wmw999 2,588 #1 September 11, 2009 OK, obviously I'm not going to be the first one to answer this , but I have done at least one of these things. And once it's been answered a few times. Edited to add: Crap, I completely forgot about everything having to do with homosexuality. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,148 #2 September 11, 2009 You should have included cheating on your income tax, exceeding the speed limit, driving without insurance, jumping a red light...... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,588 #3 September 11, 2009 Yep. But I didn't think about them (and I have driven without insurance, both legally and illegally).

councilman24 37 #5 September 11, 2009 It's kind of an odd mix. Some are illegal. Some immoral to some but legal. If it was things that were illegal or 'against the rules' like cheating on a test. But premarital sex and abortion are not 'wrong' to all. Since I'm in the middle of a campaign I don't think I'll specify my answers. I'm old for my age.

wmw999 2,588 #6 September 11, 2009 QuoteSince I'm in the middle of a campaign I don't think I'll specify my answers.And that, folks, is really my point. Most of these sins are used to pillory politicians, who are human beings just like us. Clearly none of us can undergo complete scrutiny. That doesn't make it OK for a politician to lie, or do half the shit they do. But it also means that when someone has a skeleton in their closet, maybe we should look at who they are and how they act now.

pirana 0 #11 September 11, 2009 The problem is the total appears to be of all votes. We need to see the number of participants for it to have meaning (or am I reading it wrong?)

wmw999 2,588 #13 September 11, 2009 Can't know how many people voted, but it was at least 25. And I'm pretty sure that the last person to vote voted "yes" on everything.
