I know exactly what it means and I countered all of your points to support otherwise. Your points are, it can't feel pain and it isn't viable. I stated that a person can be killed without feeling pain. Does that justify the action? Secondly, I stated that child isn't viable after 24 weeks and that a newborn will die on it's own. No one has yet countered that argument.

Since anyone can be killed without feeling pain, your argument relies on being viable, which is countered by the fact that a newborn child is MORE helpless outside the womb then it was inside the womb.
It isn't viable though. Being fragile (newborn) is not the same as not being viable (premature birth). I didn't say it was all down to if it would survive all by itself. The 50% survival rate refers to the chance the foetus has if born at that time, with all the added benefits of medical science trying to keep it alive. You're not too bright, are you?


Almalieque wrote:
You read above also. Your "defined limits" are arbitrary based on the counters I presented. No, I don't understand the need to say "okay, 50% viability is an acceptable cut off".
So what you're trying to do here is propose the argument that there is no difference between 1% and 50% because you can say "Hey, what's the difference between 50% and 49.999%? What's the difference between 49.999% and 49%?" etc. Until you get to 1%. There are differences whether you want to accept them or not. You have no argument that would stand up by itself.


Almalieque wrote:
What? I said the exact opposite. I said that no one is denying her health. So, if there is a situation where her health is in danger, no one is arguing against her having an abortion in that scenario.
So you accept the rights of the woman trump those of the foetus? Excellent.

The level of immaturity is overwhelming. You're not providing an example because it's not possible. A fact must be true, if there exist error, then it is no longer a fact. It's a very simple concept. So stop accusing me of "goal post moving", "back peddling" or any other accusation. I'm sure you spent that time trying guess my direction and to counter it. You must have came up with something or you would have kept whining. Let's see.

You agreed with the definition that I quoted that scientific theories are "constructed to explain, predict, and master phenomena".

What are the predictions? Are they predictions within the theory itself, predictions of applications of the theory, a combination of the two, something else or all of the above?
Oh my god fuck off. Your statement was wrong, deal with it. You refuse to advance your argument that "theories arise from lack of facts", even though I conceded the point you wanted me to so that you could advance your argument for this statement.

Nil, just punch him. It'd be ok, because I saw something like that on MTV.

Was it on "16 and Pregnant"? If not, it isn't valid.

I'm simply pointing out that the survival rate of a fetus doesn't matter if it survives.


So if the survival rate doesn't survive, it's game over! Yay!

Well..after watching another episode of South Park, I think Cartman's philosophy on abortion is an interesting interpretation... >.>

What I want to know is, why haven't we had an official response to the rumor that Almalieque gbaji'd a girl in 1990?

What does that even mean? Given that I was 6 at the time, I'm sure anything I potentially might have done to a girl would have been legal on my end.

But no one cares if the adult is the woman...besides, most attention is giving kudos to the boy for scoring.

Haven't heard that one? It's been bandied about here now and again (last seen during the gbaji rape fiasco).

Ba-dum-tish. And is anyone shocked that that went straight over Alma's head?

You guys, subtle jokes are not Alma's forte. You're about to start a whole new argument on the basis of a giant whooosh.

Also, Alma, if you ever do get your **** wet, I'll be the first to give you kudos, and to call you a rapist. Because I know for a fact that no woman would willingly hit that.

I wasn't being literal. Of course women get charged also, but they aren't nearly viewed the same as a man and a little girl. Once again, I'm just going off my experience of what I've seen and heard.

Actually, I know what you mean, and it's frustrating and disgusting to me. Of course the woman is just as bad or just as responsible as a man in the same situation. But people view that as a fifteen year old boy "scoring" with a hot teacher. It makes me sick.

ETA: Didn't mean to repeat what you said about the giving kudos to the boy part, sorry.

It's all good..

Scoring with a teacher is just a fantasy to have.

I'm sure those boys could smoke in the halls and be late to class after being caught doing that. When I was in high school, everyone was trying to score with one of the art teachers, who was a total hippie. The odds seemed somewhat favorable, but I'm not sure if anyone actually tried.

Apparently, our art teacher (who, when I was in high school, was an old man) fell in love with one of his students years and years before I was in high school. This was back when he taught history, and he was still older than her and she was underage. They never did anything with each other, though. They both went to her parents and explained how they felt together, but that they didn't plan to take any action on those feelings until she had graduated from high school and was legal.

He ended up marrying her and stayed with her until she died of old age. He didn't remarry, and I think he passed away recently.

Of course, stories like that are few and far between.

I apologize up front if I offend anyone, but it disgusts me when really old men get in serious relationships with really young women, especially if their daughter is OLDER than the girl.

I recently found out that one of the former female cadets I went to school with married our Master Sergeant shortly after he retired. He is at least twice her age. The guy is "hard" on the outside but is definitely a "nice guy", so it wasn't as disturbing. There were jokes about him having a crush on her, I guess they were true after all.

Most of the other stories "appear" to be old horny guys praying on young and insecure women. I know that isn't always the case, but it often comes off that way.
