Would love to have a crack at a revised version, if it's not too much trouble :)

I got 24%, but then I don't think the test is relevant for people who don't understand some of the cultural references quoted. You need to be American I guess.

These two things are pretty awesome, I think (yes, divorce included). I challenge you to convince me they're not.

I understand the pros of both of those things, but I still don't like them for the most part. Either way, I don't necessarily think I want to change anyone's mind, especially if they've already done plenty of thinking on those subjects and come to the conclusions that they have.
