I'm new so i thought i'd introduce myself 3nodding
My name is lydia but most people in my life and online call me lydi. I'm 20 years old, and i live in Holland. I've been in a relationship (still am!) for 3 years and a few months or so. I'm one of those sloppy happy lovey-dovey couples.
Now, lets see.
1) Abortion. - I don't see a problem if the woman wishes to have an abortion. It's not fair for a woman to have a child she doesn't want. For instances in rape cases. Myself i would not have abortions unless for some reason the father of the child wasn't my boyfriend.
2) Teen sex. - If a teenager decides to be intimate, then i would hope he/she would know some(or all!) of the consequences that could happen if they do not use protection. I'm not really against it, but i'm not really for it either as well.
3) Teen pregnancy. - It happens. It's sometimes sad to see these kids drop out of school, because they have created bigger priorities to take care of.
4) Gay marriage. - Nothing against gay marriages. Why can't gay people be with the ones they love as well?
5) Sexual preference. - Be with who you want to be is what i say!
6) Suicide. - This i have a problem with. I don't think it's right to end your own life. Suicide is not the answer to any sort of problem, there will always be another solution. A mother and father should not have to see their child being buried. Even if the child feels hated, even by parents. Suicide is not the answer.
7) Self-harm. - I personally don't see the reason for it. I hear its an outlet and it does help people. It's something i can't comprehend though, perhaps i never will. So i guess i'll leave this topic alone!
Hey...where's 8?
9) Love. - I do believe in love, yes. It can be complicated, it can be messy, it can be hurtful. All sorts of kinds of love.
10) Drugs and Alcohol. - There are good drugs and bad drugs. I say stay away from the bad and only stick with what is going to help you, not deteriorate and rot your brain cells. Speaking of loosing brain cells...Alcohol. I'm a casual drinker these days....Alcohol can cause problems, but people have to know their limit as well. Not against either.
11) Religion - Something i've always been confused with. My father used to be a christian, is now an athiest. My mother is a muslim and has tried to raise me as a muslim, but my heart isn't in it, nor do i like to be forced into something that i truly do not believe. I respect those that believe in their religion and praise it. I'm fascinated as well with all the kinds of religions around the world. But for me, i'm an athiest.

Hey, I'm Jess.
I'm 14
(Just turned n_n)
I used to hang out on the LI forums a little and joined the Anti-love guild.
I've been inactive for a long time
but I want to get back into this jazz.
Everytime i see the GD though, i just exit the window, i used to hang out there alot, but it's gone downhill even from when I was there, where it wasn't ace anyways.
I always found the ED too mature.
But I shall try to stay on this here website
I've been on for just over a year I think.
I'm going to try and be more active 'cause I think i'll need alot of help, life is getting HARD
I tell you now.
"I'm so emo, i s**t razorblades"
ahem
I'm not emo, I swear.
Much.
>_>
<_<
My opinions
1) Abortion.
Totally pro-choice, if the baby was an accident, then it shouldn't have to be brought into a world where it's unwanted, and an un-necessary burden. It's also strain on the mother, if she didn't want the child in the first place, then had to spend all her time looking after it, it's absurd. Pregnancy, I'd imagine, is hard aswell, so even if she was to put it up for adoption after birth, she'd still have to go through the horrible process, and then might feel maternal once she's had the child, only to regret it later on.
It's stupid to have to go through all that for one mistake.
Pro-choice, wee-woo-wee-woo
2) Teen sex.
This is an odd one. There is an opinion in me that says that if the person feels ready for it, then age shouldn't matter. Alas, there are limits when you actually KNOW if you're ready or not. At the age of say, 14, my age, wheeee, a person might feel like they're totally in love and their boyfriend/girlfriend is the best thing that happened to them ,and they wanted to have sex, i know for a fact, that those feelings won't last, you can't be sure at our age, people are too fickle really.
3) Teen pregnancy.
A sticky situation, bit of a life ruiner really. Then again, some peopel want that, some people want a child. Not my thing really. Not at teenage age really, you have your whole life ahead of you....
