Hello again,
Here's a bumper sticker for you... If men got pregnant, abortions would be available in a barber shop.
excon
Here's another one, if women had to work the working day would be one hour long
If men got pregnant... there would be far more REAL birth control used.Quote:

Like those poor women in Philadelphia and Delaware?Quote:

Maybe you don't remember the days when people knew people who would be willing to break the law and put females at risk. That was before Roe V Wade. Abortion didn't start in America in the 70's. Its been a practice for centuries all over the world. The women just never told the men what they knew or did with their knowledge.
Like I say, well to do females have ways that the poor ones don't, and always will. You have heard me say many times that education and resources reduces abortions and that's a good thing.
Solve poverty, you solve the need for PP.
We can't solve poverty by keeping people dependent on government handouts.
So how do you solve it?Quote:

Its so hard to explain what a person goes through that has lost everything they have built for 10,15, 20 years and tries to start over. What does it say when TWO Walmart workers have to have a hand out?
Notice I said circulated, not redistributed. Your idea of a hand out is another families helping hand. Millions of people didn't just quit their jobs for a handout. They got laid off for long periods, or they got laid off permanently. Worse the job market is tight, and some employers don't even hire unemployed people or low skilled workers.
But they scream they need trained people from overseas to fill their openings. There are many things at play that makes people dependent on government. Cheap labor means poverty my friend, and wages are stagnant. Has been for a long time. Retraining is necessary, expensive, and time consuming, and you still have to pay the rent and lights.
Or be dependent on mom and dad if you have one that's got loot.
Uhh no... do you think only poor women wack their babies ? Do you think only the uneducated have unprotected sex ? There is no way you could pin 50 million executions of babies on poor and uneducated . There is also no way you could convince me that over a million babies were being wacked annually when the procedure was illegal . Yes there were abortions before 1973... But it is undeniable that there has been a proliferation of them since it became legal to kill a baby .Quote:

There are also more women hanging about since 1973. So what's the solution? I'm still stuck on the parents teaching their children (both boys and girls) to respect their bodies and not have kids until they are emotionally and financially ready. Now, what are we going to do about TV and movie people and the "free sex" image they project? Even the prime-time sitcoms get into it and show sex as an everyday normal thing and just part of dating like holding hands. And we are still in that "instant gratification" mode -- if it feels good, do it.Quote:

OK Tom we can all identify the problem but we have to be part of the solution.Quote:

Indeed . You talk about solutions and the only one I can think of is a rejection of the humanism that has led society down the road to perdition.Quote:

Too bad there is no national registry for cars or that states don't cooperate in giving out information.Quote:

Interesting argument
Gun owners are all sober and sane?Quote:

There is no national clamor for gun legislation. The fact that the Emperor has to go across the nation campaigning for it shows that it is not on the top of the national agenda. Trumped up polls that show approval of back round checks paint an incomplete portrait of the landscape . Instead of demonizing a lobby group ,of which a false claim is made that it is driving the pro-gun side ;everyone should consider why exactly the NRA has such influence. The answer is that the populace favors their efforts to support 2nd amendment rights.Quote:

Newton, as Wondergirl argues , is an example of the breakdown of family and core values of what made this country great and exemplifies the lack of acceptance of personal responsibility and a of moral compass. No gun legislation is going to fix that .
That's a good idea.Quote:

Perhaps ;but the enlightenment thinkers had a solid moral foundation . You cannot honestly dismiss the role of Christianity in the formation of the United States society ;and I suspect yours. When I speak of humanism ,I am speaking of the late 20th century construct ;which is heavy on relativism .
Well, I guess they did.But I think you are going to have problems arguing that the various moral theory that derived from the Enlightenment were not "solid" The scientific possibilities that arose from the Enlightenment was a rejection of the "solid" element of morality. That was the whole idea.Quote:

My society had as its basis many different founding traditions including Christianity. The most dominant founding tradition was the belief that we were a working class nation. I would like to think that this tradition is still strong in the Australian psyche.
When you speak of humanism of course you are speaking of "relativism". When talking about the Enlightenment and the scientific possibilities... You expect to be talking about something else?
