"1. Humans obtain their inalienable rights purely by being a human being. From the moment of conception, a distinct human being, with its own unique genetic signature, has been given rise - thus from the moment of conception a human being starts to exist and as such, with conception the inalienable rights are also given to the human merely for existing as a human being.
….
The parents are generally always responsible for the creation of the fetus, so they should have the moral obligation to support the life of that fetus. If they do not want the child, they can give him/her up for adoption - adoption is not some myth. We must also strive for the creation of institutions that would take care of unwanted children in a loving, productive environment. Murder is not an acceptable alternative for a civilized nation."
Aren't the parents responsible for the death of thier baby? If you do believe that the baby is a human being at the point of conception then consider this… Every woman that has ever had any abortion and any father who has helped their “companion” through the abortion has to live with the fact that they killed their baby. Almost everyone here agrees (at least on your side) that a baby is a human being, some will even saw that at fertilization they are a human being. So acknowledging that fact… “How do you think the woman feels?” Its not as if she doesn’t get emotionally damaged after such. She has to live with (what you would suggest) murder.
As a "civilized organization" we should understand the reasons for people doing the things they do and accept them for themselves and their actions. As a "civilized organization" we should know about these things.... knowing that more gruesome and harsh ways to pass happen everyday. As a "civilized organization" we should understand that it is their choice to do these things... and if we dont agree we try to talk them out of it (if that doesn't work then that is thier subject to work out). Other people have no right to impose their views on us, if we make a “bad decision” or “something in spite of god” then let the penalty fall onto us… I’m sure if we were all really “civilized” we’d understand.
"Given the fact that pregnancy lasts 9 months, one needs to ask themselves - Is murder justified by temporary inconvenience?"
No, to think that a baby is a "temporary inconvienience" would be wrong. The judgement in most abortions is this... "How can I support this baby?" "How can I afford it?" "How will I raise it?" The parents dont think on a "this is now" basis they also think of the larger picture and how the baby will be affected. Not to mention… going through the system is tough for kids.
People are people, what they do with their lives is completely up to them, and if they choose to end it then allow them to end it. "It isn't your choice." But it IS your choice to try and understand their feelings. No matter what, it does get better, you have to stick around until then.
Hmm, maybe so, but why Shikamru and Choji?

I think scaphism is probably one of the most horrible ways of punishing someone... A long lingering death...
The Persians outvie all other Barbarians in the horrid cruelty of their punishments, employing tortures that are peculiarly terrible and long-drawn, namely the ‘boats’ and sewing men up in raw hides. But what is meant by the ‘boats,’ I must now explain for the benefit of less well informed readers. Two boats are joined together one on top of the other, with holes cut in them in such a way that the victim’s head, hands, and feet only are left outside. Within these boats the man to be punished is placed lying on his back, and the boats then nailed together with bolts. Next they pour a mixture of milk and honey into the wretched man’s mouth, till he is filled to the point of nausea, smearing his face, feet, and arms with the same mixture, and so leave him exposed to the sun. This is repeated every day, the effect being that flies, wasps, and bees, attracted by the sweetness, settle on his face and all such parts of him as project outside the boats, and miserably torment and sting the wretched man. Moreover his belly, distended as it is with milk and honey, throws off liquid excrements, and these putrefying breed swarms of worms, intestinal and of all sorts. Thus the victim lying in the boats, his flesh rotting away in his own filth and devoured by worms, dies a lingering and horrible death.
—Zonaras, Annals[3]
[The king] decreed that Mithridates should be put to death in boats; which execution is after the following manner: Taking two boats framed exactly to fit and answer each other, they lay down in one of them the malefactor that suffers, upon his back; then, covering it with the other, and so setting them together that the head, hands, and feet of him are left outside, and the rest of his body lies shut up within, they offer him food, and if he refuse to eat it, they force him to do it by pricking his eyes; then, after he has eaten, they drench him with a mixture of milk and honey, pouring it not only into his mouth, but all over his face. They then keep his face continually turned towards the sun; and it becomes completely covered up and hidden by the multitude of flies that settle on it. And as within the boats he does what those that eat and drink must needs do, creeping things and vermin spring out of the corruption and rottenness of the excrement, and these entering into the bowels of him, his body is consumed. When the man is manifestly dead, the uppermost boat being taken off, they find his flesh devoured, and swarms of such noisome creatures preying upon and, as it were, growing to his inwards. In this way Mithridates, after suffering for seventeen days, at last expired.
—Plutarch, Life of Artaxerxes[4]
Well, I think very grey here.
The deal is that at the end of the day, if you had an abortion, well you just killed a future human being. It doesn't matter when conception is or when YOU think that baby actually turned into a real human being. You just killed a life, a future.
So yes, at the end of the day... Abortion is essentially murder.
However, I think that under any circumstance, a woman should be able to abort her own baby. A woman has her right to her body, it is going to be her pain and her blood and tears going into this young's life. If a woman strongly believes that she isn't prepared for parenthood then she has the right to her own body.
It is also the right to her mind. Abortion is not easy, just like any type of surgery it leaves scars. Not only the physical ones but also the mental ones. Women have to deal with the thought of the murder of their own child for the rest of her life. She has to think of the suffering of that child and the pain of her child... That was never even born.
Abortion is also risky, woman and their... Umm...... "companions"/companion..... Should talk over the risks of the surgery and the abortion itself.
Uhm, I'm sorry, but by all respects.
What the F#*%?!

