You certainly don't write like a 17 year old---that's a compliment by the way. But one day I hope your passion for issues will be infused with more understanding of them and empathy for the gray areas of each. The world is not black and white and that's how you (and a lot of young, naive people) see it.

You are 17. You haven't seen anything yet.

You're anti-everything because you are a rabidly fundamental christian, and god knows none of you people can ever live and let live. Nope, you have to get all up in everyone else's business and tell them how evil they are and how they're going to burn in hell unless they believe just like you do. It's people like you who keep gay hate alive. It's people like you who want to refuse a woman the right to control her own body. It's people like you who don't consider atheists to be "real Americans". And it's people like you who enslaved, bought, and sold your very own Haitian ancestors and considered them to be sub-humans.

Go ahead and vote however you want, little boy. Your kind of hatred is losing ground faster and faster. By the time you're my age, there's a good chance your beliefs will be in the minority.

I am NOT a liberal. And probably never will be. I do not agree with the liberal agenda being shoved down my throat and I certainly don't support it. I am Anti-choice. Anti-PETA. Anti-green. Anti-gay-marriage. And anti-feminists. This is simply unacceptable.

I am Anti-CHOICE. Because it is irresponsible! Yes, just leave the decision to abort a baby to the mother as if the father has no say. As if the mother had the single capability to have the child herself. This is so harebrained of liberals to think that pro-choice is the right choice. It is the wrong one and the reckless one! It will NEVER be right! That is MY BABY too (from a man's point of view). You do not have the right to decide that oh your going to kill my son/daughter just because you feel it is your feminine right. That is absolutely ridiculous. It takes two to tango! Oh and by the way, I am ANTI-abortion. How DARE you or anyone else abort a helpless child!!! My God! That is insanity!! None of OUR mothers aborted US!! Why do you get to get rid of your child just because YOU decided to get it twerking that night and took the risk involved?!! That child did not ask to be a "burden" on your life or come into life! It was because of you! It is not only your responsibility as a son/daughter that wasn't aborted yourself, it is your responsibility as a sane, functioning, human being with a HEART to have that child!!


I am Anti-PETA. I don't give two licks about PETA. They can screw themselves. They are animal worshipers. Human beings with zero self-esteem and zero love for other people. Their sole love resides in animals. That will not live long, cannot get you a job, cannot feed you, cannot keep you warm at night (if you know what I mean), etc. Animals are here for us! They are here for us to eat, some are to be made into toasty fur coats, some are made to protect us, and some are here to have a companionship with. That's all they are. Nothing more and nothing less. PETA is an organization full of freaks looking to make a quick buck off their feeling to save animals. As if those animals would save us in the wild.

I am ANTI-GREEN. I don't smoke, I don't use hairspray, I don't light firecrackers, I don't do anything that pollutes the freaking air. I've been doing what I've been doing since I was born and I can still breathe. Why should I care about being green when the people who are ruining Earth aren't stopping? Los Angeles, Detroit, China, India, Peru, etc. All those cities and countries with the most pollution ain't stopping their hazardous production despite the endless Green propaganda so you know what? Until then the Green-earth gallery can stick it where the sun don't shine.

I am ANTI-GAY-MARRIAGE. It doesn't make sense. Why? For what reason? Alot of gay couples have been together for years without having to get married and have been happy. Why now? Just to prove that gays can do yet another thing heterosexuals can? Just to have something else heterosexuals have? I don't think the gays realize just how much hard work and issues goes into marriage and how hard it is for it to last and how hard it is to divorce. Now just think how hard it is for a heterosexual couple to divorce. It's not going to be any easier for the gays. Now that I gave given you a plausible reason why I an anti-gay-marriage, now I will give you another reason from a religious standpoint. It goes against the sanctity of marriage. Yes. I repeat. The sanctity of it. Because that word and meaning still exists in this country. People have forgot for some reason watching generations of MTV that there still things that are sacred. I am a Christian man (young man) and I not ashamed to be one. God clearly stated that a marriage is between a man and a woman ONLY. And what God says is so. America can try to uphold the law that says gays can become married but it will only be in vain. They won't truly be joined together as one and they will not have the true joy that comes from a union God put together and upheld and blessed. What the gays are truly doing is igniting the wrath of God. You don't have to like what I say. But you should take heed because it doesn't matter if you don't believe or not, watch out cause hes not playing with anyone here.

