277. Religion: See my answer to #273.
278. Emo music: All music is merely a way for people to express themselves; how could I be against such a thing?
279. Valentine's Day: If it had any genuine sentimentality, commercialism has destroyed it and made it a consumerism-riddled excuse to boost the economy.

282. Abortion: It's a woman's choice.
283. Inter-racial relationships: People can do whatever they like, frankly.
284. Murder: If you want to risk your life and reputation to get rid of someone, go for it, unless it happens to be me or anyone I care about.
285. Death: Inevitable, but not nearly as terrifying as the senility that precedes it.
286. Obesity: It seems to be the en vogue thing right now, and I'm too fat and lazy to change it.
287. Pre-marial sex: If that's what crumbles your cookies, have at it. I plan on commiting this "sin" myself, someday.
288. Terrorism: The new Communism; let's update McCarthyism for the 21st century!

290. Fortune tellers: Charlatans.
291. Threesomes: Whatever floats your boat.
292. Prostitution: Should be legalised, so "women of the night" can have health care and other protections.

294. Country music: Some is all right; the rest I don't care for.
295. George W. Bush: A quote sums up my thoughts: "My mother once told me that anyone could be president; I'm beginning to believe it."
296. Cloning: Dangerous, but intriguing.
297. Britney's boobs: Who the fuck cares?
