Extremely controversial Topics
There are a lot of world issues and topics that have such a huge impact on society and life, with so many ranging opinions, that these issues are constantly on a pendulum to be decided as acceptable or unacceptable. Topics that I'm referring to are serious issues such as the legalization of marijuana, abortion, gun control, gay marriage, etc... I understand how sensitive these topics are, and I understand that my opinion on these matters may greatly differ than the opinions of others. So, before I jump into the discussion of these topics, I want to give you all a disclaimer. The things that I say about these topics are my personal opinions on how I think it should be. What I think is neither right or wrong, but merely my personal opinion. Everyone has that freedom to agree or disagree with what I say. Feel free to chime in about your own thoughts and opinions, but please do not act like an immature keyboard warrior. I just want to make this blog post for my own personal benefit.
Legalization of Marijuana
I am a pretty open-minded person, or so I would like to think I am. I am a person who feels that an individual has the right to like whatever they want to like, take part in whatever they want to take part in so long as it isn't infringing upon my health, my safety, etc... In my opinion, I think marijuana should be legal. Alcohol, cigarettes, guns etc... pose a higher threat than marijuana ever will. The benefits to making it legal, would be generating revenue for the country. If they sell marijuana and regulate it like cigarettes and tax it, people can enjoy that activity legally and the government can also generate some money. I guarantee that 99% of the world will say they currently smoke pot or have tried it at least once, or knows someone who regularly smokes it, or has been at a location where it was present in some way or form. Because it is so common, whether they ever legalize it or not, people are going to continue to do it publicly and discreetly, so we might as well legalize it to benefit from it as a country as a whole. Not only would this generate revenue, it would possibly even deter people from smoking it. I know as a kid, doing things were a lot more fun when we were told not to do them, versus when we were allowed. Going into a sports bar, even though no drinking was going to happen was a lot more exciting than being 21 and able to drink. I think that if smoking marijuana became legal it could deter some people from wanting to do it, it would promote drug users to switch to smoking marijuana instead of hard drugs etc... Plus, in terms of the medical industry, marijuana has so many positive uses for various things. With the right caution, regulation and support, I think that marijuana could become a huge game changer in the way things work. I don't think a plant should be deemed as evil when cigarettes, alcohol and worse things surround us.
Abortion
This is a really touchy subject for me and many other people. I already know that my opinion on this is going to piss a lot of people off, and that's okay. Everyone is free to choose what they believe in and what they feel is right or acceptable. So once again, I warn you that this is just my opinion and personal thoughts on the matter, and that what I say is not right or wrong, just opinion.
When I think of abortion, I am truly on the fence about it. Part of me thinks it should be legal and given as a personal choice and part of me thinks that it's cheating God and giving people the option to get a detour from personal responsibility. So first I would like to discuss why I support abortion and then I will explain why I don't support abortion and I'll conclude with what I think should happen overall.
Abortion is the act in which doctors remove or eliminate the fetus from the female before it is time to give birth to the child. A lot of people are concerned that doing this is an act of murder while others believe that the fetus is not considered alive until it is born and cries and breathes for the first time. So we must ask ourselves, at what point is someone alive, living, human, etc...?