4) Gay marriage.
I think it should be allowed. It's only two people after all. I thought it was already allowed.. I don't understnad people's prejudice against Gay people. It's silly.
5) Sexual preference.
One person can love any other person they choose.
Simple as.
6) Suicide.
Totally and utterly stupid. Then again, if life's reeeaaally that bad. But those are pretty extreme circumstances.
7) Self-harm.
Worse than suicide.
9) Love.
Confusing.
10) Drugs and Alcohol.
You missed out Sex, and Rock n' Roll.
hah, no really, i don't understand some people's obsessions with the age limits, and the way that canabbis is illegal, Tobacco is much worse. I think that within reason, if you're going to drink at all, it doesn't really matter when you start, i mean, some ages are ABSURD but at about 13/14 most (I say most) people are responsible enough to know what they want to try out. there are health risks, yes, but there are health risks when you're eighteen.
So what.
We all eat McDonalds, no?
(not all, but a HELL of a lot)
11) Religion.
Whatever floats your boat.
I don't get it though.
I can't base my life around fairy tales.

Hi.
I just joined the guild. So, briefly a bit about me well as you might be able to tell from my name, I love astronomy. ^_^ Almost all science I guess. I want to be an astronomer someday. Right now I'm in my second year of university studying astrophysics. w00t. lol
So, my opinions:
1) Abortion - I'm not too sure. Since I'm Chrisitan my religion says I should be against it, but then I know if I were in certian situations I'd do it. So I'm torn between what I want to believe and what my religion says I should believe. ... I don't want to talk about it more then that.
2) Teen sex - I stand by the whole "don't have sex until your married" ... or I'll stretch that to being engaged. Other then that no.
3) Teen pregnancy - Well if you do have sex and get pregnant well then you're going to have to deal with that. It's not the best thing, and it's up to the individual to decide what to do in their situation.
4) Gay marriage - I'm don't agree with it, but then if 2 people really love each other then they should get married.
5) Sexual preference - I don't agree with people being bi or gay or any of that, but then I can't change people so I'll accept them for who they are.
6) Suicide - It's horrible and doesn't solve anything. Nothing can really be that bad.
7) Self-harm - I can't understand why anyone would do that. Like suicide it doesn't solve anything.
9) Love - you can find true love. And I believe that everyone, if it's ment to be, has a soul mate out there.
10) Drugs and Alcohol - the only good drugs are medicines that the doctor gives you to make you better if you're sick. Other then that it's all bad and I don't drink or do drugs. I don't really have a problem with other people drinking or doing drugs tho. It's their own bodies that they're ruining so it's up to them.
11) Religion - I'm a Christian, like I said already, so I do beleive that it is the right way and all that, but then I'm not going to start bashing people over the head trying to get them to convert. That accomplishes nothing. I like to wait for people to come to me and talk about it.

I'm new here. ^_^ Girl, 18 years old, living in the Netherlands, love to read, write and play videogames. The basic stuff. I study journalism which is a horrible thing to do, lol.
Anyway, as for the spicy questions, if anyone cares at all..
1) Abortion.
I'm pro abortion. It should NOT be illegal. Abortion is a matter of opinion, just like homosexuality is. Such opinions should not be in the law.
2) Teen sex.
Fine. As long as both are ready for it, and willing to do it, even if they're 12 years old.. Why not? I myself was 14..
3) Teen pregnancy.
Not a good thing. Not something I want, anyway. Teens should pay close attention. I also believe there is not enough education on the matter.
4) Gay marriage.
Pro. It should certainly NOT be made illegal.. Homosexuality is no disease.
5) Sexual preference (your views, not your own sexual preference).
Again, being homosexual or bisexual is no disease. It can be hard to accept, but if everyone would be a bit more tolerant.. Child adoption by homosexual couples should also fully be possible, which isn't, at the moment.
6) Suicide.
If one has the right to live, then one also has the right to die. Saving someone from suicide by force should not be done..
7) Self-harm.
