Again, I keep getting the Libertarian bit. Better then left-liberal... (no offense guys) Libertarian 34.88 % Left-liberal 18.87 % Centrist 30.14 % Right-Conservative 7.48 % Statist 8.64 %
I like the idea of abstinence. There is one serious monkey wrench thrown in to the gears of such a concept: popular culture / modern society. You can have the most well instructed child but with parents becoming less and less an influence and today's culture more and more secular, it can be very hard for these children (or, heck, even adults) to abstain when the majority of people ascribe to an "animals in the wild" mentality". It makes one think th
It bears repeating - the Patriot Act was passed unanymously. Is there some great conspiracy in government to enslave the populace or maybe..just maybe people are being a bit melodramatic? It did not pass unaminously. There was one single independent who did not vote for it (I believe he was from Indiana). And let us consider the context, the Patriot Act was written up one day and voted on the next. Who the heck read all (over 600) pa
20 years old, 60 years old is a hugely different from a batch of few thousand cells. The desensitization campaign waged by the pro-abortion / pro-choice lobby is very successful in making people regard growing babies as "batches of cells". Think about what is being said there,"just a batch of cells". Isn't everybody just a mass of cells? Suppose there WAS a rape, but it's not provable, or the lady don't want to go t
Interesting, good job, Gideon.
Interesting, good job, Gideon.
In my opinion, the value of a human life is not a constant. If I had to choose between the life of my 7 year old son and the "life" of a fertilized egg I consider that a no-brainer. So, what if you have a gun and a disposable 20 year old and a 60 year old? Which one are you going to shoot? You would p
This is an interesting take on the issue. While it would greatly reduce the number of *legal* abortions recieved, what do you think the impact would be overall? I think that the program I've detailed would provide the needed and necessary service. And actually, by what I've outlined, abortion wouldn't actually be illegal to perform in your
I believe it is because a lot of these debates rise to the level of religion for the participants. There is no compromise in faith, there is belief and non-belief but there is no middle ground. Wonderful observation, many props!
All right, Sandy, I'll tell you what, I've got quite a few theories on the murky unknows of human sexuality, but I'll share one with you I've been working on. The truth is, there are many varied and diverse sexual preferences amongst people. Some prefer blonds, some think a sheep has the best feel, others prefer pre-adolescent youth, some post-menopause, some members of the opposite sex, some same sex, some both, some with many at once, som
Michael Moore of the right Um..who is "Rush Limbaugh" for $100, please, Alex! Otherwise, a very good post Draginol. The generalization and stereotypes you put forth seem somewhat consistant on the broad scale, but you have seen several exceptions to your rules even on this website. How many "right-wingers" here seem to spout nothing more than the basest daily dictums from certain third party sources. How many "left-wingers"
Sandy2: Please check out the forum, My Unpopular Views on Abortion, you should find some information there. As far as the "gay issue", it has not been shown *yet* that they are born that way. That is an assumption made by some and professed to be true by the gay lobby. What proof is there that convinces YOU that gay people are born this way? In my most casual observances, I've met people who don
Gillespie's argument sounds fairly reasonable to me.
Okay, I spent a bit of time looking around on the web. I visited the planned parenthood website and the only statistic they gave in regards to abortions was the total number they performed during 2003 (227, 375 performed by PPFA). Keep in mind, they are not the only contractor or service provider to that performs this procedure. I was referred by their site to the Guttmann Institute which
we're sweating the Patriot Act? An act that expires, An act Ashcroft urged lawmakers to renew and an act that is being talked about as "needing" a follow up bill to reinforce it's already overbearing strength.
Deference: Do you have a link for those Planned Parenthood statistics? They're amazing if true. They're also exceedingly relevant. Thanks. Those statistics came from a book I read about planned parenthood which is about four years old, I'll look around on the net and see if I can find the same statistics or somehthing that cor
No marriage for gays isn't a vision..... Outlawing abortion isn't a vision.... No abortion or gay marriage?! Sounds like a vision to me! Not that I'm supporting Bush, but those cultural wedge issues really get the attention of some wouldn't you agree? </fon
Hate to tell you all who think you have privacy, agencies, such as FBI, CIA, NSA, (sorry don't know their world counterparts) do work in the area of National Security, and have had this kind of power since at least World War 2, if you are just waking up to the fact that a Democracy can be more totalitarian than a Totalitarian regime in some aspects (NSK State stresses this covertly), than damn where has your head been? The difference is
Citizen Deference, there are evidence that Saddam hid and protected terrorists. We went to war to stop a dictator that gases his own people and put them in mass graves. Democrats can go on all day long about "there are no WMD's!!!" Hollywood can go on all day, "there are no WMD's!!" We stoped a dictator, freed a nation (even if the liberal media doesn't show you
Planned Parenthood's own statistics have consistently shown that less than 1% of all abortions occur because of a threat to the life of the mother, that one percent also includes all instances of reported incest and rape. More statistics from Planned Parenthood indicate that many abortions are occuring at the request of a repeat patient. This leads me to believe that abortion is more a matter of convenience then anything else ( I believe this to als
Yeah, I like how Bush always sticks by what he says, even it has been proven wrong (wmd's, Saddam links to Al-Queda) or if it is detrimental to our nation (preemption, overtime pay). The deaf speaking to the deaf?
Yep, most guys that I know of are hypocritical on the whole "gay "situation. I'd be pissed about to hot chicks kissing not because it's unnatural but because the lipstick lesbian stereotype is such crap and if it wasn't I'd be jealous that we were losing one (or two) to "the dark side". Some people are going to have to face it, though, gay sex acts are just that, and when confronted with them, mos
Yes, California is trying to copy Canada's law, which, although not often enforced in Canada, does allow for the arrest of a church pastor for taking a moral stance on issues such as homosexuality, among other things... This is what disturbs me most about the gay lobby. Since going through the public has proven to be slow going, they've attempted to simply hijack public policy through the courts. There was a Canadian on another site (
Thank God we're getting some "outside" input....now our leaders won't be able to speak for you.
Very good observation. Will anyone argue with this?
