I feel the same way! I have an issue with getting a job just because I fit some type of bullshit profile for a company....give me the job because I'm damn good at what I do!

I think that DNA testing for crimes where there is likely to be forensic evidence should be MANDATORY.
I also believe that the standard of proof for the death penalty should be higher than 'reasonable doubt'. I also believe death penalty should only be allowable in limited circumstances.
I believe we need to get back to having a jury 'of your peers' rather than a 'fair and impartial' jury because human beings try to be fair and cannot really be impartial.
Thats all for now...

I believe that habitual sexual predators CANNOT be rehabilitated. They may be able to suppress their behaviors for a length of time, but from what I've seen, they do re-offend eventually.

I believe:
~the SAT, ACT, GRE, MCAT, LSAT, etc. should not be used as a criteria to get into college.
~there is a cure for cancer and HIV/AIDS but the government doesn't want to let it out because it is an billion dollar industry to keep people on drugs for the rest of their lives.
~gay marriages should be legalized.
~other races help black people more than we help ourselves.
I can go on and on but I would be typing for forever. A lot of you already hit upon some of the things I believe.

 SAY THAT!! I agree that without those 2 deadly diseases, the medical industry would see a substantial loss in profit.

Um why not? What SHOULD be used as criteria to get into college?
-Coming from someone who actually scored above the 21 average on the ACT.

I just don't believe that those tests are always an accurate measurement of how the person would do in college. There are some graduate schools that don't require the GRE and they are ranked the top in the nation. Sometimes those test can be culturally and demographically bias.

Nothing is completely accurate, even IQ tests. But it gives good direction.
Culturally and demographically bias? How? By scoring? Or, by the type of questions asked on the test? While I do belive that the type of questions asked can be biased, I don't think it has a profound effect on outcome.

I believe that people convicted of ANY FORM of child abuse should not be permitted to procreate (also: people on welfare should be required to use birth control)
I believe that ALL PEOPLE are racist - the louder you shout that you aint the more you probably are

I believe that everyone should be personally responsible for their own behavior.
You should not be able to sue if you were fully aware of the ramifications of your actions/or inactions.
Drug use in private or any sexual act between consenting adults should be de-criminalized (not legal). You shouldn't be punished by the government for getting your swerve on. Your job should still be able to drawn the line though.
Tolerance cannot be mandated. To do so is a form of thought control. Equal treatment is another story.
Orphaned Children should be adopted into any loving home environment, regardless of the race or sexual orientation of the household.
Sigmas should not be allowed to win stepshows if they dance or act like Chippendales 50% of the routine.

I am still doing research to have more believable evidence but it just makes so much sense to me. People are different in my opinion because of the enviroment that they lived in that has caused things to happend over the years. Okay, my opnion is that human life started in Africa, which isn't to controversial. Then as humans grew and learned and multiplied, they moved to Asia. Confuscious said that his people turned into the yellow people( I got that on the internet so I have to find actual documentation) But look at the similarities between Asians and Africans. So these two groups grow into more races and something happens that separtates the Africans from the Asians. The Asians travel to somewhere else, climate is cold cause them to change again and you have a new group, Cacausions. I also read that Africans have a similiar dna, Asians have 90% of that same African dna, and Caucasians have 60% of the African dna and 10 % of the Asian. I am going to write a book so people can really think I am really crazy.
Hope this helps.

Just the thread I've been waiting for!!!
Where should I start?
Damn, the ACLU would love to read this thread  :
Yo Mr. Sniper {{knocking on his jail cell}} here's a suggestion:
The next time you or any other fool gets a little irritated with the System, simply go to your local Police Department and request, under Meagan's Law, a list of recently released sex offenders. The list contains their current address. Shoot away. Need me to carry any extra ammo?
Reparations are whack {we contribute 600 Billion dollars to the economy.. what do we need it for?}
Stop complaining about standardized tests and commit to acing them. By throwing them out, we admit that we cannot compete with white folks. That is admitting defeat. I studied for the SAT like a had a gun to my head and it paid off!
If you're in the business of reforming public education, establish a strict uniform policy, get rid of bilingual education, and bring back corporal punishment and prayer/moment of silence in schools. Kids now days have no fear of or respect for authority.

Female drug addicts who bring several drug addicted babies into the world should be forced to submit to sterilization.
There is life on other planets. Not in our galaxy, but out there.
The death penalty is wrong.
People are born gay.