Stupid, and in most cases, attention-seekers do it. But it can be a serious problem, and self-cutters and the like should be helped better than they are now. Not the attentionseekers, but those that are in real need of help.
9) Love.
Great thing. 4laugh
10) Drugs and Alcohol.
Weed is good, alcohol and harddrugs are not. I think that pretty much sums it up. Illigalizing weed is stupid; then one should also forbid people to smoke and drink.
11) Religion.
I'm sort of Christian myself. I believe in God. Religion is fine, but should not be forced upon another. It also should not limit the freedom of those who don't want to commit to that religion, such as Christians wanting to ban homosexuality and the like.
Voila.
mrgreen

I'm a terrible person, and I like to hurt small animals including women.
That's my full introduction. Now onto my stances:
1) Abortion.
Abortion is wonderful, I think more people should do it. I think that not enough parents have tried abortion, so they don't know what they are missing out on. Even if you want a child, you could still have an abortion and start over, be creative! That's the key to happiness.
2) Teen sex.
My only problem with teen sex is that it's illegal for me to be involved in it.
3) Teen pregnancy.
I think it would be very painful if a woman was still carrying her child into the teenaged years.
4) Gay marriage.
This is an oxymoron, no marriage is a happy marriage.
5) Sexual preference (your views, not your own sexual preference).
I am in favor of all forms of gender discrimination.
6) Suicide.
Suicide is bad for the economy. There are entire drug companies that rely on selling these people pills, without them, it could seriously detriment the pharmaceutical industry.
7) Self-harm.
Once, when I was younger, and less agile, I was wandering through my house on a sacred mission, when I tripped over a stool and hurt my knee.
9) Love.
Money.
10) Drugs and Alcohol.
Worthless and harmful, but do what you want as long as it doesn't hurt me.
11) Religion.
See drugs and alcohol.
In conclusion, women suck.

I think you're being too harsh. The Peabody Pirates are not prejudiced 85% of the time. I mean, you'd probably consider eating at an eating establishment if the health inspector gave it 85%.

Hello all, I am RainbowSquirrel. You can call me Squirrel, or Nicole. Either which I don't really mind. My background. I'm Bipolar, I have depression, I have an anxiety disorder, issues with paranoia, self injury (cutting), and I hope, that is all.
My background is I am a female, I am from the United States, Illinois. I am 17 years old, and still live with my parents and go to a local high school. I plan to go to college to learn to be a Medical Transcriptionist, and to eventually get out on my own. I have been hospitalized many times for my illnesses, and I am not proud of that. It is something I am working through. Having thought I was done with all of these issues as my four year mark came around over 'not being in the hospital' I was then put in one. Go figure.
How I feel on, and yes this is only my opinion.
1) Abortion. Abortion is wrong in most cases. As my mother always told me. If you're old and mature enough to have sex, then you're old and mature enough to take care of a baby. If you can't take care and support a child the way it deserves, then don't have sex. Rape, is a different story. And would probably be my only acception.
2) Teen sex. Teen sex is iggnorant. I think that if you are ready to have sex, then go for it. Keep in mind however that you will pay for whatever consequinces there are. If you get lucky, that's great. That doesn't mean you make yourself a sex-aholic.
3) Teen pregnancy. In my highschool I see many girls whom are now pregnant, and some who have already had their children. Most of them are doing well for themselves, but they are no longer in school or are taking a serious break from education. That isn't the best decision. But sometimes it can't be helped.
4) Gay marriage. I have friends that are gay, and they have chosen a lifestyle. Whatever their preference is, as long as they dont' flaunt it in my face, or corrupt my lifestyle then so be it. Everyone has a right to happiness.
5) Sexual preference (your views, not your own sexual preference). Who you date, and who you like are your own choices, they are not mine, and I am not your mother. Therefor I do not run your life.
6) Suicide. Suicide is a last resort. There is no coming back, no bringing someone/yourself back from the grave. It is the most complete end that you could ever imagine. Do I know where you go after you kill yourself? No, I do not. It's a foolish decision, but I can understand why some people have chosen that, and why some people view it as a way out, because ultimately, it is a way out. It's an escape from life and having to deal with your problems.
