    where it says 'sleep with adults' do you mean share a bed, or do you mean it in the western sense of having sex?

    also, i didnt vote on the gun control one. i think it is unethincal to infirnge upon the rights of sensible firearms users, however there should be a much stricter screening process to aqcuire a gun license.

    I actually took the poll seriously, but for a few of them I selected both cases because you were not clear enough on the circumstances. Example: Should file sharing be legal? Well, of course there is nothing illegal about sharing files. It's a harmless process. However, what files are we sharing? If we are sharing just legal media, it's fine. If all we are doing is sharing illegal material, then that should be illegal. But sharing itself should not be illegal.

    Also:

    Jesus is God. The Holy Bible is 100% divine truth of God.
    God is not real. The Bible is not divine.

    I selected "God is not real" but I do not actually claim that to be true. The Bible is, in my opinion, a fairy tale. A book of fiction. But, that does not deny the possible existance of a god. Though, there is a difference between "God" and "a god."

    Everybody that posted so far shares your opinion.

    Firearms is basically about if there should be any tight to own firearms or even produce firearms or weapons. Should humans really be producing items spefically for the purpose of doing harm to others?

    The filesharing refers to published media.

    It's interesting to see everybody's stances on all those various issues.

    How do I edit the poll? That last 2 questions were supposed to be about prostitution, but I somehow inserted a repeat of the gay marriage question.

    The only thing I did not answer is "should children be allowed to sleep with adults"?

    I did not know if this was sexual or not.

    Many of the options given are either/or, black or white, with no middle ground. For those matters, I didn't select either option.

    It's refreshing to find a community where so many share my views. =) I forgot how much I missed this place.

    This is a neat idea, but it needs to be refined - for example, "marriage" has a religious connotation and can only be a man and a woman according to the WORD itself and its definition. But there's no reason why they can't enjoy the same benefits and joining under a different word.

    But I digress. xD
