OK, let's try to be civil now, people.

Still, EnergyUnlimited's flame did bring to mind some news I heard the other day that might be pertinent to this topic.

It seems that Bush 41 took George W aside and criticized his handling of the Iraq situation.

"Son," said George the Elder, "You made the same mistake in Iraq that I made with your mother 60 years ago."

"What's that, dad?" asked W.

Papa Bush replied, "You didn't pull out in time." :lol:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('smallpoxgirl', 'W')elll...if the problem is that too few people take the offer, maybe the reward should be sweeter. How about "Get a vasectomy, get out of the draft."?


I don't know if you meant this seriously but that won't work. One man can service many women but it takes nine months for a woman to produce a child. You have to sterilize the females or alternatively both just to make it fair. This is just the opposite of why we only take the male deer. Your suggestion would also select for people willing to serve in the military. I'm not going to call that good or bad but I will call it eugenics.

the reason vasectomies are suggested isn't any kind of discrimination against men, it's that vasectomies are simpler (cheaper, faster, safer)surgery than tubals.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Daculling', 'O')ne fertile child per family.

First female untouched. Everyone after that sterilized.



Edit: sorry sterilized not serialized. That comes later...


I have no doubt this will eventually happen. Moreover, noone will have to have it imposed on them. They'll be lining up for it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ElijahJones', 'I') don't think I have ever weighed in on abortion before on this forum and I am reluctant to now but...

I am against both of these things

1) destroying human life 2) destroying human liberty

And I think that the paradox of the abortion issue is that we seem not to be able to have a protection of both life and liberty. It seems to arise from the intersection of rights.


Why do the "rights" of a lump of cells matter? Do you worry about the "rights" of your toenails when you get a pedicure? Do you worry about the "rights" of your hair when you get a haircut?

What about the rights of the people who will be victimized by that child born into poverty? Why do you ignore them in favor of a lump of cells that someday will rob, rape and murder innocent people? What about their liberty?
Every morning a gazelle wakes up, knowing it must run faster than the lion or be killed. When a lion wakes up, it knows it must outrun the gazelle or starve. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or gazelle, when you wake up you'd better be running.

EJ has taken no position because it is a paradox whiteknight. As have I. I feel abortion is murder but I also feel that it should be legal for two reasons.

1. I am not the one to judge those whose shoes I do not walk in.

2. It's an effective population control. I will be judged by own measure on this one.

Here you have a non-barbaric proposal, how to encourage really vast numbers of peoples worlwide to undergo completely voluntary sterilisations:

Any woman aged below 40 or any man aged below 60, who would agree to undergo sterilization, would have his/her credit card bill erased with no other consequences whatsoever

Third World would not be a problem either.
$50 or $100 credit limit cards could be issued there to anyone not sterilized yet and of qualifying age, who applies, with no questions asked.

World Bank or other appropriate finnancial institution would supervise entire project.

Poor countries would be easy convinced to participate in the project.
Their national debt (or at least large proportion of it) would be erased in exchange for participation.

Here you have a simple idea, how to achieve Earth wide prosperity for long, long time.

Lets make some rough estimate:
We would need to secure about 200 millions of customers from first world and about 2 billions of customers from third world.

The average credit limit of the first group would be somewhere in range $ 10 000 and this would add up to $ 2 trillions here and the average credit limit in second group would be in range of $ 200 and this would add up to $ 400 billions (I believe, that the latter number is about current bill for Iraq war).

In any circumstances $ 2.4 trillion total for returning world to decent level of prosperity and saving the Earth for future generations would not be unaffordable price to pay.
It would not even make a visible dent on US government, who already owes far more money anyway.
However all state run retirement/state pension schemes would collapse within few decades. But they still will anyway...

Abortion Question?

Unread postby RonMN » Sun 18 Mar 2007, 19:32:46

I have a question to all Pro-Abortionists out there (and 1 question only). We all began life as a fetus (which is latin for "little one")...I don't believe there can be any debate on this fact.
If we all began as a fetus...then if any of us were aborted...we would not be alive right now.

