TRUE. Given our failure to learn from history, I believe this will be inevitable.

FALSE: heh-heh

what?
4. I think that people, for the most part, are good hearted:
True. Or at least I’d like to think so.

Most defintely. I think alcohol is far more dangerous.

True, in a way. I don’t care a bit about being successful in the context of having a lot of money. I’d much rather be successful in the areas I care about, i.e. being a parent, a writer, etc.
7. I believe in God/A God:
Yes. No explanation, I just do.

10. There are other forms of intellegent life somewhere out there:

Truer words were never spoken.

True…or am I lying?

  4. I think that people, for the most part, are good hearted:
    True. I really do think this.
  5. Pot should be legalized:
    True. I don’t believe in a victimless crime. The drug war has spiraled out of control. I just don’t see the logic in imprisoning a guy for 40 years because a police officer finds a bit of pot in his pocket.
  6. Success means nothing to me:
    False. I would like to have a big pile of cash, a trophy wife, and run unsuccessfully for Governor of California.
  7. I believe in God/A God:
    False. I haven’t seen sufficient evidence for a God. God is another way to explain the world, and there are better ways to explain the world today. Why not believe in Odin and treat the Elder Eddas as a holy book?

    False. There are legitimate reasons to kill somebody - self defense.

    False. I have never had a paranormal experience.

    True.

    True. It does, especially in small local elections. It certainly can in national elections - Florida, 2000.
  15. I would NEVER cheat on a boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband:
    False, but I only say that because I don’t like saying never. I probably wouldn’t.
  16. The world is slowly going to hell:
    I don’t really know. All I can say is that if it does, I blame the Bush administration. But I don’t think it will. Life goes on. It always goes on.
  17. People should enjoy the simplier and finer things in life:
    True. There is too much focus in the US about work, work, work…I think it would be better if companies had long paid vacations. They should not just be for the rich.
  18. The world today would be a lot better if Hitler never existed:
    False. I don’t really care for alternative universe scenarios, but if he hadn’t existed, there could very well have been somebody to take his place.
  19. I’ve told a lie within the last month:
    True.
  20. I have self confidence, a good self esteem, and believe in myself:
    True, essentially. I don’t get depressed very easily. If I do, I can always read old threads from Great Debates in which a newbie who is a diehard fundamentalist Christian gets clobbered by everybody here. That always reminds me that there are stupider people in the world than me. Alternatively, I can think of Gigli or Dumb and Dumberer.
