Your most controversial view?

with only the ones with female tendencies sticking out.

Sorry, I don't understand this part. What do you mean by "female tendencies"?

- People should have to pay directly for their healthcare if they could have prevented it. (Eg, someone needs their stomach pumped due to excessive drinking)

It's a disorder of reproduction, specifically sexual attraction. It is clearly not a choice, and many studies have implicated a genetic component. Some would argue that a certain proportion of the population being gay actually confers overall reproductive benefit (something to do with demographic stability I'm not quite sure), but other diseases may also be beneficial in some aspects - CF and cholera, Sickle-cell and malaria.

However, what is important is that gay people should still have rights and be treated with respect. Like we don't make fun of the physically disabled.

Most people's babies are ugly.

Was meant to type mannerisms.Female mannerisms being the visual and social stereotype for gay men.

It's disgusting that you have the nerve to compare homosexuality to malaria. "Gay people should still have rights"? Well done, Sherlock, is the Pope a Catholic? I can't believe that you're in medical school and still spouting nonsense like this on a public forum. If you're going to start treating homosexuality like a pathology, why don't you go right ahead and start diagnosing people as mentally ill if they don't like the same films as you?

And it's exactly that - a stereotype with no relevance in modern society.

How would you decide that though?

Let's say I go cycling and fall off and break my leg. Should I have to pay? After all I could have prevented it by not going cycling.

I am involved in a car crash on a stretch of road known to be dangerous and I need hospital treatment. I could have avoided that by taking a different route or different form of transport. Should I have to pay?

If I go out hiking and get injured for whatever reason (adder bite, chased by cows, falling over, could be anything), what about then? I could have avoided that by not walking or by choosing a different route.

What if I get a sports related injury? After all, I chose to go and play that sport.

That's a bit of a dangerous route to go down, and deciding whether someone could have prevented it would require bureaucracy and possibly cost money to implement.

- Euthanasia should be made legal
- The monarchy should be abolished (I'll concede that it does have some benefits, but I think it has more drawbacks than benefits)
- Not everyone should have the right to vote
- The benefits system should be stricter
- People should have to pay directly for their healthcare if they could have prevented it. (Eg, someone needs their stomach pumped due to excessive drinking)

Just the ones off the top of my head.

I believe free, democratic countries need to be more decisive regarding the current issues in the Middle East (Islamic State, Syria, etc) I support a 'boots on the ground' response.

Anyone wishing to become a parent should have to pass some sort of test first that determines how good a parent they'd be. Obviously it's very difficult to determine what exactly 'good' is and how people would be tested but just something I've thought about for a while.

Also, dentists should be paid less.
