I think people who were alcoholics/drug addicts/etc and now live a sober life are weak. They obviously don't have the ability to control themselves around substances, and then we pat them on the back for being [x] years sober? Where's my atta-boy for not being a weakling to begin with?

- Religion should never be used as an argument outside of any religious institution should be held to the same standard as everything else - Killing people because of their religion, location, or ideology without them doing anything to harm others should never be accepted - America has too much power and has fetishized militarization. Their weapons of mass destruction should be taken by the UN and locked away - Abortion should be legal and practised everywhere (e.g. the woman should always be able to have that as a choice) - Free health care should be a thing - Gender norms are stupid as hell and those who enforce them are idiots. Those people are even bigger idiots if they shame people who are transgendered since transgenderism is a bi-product of of gender norms not matching sexes. - Human rights should be for every human, regardless of race, location, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or sexual identification - Intolerance of someone's identity is stupid and should never be acceptable. - Feminism is both misunderstood and misguided. It's an issue on both sides which won't resolve itself until the feminist extremists go away (which probably won't happen for a while) - The body positive movement is misguided. We should accept people's bodies since they don't affect us, encourage healthy life styles, and safely target the parents of children who are obese rather than the children (by target I don't mean attack, but rather help or change) - Circumcision shouldn't be practised anymore unless the male consents at a later point in their adult life. - I'm not a fan of Beyonce (but I also don't really listen to her) - Apricots are tasty, both fresh and dried

People who believe in free will are from what I have experienced less likely to be empathetic to people they deem as wrong, compared to those that don't believe free will exists and need to find other factors for ones behavior other than they choose to do it.

I generally feel that anyone who is incapable of telling the difference between natural and man-made structures need to be wiped off of the face of the earth. Them and anyone who tries to treat religious beliefs as factual information.

1 ReplySome people at my school think Obama's doing a good job... I disagree, not on political standing, but on principle: the man has done nothing but campaign, legalize some illegal immigrants (through an executive order, mind you), and bring unemployment back to almost what it was before his presidency. But hey, I'm just a kid, so what do I REALLY know.....