I think abortion should be legal in certain circumstances. For example, if a woman is going to die in the process of carrying or giving birth to the child, I believe she should have that option to get the abortion. It seems like it would be extremely difficult to give your life up for something that well... may not even be alive yet. Is that a gamble worth taking? Now, a lot of mothers might say, yes... I would give my life a thousand times for any of my children. Once you become a mother you have a better understanding on the pain that you would induce if you made the decision to just cut that child from existence. There would be the possible feeling of regret and the constant "what if..." I think abortion should also be an option (note that I said option not mandatory) for women who are victims of rape scenarios. If you are pregnant via being raped, you should have the choice to have that baby or not. You didn't ask to get pregnant, you didn't want to get pregnant, it's not like you were having sex and was ignorant and didn't use protection. You became pregnant against your own will in an extremely traumatic situation. At that point, I think it should be the individuals choice if they want to raise that child, knowing its father is a rapist OR if they want to avoid that sour situation of taking care of a child that doesn't feel like it's your own, to grow up in an alternate environment based off of its method of coming into the world etc.... Why should a woman be required to take care of a second person against their own will when they had no plans of becoming a mother. Why should that life changing, body changing responsibility be forced upon them? With the legalization of abortion, I think that it should only be used in these extreme cases and should NOT be taken lightly. I think any woman who considers getting an abortion should consult their loved ones. For example, a woman is married and she got raped on her way home and becomes pregnant. She should consult with her husband on what to do. I say this because even though his seed did not create that baby, he is still responsible for taking care of that baby should she decide to keep it and raise it. If she were to get an abortion without his consent or knowing about the situation, how would he feel about it? Not only do I think that the woman should consult with her loved ones, but should also sign a contract and take required therapy sessions before they begin preparations for the abortion procedure and during. Right before they follow through with the procedure, the doctors should give the woman a brief amount of time to make her final decision if she wants to go through with the abortion or if she wants to change her mind and raise the baby. Every woman has a choice, so if something becomes legal, it's not like a woman HAS to do it. You don't have to start smoking cigarettes, you choose to start smoking them. So I think abortion should be treated the same way. The option should be there for people who feel they want that decision to be made for them, but should be strongly advised through the whole process. Another reason why I would think abortion should be legal is for this reason. This is probably going to piss a lot of people off, especially parents who have children that have these disorders/diseases etc.... but I think that if a woman is pregnant and the doctors are 100% certain that they baby will either die upon birth, or have some extremely severe fatal disease or mental disorder, the mother of that child should have the option to remove it from her before it is born. Now, before the keyboard warriors piss and moan about this please know that I understand that mentally retarded kids, people suffering from ADD/ADHD, autism, down syndrome, etc... are people who are perfectly capable of living "normal" lives to an extent and should not be treated otherwise, or looked at differently from you and I. I agree with that in every way, but let's sit down and be adults for a second. Consider all of the bullying, harassment, inner struggles, financial requirements, medical necessities and hardships this child is going to have to go through just because you are selfish and feel that it deserves to live. Why would you put that life of suffering and hardships on this person? Would it not be better to let this person go in peace so that they aren't in pain 24/7? So that they aren't being bullied and considering suicide their whole life?
I think abortion should NOT be used for following situations. If two teenage kids in high school decide to become sexually active and they ignore the use of contraception or birth control and the female gets pregnant, I think they should be required to give birth to the child and then either raise the baby themselves or have the option to give the child up for adoption. I understand that most kids that get pregnant at young ages are due to being reckless OR they were using protection and something went wrong and they got pregnant anyways, but most of the time it's because kids are retarded and don't take pregnancy seriously. Abortion should not be a get out of jail free card for anyone who wants to mess around with whoever they want and ignore the responsibilities and consequences of their actions. I think abortion should not be used for free either. Aside from the general hospital fees and whatever else is involved with any surgery, I believe there should be a high price attached to abortion. You are messing around with a potential life, so I believe there should be some sort of price involved with having the option to take part in abortion. Pay an exact price for the procedure, or suck it up and follow through with the pregnancy. That sounds extreme, but it would be a way for people to avoid getting an abortion to make the people who don't approve of abortions happy. I also think that there should be some sort of rules involved. If someone decides to get an abortion there should be some sort of legal action involved. For example, a woman gets an abortion and now for x amount of time she cannot get another abortion. If a woman exceeds this timeline and does not get pregnant then the option can re-open for her in the future if she gets pregnant against her will or of there is an emergency situation. Picture it like having points on your license from getting into car accidents. Your insurance goes up and you have to go x time without getting into another accident, breaking laws, etc.... I feel that abortion should be set up the same way. A woman gets an abortion and she has to go x time before the option can be available again. Therefore, if a woman had an abortion and finds herself pregnant again, she MUST follow through with the pregnancy and either raise the child or give it up for adoption.
In today's society, our population is higher than it has ever been in history. Through technology, science and medicine, we live longer than we ever have. Because of these breakthroughs, we're increasing our population and the population isn't dying at a fast enough rate. Eventually if so many people are reproducing, there will be severe consequences. I think there should be some sort of law set in place to prevent women for getting pregnant over and over and over again without taking responsibility for taking care of the children that they create. I think that orphans and adoption agencies should be given more serious thought for people who are interested in raising children versus bringing new ones into the world.
