Wait a second, I just want to say that I am pro-choice. I just don't agree with the words Moorpark Queer and Zach are choosing to use. Cheer her on and dandy are not words I would use.

Sorry I didn't have it in the usual bold, I couldn't help myself, I had to copy and paste it and then try to fix some of her grammar, I couldn't do it all though because I wanted to keep it close to the original and I don't have time to rephrase the whole thing...First of all my mom works for the govt. so these "I hate the govt." statements peeve me a little." As much as most of you hate to admit it (and myself included) the U.S. is one of the best places to live. I don't think you guys realzize just how lucky you are.

You want people to vote based on their IQ Amanda? People are born with their IQ meaning a 6 year old could have an IQ of 200. Does this mean they should get to vote? NO! They don't really have any idea what is going on at politics and they shouldn't have to. Just because somebody may not have a high IQ doesn't mean they shouldn't get to vote. They have their own values and opinions too.

Why does the economy piss you off? Our economy is going so well right now and I don't think it has ever been better. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

You think the economy stinks Zach? More people are coming out of the poverty level everyday and more and more people are coming off of welfare.

I'm not for banning all guns. I am for making stronger gun control laws and actually following through on them. That would be the ideal. I own a couple of guns, or actually my dad does. (a .22 calibur and a bb rifle gun) I love going out back and shooting at a target (yeah, I know illegal, I don't want to hear it) or going to a shooting range. Guns can be used for recreation also and it's something I enjoy doing.

As Tom said,

"and it doesn't make me very mad that some people live WAAYYY better than me."

I have no problem either if someone is living better than I, as long as I know they worked harder than I did. I don't want someone who steals ideas and denies the profits to the inventor or innovator, and I don't want someone who takes advantages of others to 'strike it rich.'

"don't you think if the people in the world were educated, they could rise up against any governmental uprisings?"

One woman wrote a book about it. It was called [u]The Deliberate Dumbing Down Of America[/u] or [u]...Of America's Children.[/u] It was something similar to that. I heard it in the car on a radio talk show. It was an interesting topic. I have a lot of opinions about education as well. Especially its reform.

As for government, I have very little knowledge of the government and political systems, although it does interest me.

The best and perhaps only way for a Utopian society would have to include a small population with an equal respect being rampant through out the community. Of course there are other factors that could add, but without those two, it would be hard to keep a decent society.

"chime in on a few thoughts"

"who takes advantage* of others"

That second quote was from Zach.

Is there no UBB code for 'underline'? I figured thats what it would be, but I guess not.

Normally I reread the post before I submit it, I must have forgotten. My apologies.

I agree with whoever stated that abortion is right if they are raped or something, because it sometimes isn't their fault that they have been raped. On the otherhand, if someone is having unprotected sex and isn't married, then they really have no right to have a abortion. That's what the community say's, but shxt, I don't really care if they do it or not, it's not something that I personally have to deal with.
My girlfriend and I are sexually active, but use protection everytime we have sex. Without it, it would just be stupid. One time, while having sex, the condom broke and we took action right away. Even though it was a spermiside condom which usually kills the spermies right when they touch it, we went to get some pills. I don't know if you would consider that abortion because it was like the next day, and if any spermies actually made it to the egg, it didn't have a chance to actually become a "living" thing yet. Abortion should only be called abortion if the fetus is actually a fetus. Not if it's just a egg with a little tadpoll swimming around in it. Know what I mean.
I know my fact's are a little weird and my posting might sound fxcked up, but I just wanted to put in my 2 cents. Don't hate me for it

The "pills" you mentioned I'm assuming were the same ones I mentioned earlier. The 'after-morning pills.' You described them only as "some pills," but from the rest of the context, they sounded like AM pills. No one really answered me when I asked if they considered that abortion.

i agree with piff. drane and zach - dont you realize that you are killing your flesh and blood? what if your parents decided, "oh i wanted a girl let's kill the baby." because that's what you are doing. abort is a fancy word for kill, killing is illegal no matter what age. who gives a crap what other people think, it's your baby. you don't base life on other people's happiness. yes, it would be hard telling your mom/dad that you are pregnant at let's say 15, 16 but, it's way harder to imagine yourself killing a living creature inside of your body. there is many adoption agenicies.
it also sounds like from heath's post, he is 13. "i don't know how you can think abortion is wrong. you gotta put yourself in the person's shoes to really have an opinion.
i think if i was like 15 or 16 and i got pregnant (stfu.. it's an example), i wouldn't want to have a child. think of the critisicm you AND your family would take, the neglection of school work and all the time and hard work it takes raising a child. "
none of those are logical reasons to abort a baby. i'm sorry if you didn't want a child to burden your life but, dont get into bed and spread your legs. some of you people are so ignorant i swear. it makes me mad that some of you want to kill a living creature because it isnt convinient on your life, on your families life, because it isn't smart.

if abortion became legal do you morons realize how many people would kill their babies? that's like saying 'go have sex before marriage, abortions legal!'
