Medical marijuana: As long as it's not abused and can only be gotten with a prescription for a real illness, I see no reason for it to be illegal. Some illnesses cause great pain for the victim and it should be made available to anyone who has such an illness.

George W. Bush: He's an American dictator and a mass murderer, bent on reshaping the world according to how he thinks it should be. It's only a matter of time until he tries to force his morality on the wrong country. He needs to be impeached and brought to justice now, before he can do any more damage.

Michael Jackson: I guess everyone has an opinion. Mine is that either he's a child molester, who wasn't found guilty of any of the charges that were brought against him, even the ones that he confessed to (cough), simply because he's a rich and famous pop icon, or he's some mentally challenged man-child that should be receiving special care in a home somewhere.

Human cloning: I'm all for it. Some people think that, if you clone a human, you're going to create some kind of soulless monster. This kind of nonsense belongs in the Dark Ages. Cloning is nothing more than an alternative means of reproduction. As with giving birth the old-fashioned way, you're creating a human life through cloning, not a monster that should be killed to satisfy the abstract issues and concerns of popular morality.

Homosexuality: I have no problem with homosexuals. A person's sexual orientation is no one's concern but his or her own. If guys want to stick their Wookiees into the various orifices of other guys, that's their business and shouldn't be anyone's except theirs.

The first day of the week: The first day of the week is Monday. It's true that most calendars have Sunday at the beginning of the week, but that's because it's the "day of rest". Sunday is actually the last day of the weekend, making it the last day of the week. Some calendars also have Sunday highlighted, in some way, simply because it is the "day of rest".

Weekends: It really annoys me when people say that Friday is the weekend, because it's not. This was started by people at their places of work who were looking forward to having the weekend off, so they thought to themselves, "hey, Friday is my last day at work this week, so when I get off, it'll be the weekend". If you check any dictionary, you'll see that the weekend is actually only Saturday and Sunday, not Friday. Friday is just the last day of the work week, for most people. It's not the weekend.

Warez: Warez is, basically, full-version software, normally sold in stores or directly from the company that makes it, which has been illegally uploaded to the Internet for other people to download without paying for it. Downloading it is the same as shoplifting. It's a crime, and anyone who does download it is a criminal.

Politics: It's interesting to see people climbing over each other, under the pretense of doing what they think is best for everyone, as a whole. In actuality, however, Most politicians only do what they think is best for everyone who agrees with them and just end up bashing heads with anyone who doesn't.

Religion: People can't accept the fact that they're going to die, so they cling to an idea that tells them that they're going to live forever in some happy fantasy land, full of magic and wonder. It all starts with parents telling their kids that there is life after death (an oxymoron if I've ever heard one), and that belief being reinforced by what the rest of society tells them, plus the simple fact that believing they're never going to "really" die is much more preferable than accepting that their "soul" is nothing more than a combination of the subtle sensations produced by the movements of the organs of their body and, largely, electrical discharges within the brain. They convince themselves it's something mystical that will never die. When the kids grow up, they pass on this belief to their kids, and so on and so fourth. This "chain reaction" of wish fulfillment is the reason that 95 percent of the population is unwilling to accept reality for what it is. Simply put, God is Santa Claus for adults. Think about it.

The Internet: The Internet can be a useful tool, as well as a means of entertainment. The information on the net isn't always accurate, though, and there's a lot of _ography and advertising on it. It seems that the net is full of people either trying to get you to spend money for cybersex or to buy their product. About two-thirds of the websites on the net seem to be geared toward earning money for the webmaster.

Kids: I don't like kids, when they act like whining babies, always wanting something and screaming and crying when they don't get it, or when they run around in crowded places, laughing and giggling, like drunk monkeys. In fact, I immediately dislike any kid that acts that way. If kids are well behaved, they're fine. If they're not, keep them away from me, please.