No, we shouldn't unite all the countries of the world. Everyone has their own differences, and to be quite fair and realistic, if It did happen then it wouldn't last long.
We already have large cultural boundaries separating us, such as the Middle East and America(example.... Not the only people we'll have problems with). We Americans already have had a taste of the most violent of those people. There is a wide spread resentment towards the Middle East in general. The Middle East (like anybody would) probably takes this to heart and returns the hate... With well, hate. So we already have 2 very distinct and pivotal regions fighting against each other. This would only cause problems later down the road.
World peace is also not economically feasible.... Because everyone wants a fair amount of everything, the only real choice for government would be either communism,socialism,or capitalism(which would inevitably put us where we are now). Think of this... Civil war and [perhaps] poverty would motivate this "country" to return to their separate selves...

(The Middle East,mainly for its oil reserves. Oil is the largest market in the world as of now, and the world depends solely on oil for their resources. America, mainly for its international trade and "riches." Not to mention that they could blow up your country with a push of a pen and. A smile.)
M a Christian for example.... Your morals and judgements are shared with billions of other people.
Morality is a mine field,you walk into it blindfolded and you'll get killed... If your morals are not further backed up by science or other sources than... Well...
Morality is no longer a valid argument unless proven by science... At least morality motivated by religion.
Marriage... Marriage began as a business agreement between 2(or more....) families to combine Resources between them. The arguement that marriage is a religous binding and that it is strictly between this and this kind of individual is none-the-less wrong. Besides, marriage even now is longer just a religous binding, it is a legal significance "The Church does not rule the state." If a heterosexual couple is allowed to engage in these legal matters, then shouldn't a homosexual one?
Be as cruel as up you want.

Exuse me, what did you just say? I text alot and SMS myself, but just like texting and other things, there is a time for things.
Pop music is Pop music, it is more geared towards the liking of the public. The public, being a younger audience(such as a teenage audience). People who like country can be young, but a large amount of them are adults and more "mature" individuals(which would explain why they don't like pop all that much).
I've come to like all music, except for country.(At least the Poppy stuff like Taylor Swift. Which i don't think is really country at all.) I like pop music better.

Until a man understands the pain of pregnancy and the pain of terminating it... it will always be the mother's choice.
Schools should not create dress codes.
On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.
Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things.
I don't believe in God because the scientific evidence of today extensively competes with that. Call me a Darwinist if you wish... but I believe in the theory of evolution. I have no interest in Christianity because if we are the REAL sons of god, then wouldn't we all be indeed perfect. Sure, I know that Jesus once walked on this earth and sure, I believe that there's something up there.
BUT IT ISN'T NECESSARILY GOD.
Jesus is a god.
Because Jesus is the flesh and offspring of god, he is a god himself.
Yes, it would be alot more efficent, and not to mention it would be less money and ecological waste.
I'm not really a christian... i just dont have a religon.... so agnostic.
As long as there are people who have conflicting judgements, there will never be a movement that will change EVERYTHING.(Sure it might change one ethnic or one group of people who share the same thoughts.... but it isnt enough to change them).
