Q: Okay this is directed to Republicans/those who support President Bush (Don't take this as my attempt to bash anybody or any political group, I'm merely curious...also dont take this as me generalizing, I'm not saying EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN believes all these)

1. Do you honestly, truly believe that in the short term the Iraq War's main purpose is to liberate Iraquis, or to preserve a stable oil supply from the Middle East?

2. How can you say that it is completely and utterly unethical to allow a woman to have control over her body and have an abortion, while at the same time supporting that the state does away with prisoners with the Death Penalty?

3. Do you think homosexuals were born inferior to heterosexuals and do not deserve the same rights as them simply because of whom they choose to love?

4. Why do you believe that responding to terrorism by reducing the freedom of Americans is anything other than giving the terrorists exactly what they want?

5. Why are antiwar protesters deemed unpatriotic, but pro-war people praised?

Again, my goal is not to offend anybody. I just want honest opinions.

1. I believe that it was for both things.

2. When you are put to death from the death penalty, you have murdered somebody. Taken someone elses life. Taxes are paying to keep the prisoner alive. Why keep alive someone who murdered people? With abortion, you are killing a fetus who has done nothing. Thusforth...you are the murderer. I'm not sure I understand the question. If you had the sex...then, really, the baby was your fault. Even with birth control, you always know there is a chance. I dont know if that even answers your question...I'm not quite sure I understood it *sheepish grin* lol

3. No...I dont think you are born gay. Alright, think of it this way: A brother and sister are in love. Shouldnt they be allowed to marry? A daughter loves her father? Them? A man is in love with a gorilla. Shouldnt they? Marriage is a union between two people of the same sex...its sacred...and if we let gays marry, shouldnt we let two examples above marry also. I have nothing against the homosexuals whatsoever! It really is none of my business what their preference is.

4. After 9/11 the Americans wanted to feel safe. We are simply giving them what they want and trying to keep everything safe.

5. Antiwar protestors are unpatriotic because they are being extremely rude about the war. Protesting the war is fine, but sometimes they go so rude as to blatantly say awful things about Bush and our country and stuff. My question is if they hate it so much why dont they just move from the country! Lol.

Those were very good questions. I dont know if my answers were that great, but I hope it answers it a bit at least. Hmm.

Rating: 4

Aye, possibly for both things, but the question remains, which was the *primary* reason?

Why keep alive someone who has murdered people? Regardless of the fact the the United States Justice System has flaws and it is very possible that they have sentenced an innocent man (notice I say man... 99% of the people on death row are men which shows the bias of this system), how primitive a suggestion is that? "If someone kicks down my sandcastle, I'm kicking down theirs!" As cliche as it might be, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

Well I believe that its rather ignorant to believe that homosexuality is a nurtured trait. And hehe I think you had a bit of a slip up when you said "Marriage is a union between two people of the same sex" =D. And a father-daughter relationship is COMPLETELY different than a same sex relationship. COMPLETELY. COMPLETELY COMPLETELY. lol. --- People have given you enough about this question. I have more to say, but I'll leave you alone.. hehe
I think people deserve to be "exteremely rude" about the war that has slaughtered many innocent Iraquis and has quite possibly permanently damaged their society merely at the cost of war.

But anyways. While I disagree with the majority of what you said, I respect your opinion hon. Anyways, I just wanted to know what peoples opinions were, not for them to try to convince me or anything.

(sorry for this exteremely long comment he he)
