nonsensical info on me that's probably inaccurate

Once upon a time ago I was a rather opinionated adolescent, but as I aged, I came to discover that there are few issues that are distinctly black or white, and I hence developed into a "gray thinker," or an open minded individual, such that I can usually sympathize on some level with either side of the spectrum, but rarely take an extremist view. And while I think it is essential that there are people out there with strong opinions, or change and progress would not occur, I don't mind watching the battle from the sidelines and avoiding getting splattered with blood. (Although, when in the vicinity of a fanatic, I'll often argue the other side in a futile attempt to mediate his/her extremist views.)

However, a recent post by bits'n pieces made me realize that there are at least a handful of random issues that I still get pretty worked up about. An incomprehensive list of the first ones to come to mind:

• Dishonest practices amongst Hasidic Jews (utterly despicable)
  
• Intermarriage between Jews and Gentiles (greatly disturbing)
  
• Abortion (strongly in favor of free choice)
  
• People who make a religion of science (I love to mock them)

(I can think of a fifth one, but I will refrain from mentioning it, since every time I brought it up in the past, it really annoyed people who actually have a "right" to an opinion on the matter, and I don't really have a good line of defense...)
