Difference.
Posted: 09-03-06 12:28pm

Can someone please explain the difference between this and what I said a while ago to cherry 88.

i could say the same for you. I could sleep better at night knowing someone as retarded as you was no longer polluting the world and the gene pool. So please do us all a favor and take your own advice.



when I said it virtually everyone jumped on me yet here is another person saying the same thing and not a peep, why.?

I will tell you why, labels.
Just because I am pro life I am attacked but when a pro choicer said the same thing it was accepted, that is why this board will always be argumentitive.Untill both sides stop being hypocritical this board will not change.I am just has guilty of it as the next person but I have also realised what I am doing and changed the way I deal with things.
So maybe if both sides took their own to task for the name calling we could meet in the middle and I am damn sure if this board was civil then we would get some new members and maybe get rid of some of the dramatists we have here.I have been having an argument with cambion where every post to me she called me a retard, now if I had been calling her a retard then I could guarentee certain pro choicers would of jumped on me immediatly but they are conspiciouse in their absence when it is the other way round, just like when diamondsplinter told cambion to commit suicide pro life were conspiciouse by their absence, I must say though I have seen more pro lifers pulling other pro lifers than I have pro choice.Both sides are narrow minded I was told today that I could not believe in a womans right to abortion because I was personally pro life [ thanx eiri for understanding and speaking out ] so this shows that pro choice are as stuck as pro life, I think it really should be called pro and anti abortion because some agree with abortion but not the death penalty, some dont agree with abortion but do agree with the death penalty.

I voted no because if we don't agree to the right to abortion we are automaticaly women haters just like if you agree with the right to abortion you are baby haters and I can't see either side changing I know I for one will never see the need to abort so I will never agree to the right for abortion just like pro choice will never see that the fetous has the right to life so they will always fight for the right to abort there is no middle ground it is either right or it is wrong and never the stand shall change

again, we are not pro abortion, we are pro-choice, we are not small minded and we do care, it is up to those that need an abortion, that is why we are more open minded. If someone wants to carry on with the pregnancy then that is great, it is what that female and ssometimes couple wants. If you have ever been through a bad pregnancy, you might understand especially where the fetus will mature or an incest pregnancy or something like this or the mother is going thru a mentally difficult time in her life or their are a lot of reasons where a baby is not good in her life at this time, she should have this right, it is not always her fault and neither is it a easy decision.



will you please answer the original question there is no need to bring it down thankyou.Where did anyone call pro choice small minded or say that you do not care, I can not see the need to start drama here and saying stuff like that will cause drama.

In order to find a middle ground two opposing sides must both be willing to compromise their beliefs. Take the two opposing abortion sides. In order to meet in the middle...Pro-lifers would have to be willing to agree that one human life (the fetus) is an acceptable loss if another human life (the mother) wants it that way. It will never happen. Nor do I ever see pro-choicers rethinking the right one human life has over another. The mothers "choice" will always be put above the fetus' life in the pro-choice view. When you are talking about human life and death....I see very little room or hope for compromise.

People on this forum will never reach an accord or middle ground because there are way too many closed-minded immature people (looks at some of those who made posts in this thread). And the reason why no one whined and lowed at me for telling someone to commit suicide or insulting them is becuase i'm never the one who starts the fights around here - it's you damn pro-lifers. In most cases in question, it was one of you who began the off-topic debate and not me. Therefore, you are at fault for being warmongers.

You don't want to have insults thrown at you, then quit starting petty fights.

this situation goes much deeper than just this board. This board is however a good example of the real world. People don't know how to express themselves without insulting and name calling....Which can tend to lead to things much more insidious. Look at the world around us and I think you will understand what I mean. I am sorry...But it doesn't impress me....Or sway me to someones side when the only thing they have going for them is a foul mouth and an unending list of derrogatory names. That is not a debate....That is a playground argument....And I don't know about you....But I left those behind....Some years back. While I admit there are some pl'rs on here that delight in fighting instead of debating....The pc shouldn't start shining their halo's just yet either. You have a couple on here too that love nothing more than to show what true nastiness is all about. This board is for debate....And yes....If you are here you are going to be disagreed with and sometimes that can be quite maddening, but if you are looking to be constantly "yessed"....Then you need to be on the pc board and not venture to places where others disagree with you. The best way to really get someone good on a debate board is to 1)know your topic and debate it well and 2)always show enough self respect not to stoop to name calling and insults.
You know......It takes two to fight.

