The "controversial" (*gasp*) survey

[01] Do you have the guts to answer these Q's and re post as The Controversial Survey?
I couldn't resist :-)

[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
Would you stick your finger in a power socket if it didn't have a cover? ie. "No".

[03] Abortion: for or against it?
As a former fetus, i'm against abortion. We don't like being poked, prodded, or pulled, and certainly not poisoned. Why do all bad things start with "p"?

[04] Do you think the world would fall with a female president?
The world is already fallen - false premise. Second, the anti-Christ will almost certainly be a man, so I think we can safely say that a woman can ruin the world, but not cause to fall. Men already took care of that nicely.

[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
That sounds funny, like you're not sure whether or not it exists. Yes, I do, for extreme cases beyond a shadow of a doubt. Repeat rapists? Pedophiliac rapists? Homicidal dictators from Iraq? Yeah, i'm good with that.

[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Heck no. Prohibition for the world! If you ban the soft stuff, the harder stuff is that much less cool. Imagine – the world's anti-drug police start busting people for millions of dollars of cigarettes confiscated. How nice a world would that be? Judging by the survey, it sounds to me like the author was kinda focused on the whole drug use thing.

[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
Against – it's a simple formula: m + f = b. If you don't want 'b', don't add m + f. God says don't do it, which should be reason enough, but from a social standpoint it's the suicide of society to have a generation of broken families.

[08] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
There's no such thing. No matter what the bleeding hearts call it, it isn't marriage. As for same-sex civil unions, no, I don't think they should be legalized. Gay people have the EXACT same rights that the rest of us do. We are 100% equal in the eyes of the law – we all have the right to marry someone of the opposite gender, gay or straight. Isn't that comforting?

[9] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the US?
No, you're correct – many hispanics are illegally moving to the US. lol. The solution: any US company that is caught employing illegals pays a massive fine according to their annual income, and gets a black mark for a year. The money from the fine goes towards busting other businesses. No jobs, no illegal immigration.

[10] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
How did she get a baby? Her public education system should have told her that abstinence is cooler than preteen motherhood. OR, some son-of-a-gun made that choice for her (see #5 - Do You Believe in the Death Penalty). In any case, punish the perpetrator and not the child. Send to a relative, send for adoption, or raise with help. So many options...

[11] Should the alcohol age be lowered to 18 years old?
19 seems to work pretty well for Canada... it keeps it out of the High Schools. Wait, no, everyone drinks underage. Nevermind. o.O

[12] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
Yes – the insurgents should lay down their arms and give the West a great big group hug! Somebody sing hippie songs! It takes TWO sides to make peace, and only one to continue a war. I'm betting against a general end to combat.

[13] Assisted suicide is illegal: Do you agree?
Yes, it is illegal. Congratulations.

[14] Do you believe in spanking your children?
Absolutely not! I have no children. But if I did, and they needed it, I would spank them. I needed it, i'm sure at least one of mine will.

[15] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Most likely... but i'd burn a Karl Marx flag for $0.25. Funny world, ain't it?

[16] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
Well, McCain would save the children and kill the Country. Obama would kill the children and possible save the country, at least financially. Tough call. Can we just change the system so it doesn't encourage power-mongerers and liberals from clamoring for power?

[17] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Terrified. Mortified. Stoopified – by... well, no actually. That's the beauty of Democracy – the right to say what you like, as long as it isn't politically or socially incorrect... wait, that's not what I wanted to say...

Normally I give you a little summary of my story, tell you why you might like it, and post a link. Well, that's because i'm normally quite happy with my work. I don't write crap. You might not like it, but at least it's something.
Well, this time, I offer no flowery words to get you to read my latest work. I'm not at all happy with it, and I would just delete it if the thought of killing my own work didn't bother me so much. So, here it is. If you don't like it, please don't tell me, because I don't like it either. I think I took a good idea and completely butchered it beyond salvation. Normally I would try and fix it, but I wouldn't know where to start with this one. If by chance you do like it, I would be very interested to know why, and hopeful that it may be redeemable somehow. Who knows...

Anyway, here it is. Enjoy!

The Story That Killed a Thousand Men

In ancient Arabia, a furious Sultan scours his palace for a traitor. How tall is this fatal tale?

You can read the entire story here, at FaithWriters.com.

So, a fun fact for anyone who cares. :-) I'm thinking through a concept that I have for eventually writing my first play. Will it happen? Will it even be worth reading? God alone knows...

Stay tuned.

Jason's Army

My second story of the Fall is complete! "Jason's Army" follows a young victim of extreme bullying as he works to defend himself by forging an army of children.

This was a longer work than most of what I've done recently, mostly because this story simply could not be restrained to less than 750 words (as most of my recent stories have been). "Jason's Army" is available to be viewed at FaithWriters.com. Please leave me feedback if you read this story! I like to connect with my readers. I know there are a few of you out there :-)
