Preach it, brother!**My

Preach it, brother!**

My controversial opinions:

- I agree with virtually everything you've posted, so that shortens my list considerably.

- I am pro-abortion.  I'm not just pro-choice.  I believe abortion should be encouraged, particularly to underprivileged teens.  I think the government ought to pay for anyone below the poverty line to get an abortion.  I think people should only have a child when they are financially and emotionally prepared, which is virtually never.  To that end, I think abortion is awesome.  I love it.

- I believe children should not be sheltered.  They should see Janet's boob.  (Well, maybe that's a bad example, but you get the point.)  They should see human sexuality as a natural part of being human.  I don't think we need X-rated tv during daytime or primetime hours, but I've never met a person who was scarred by seeing healthy sexuality, or even healthy sex.  (I think people are scarred by their religious reaction to it, but that's different.  Seeing it didn't scar them.  Their indoctrination scarred them.)

- Speaking of abortion, I believe that humans have already killed themselves as a species, and we're going to take every other major species with us when we go.  There will be a mass extinction event soon (in geological time).  We will not decrease our birth rates, and our lifespans will stay long.  We will not reduce consumption, nor will we construct ecologically sound food production industries.  We will fish the ocean until there's nothing but jellyfish left.

- Speaking of extinction, global warming is real.  It will kill us.  We won't do anything to stop it.

- Speaking of mass extinction, I think it's next to criminal to have more than two children.

- Speaking of mass extinction, I think it's criminal to go to extraordinary lengths to keep babies alive when their bodies are trying really hard to die.  Natural selection, bitches.  It's fucking selfish to keep a deformed or sick baby alive just so you don't have to cry for a few weeks because your baby died.

- Marriage should be avoided until you decide to have a child, or are getting old enough to think about passing on your things.  People should have several relationships, and getting married too young is just asking for unhappiness.  Expecting a single relationship to last through your 20s, 30s, and 40s, is naive.  If it happens, great for you, but most people are not so lucky.  When a relationship sucks, you should leave.  You should always practice birth control so that you can leave if you need to.

- Speaking of divorce, the science is clear.  Staying together "for the sake of the children" is bullshit.  Children are better off in a household where both parents like each other.  When money is not a factor, children from single parent families are just as well adjusted as those from two parent families.  If you don't want to raise a child by yourself, wait until you're at least 30 to have a child.  Marriages tend to last a lot longer when both people are above 30.

- Everyone in America is fucking fat.  I am so fucking tired of muffin tops.  I am turned off by big asses.  I don't like huge saggy boobs.  America is fucking fat because the food industry wants us fat, and they keep marketing low-nutrition, high fat foods, especially to children and poor people.  Children need to be outside playing.  Video games and potato chips are making us fat.  The boogie man is not going to abduct your child.  Make them play outside.

- The pharmaceutical company is nearly a criminal organization.  Their goal is not to make us well, but to keep us sick.  Fuck "Restless Leg Syndrome."  When there are ads for a psoriasis medicine that has "melanoma" listed as a potential side effect, it's time to reevaluate the industry.

- Alcoholism is not a problem.  People have problems and become alcoholics.  The legal drinking age should be 18, not 21.  Parents, if they were smart, would go have a beer with their children on their 21st birthday.

That's all I can think of at the moment.  Gee.  I feel much better now.  That was a good rant.

 

 

 

** In this context, I mean "brother" in the racial context, with all of its implications of Southern Black churches, Hammond B-3 organs, and potlucks with fried chicken.  I'm white, and I love fried chicken.  How's that for controversy?