So all in all, I think abortion should be an option for women to have in extreme scenarios if she is going to die, the baby is going to die, or if she is a rape victim. I think it is not okay for people to have an abortion freely to save themselves from the responsibilities caused by their recklessness and bad habits. If abortion is an option, I think it should be scarcely used and heavily monitored so that women can't get abortions every other month. Use a condom, or birth control.... seriously.
So is it murder? I don't know. I can't tell you if the fetus within you is alive or just a sack of flesh that is growing within you. That is your choice to make as a woman. That is your body that you are tampering with. That is your conscience and potential guilt that you are going to experience if you decide to get an abortion. So honestly, the best thing to do is to just not get pregnant if you are not willing to accept the responsibilities and consequences that come along with being pregnant. Greatly consider your options before you agree to anything because it is life changing. If you know you cannot support the child that you are about to create, do not get pregnant. Do not create another child to sit in a clinic waiting to get adopted. Don't force that child to life a life where it will always wonder why its mother didn't want them or couldn't keep them. Even if your intentions are purely to give that child a better life than you can offer, the best thing you can offer that child, is to not get pregnant with that child in the first place. Let your teenagers know what sex is, what happens if they have sex, what the dangers and responsibilities are from having sex and/or getting pregnant and what their options are and what you believe they should do if they get in that situation.
Gun Control
Our constitution has a section in which we have the right to bear arms. We have the right to purchase and own weapons for us to use for sport and game, personal protection etc... Unfortunately there are so many retarded people in this world who decide to use their weapons for dumb reasons, dangerous reasons and it is these people who force society into creating laws that help prevent these situations from happening but also put a lot of pressure on people who are innocently using their guns. A big argument is who kills people, the gun or the person shooting the gun? And in my opinion it is both. You don't need a gun to kill a person and a gun sitting on table isn't killing a person. The gun can be used to kill somebody, and at that point if a gun is used to kill somebody, the person who used the gun is at fault, not the gun itself. I think that it is okay to bear weapons in the privacy of your own home and in certain cases in public, like if you're out in the wilderness camping/hunting and just need some protection on you. We live in an era where sticks and stones and little swords aren't ideal weapons in a case of an emergency or a state of warfare. Guns, tanks, missiles, nuclear explosions etc... are the things we worry about and have to use against others and will be used against us. I understand that there are a lot of laws in place in terms of who can own a gun, what kinds of guns they can use and I understand a lot of security is set in stone to prevent criminals and dangerous people from acquiring guns legally. If you own guns, be it for hunting, sport or protection, you have that right to own those guns. I think that they should be locked up and out of reach of children or anyone that you feel should not be handling a weapon. I think that when someone attempts to purchase a weapon not only should they be required to take a background check, but they should also go through a process to verify that they don't have a mental disorder or a psychological disorder that could influence them to use their weapons to kill their family because they hallucinated and thought they were demons or something like that. I'm sure this sort of thing is already set in place, but if not... I really think it should. Because guns and weapons in general should really stay out of the wrong hands, especially child hands. So if you own weapons, keep note of who is in your house. Who has access to your weapons? Are they safe from reach of children?
Gay Marriage
I grew up in a Christian family and the Christian faith typically (not everyone that is Christian believes this) deems homosexuality as a sin. Despite being raised in that sort of community, I believe differently. In terms of religion, gay people have existed throughout history since the dawn of time. If God truly didn't want people to be gay, he wouldn't have created them to have that option. If God is going to give us free will, then being gay is in that free will. You can live for God and worship him, and still love the person you love. If God loves you no matter what you have down, what you are doing and what you will do, why should it matter who you love, who you have sex with etc...?
