I agree with so much of what you said... in an idealistic sense... but sometimes unfortunately,

    If you are a single parent, you should get less welfare and benefits.

on the front end... this makes a TON of sense... on the back end.. when asshole leaves the lady with four kids hanging... she's now up a creek.

    Oh, and visible tattoos and body modification are stupid. WTF is up with the idiotic nose ring thing? And gauges? Stop that shit.

I am chuckling out loud at this one... a running joke in my family: face tattoos all say "DO NOT HIRE ME"

    The government should move away from "marriage" and more toward a "civil union" model so that the religious and traditional people can get a marriage and have that mean what they want.

    Gay people should be allowed to have the legal and financial benefits of marriage/civil unions.

a thousand times... this. Excellent post.