I believe both sides can find a middle ground, just look at me and cowboys. We both agree on basically everything.

I do think that in the end, pro-life is going to have to become less extreme, and admit that there is more than just one case where abortion is okay (more than just the case of the mother dying). That's going to be hard because some pro-life don't even approve of abortion even in that case! Some pro-lifers are so crazy that they would rather see a mother and fetus die from an ectopic pregnancy, than see the mother saved and the fetus killed.

Pro-choice has to change too. The most extreme members re going to have to admit that it is bad to take a human life, even such a young one. Or, they'll at least have to admit and consider the feelings of others, who do feel it is a bad thing. So, pro-choice is going to have to become far more proactive in promoting birthcontrol, instead of abortion. Also, we should not be promoting abortion as a form of birth control; rather as a last resort. Some pro-choicers are so crazy that they think abortion is fine as a sole form of birth control!

Some pro-lifers are so crazy they think contraception makes women promiscuous.
Some pro-choicers are so crazy they think no child should ever be born.
Some pro-lifers can't separate their religion and science.
Some pro-choicers won't even admit the fetus is alive and human.

Both sides have extremeists that need to be weeded out and dealt with.

I think .Eiri made some excellent points.

There are always going to be extremists on both sides who will see things as black and white when a subject like abortion just isn't that simple. There are also those people who thrive on being as inflammatory as possible because it gives them attention when people bite back.

Cowboys I wasn't having a dig at you - I have a bit of a fiery temper myself sometimes.

I don't think both sides can meet in the middle, unfortunately. I would love to say I believe that they could but with an issue as complex as abortion I just don't see it happening.

In my opinion, the subject of abortion is similar to that of religion; it comes down to beliefs. If you believe that abortion is simply terminating the development of an embryo/foetus which has no right to life then you are not going to be able to agree with someone who believes that, no matter how small, the z/e/f is a baby and to kill it is immoral.

Human nature means we will never all agree on everything.

i think this is the whole crux of why there is little hope of "meeting in the middle" - I personally will never believe a z/e/f has a right to life, especially one that overshadows the womans right to chose - I know some pro-lifers will never believe that a woman has the right to decide whether she continues that pregnancy or not (not talking about abortions to preserve life of the woman here).
Of course there are places both sides can agree;
if you have no objection to birth control then i'd say both sides would like to see it improved
surely we all think sex education should be better?

me I believe that they both have an equal right to life and as the one who is already here makes the decision then has it is her life then so be it.

i don't give a damn what you say to me, you illiterate waste of space. If you don't like my presence, then get off the damn board and go do something worthwhile, like parenting your kid. Funny how you're a parent and you find all this time to rant on the internet - shouldn't you be off dedicating your time to your precious angel?

You're one to talk about maturity when you are the antithesis of it. Just because you don't like my opinion isn't going to stop me from posting it.

cowboys is a man? Wow, that's one of the most pathetic examples of masculinity i've ever come across. I feel bad for his wife/girlfriend too...Then again her iq must be room temperature along with his if she got with him and had his kid in the first place.

Also, I would just love to see you guys make me leave. Since you have expressed your desire for me to leave, i'll be staying for a long, long time. People who know how to be mature and not whine at me like babies for expressing my two cents (which is what everyone else does) are the ones who I do not feel the need to rant at - a couple people in this forum have achieved this and I have respect for them and their opinions. They know who they are. However, I lose respect for those who can't handle differing opinions and who attack with immaturity, like cowboys and a few other people around here.

Anyway, i'm done arguing with this child who refers to himself as a man, which I find mildly amusing.

I would love to say, sure, we can meet in the middle but in all reality we are all different and believe differently.

I feel we are all allowed here as long as we do not call others names and go by the rules, if someone wants to talk down on me or call me names, I realize that they are just talking about themselves, I do not plan to waste my time on them, I have a life, I am much more mature then that, it is just easier to me just to ignore them and let them belittle themselves.
