And down the stretch I come.

 

You cannot be moral without being religious.

 

Agree.

 

There are people in this world who perform moral feats simply because it is the right and just thing to do, not because they are afraid God will strike them down if they act otherwise. It's a shame I'm not one of these people that cares about doing the right thing, but I know they have to exist somewhere.

 

Charity is better than social security as a means of helping the genuinely disadvantaged.

 

Agree.

 

Generally, it’s more efficient. The bigger a “giving” institution is, the better chance of it becoming wrapped in red tape and saddled with unnecessary overhead.

 

Some people are naturally unlucky.

 

Disagree.

 

Sometimes fate does play a role in what happens to us, but it’s the choices we make that determines this “luck” for us, too.

 

It is important that my child's school instills religious values.

 

Disagree.

 

It’s important that a school instills reading, writing and arithmetic. Also having them return your brat home free of bullets or blades helps, too.

 

Sex outside marriage is usually immoral.

 

Diagree.

 

If by “immoral” you mean “not for baby-making purposes” then I might agree (although married couples have sex to get off, too). For me, “immoral” in this case means “not for feelings,” and for me that would mean prostitution. Since most sex outside of marriage isn’t a business transactions (although with the cost of dating, this could be debated), I will say no.

 

A same sex couple in a stable, loving relationship, should not be excluded from the possibility of child adoption.

 

Agree.

 

I’m against homosexual marriage, because I’ve always said marriage is between a man and a woman. However, if a child faces a choice between living in foster care/the government system for his or her upbringing or living with Bob and Steve in an otherwise “normal” household, then I say go for it. Just realize that the kid will probably get beat up a lot in school for having gay adoptive parents.

 

Pornography, depicting consenting adults, should be legal for the adult population.

 

Agree.

 

If not for Porn, there wouldn’t be an Internet today. An Internet where I can take polls like this.

 

What goes on in a private bedroom between consenting adults is no business of the state.

 

Agree.

 

I know what this question is supposed to mean, but what if Condi Rice is banging some guy from Syria and in the act of passion she starts moaning out upcoming military strategies? I would think then that the State should take in interest in this one.

 

No one can feel naturally homosexual.

 

Disagree.

 

I enjoy the one time every few years that I go clothes shopping during a big sales event; I'd imagine that's how homos feel this way everyday, although I don't buy anything in vibrant colors.

 

It's fine for society to be open about sex, but these days it's going too far.

 

Agree.

 

I may be at risk of sounding like an old fuddy duddy, but sometimes when I turn onto MTV and I cringe at what I see. I guess I can agree with this statement because it doesn’t say if I want anything done by the government about it. I know there are some other societies that are "more open" with this topic than the States, but then again there are a bunch of other societies that are much less, accepting, of seeing chicks in suggestive poses.

Well there you have it. Now that I'm done, where exactly do I compare with world leaders in my viewpoints? Am I to the right of W. on foreign policy, or am I more authoritative than Hitler on social issues? You can either take all of my answers and submit them yourself onto the Political Compass's web site, or you can just wait until I post the results in a future entry.
