ABORTION: Touchy subject! In some instances, I could see it as being ok. But.. I’d be one to put the child up for adoption, myself.
TEENAGE SMOKING: Not good. You sure as hell wouldn’t catch me doing it. But if they want to screw themselves over, so be it.
EATING DISORDERS: what’s to think of them? Obviously, they aren’t good. It sucks that our society has the general belief that thinner is better… Unfortunately, it’s going to take a long while before that "ideal" is changed.
RAP: not my cup ‘o tea.
MARILYN MANSON: Smart man. Sure knows how to make money! Creative… I dig that.
GUY BANDS: One of the few things that can give me goosebumps in a matter of seconds from the lameness oozing off of them… what kind of country do we live in, a country that produces such vile evil?
DEATH: "Death is but a cobweb we brush through" – Morgan Llywelyn
JERRY SPRINGER: Can be funny sometimes – but it’s one of those things where you step back and wonder what’s happening to us when we begin to feed off of other people’s misfortunes…
RAPE: like eating disorders… what’s to think about it, you know? It’s bad.
SUICIDE: The coward’s way out.
SOUTH PARK: TIMMMMAY!!!!
GOD: don’t get me started…

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BREAKUP SONG?: Breakup song? Huh? People have breakup songs?
SILVER OR GOLD or PLATINUM: Silver, if I am buying it. Platinum, if I am receiving it.