Here are the reasons why I think Gay Marriage should be legal. We have a huge population and I feel that a great way to prevent the population from increasing rapidly is to let gay people and lesbians get married. First of all, they can't get each other pregnant. They have the option to adopt a child who has already been born, or if they're a woman they can borrow sperm from a male. So in a sense they can create children by outside sources or adopt the children that already exist. I don't know if anyone has noticed but when you see people get married, a lot of the mare dysfunctional. I often question why certain people got married without really thinking about what they were getting into. For example, celebrities. You hear about celebs getting married and then they get a divorce within a few days. Where you will hear about a gay or lesbian couple who have been together for over 10 years but can't get married because some stupid paper that the government has kept away some where says they can't get married. I understand and respect religions and different belief systems. It's okay if you think gay marriage is wrong or ungodly, but what you believe should not be forced upon others who believe differently. When you love someone, you love someone. There is no question about it. And whether someone has been gay their whole life, or recently realized that they feel a different way than they used to, that is their choice. We should not reduce ourselves to discrimination, segregation and racism because a new lifestyle surfaces. I think anyone should be allowed to get married. They're going to go through the same process that anyone else would if they get married and to be honest, I think that gay people are more responsible and appreciative of their rights than regular straight people are. In fact, we should just set up a movement where nobody is straight, gay, or bi. We're all just people loving other people. If animals can be gay, why can't humans? Yes... there are gay animals. Don't believe me? Google it, you'll be amazed. If a gay couple gets married, what effect does it have on you? What's that...nothing? REALLY? OMG. So then why is it a problem if they get married? Since when did other peoples choices have to match up with your beliefs? If the world wears blue, but I want to wear yellow, nobody is going to give a flying fuck, so why should gay marriage be any different? It's not a disease, a trend, a fashion statement, a negative influence on society. It's not any different than women not having the right to vote, or blacks having the same rights as white people. When will people realize that we are all the same. What we do in the bedroom with the person we love should not matter to your neighbors. Get off your high horse and let go of the resistance. Let the world be what it wants to be. You do your thing and let other people have the option to do their thing.
Conclusion
These are my opinions on these very controversial topics that are in the media all the time. As a reminder, these are my thoughts and opinions and should be treated as such. What I think and feel is not right or wrong, merely my personal opinion. If you agree, fantastic. If you disagree, fantastic. YOU have the right to believe whatever you want to believe whether it coincides with what I believe or contradicts what I believe. We are all a part of this world and we are what makes the world a better place. With diversity, comes varying opinions and eventually nature sorts itself out, and so do we. So fight for what you believe in, help make this world a better and safer place and let us all grow and thrive as nation and a world. Thank you for reading.

You hear about celebs getting married and then they get a divorce within a few days. Where you will hear about a gay or lesbian couple who have been together for over 10 years but can't get married because some stupid paper that the government has kept away some where says they can't get married. I understand and respect religions and different belief systems. It's okay if you think gay marriage is wrong or ungodly, but what you believe should not be forced upon others who believe differently. When you love someone, you love someone. There is no question about it. And whether someone has been gay their whole life, or recently realized that they feel a different way than they used to, that is their choice. We should not reduce ourselves to discrimination, segregation and racism because a new lifestyle surfaces. I think anyone should be allowed to get married. They're going to go through the same process that anyone else would if they get married and to be honest, I think that gay people are more responsible and appreciative of their rights than regular straight people are. In fact, we should just set up a movement where nobody is straight, gay, or bi. We're all just people loving other people. If animals can be gay, why can't humans? Yes... there are gay animals. Don't believe me? Google it, you'll be amazed. If a gay couple gets married, what effect does it have on you? What's that...nothing? REALLY? OMG. So then why is it a problem if they get married? Since when did other peoples choices have to match up with your beliefs? If the world wears blue, but I want to wear yellow, nobody is going to give a flying fuck, so why should gay marriage be any different? It's not a disease, a trend, a fashion statement, a negative influence on society. It's not any different than women not having the right to vote, or blacks having the same rights as white people. When will people realize that we are all the same. What we do in the bedroom with the person we love should not matter to your neighbors. Get off your high horse and let go of the resistance. Let the world be what it wants to be. You do your thing and let other people have the option to do their thing.
Conclusion
These are my opinions on these very controversial topics that are in the media all the time. As a reminder, these are my thoughts and opinions and should be treated as such. What I think and feel is not right or wrong, merely my personal opinion. If you agree, fantastic. If you disagree, fantastic. YOU have the right to believe whatever you want to believe whether it coincides with what I believe or contradicts what I believe. We are all a part of this world and we are what makes the world a better place. With diversity, comes varying opinions and eventually nature sorts itself out, and so do we. So fight for what you believe in, help make this world a better and safer place and let us all grow and thrive as nation and a world. Thank you for reading.