7) Self-harm. Self-harm is a horrible way of dealing with your issues, I know this. I really don't have much room to speak about how horrible it is but ultimately it doesn't help. From my own experiance I am consistantly reminded of all the scars I have all over my body. I see them daily, and it is a reminder as to what has happened. Not healthy by any means. Sometimes I can see how it is justified but that is no reason to continually kill yourself slowly by the use of some S.I. I know that it is all some of us have to deal with our problems but there has to be something better out there! I just have yet to find something that helps me feel as numb as cutting does.
9) Love. Eh'... Love is complicated. Love hurts. Love is a risk. Love is dangerous. True love is patient, and kind. True love is not judgemental. It is accepting. Good luck finding that, lord knows I haven't found it.
10) Drugs and Alcohol. None of them are really good, but I have issues with drugs, and the people that go with them. It's hard to deal with sometimes. I am perscribed medication, though that isn't an actual drug. Sometimes it gives me the same high, does that mean it should be illegal? I have no clue. Really it's all on what works for you. Is it the best way to deal with things? Probably not, but that doesn't mean anyone else is any better.
11) Religion. Screw Religion. I see no God, I feel no god. I believe in, no god.
End of story? I believe so.

Hiya.
I'm an eighteen year old college freshman. (That seems to roll off my fingers as easily as my password nowadays, I wonder what will happen next year when I'm nineteen and sophomore.) I live in Illinois and am female.
I spend my spare time playing video games, reading, working backstage, eating stuffed crust meat lover's pizza, going on the internet, and giving people advice.
That last bit is why I'm here, of course. I like to make people feel better, if only by teaching them how to do derivitives or something dumb.
My status on things is, basically, if it makes you happy and you won't regret it, go for it. But I will answer each of the points individualy because... it seems like the thing to do.
1) Abortion.
I wouldn't do it myself, I know I'd regret it too much. But some people are sure the pregnancy has worse concequences in the long run. Also think it is for the female to decide, but should alwys talk to the people who love her.
2) Teen sex.
I think most teenagers are too immature, I know I am. But just as long as they do it safely and are willing to accept the concequences, fine.
3) Teen pregnancy.
Happens, just like "adult" pregnancy. Again, I don't think most teens are mature enough, but if she's pregnant already, all you can do is deal with it.
4) Gay marriage.
Well, you don't have to worry about teen pregnancy. xP But seriously, I think if straight couples can marry, so should gay ones. at least in the eyes of the law.
5) Sexual preference
Whatever you like to do, go for it. Kinda creeps me out when lesbians get a big obvious crush on me, but it's the same way with guys I don't like. So, *shrug*
6) Suicide.
It's your body, not mine. You have to realize, though, that you're taking a big chance of missing out on great things in the future, or at least interesting things. Doing it for attention is dumb, as there's no way to feel attention when you're dead. At least as far as I know.
And if you die, I'll miss you. Even if I don't know you.
7) Self-harm.
See 6. And there have to be better ways to release the pain, or whatever people do it for. Can't claim to understand
9) Love.
Ah ha, my most cynical subject. I don't believe in soulmates, first off. I have a hard time believing that one person can be just for you.
And all these people talking about "love" seem to be just blinding themselves.
My definition of love though, and I love everyone, is diffrent. Love to me is caring about another person's feelings even if you think they're wrong and stupid and dumb and someother downing words.
10) Drugs and Alcohol.
Waste of time, there are better things to do without the health risks. If you want to though, fine. Just be aware of the concequences.
11) Religion.
I say I am an athiest because it's easier. But I believe i whatever you believe, I believe we create our own world.
So if you truly believe there is a god, there is. For you.
I don't stand with all this "I'm right, you're wrong" crap. So religion itself sucks.
Growing up, mother always told me that America being a free country meant that I could do whatever I wanted as long as I didn't hurt anyone else - that has affected my philosophy the most. I have changed it a bit though, because hurting yourself is no fun. So do what you won't regret.

