    Cigarettes should be illegal.

    I'm personally against them, after watching someone I loved very much die from lung cancer after smoking for their entire life. Then again, banning something like that would likely lead to more crime in the long run than just allowing people to buy them. I do believe there needs to be...

    Other people's opinions you just can't accept! Everybody gets one!

    Seconded. I have never liked them. Their music is terrible. Unacceptable opinions of my own. Hmm. Hated Catcher in the Rye. A lot of people I know loved it and said they could totally relate but. I just thought Holden needed to shut up and stop whining. The Game of Thrones TV series...

    When Was Your "Awkaward Stage"?

    The first two years of high school. Moved to a new town and school where I didn't know anyone, dressed weird, wouldn't talk to anyone. Had my first crush and was extremely creepy/awkward about it. Yeaaaah high school was not the greatest for me.

    Are the "A Song of Fire and Ice" books worth reading?

    Personally, I prefer the books to the show. There's just so much more to them, and it's much more elaborate than the show.

    Crazy Roommate Stories

    Had to move out of my apartment halfway through the semester last year because my room mate was a nutcase who called her mom and got her to fly from California to Texas just because my mom and grandmother came to visit for the weekend and I didn't tell her. We weren't even at the apartment that...

    You know what "classic movie" I can't comprehend the popularity of?

    It's okay. I hated it for a while there because people in my dorm would quote it all the time and it irritated me to no end.

    Poll: Big Issues with Abstinence-Only Sex Ed

    My high school health class did the "abstinence is the only way to make sure pregnancy/STIs/etc. are 100% preventable, but you can use condoms and stuff for safe sex." I don't think they really told us what purpose condoms and birth control had, just that you could find them somewhere. But...

    Young Justice Leaps

    I don't mind the time skip too much, because it's introducing a lot of cool new characters and developing the original team. I just hope they go back and show some flashbacks rather than just having characters talk about what happened during the five years. Showing would be a much better way to...

    Stupidest thing that someone has come back at you with in an argument.

    "A REAL fan would know about X, Y, and Z./A REAL fan would-" No. Just. Stop right there, take your argument, and go home. Any argument where someone pulled the "I'm a better fan" card on me is one I immediately ceased to take seriously. Just because you've been in a particular fandom longer...

    What's your neighbourhood like

    The development I live in is between towns and fairly new (7-8 years old). Middle class, quiet, good amount of space between houses. It's not a bad place besides the fact that nothing ever happens around here.

    I don't think my girlfriend understands personal space.

    I would explain to her that sometimes you just want to hang out with your friends separate of her company, and that this isn't a bad thing. It doesn't mean that you don't care about her or don't like her. I understand the need for space, and it sounds like she is being a bit clingy. I think it's...

    Your Favorite Avenger?

    Iron Man for his snark, Hulk for his awesome moments, and then the Tony Stark/Bruce Banner friendship was so great.

    What was your highschool "Role"?

    Quiet nerdy kid who tried to lay low and get the hell out of high school. Newspaper was my only activity and while I liked anime, my parents' dislike of it kept me from participating in the Anime Club. Which looking back, may have been for the best. I was fairly popular though and didn't...

    Depressing single person problems...

    Contrary to what a lot of people want you to believe, you don't spontaneously burst into flames if you graduate high school without having ever been in a relationship. Plus, I'm of the opinion that high school relationships are overrated anyway. Just focus on the future and don't worry too...

    What if you found out your partner had radical political views you disapproved of?

    There are some things that I wouldn't be too concerned about (some social issues, minor things, etc.) But if they were extremely racist or super ultra conservative I couldn't do it.
