Here's why I believe in repealing Roe v Wade:

1. No one knows when life begins.

If we assume life begins at conception, but we are wrong, then we could potentially bring unwanted children into this world.

If we assume life begins later than conception (pick a month), but we are wrong, then abortion is nothing short of murder.

Give those two outcomes, I believe it's morally correct to go with the path of least risk. In this case we must assume life begins at conception. If that's the case, a fetus has rights under the law and it's a matter of civil rights - NOT the rights of the mother.

**The best rebuttal (even though I won't agree) will get a "best answer". If you're pro-life, feel free to play devil's advocate.**

Does anyone feel their use of the world wide web comes with the price of privacy invasion?
Just wondering how others viewed this in light of the increasingly Orwellian environment we live in that is headed for a New World Order.

PLEASE D0NT ASK ME WAT THE POINT OF POSTING THIS! =X THIS IS FOR SCHOOL & MY PRINTER ISNT WORKING..THIS IS THE ONLY WEBSITE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS IN MY SCHOOL SO I COULD JUST PRINT IT OUT THERE TOM!

1.The first place I remember living was at a white and green house. For some reason, this is one of my earliest childhood memory I can never forget. I was probably about three years old. I remember seeing my mother pregnant. I remember I was laughing and talking to my mom. I'm not quite sure where it was, but we probably just moved in because the place was half empty. This place makes me feel happy and secure.
2.I think that it is very important to have a close relationship with family members. I strongly believe in blood is thicker than water. They will never let you down and will always be there for you. I think that having a good relationship with your family members is the key to having a happy and stable life.
3.I think that people of the same ethnic background tend to live in the same neighborhoods, because they feel more accepted and secure. They feel like they belong with them and feel more comfortable around the people that have the same ethnic background or nationality as them. They probably feel that noone will and can discriminate them, because they all have the same ethnic background. It's also because they share the same culture and understand each other better.
4. My definition of discrimination is someone that hates on one specific group of people. It's also when someone does not treat a person equally and when someone feels more superior than someone else. It's not the black, hispanic, asian nor caucasian people that gets discriminated the most, I believe that it is the lower class. For example: if you are wealthy, people look up high to that person and they are more accepted no matter what the person's ethnic background is. The lower class people are discriminated the most in the society, because they don't have the money to live life like the middle and upper class people when it comes to material things. Most middle and upper class feel better and they feel more superior than the lower class people.
5.I tend to embarrass myself a lot but I just laugh it all off. The last time I remember embarrassing myself was when a friend and I took a bus to Millburn. We were on the wrong bus stop and the right bus stop was right across the street. When we saw the bus, me and my frend ran across the street. When we got in the bus, the driver yelled at us in front of many people because she could have hit us. We were really embarrassed the whole time we were in the bus, because everyone just kept staring at us like we're nuts.
. We were at the subway when this guy tripped. I tried not to laugh but I could not hold it and I just burst out laughing. Everyone in the subway started giggling
6.My first job was babysitting an eight-year-old girl around the summer. It was a good start for a first job, because it was not hard at all. It was so easy that I felt as if I don't deserve to get paid that much. I just talk to the kid, feed her and play sports with her for the whole day.
7.Noone in my family or relatives has died. I am not sure the family tradition of dealing with deaths and I don't want to think about death in my family.
8.The last time I felt guilty was when I lied to my friend once just to hang out with my other friends. I really felt guilty, because I ditched her more than five times. I felt even more guilty because she considered me her close friend, but I just kept ditching her. I really did not mean to ditch her so much. I just still feel very guilty whenever I think of that because I wasn't a good friend to her because of that.
9.I feel really sorry for the people in South Africa with AIDS and malaria. I saw a video of it and it really broke my heart. Especially the fact that malaria can be treated but still thousands and millions of people die from malaria due to poverty. They also don't have the proper sanitization, and they suffer greatly from hunger. The life span there is very short and few people will make it on their 60's because of these diseases. About a thousand people die from AIDS and malaria each days. Thousands of people on the other hand are infected of AIDS everyday in South Africa, and I feel really sorry for them because they can't live a normal life knowing that they can die any time.
10.I want to accomplish many things before I turn 40. One of the things I want to accomplish before I turn 40 is have a happy family. I think that having a family is the greatest thing that could ever happen to anyone. I think when you have your own family, you get more inspired to do the best you can in everything. You feel more complete and content when you have your own family and it would be lonely without a family.

Why do people need clothes. It seems that we do. But we are the only animal that needs clothes. Let's say it's a forested area in summer with abundant wildlife.

I'm only 15, but in my experience in growing up in Canarsie, Brooklyn for 9 years, and even on Long Island where i live now, i've been noticing how racist, prejudist, and hurtful people can really be. I can't count how many times i've been called a ginny, cracka, whitey, and all i've done was respect everyone a treat everyone the same like my dad taught me. I have only 2 prejudices: Muslums who strap bombs to themselves to kill other people, and filthy rich people who don't use their money for anything useful (i.e. Paris Hilton, Nichole Richie; the 2 biggest God-damned bomboes i've ever seen.) Now there's nothing wrong with havin money, just at least do SOMETHING good with it. Sponsor rebuilding schools, retirement homes, neighborhoods, feed a starving family in Africa... SOMETHING!!!
.......Keep the peace baby!!.......

I was an A student and went to community college before I decided to stop burying myself financially. I make almost $70,000 a year now as a plumber. Sure it can be physical etc., but I'm my own supervisor and have no student loans. I'm surrounded by stupid people and I can never keep up with work. So it confuses me when I see people suffering for 4 +years to make half of what I do.

Ok I'm from Europe and honestly I did not know what racism was before I came here.......Why do people judge other people by the color of their skin here? and why don't people ignore racism (it's the best way to stop it)? I have a couple of black friends and we're cool, we never use racist insults against each other even if we get in a fight.
---------------------------Racists are a low-class and ignorant people, why is it so hard to just ignore them instead of getting on the same level of ingorance and humiliation as them?

I posted a couple of questions on the health forum debating how fattening carbs really were. And there was nothing offensive about it at all, i just simply asked why medical professional like to push the idea that carbs are fattening. I posted two, because they were different questions really . I received many answers about this and then a day later I found out that both were removed. I did not understand why, maybe some of the doctors or nutritionist who posted disagreements about my opinion ,had my questions deleted? has anybody had this happened to anybody else over this? I mean I wasnt saying anything outlandish.
If I dont like the underlying statement in somebody's question, how could somebody have a question removed, if were not offensive at all, just because they disagree with it??

I used to be an alcoholic. I had a problem. Someone wanted me to join AA, but I declined. Know what I did? I stopped drinking so much. I still drink whenever I want at parites but never get out of control anymore. Why? Because I have a brain. AA is for people with absolutely no brain. Their logic is if you dont have the first drink you can't have the 15th. Yeah, and if you never get into a car you can't get into an auto accident. You see where this logic breaks down and enters the realm of stupidity.

I feel sorry for all you people that got sucked into AA and now your lives suck. Gotta go, going to have a beer and dinner with my wife.