Hi, everyone. Outside Gaia I'm a fifteen year old girl going to high school. I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, and helping people with their problems.
My stands:
1) Abortion.
I'm definately against abortion. I have been for a few years now and I find it a hard sunject to argue. There are good arguements for both sides and I don't really want to get involved unless I have to.
2) Teen sex.
Again, against it. I feel sex should be reserved for marriage and most teenagers have sex then the girls get pregnant and many problems occur. Sex is an adult thing and I think only adults should do it.
3) Teen pregnancy.
I think teenage girls shouldn't get pregnant because most of them do not know how to be responsible for a child yet. If a girl should get pregnant, it is my opinion that she gives the child up for adoption so a couple that cannot have children can adopt one.
4) Gay marriage.
For the most part, I am not against it. Marriage should be about love, not gender. If gays want to be married, why shouldn't they be allowed to? It is a free country, isn't it?
5) Sexual preference.
Absolutely fine with me. I do not see any problems with it.
4) Suicide.
I think suicide is an easy way out only wimps take. If a person's problems are really that bad, why don't they get help to fix them so they can continue to enjoy life? You only get one, so why end it early?
5) Self-harm.
I feel bad for people who resort to hurting themselves to ease pain. Wouldn't it cause more pain for yourself and your mind? I don't understand it. Wouldn't it be hard to see your family and friends suffer from seeing you hurt yourself?
6) Love.
I think love is a very strong thing that cannot be chosen. It's something from the heart...and people should be happy in life with loved ones.
7) Drugs and Alcohol.
I don't like any of them. Too many deaths result it them.
9) Religion.
My family is Christian and I think I might be, too. I'm at the point in my life where I've decided not to follow what my parents think and form my own self. For example, both my mom and dad are strong conservative republicans. I am independant. I am both liberal and conservative in different ways. As for religion, I need to know more about each one before I decide. In the mean time, I am what I grew up following.

Me? Not much to tell there... I've never tried anything, really. Recently started social smoking (If that even exists) but other than that... A really boring childhood.
My native language is not English, so if I make any grammar mistakes, its because of that.
Even though I havent tried much, I'm good at logic and how to deal with certain cases. I'm not always afraid of admiting my mistakes or wrongs, but if I'm in a mood, I'm very hard to convince I'm wrong.
1) Abortion.
Womans choice, really. I'm pro-choice and have already decided what to do if my boyfriend gets me pregnant before I'm done with my education. No one can make me change my mind. Many have tried, but none have succeeded.
2) Teen sex.
I think its stupid, but to each their own. As long as they dont help make the world even more over populated, I dont really care. I'm getting tired of having to fight off people who wants me to donate to tsunamies, earthquakes and all those other things. I believe they happen for a reason.
3) Teen pregnancy.
Can you get more stupid? No offense meant to any one, but if you're under the age of 22, you really shouldnt have a kid. It ruins the teens life and their education and thats just really really dumb.
4) Gay marriage.
I'm Bisexsual myself with a homosexsual best friend, so I really shouldnt have to explain more about how much I support it.
5) Sexual preference (your views, not your own sexual preference).
Again, to each their own. If you're a guy and cant stand a girls touch, cool. I dont care. Just dont be more feminin than me, ok?
6) Suicide.
Been there, didnt do it. Why would you? If you're at the point where you think suicide is next, can it get any worse?
7) Self-harm.
If you do it to relieve pain like one of my friends do, then I can tolerate it, but if you do it just for attention... Go fly in Heaven, ok?
9) Love.
I believe it exists, but I also know that its not in your heart, but in a part of your brain.
10) Drugs and Alcohol.
Drugs: So against it I threatened one of my friends with blocking him from my life totally if he as much as thought about trying it.
Alcohol: I dont really have an opinion on this, actually. I do just fine at parties without it and I act as if I'm drunk, even though I could hardly be more sober.
11) Religion.
Again, to each their own. I have mine, you have yours. There's really not more to it than that. I love discussing it, though and explaining to "poor christians" what satanism really is.
