    Poland: Abortion ruling and mass protests

    I don't really know where I sit with those other topics, but for abortion is pretty obvious. I'm not really sure if sterilization is the answer or not really... I do think an argument can be made, but who to enforce it? That's sort of the problem... :D

    Poland: Abortion ruling and mass protests

    I consider one cell alive rather consistently, so let's not limit to the concept of a fetus. This is biological reality -- everything else is someone else's religion. (Whether they religion is popular scientific dogma or someone's scriptural beliefs and views... ) If you smashed a fertilized...

    Poland: Abortion ruling and mass protests

    You bring up a point here, but I disagree with what autonomy means. :D I don't think you have autonomy when you checked in a new lodger, lol. I also fail to see where abortion makes for a 'choice' as if everything in your life is better because you're without a child. That's a hard argument to...

    Poland: Abortion ruling and mass protests

    I'm not in touch with Poland's religious views or whatever, nor do I claim to be. I think abortion on the basis of defect is a pretty tough sell too. (Where do we stop the criteria? Mentally handicapped? People under 80 IQ? Hmm... seems arbitrary in the first place.) Murder is murder to me, and...

    Poland: Abortion ruling and mass protests

    Well, I'm obviously not on the 'pro-life' wagon if I recommend contraceptives, lol. But, there is no world that isn't completely whack as **** that would accept abortion is anything but a ghastly and grotesque activity. It's just a symptom of the collective mental disease the permeates the...

    Poland: Abortion ruling and mass protests

    It's never OK to kill or prevent a life. Anyone that thinks so to me needs a head check. Sex comes with risks and you should be willing to assume them if you decide to be engaged in it. Birth control isn't 100%, nor is any other contraceptive. Abortions aren't even 100% (yeah, look it up)... If...

    Poland: Abortion ruling and mass protests

    To me it's not even a liberal or conservative issue really... The need for abortions is mostly the result of people acting like fools. You're clearly explained somewhere about age 10 (maybe less) that men and women doing sex make kids. You're certainly educated by age 13 on what condoms and...

    Poland: Abortion ruling and mass protests

    No, on that note. As much as liberals would like to get into a tizzy about anything Amy Coney Barrett is a pretty moderate and highly qualified person. Even the left didn't try to come at her on anything of substance, as they would have been truly destroyed in the press, lol. They spent their...

    Apparently some Democrats don't think black people can think for themselves

    Yep, and like I said it's easy to sit there criticizing someone who is dealing with a historic pandemic event. The complexities of the scenario are difficult for everyone and the ball is going to be dropped periodically as the resources are lined up. There has been nothing like this, and there...

    Should we house the homeless and feed the hungry?

    Yes, because if you don't they get sick and the diseases don't care about your status of wealth. It's generally completely sensible to provide the safety net to others for this reason -- it eliminates epidemics, the eye cancer of people sleeping in the streets, and it also drastically curtails...

    NaNoWriMo 2020

    Ugh, man I've tried so hard and failed with that so many times. Someday maybe, lol.

    Apparently some Democrats don't think black people can think for themselves

    You have a very good point, and likewise it's easy for Biden to spout trash about how Trump handled the pandemic from the sidelines and so on for this very reason as well. The truth is none of us in Trump's position would have a freaking clue what to do any more than he would -- we have our...

    Apparently some Democrats don't think black people can think for themselves

    I'd have to say that while I'd have sympathy from your notion I don't think intelligence has anything to do with it. Tribes do, but there are smart people on both sides of the aisle as well as the dummies -- both of them are in various 'tribes' that vote a certain way. It's not necessarily about...

    Apparently some Democrats don't think black people can think for themselves

    YMMV with that concept.... So, just going on my life experience: 1) Black males aren't married to politics and their ideas are mostly in motion as a reflection of their life situation. They typically will vote for whomever is directly helping them. A huge amount of them are swinging Trump in...

    Solar is now the cheapest form of energy

    That's about the only thing you can do, but there becomes an another obstacle in that the power use of our buildings is just going to keep going up. All we gotta do is have the quantum type personal computer occur (coming soon) and computers will use power like the 1980s again, but nothing else...

    Solar is now the cheapest form of energy

    I've never actually thought cost was the biggest barrier. (probably true in the 80s-90s) I think the real barriers are: 1) Space. Solar has low power output density for the space required. This is not necessarily a problem in the western half of the USA (what else are you going to do with...

    Are most people critical of New Age?

    Dunno, I never really was good enough with astrology to have a comment of it. I've tried it out, but it seemed like one of those books where you got every answer and you can just make it say anything. Personal spiritual systems often evolve into 'frankensteins' and it's rather par for the...

    Are most people critical of New Age?

    ' Apparently, you don't know many people from my generation. They're all on pills, lol. Anxiety, depression, pain, heart, diabetes, you name it. People who are younger than 35 right now are even taking more. I take vitamins only as I don't like fish enough to eat them to get my omegas, but I...

    Are most people critical of New Age?

    Yeah, I find that amusing. However, there are tons of hospitals seeking reiki practitioners to help them offer alternative offerings, and I'd hope you study the subject a bit more than a Wikipedia article. Here's a good one to start... Reiki Can’t Possibly Work. So Why Does It? Personally, I...
