*Opinion Questions (these answers had better be more than 3 sentences)*
~What is your stand on abortion? I'm not for it, but i'm not against it. In my opinion, i think it all depends on the circumstances. For example, if a teenage girl makes a stupid mistake and gets pregnant but wants to have an abortion because she thinks it will ruin her future to have a kid, i think an abortion is wrong. You should have to pay for your own mistakes, you'll have a future even with a kid, it just might take a little longer to get there, and it won't happen the way you imagined it. However, if someone is raped or a case like that where they got pregnant not in their own will, i think an abortion is probably the best option, seeing as a mother is not going to care for her child as well as she should if she was raped because everytime she looks at the kid it will remind her of her rapist
Give your opinion (good or bad) about one reality show. The Swan, on abc? i think it was abc... it was the one where they took women who thought they were ugly and gave them complete makeovers, plastic surgery, physical training, wardrobe, makeup, teeth, EVERYTHING, and on every show they would show the transformation in 2 women and at the end of the show, they would choose the one that came out better and send them on to a "Swan" beauty pageant. I thought this was completely ridiculous. To me, that's like saying "Your ugly, so we're gonna make you beautiful" and then going back and saying "Well, we did what we could, but your still not beautiful
~How do you feel about same sex relationships? I'm completely okay with them. I think this question goes way back to the saying about the crayons, how everyones different but we all have to learn to live in the same box? Just because a gay guy or a lesbian woman thinks differently, doesn't mean that their some outcast and should have their right of marriage taken away. If you fall in love with someone, you fall in love with someone, there's no changing who you fall for, whether they're the same sex as you or not
~What do you think could be done to help lessen the amount of people in poverty in the U.S.? I honestly have no idea. I mean, i think a better education system would help, seeing as many of the people put in poverty are put there because they don't have enough education to get a good, steady job. I also think the fact that our country is notorious for alcohal problems could be another issue, however i don't know how to stop that. An alcohalic is addicted, and is going to find alcohal no matter what you try and do to stop them, the best thing is to raise awareness about it at young ages, which thank god our country has been working on doing.
*Randoms*
~If you could switch lives with a celebrity for a week, who would it be and why? Strangely enough, i would want to switch with Andy Roddick, lol. Andy is one of the best tennis players in the world, which, coming from a tennis player myself, would be amazing to be. I think i would truly benefit from living through intense tournaments like Wimbledon and the grand slam championships, where you know if you lose the game, you'll be disappointing an entire country? I would like to know how well i could handle that. However, Andy Roddick is also my favorite player off the court, in his free time he does thing like promote tennis to young athletes. I think it would be awesome to have a little boy or girl come up to you and have them tell you your their idol, i would love that. Not to mention andy roddick has a tennis court in his backyard, i wouldn't mind living in that house for a week... plus i would be getting in the mind of a guy... something every girl could use...
~What do you think happens after death? I have no idea, but i wonder about this all the time. I mainly stick to believing the whole "heaven" theory, but probably just because i think that's the most optimistic theory out there.
~How much money do you need to have a happy life? very little, as long as you adapt to your surroundings you can survive. And to be happy, all you have to do is rely on yourself. You can make yourself happy by not worrying about anything and loving your life. If nobody in the world worried about looks, or what other people thought about them, the world would be a much happier place.
~Do you have any phobias? Well, not technically, but i am deathly scared of losing the people that i love. I have no idea how i would handle any of my friends or family members dying or disappearing or anything of that sort. I put so much into choosing the right friends, and my best friends are amazing, no one could ask for anything more from them, if i lost one of them, i don't know what i would do
*Because I’m Curious*
~Where did you find out about this community?
flipping through a journal I saw the name of the community in an info thing and thought it sounded cute
~Do you have confidence in yourself? definately, i love who i am and would never change me for anything. The ony catch is that i have a hard time showing off what i'm good at, for example i play the clarinet, and i'm pretty good, but i have the hardest time playing solos or practicing at times when other people are listening because i'm always afriad of what they will think about it (( which i HATE that i think that but i just can't help myself ))
~Do you believe you’re a good candidate for this community? oh of course :)