These are my views on the different things. Please dont take any offense from what I've written, seeing as it is my views and I'm not intending to look down at any one. The "poor christians" is more of a joke, since I know a lot of christians who thinks The Church of Satan is about sacrificing animals and babies and other evil stuff.

I'll start out with the basics of course. X3 My name is Goobie, Goobs, Mur, "Hey you with the face." I'm in high school and am thinking of maybe going to Wyo Tech once I graduate.
I love everything from musicals with happy endings to dark noir films with nothing but lonely streets and cold-hearted mobsters.
Music-wise I like almost everything except for rap with a lot of cussing in it, gospel, and country. My favorites include The Sex Pistols, David Bowie, Etta James, Miles Davis, the Rolling Stones, Queen, Mott the Hoople, Frank Sinatra...
Abortion:
I'm pro choice because I believe that it should be a person's right to choose, and by 'people' I mean both the mother and the father, because it effects both not just one. The only time when I'm against it is when it's used as a form of birth control.
Teen Sex:
My stand on teen sex is that if one isn't ready to deal with the results of sex than one shouldn't be having sex in the first place, simply because it's not fair to anyone.
I think that if I met the right person than sex wouldn't be out of the question but I'm still not having sex until I'm ready and able to take care of a child.
Teen Pregnancy:
Most of the teenagers that I know that are having sex are the type that wouldn't want to give up their Saturdays to take care of a child. These are people that wouldn't want to stay up until it's time to maybe go to school because the boogie man is back and what not. Sadly, it seems that this is the norm for girls and guys my age. If I was pregnant than I'd have probably thought it out a million times before even starting to go down that road. It seems to me that teenagers today are more excited about going shopping, or who's taking who to the dance or whatever it is that other kids my age are doing...
Gay Marriage:
I think that marriage should be allowed for everyone. Whenever someone brings this subject up and wants an honest opinion I always react the same. I can't believe that it was ever even up for debate because people are people; flesh and blood no matter if they're gay or not.
Another thing that has come up that is kind of related to this is about adoption for gay couples. Again, it seems rediculous to me that this was ever even up for debate. Now, my sister went through the system when she was younger and it's not good at all. Why lower the chances of a child getting a family that will love them by singling out a group of people that can't necessarily have children with the one that they love?
Sexual Preferance:
My opinion on this is that I honestly don't care if someone is gay or if they're straight. I'm an ally, so I'm proud when someone has the courage to "come out of the closet" because there's so much prejudice in the world...
Suicide/Self Harm:
This is something that hits home for me, that I am absolutley firmly against. I just think that there's so much more that someone could do with their life other then suicide/self harm. I know that when I was having problems I did a lot of stupid stuff. Something that helped me was helping others in any way that I could.
Love:
Love to me is something that happens when you're ready to recieve it. I choose to believe that there's always someone out there for us. I have to say that I love the idea of waking up next to my very own version of Don Lockwood... Or Drop Dead Fred. <3
I tend to look at love from two different view points depending on my mood. When I'm in a bad mood or thinking about relationships that I've been in I tend to lean toward love being unrealistic or unreachable to some. But, for the most part I believe that love is a wealth that should be given freely and without doubt, and that love isn't love if it changes on a whim.
Drugs and Alcohol:
I also look at this from two different view points. I know that if my friends were using drugs or drinking alcohol I would be worried because I know that it's probably because of them going through something difficult. I could never dessert someone that I was close to because of something like this...
Religion:
I'm open to all religions. The only thing that I think is wrong with religion, like everything, are the fanatics. I don't know how it is for other people on here but I like to learn new things about religions. I don't read up on it a lot, but when the opprotunity presents itself, I don't mind listening to someone who really loves and believes that what they worship, or don't, is right. On the other hand, generally rude, fire and brimstone kind of people really light my bastes my turkey. >.<;;
Pirates: >> Are sexy beasts. pirate
I know that this is long and I'm sorry for that and if I managed to offend anyone in my some-what lengthy introduction because that was never my intention.
