate themselves, then they should be allowed.
For the most part, marriage is just a set of vows, that ethically, you should follow.
Who decides what's ethically right, or why you should stand by those values, is an entirely
different post, and one I shall never get involved in.

Abortion - No and Yes (but more No.) I understand alot of progressive views stating that
abortion is good under certain terms, one of those being, what if it was on accident (the
shallowest arguement), it was rape (a strong case for abortion) or a few other things that
I really can't think of right now. But the truth of it is that as soon as the egg is fertalized,
and the cells inside it start to multiply, there's life there, no questions asked. And that's
where I feel wrong about ever aborting people.

Gun Control - Seems to work for the entire UK, why not try it out here?

Prostitution - I have no opinions on this.

Marijuana - Nothing good nor bad comes from this, but from a legal/illegal standpoint, it
seems better to leave it illegal. Having it legal would make prices drop dramatically and
would make it to easily accessible to people (although it's really not all that hard to get it
these days anyway.) I do think that people who are caught using it should be less severely
punished for their use of it.

Other drugs - Not legal, ever. Most are way too freakin dangerous and making them legal
will only hurt more people than keeping them legal. These people should definately be
punished for their use of it.

Euthanasia - It's a person's own choice whether they want to go or live. I'm more for it
when people are old, very sick, or other things. If you still have a life to live for, this should
not be an option.

And it seems that Art knows about hive mind theory, or just a coincedence.
People by themselves are pretty stupid, mainly because it's infinately difficult to possess
enough knowledge to make yourself a truely gifted human. I'm always for the philosophy
that if you study, well, philosophy and/or logic, you'd be able to at least seem like a much
better person, or at least wiser. I'm not very good at expressing opinions, at least in
words, or without spending two hours talking it out, one of those repressful folks Art speaks of.
