The following are all bad for you:

sammiches

I definitely disagree with part of this...

pie...one of the most important food groups of the day

beer...see pie
sammiches...sammiches are fine until you turn 5 years old, after that, you should switch over to sandwiches. A much healthier choice for adolescents and adults both...sammiches are for babies and small children.

Aerons are worth every cent spent. For people who disagree, they tried the incorrect size for their fat ass.

That cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD, and alot of other diseases/conditions are treatable with natural solutions rather than with drugs.
Doctors are too quick to give drugs to a patient. Many times, their are much safer forms of treatment that are not drug and chemotherapy related.

Even had a moderator get quite defensive with me one time, telling me how wrong I was. Whats funny is, everyone seems to like this guy, obviously this is a sore subject with him.

1) kill medicare. why is billions of my tax $ going to save the worthless old?

if they're too poor to afford healthcare, then let them join medicaid. i dont want my $ wasted to extend someone's life for 6months at the cost of millions EACH.

2) forced birth control for those on welfare

3) it's amazing that OJ was found not guilty because:
a) he was black. minorities dont do that well in the justice system
b) he was guity

Bush isn't as stupid as he appears to be, but all of his advisers are.

If you're complaining about $4+ a gallon then don't buy a gas guzzling vehicle with the reason of, "Because I can!"

Quoting posts and typing just "this" or "qft"

I don't give a s*&t if you agree with someone. Explain why or save us the time. At least I get to scroll by that crap with my middle finger.

Also; bringing up the UPS guy peeing on the lawn. Enough with that crap already.

I believe in life on other planets. I am not sure if I believe we've been visited...but it is possible.

I don't believe in God.

I believe marijuana should be legal. If anything should be illegal, it should be tobacco and alcohol. Those kill people. Lots of people.

I believe that George Bush is a criminal. A dumb criminal.

I believe the tax on vehicles should be based on its fuel mileage. Something small that gets 40MPG should have like a 2% sales tax. Large SUVs and such should have a 15% tax.

I believe we should have some sort of national health care in the US.

I'd even say I believe cocaine, LSD, and mushrooms containing psilocybin should be legal. Just like alcohol, they can be awesome, but one must have self control. I've never done crack, meth, or heroin, and I don't plan on it. I've seen to many people fuck up their lives with that stuff. Sure, people can get hooked on coke pretty bad...but you just need self control.


I am sure a lot of people believe this stuff, but a lot of people don't.

If people practiced abstinence, a LOT of problems would be avoided, and AIDS could be a much more minor issue.

God exists. And related to this, evolution and this multi-billion year old earth that just popped out of random "chance" is false.

Bush isn't to blame for every little thing that goes wrong in your life.

Obama sucks. But then so does McCain, though to a lesser degree.

Government controlled healthcare is not the answer.

Increasing taxes is not the answer and won't fix everything.

SUVs are not evil.

Guns are not evil.

I oppose gay "marriage" and the whole gay movement to force acceptance of their lifestyle upon me. If they want to be perverted, shame on them but it is their problem, but don't force me to like it, because I won't.

I didn't believe that until I tried double vitamins (2 Spectrum 29) as a "natural" cure for my energy levels. Was awesome and worked beyond any "energy" drugs that were ever prescribed.

Natural solutions - eating a healthy balanced diet, exercise regularly, etc. all help, we should be more preventative about health care (something the politicians have just twigged onto for the NHS, god knows what they are going to try and do...). Parenting is a skill. TV != parenting.

Entitlement mentality - I will eat 2 cheese burgers a day and guzzle soft drinks, never mind that I'm 15 stone overweight, I can get pills from the doctor, and I don't pay for my prescriptions... ps I sneezed can I have an antibiotic and get a script later?
