Um, I’d rather not…
…although I do have a question:
We all know that there are some hardcore trains of thought when it comes to abortion. That every life is sacred and precious no matter what. I get that.
But what if someone who believed that was violently raped and subsequently impregnated? Would they then still keep the baby?
Hey, if I’m going to post a sick thought like that, at least its in the right thread.
Also, I don’t think people understood that that wasn’t actually my “quote.”
Bobby Knight said it first.
All the various forms of deities people worship, this god and that god and those gods and that tree…etc…
I find it rather diluted and presumptuous that every one of the devout out there believes that their god is endowed with human attributes, like a conscience, or one step further, self awareness. I know what the Christians will say, “We were created in His image.” Bullshit. If the Christ-god created mankind in its image then god must be a grandiose overweight bipolar maniac.
I believe that IF there is a higher power that that power is beyond human understanding, and if this singular omnipotent being exists I don’t believe this being could possibly have “awareness of self” as we, humans, know it. And if this higher order intelligence is not self-aware than how could anything in our lives be in anyones control other than ourselves?
edit: This power most likely has no concept of Time as we know it either.
Now put that in your chillum and have your friend light it!
I’ve actually thought about that scenario before… since I’m so repulsed by the idea of abortion, it’s a set of circumstances that pro-choicers like to throw at me a lot so I’ve come to expect it from their arsenal.
I think it really has a lot to do with the person and their ability to detach the obvious heinous nature of the offense from the innocent life that was spawned during it. That woman will probably always remember being raped and violated, whether or not she carries the child… and while it is definitely the most undesirable way to reproduce, the baby is not at fault. I can understand not wanting to live day in day out with a looming reminder of being raped, but 9 months of your life isn’t much to give up so that someone else can live… and people want to adopt healthy babies all the time. You have a beautiful opportunity to usurp a miracle out of tragedy… I say do it, but that’s just me.
Abortion is really one of those topics where there is no right answers…it’s all about what you can personally live with, I think.
I totally forgot about this thread…but man, i like it.
Not to toot my own horn but I’m glad I made it 
;D
you fuckin racist.
my one friend…an asian lad…we used to joke around and id call him a racist…and he’d fire back “i cant be racist. im a minority!!”
so i interned him.
hey, racism IS a controversial topic, after all
I’m all for Black Man’s Law

l’action est garantie.
A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.
The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, “If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a calf?”
Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, “Sure, Why not?”
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer,connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says, “You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves.”
“That’s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,” says Bud.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
Then Bud says to the young man, “Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?”
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, “Okay, why not?”
“You’re a Congressman for the U.S. Government”, says Bud.
“Wow! That’s correct,” says the yuppie, “but how did you guess that?”
“No guessing required.” answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew,to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don’t know a thing about cows…this is a herd of sheep. . .
Now give me back my dog.