Thus...how is abortion NOT murder? Is it...You are only a "life" once you've developed the physical power to defend yourself & emerge victorious?

OOOH MY! Jack may have a field day with the responses to this one :) Please...tell me about a womans RIGHT to murder the defenseless for the fourth time, so she can have sex next weekend with multiple partners...I'm listening...

This thread serves only one purpose and that is to create an argument. An argument that has been argued by both sides to exshaustive ends with neither side swaying the other.
I would hope with the problems looming before human kind you could have found something better to discuss. Unless your only point is to pick a fight because thats all this will do.
Instead of finding topics to pull people apart why not find something that brings people more together?
Nothing is more dangerous than a man with nothing left to lose but has everything left to gain.

i suppose u can technically call abortion murder

But what if a woman has been raped and ends up pregnant as a result ? What if a woman doesn't live in a stable enviroment where she can raise a child ? Does anyone remember being alive or conscious when they are inside their mothers ? I don't think so.

Heres a question for you. What if someone killed your baby ? What if baby killing were government policy ? Heres a thought, women who take flu shots whilst pregnant, a lot of the time it kills the child.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Thimerosal has been shown to cause abortions in every animal study it was used in. There are reports of abortions after the flu vaccine in the CDC's own database, including 5 from North Carolina in 2005, all in the same week, in shared vaccine lots ...this is what epidemiologists call a temporal and geographical cluster...in other words, a for certain association. Try reading a flu vaccine insert....they all say that it has never been tested in pregnancy and not known if it can cause birth defects and reproductive harm. Add the fact that thimerosal and flu vaccine were both associated with birth defects when given to pregnant women from data in the 1970's would suggest that this is an insane policy.


Makes you wonder why they push people to have these vaccines ?
I think the bottom line is, population control is going on without the consent of the people. It's not just just happening through killing babies, but these vaccines are steralizing women. The UN has been caught with its pants down on serveral occasions mass steralising women.

From the UN's own fucking website.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he dispute began last July when Mr. Datti Ahmed, the head of the Kano state Sharia Supreme Council, which administers Islamic law, claimed that polio vaccines supplied by the UN children's agency UNICEF contained sterilization chemicals and the HIV virus that causes AIDS. Mr. Ahmed, an influential leader in the largely Islamic region, charged that the vaccines had been deliberately contaminated by the US government to reduce the size of the Muslim population as part of its war on terrorism. The allegations led the governments of Kano and two other states with Sharia law, Kaduna and Zamfara, to halt immunization activities until their concerns about the safety of the vaccine are resolved.

Heres a good read if you have any doubt.

quote from above link
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')n astonishing journal paper: 1 November, 1993. FASEB Journal, volume 7, pp.1381-1385. Authors—Stephan Dirnhofer et al. Dirnhofer is from the Institute for Biomedical Aging Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. A quote from the paper: "Our study provides insights into possible modes of action of the birth control vaccine promoted by the Task Force on Birth Control Vaccines of the WHO (World Health Organization)."A birth control vaccine? What? Yes. A vaccine whose purpose is to achieve non-pregnancy where it ordinarily could occur. Sterilization?

That says i should have the RIGHT to stick my forcefull knee into a pregnant womans mid-section (something I would never do) and she lose her baby, and I get off with a simple assault charge.

No loss of life (because the fetus isn't a life)...nothing more than simple assault.

Is that ok with you?

And what if she was raped? what did the baby do to deserve capitol punishment?

Please understand...If i were CEASAR...I would NOT outlaw abortions (simply because that law would take more life than it would save)...

But...I don't see any viable argument comming from the pro-abortionists that make me believe this is not cold blooded murder.

Please...prove me wrong!

im not really 'pro' abortion. It's not something i really dwell on. I don't have a uterus. I think there are far more pressing things to be concerned with.

ie the war
half a million dead, 2 countries destroyed
etc

The possibility of war with Iran.
