All I see is bias.
Bias, bias, bias.
You know, there is no right anymore. There's only opinions of right. I guess I say 'anymore' because I hold on to a thread of an idea that there was a right at one time, a real right, the kind of right that people all over understood and abided by.
I think that right was survival and happiness.
To deny either of those is to deny life itself. One cannot be sure what makes another happy, so one should not say (nor should the majority say) that something is wrong because it doesn't make them happy or they abstain from using it to assist in being happy.
Drugs for example. Okay, it might theoretically shorten my life expectancy (though they cannot deny the possibility that I could still live to 103 smoking marijuana every day, or dropping acid, eating shrooms, whatever)
However, if it makes /me/ happy...by them making it possible for detrimental effects to occur that normally wouldn't occur for me (jailtime, forced rehab), they are making my happiness level even worse, therefore obstructing my ability to be happy, therefore denying my right to live.
There are responsible drug users in this world, whether you people want to acknowledge it or not. I know two parents, one who used to love to drink, the other who loved to smoke weed. They both did it responsibly, and you know what - When the one needed a steady job to support his family, he quit smoking so he could pass the random piss tests. And when they had children, the other stopped drinking liquor and partying and both went to the occasional beer. That's a testament to responsibility.
Gay marriage is another example, and it reigns supreme when it comes to bias. They fight it with the bible and they fight it with 'research'. However, the research isn't based in the real world, so it can't be used. And everyone knows the bible creates a majority of hypocrites, so it should be thrown out the window as well. The only reason people fight it is because they feel it infringes on their idea of life. However, to deny others the type of life they want...well, that's wrong. How would the straight people feel if Gays reigned supreme, and everyone used artificial insemination and adopted, they were the only ones who were allowed to be married? It's not the way it is, and highly unlikely to ever occur, but it's a vision for you straight people to see what it's like to be opressed and told you can't do what others do because you aren't like them.
It's ironic, but the only reason this country exists today is because of opression. Our forefathers left because they couldn't worship the way they wanted too. Our government is as bad as britain was in those days. It's time for children to be raised open-minded and free. I'm sick of the mind control.
