Knowing you, I'm sure you were intending to be surreal, but it could be read that you didn't believe you could play football with alcoholism.

Ahem, didn't believe in most of these ideals even when I was in college and nothing much has changed 10 years after the fact. Maybe I am less pro-capitalist than in college, if anything...by which I mean capitalism as defined by the so called neo liberal 'Washington' consensus which is just a cover for full on cronyism and egregious corporate fraud in the name of deregulation as far as I am concerned.
About the only thing I believed in then and now is the abolition of nation states which I know will never happen. But I just think it's a bloody waste to have nation states and then all these states squabbling with each other constantly for resources, resulting in wars and a mountain of defence expenditure. Even considering the spin off effects of defence expenditure, I can't help but think this money would be better spent in giving the gift of education to those who can't afford it and are therefore trapped in lifelong poverty. It's a shame that India can't settle issues with Pakistan and therefore has to spend bigtime on defence when we have, what, the world's largest collection of the poor or something like that.

Would've voted 'Meat is Murder' but I didn't used to think that even though it's closest to my beliefs now regarding animals (and no, I'm not a veg) .
Voted 'None of Them' .

I believe in none of them, save perhaps the smoking thing. After understanding what the avoidable activity does to even the toughest of constitution, there's at least a streak of idiot running through them. (And I count myself in those idiot ranks for many years.) It's hard to quit but it is doable and the benefits are substantial even if you've puffed away for decades.

You can do anything with alcoholism if you put your mind to it. At least, that's what I was taught in elementary school. But you are right. I had liver on the brain and just went with it.

I have no beliefs. 'I don't believe there is a God' is not the same as 'I believe there is no God'.

"Only idiots smoke" ... what an arrogant stance. Define "idiot" in this context.
I believe there is no god.

I'm vegetarian, so of course I believe that meat is murder, but I don't insult others for eating meat. I don't care one bit if someone wants to eat meat.

Does 27 mean I can look back on my youthful ideas?
Actually, that's perfect! The youthful idea that 27 is no longer youthful
I held onto that one until 2 years ago. Letting go of it has been perhaps the best thing I've done in my life so far.

I held none of these "beliefs" in my youth. That I consider some of them now I regard that as a product of maturity.
