Am I alone in my beliefs?

The following is my outlook on everything:

The Sexes:

I believe women see aesthetics before functionality

I believe that men see functionality before aesthetics

I believe women view sex as a luxury

I believe men view sex as a necessity

I believe women have better sensory abilities

I believe men have better mechanical abilities

I believe women have better ability to follow directions

I believe men have better cardinal sense of directions

I believe both men and women are sensitive beings, men hold it in, women let it out

I believe men are physical challengers

I believe  women are psychological challengers

I believe men and women have different physical brains

I believe gay men have women’s brains and lesbians have men’s brains (not by choice)

Religion/Science:

I believe most religions have a foundation of good intentions.

I believe all religions are a product of man.

I believe religion is man’s attempt to explain that which is beyond man’s comprehension.

I don’t know what happens after death - I hope it’s good

I believe in math, the numbers never lie.

I believe science is always learning

I believe in science, theories are just that - theories

I believe laws of nature are finite, unforgiving and compassionate at the same time.

I believe evolution is more plausible than creation

I believe that people believe in the religion by which they were raised

I believe in the equilibrium of forces - physical, and emotional

I believe the meaning of life is man’s quest for knowledge - Past? Future? and Why?

I believe there are forces  beyond man’s comprehension

Politics:

I am registered ‘Independent’

Being an independent, I can vote either side of the ballot without being hypocritical

I believe both democrats and republicans have good intentions

I believe neither democrats nor republicans can see their own shortcomings.

I don’t believe guns kill, people do

I believe everybody should be treated fairly

I believe in flat tax for all, no deductions, no loopholes, no exemptions.

I have difficulty believing the sincerity of lawyers and politicians

I believe all contracts should have a ‘DUMB’ clause - ‘If you do something stupid - You’re Guilty’

I believe lawyers should be held accountable for instigation for profit.

I believe people should vote for the person not the party.

I believe when voting, we should have more choices that just who the parties elect

I believe taxes should used to finance the government only - Not for punishments or rewards

I believe in the six verbs of the preamble

I believe all should serve their country - Civic, Military, Political, Peace Corp, etc.

I don not believe in entitlement - the government does not owe you anything other than what’s stated in the constitution

Obey the law!

I believe that people believe in the political party by which they were raised

Work Ethics:

I’d rather be an hour early than five minutes late.

I believe in hard work for competitive pay - working less and expecting more is unacceptable

I believe in respecting supervisors or find another job

I believe with labor laws in place, unions are no longer needed

I believe in treating all co-workers and customers with more respect than they may deserve

I believe in WORK HARD - no exceptions

Social Classes:

I believe decisions dictates one’s position in life - life is what you make it

Education is always good providing it’s truth-worthy

Respect MUST be earned

Try to respect everybody

Earth

Respect nature

From bugs to humans - Kill only for survival (food or protection)

Leave the earth better than when you arrived

Marijuana is not addictive therefore it’s not as harmful as alcohol - legalize it

Most Importantly - Family:

Children are our most precious assets - smother them with love with every opportunity

Life is too short

Am I alone in my beliefs?

Well, I believe in some of these... I don't declare myself as anything when it comes to politics. I very much believe in your work ethics. I really diverge with you when it comes to religion and science, but I still understand where you come from. It's hard to find people who believe in the same things as another does because people tend to be so common in their beliefs. I'm usually the person who stands out, especially in issues like abortion, gun control, religion, death penalty, etc. I'm more on the conservative side with many issues, so you may know where I stand. It's nice to see someone who is not afraid to speak their beliefs. Great job!

[Dave Potter]

Thanks so much for your review. I never know where I stand with people because the only people that speak up are those that are far right, far left, very religious, very anti-religious etc. You never hear from those who see good and bad on both sides. Many situations require picking side and that's not me. Once again, thanks for your review, Dave

[Samuel Dickens]

No, I don't think you're alone at all, and your course is a pretty reasonable one. On politics--even though I'm liberal on many issues, you and I agree more than disagree.

[Dave Potter]

Thanks for your feedback. I was concerned that the statements in the listing would either make me very popular or very unpopular with many people. Thanks again.