<3

First I'd like to say thank you for having me here.
Now onto introducing myself.
My nic? I once played a game called Ceasar and came up with Dugustus (a Romanization of my professional nic DJ_Dug) and have used on all sorts of forums ever since. I type really quick so henseforth I offer appologies to anyone whom is offended by poor grammar or typing because I make alot of such mistakes.
Music is really my thing it's the basis of my business. By Gaia standards I'm an old fart but I've been around the block a few times. Troubles I've had aplenty in both my youth and adult life and I'm still in one piece (thankfully) I'd be happy to be a sounding board for anyone who needs it.
On to the questions:
Abortion: I'm prochoice, and agree that both the man and the woman should have equal imput in the decision process. However, its the woman's body so I think the final decision is her's to make however I don't think she should be able to claim support if they arn't in agreement. Sure he coulda wrapped his willie but so to could she have used some form of Birth control.
Teen Sex: If you really think you're ready then go for it just remember to make sure that willie's wrapped or you coulld be getting into more problems than you could ever imagine.
Teen Pregnancy: Well...It happens, and it usually spells the end to any dreams of being really sucessful in life. Usually but not always the parents arn't (I hate to say this as I respect that teen's are usually more aware than they are given credit for) ready for the challange and the fact that they face either giving up the child or giving up being a teen.
Gay Marriage: Good idea as long as they don't force churches to do it. I
Sexual Preferance: To each their own I suppose, although straight sex done right is more fun I think. Also it sometimes pains me to see so many gay men that are only gay because they lack the courage to be with women.
Suicide/Self Harm: Hmmm.....Suicide is something that I'm a real failure at. Having tried it many times and many ways and somehow allways messed it up. Although now I'm very thankfull that I never succeeded. I have a somewhat unique view on it if your grosly disabled, in constant uncurable physical pain, and don't want to continue or say you just can't stop yourself from being a mass murderer than by all means do it but brush your teeth first. If your in the prime of your life, with your whole life ahead of you because things are so bad right now doesn't mean they will always be so, and there will be people in your life that will have a more enriched life becuase they will someday meet you and beyond all that there are friends you haven't met, lovers you haven't pleased yet, deeds and adventures yet unaccomplished don't allow your anguish to rob you of all that.
Love: that's really a tricky one. Often sought for, often fought for, question is what for. Love is a wonderful thing, painful when it ends (or when it won't but needs to), but worth it.
Drugs and Alcohol: Booze is rather a bad thing all round, but in moderation it does have it's good points. Being drunk isn't one of them. Some drugs are ok and some arn't. I think pots ok but if your still in school or have a job that requires you to be clear headed then being a pot head will mess you up good luck succeeding at making the grade. If your content to be saying 'would you like a bag with that' for the rest of your life then by all means toke up. If you want more out of life than that at least wait until your brain has finished growing before getting into drugs. Acid and one trip wonders like it are your own choice if you can handle such things. Crack and Meth are simply bad, addictive life destroyers.
Religion: to steal a quote "one man's Religion is another man's belly laugh", I try to give respect to any religion that respects me and endorses equallity among men and women.
So....there you go if you've taken the time to read all this you have my thanks.

1) Abortion.
Tricky, I guess Im pro-choice but I prefer not to discuss this(due to huge amounts of extremists.)
2) Teen sex.
I believe in an age restriction of 16, but I am for the idea of teaching younger kids about sex. Maturity counts a lot.
3) Teen pregnancy.
I am against it, because I believe that most kids are not mature enough to have a child.
4) Gay marriage.
I believe that a person is entitled to choose who he wants to mary who he/she wants.
5) Sexual preference (your views, not your own sexual preference).
We all have the freedom to choose our sexuality, and I for one support this.
6) Suicide.
I believe a man in serious pains should be able to commit suicide( Pro active death help).
7) Self-harm.
Against.
9) Love.
No opinion.
10) Drugs and Alcohol.
Not really a fan of drugs, but alcohol should have more restricted rules of purchase.
11) Religion.
Atheist.
