CuriousLord -> RE: What are some of your most controversial opinions? (2/8/2008 8:45:01 AM)

You're right; people do too often avoid subjects just because they're unpleasant. I'm strongly against abortion in most cases; I associate the people with it as monsters, so it's a view that's typically not well received in a BDSM community. :P (It's a lot less controversial in the vanilla world.) I'm against religion in ways. I think it's an utterly stupid institution, but my main point against it is that it directly and unapologenically targets children with promises that make "I have candy in my van" look honest by contrast. I'm for having some level of intelligence profenciency before one can take high office, such as for the Presidency. Not that I'd demand everyone be a genius, but at least a decent IQ of 120+. (Which I understand is, by definition, a good bit higher than the norm.. but I do not want normal people running something so important.) I'd love to tax the living hell out of alcohol and tabacco, but I understand there's a backlash to prohibition-like things. Still, perhaps methanol consumption is a natural way of dealing with drunkards. Sorta like how people kid about taking the warning labels off of things and letting natural selection take its course. (I'm not entirely sure if I'm against that idea.) I'm for getting to class on time, or at least not too late, so I'll have to cut this rant of a post on controversial things short. ;)