I am ANTI-FEMINIST. I believe that women should vote and do college and all the fundamental rights of society as it has been for 100 years. I have never thought otherwise. I was raised mainly by my mom so I understand women more than most guys. BUT, I am NOT for women that like to dominate men just because they can. I am NOT for women that like take the integrity and masculinity away from a man because they feel liberated. I am NOT for women that think they can do everything a man can because that is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. Man can't do everything women can do so what makes some women think they do everything a man can? That is simply demented. I believe that while we all have the same basic rights, we do NOT have the same gender roles in society. I don't believe it is right that nowadays men are doing everything that women used to do and women are doing everything men used to do. I'm not talking about cooking, cleaning, jobs, etc. Whatever your preconceived notions are. I'm talking about something as simple as clothes, hair, shoes, makeup. There ALOT of guys of my generation nowadays wearing women jeans, doing makeup, wearing their hair like women, wearing women's earrings and other things. I see alot of girls wearing baggy shorts, sagging their pants, cutting their hair near bald, piercings in every place you could imagine, tatted up like a guy. Just things that usually attracted the opposite sex, it's REVERSE now.
And even when it's normal gender style clothing, it's TOO MUCH and sends a DIFFERENT message than back in the days of our grandparents when folk had respect and class even at 18 years of age. All I'm saying is women are feminine and men are masculine for a reason!! Feminist have brainwashed some women into thinking otherwise.

So why I am going to vote as a conservative Republican? Because I want a return to the traditional family values and fundamental principles this nation was founded on. I don't like the way the country is going. No one has any regard for the children anymore. We have gay parades, polygamist, and child molesters in our face and children's like it is nothing! The Liberals try to protest to the government to change the structure of the military and the sanctity of marriage and feminist want pro-choice. And the scary thing is how much power they have. When a majority of the nation condemns and votes "NO" to these things and one judge says "Yes" and can change everything, somethings gotta give. I certainly won't stand for it this November when I come of age which is before then. I refuse to sit back and let the moral and conscientious degradation of America continue and let this country go to hell. This November I will fight for what's left of the rights of the honorable traditional American family, the republican right-wing, and of the Christian people. I don't need hand outs from anyone. I want to make my own money the good ol' way. Hard work and perseverance. This November I will take a stand against the Liberal agenda and will stand for God unapologetic and without shame.
Perhaps you should go back to Haiti then since your views are so "progressive" it still makes your Nation the poorest one in the Western Hemisphere!

While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, some aspects of life are not understood without experience, which you sorely lack. In time, you will learn that no one is infallible; ergo, mistakes (including unplanned pregnancies), will occur despite one’s best efforts. Believe it or not, with rare exceptions, few women relish the thought of terminating a pregnancy. In fact, for most, it is an excruciatingly painful decision. I also value the unborn life, but the choice should be available, and you, nor anyone else, can pass judgment.

Tell me, should a woman die rather than terminate a life-threatening pregnancy?

BTW, if a woman can “take the integrity and masculinity away from a man” he didn’t have it to begin with.

I sometimes get amused by anyone claiming to be a minority that is anti-gay.

"I don't believe in gay marriage"? Well, some people don't believe Haitians should marry white people. There's lots of seemingly well thought out, almost academic sounding rationales out there for why interracial marriage is bad, against God's plan (Tower of Babel, anyone?), social ramifications, etc..... but yet, as a people and country, we have decided that "the government" (and, therefore, other people), should have no say or power to restrict marriage in such a way, because people should be free to live their lives.

That essential "freedom" component is missing from mainstream Republicanism, despite their cries of defending same. Socialists want to destroy social class and take your money. Republicans want conformity of thought and behavior. I don't know why Republicans think that's any better!

EXACTLY.

Freedom? Only from government intrusion into the wallet. Into private affairs, they not only welcome the government in, but DEMAND the government step in!
