Holy shit, I've heard about you guys.

Anyway, I'm pro gay marriage... I think gay marriage should be mandatory.

Gay marriage is fine with me! I think gay people should get to be miserable and lose half their stuff like everybody else!!!

Let's see how you feel about it when you meet your court-appointed life-partner Mark.

Does terminology bother you that much? I doubt that will happen.

What?! You doubt the probability that we'll all be forced to gay marry? Next you'll be telling me we landed on the moon.

Additional controversial stance of mine: I hate the fuck out freedom.

America's addiction to TV is a primary cause of America's high divorce rate.

All smokers are assholes.

Drinking wine is as sure an indicator that a man is a limpdick as there ever was.

Parents insist on driving their children to school, even when a bus is available or when the school is within reasonable walking distance because they consider the act a status symbol.

Give me time, I'm old, I have a lot of them.

For me, It will probably be that I believe Anthropogenic Global Warming is exaggerated and is not a giant concern.

If your religious, this should be easy ;)

People who throw around terms like Anthropogenic Global Warming yet don't seem to grasp the distinction between "you're" and "your". ;)

Ha! You missed the improper capitalization of "It" in the first sentence! Who got owned now?

You. Twice.

I'm adorable, thank you very much!

I'll grant you that the eye stalks are cute but the whole egg sack thing is disgusting.

Nope. I'm pretty much just adorable.

The so-called "greatest" generation never was- they're the cause of most of the mess we inherit today.

There is almost* never justification for any abortion.

If you believe human life begins at conception and/or embryo attachment to the uterine wall, then you must follow through with that belief and assign the conceptus/attached emybro full "minor child" rights which of course means all abortions are illegal in any circumstance.

Of course I don't disagree that a teen girl being raped by her perverted father which results in a pregnancy is a terribly awful and trammatic thing. But nevertheless, destroying the conceptus/attached emybro is robbing its right to live, and I do believe a vast majority of the authors of our Constitution would agree. Or if you like, in more simplistic terms, one evil is not corrected by doing another evil.

* Now, I did say almost never. The only situation I can think of would be if the mother's life was in danger. This is quite rare. If I were the husband/father and had to make the call, I would ask the doctor(s) to rate the survival chances and post-health consequences of both the mother and unborn child. After that, I honestly do not know if I could say goodbye to my wife for the sake of our child. My heart tells me it would be right to favor the life of the child, but I also know that stillborn pregnancies are not too uncommon, so in the end I would have to be in that situation to find out how I would react.

I do not think the rise in oil prices since spring-ish is due to supply and demand OR the "falling" dollar

I think people who are still speeding on the highways(over 70) forfeit their right to complain about gas prices.

I oppose gay marriage

I'm not sure how controversial this is, but if I were given the choice for the future earth to be completely devoid of nature - everything paved over, 100% synthetic food, no wild animals, etc. - or for humans to be gone, and have the earth be an eden free of any Adams or Eves; I would choose the latter.

Actually they're born ugly, stupid and whiny and most then get worse with age.
