I believe:

That depression and AD(H)D are over-diagnosed, and that most adolescents diagnosed with such are crybaby idiots being coddled by an overpaid quacks with no idea how children work.
That real depression is under diagnosed, and that there is more depressed and substance abusing individuals than most people know.
That children with REAL AD(H)D should be labeled as gifted rather than disabled, as they have an incredibly useful (and marketable) ability to multi-task.
That the 9/11 attacks occurred almost exactly as they were seen and reported, and that the only lies occurred later, as a justification for war.
That Jesus was an illusionist on par with Criss Angel, performing half-assed illusion-miracles which were later dramatized. I don't believe he even approach es the skill of Houdini.
That most people are poor by choice, rather than circumstance.
That abortion is a very effective and necessary way to increase the quality of life for humans, and should be used more frequently.
That men CAN cook, clean, and - heaven forbid - take care of children.
That we shouldn't try too hard to educate stupid people, else we lose valuable service workers.
