Saturday Six

1. Twelve percent of Americans say they have never had someone of a different race in their home. Have you had someone of a different race in your home? Have you been in the home of someone of a different race?
Yes I have had someone of a different race in my home, and have been to the home of someone of a different race.

2. When asked if they think gay people are actually born gay (as opposed to “choosing” to be gay), 51% say that homosexuality is something one is born with. Do you agree?
Yes, I think people are born gay.

3. Given our society's obsession with the “perfect body,” the number might be expected to be higher, but 33% of Americans say they’d leave their partner if he or she gained 100 pounds. Would you?
Nope. Are these the same people who would leave if their partner gets wrinkles or needs glasses?

4. This question was originally asked only of women, and 54% said they’d prefer to watch the Super Bowl over the Academy Awards. Which would you pick and why?
Unless a team I am into is in the Super Bowl, I would much rather watch the Academy Awards, because I'm just more interested in what happens there.

5. Fifty percent of Americans say that it would be a good idea to require couples eligible for marriage to undergo marriage counseling before they can walk down the aisle. Is this a good idea or a bad idea?
I don't think anyone should require you go to counseling before marriage, although I think premarital counseling is a wonderful idea. People should be encouraged to go.

6. A popular potato chip’s ad slogan says, “Once you pop, you can’t stop.” But 39% of Americans claim that they can stop at just one chip. Are you one of them?
Not usually. It's the salt.
