*PERSONAL VIEWS*
70. Homosexuality
Honestly I can’t tolerate the idea of people of the same sex being vowed together for life, but if they want to do it and they believe in it, it’s their choice. I have no further comments or objections.
71. Brand names
I guess it’s okay, there’s an amount of individuality and recognition for the product or service. Think about it in human terms. Each of us has a name for easy recognition by the people we know. However, adverse advertising of brand names which leads to discrimination is a tad too far.
72. Abortion
Although it’s the taking of a life, I support it, because in this way the offspring doesn’t have to suffer for tens of years of his life with an unsupportive mother, a broken family and discrimination that he is an illegitimate child or whatsoever. Back to the cut and shot thing: you’d rather get shot because it is a sharp and momentarily pain which ends almost instantaneously. Don’t let the kid suffer in the mortal world for the rest of his life.
73. Religion
Freethinker. I don’t think I really have the time to commit myself to a religion.
74. Animals rights
Yes. I abhor the mistreatment and killing of lifeforms.
75. Love at first sight
No. In correction it should be “crush at first sight”. Love has to be cultivated through long time communication and contact with the other party.
76. God
I’m a freethinker…
77. Aliens
No
78. Horoscopes
To a certain extent, but I don’t depend entirely on them. I take things as they come and go.
79. Heaven
Que Sera Sera… I don’t know if there’s a heaven…
80. Hell
As above
81. Reincarnation
As above
82. Transvestites
Like my views about homosexualities: it’s their choice what they want to become. I don’t really bother with them.
83. Boy bands
Those whose members are picked by a single manager or executive producer are just fads and advertising gimmicks. Their looks matter more than their songs. They can sing bad songs and get away with it. They can grow pimples and not get away with it. On the other hand, those whose members come together on their own, like the Beatles, are worth my respect, because they want to band up (pun unintended) to make music together.
84. Genres
Thrillers
Music
85. 80’s music
I love the oldies. Their songs have better meanings and tunes compared to most of today’s techno.
86. Punk rock
I’m open to it, but I listen as a passing listening and don’t purposely go for it
87. What’s the sexiest instrument(s)
Piano? Haha
88. What’s the prettiest part of the body?
What body? The piano? If so, it’s the curve of the grand.

Poor time management

Loud explosions
Death
91. Do you live in the moment?
