No, I'm just scared of a religion that backed the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the formation of the Vatican Archives, slavery, torture, rape, murder, paedophilia, stealing from the poor to make the rich richer, the concept of the chosen man of God being selected by a panel of Bishops and the belief that to talk to an omnipotent God who 'hears all prayers' requires a Catholic Church Official to act as a middle man.

I guess you think that abortion and divorce are good for society.  I also guess that you hate me personally, and I would have to say that it wouldn't take too much for me to reciprocate the favor.

There's no point in abortion unless it endangers the mother. And divorce is good - It's letting 16 year old marry that's stupid.

If you'd bothered to read what I quoted, I was opposed to the generalized terminology and the predominantly Catholic belief that you can't use contraception and must have as many children as is humanly possible.

The way I see it, quickie divorce and abortion let people run from the consequences of their poor decisions.

Not really.

Maybe if some dude got married, realised he didn't actually want to get hitched and buggered off somewhere - yeah, that'd fit. I think we can all agree that running away is running away.

Divorce isn't running away. Neither is 'quickie divorce'. Nor abortion. The problems are being resolved; the unwanted marriage is dissolved, the unwanted fetus is terminated. The fact that you don't like those solutions isn't grounds for them somehow 'not dealing with the problem'.

If anything, forcing people to go through with things they don't want to and things that just aren't working is more like running away from the truth than divorce or abortion. Hiding things underneath a harsh morality enforced by you on everyone else is more like running away than realising and understanding that multiple interpretations of reality exist and finding a way to cohabitate with the rest of the world despite differences in opinion and philosophy.

Listen to the Blaise, for it is wise.

I'm curious, though - are you / have you ever been engaged or married?

Answered with explanation in the last post on the page.

For those that can't read it, I'm sorry.  I know aldo has access and it answers his question.

[an0n]

A yes/no would've sufficed.

from sectorgame postI can't really contribute anything useful, as I tend to empty rooms just by going in and sitting down.  No one in my life, that I can remember, has ever voluntarily spent any time with me just because they could.  So somewhere along the way I just stopped trying and now spend all of my time alone.  It's not so bad really, you just have to get used to the voices, they never actually say anything, they just murmur unintelligably.

So..you;r enot really in a good point to fairly judge then, are you?

Forced marriage and forced production of children sounds a bit controlling, which I'm sure everyone can agree. Here is a look into the lives of the Ms and Mrs Baxter:

Mrs - How was you're day?
Mr - Fine. What was your name again?
Mrs - Kelly. You met me at a gas station.
Mr - Oh that's right. Well, better start cranking out those kids.
Mrs - Oh, right...

What fun that would be.

Frankly, I'm surprised how many real-life lesbians are agressively unattractive. This is not at all the impression I recieved from uh, educational films, on the subject.

edit: Seriously, since when did every thread become "lets beat on Liberator"?

[Flipside]

I know, life is a big let-down in that respect. You think they look like Film stars and they end up looking like Dinner Ladies

I can't decide wether it's funnier if you made that up or if he actually posted it.

I do think it's just a tinge unfair to be quoting from the protected forum at SG...........

Ah well, it's between you two.

Anyway, my voices are perfectly clear and distinct....

And I have nothing against Lib at all, but I just had to siggify that comment, theres something about it that makes me laugh every time I read it

My voices are very clear:

Shoot to kill

I was refering to the video games.

Everyone thinks that if we play too many FPS games, we will turn into mass murders who know how to use every single weapon on the planet.

[Kamikaze]

Yeah, most of the time it's every single weapon not on the planet.

[Flipside]

It's strange you know, I've played most of the Need for Speed series and yet still don't drive like some kind of Phsychopathic suicide-case on Angel Dust

Believe it.

[Ford Prefect]

I think a lot of people who talk with starry eyes about the golden days marriage forget that it was nigh on impossible for a woman to get a divorce or to live on her own.
