Much of the moral argument, is against the single woman, to demonize her as immoral, when in reality and never discussed is the married woman and husband who already have kids and definitely don't want anymore.

This is a personal moral issue, which the government may never take claim to, if it did we would be under some form of dictatorship.

The fear of having children within the single woman community may disperse if society continues to cease critical moral judgment upon them as in the past, leaving the woman more apt to accept having a child on her own. This stigma may also allow some woman to be openly pregnant and willing to give it up for adoption.

But I believe our focus should be in promoting prevention, through the different avenues such as the day after pill and not get caught up in the nano second of conception.

Glaucon

Well thought out and rational rather than totally emotional.

Actually as of 2015 there were 536 Billionaires in the USA more than twice as many as any other country with China following as number two. The beauty of capitalism. Isn't it amazing that the old worn out c*******t propaganda slogan, " redistribution of wealth" has gained such popularity amongst the ignorant? Pure Obamanism! Oh yes, this crap is being taught in schools now and is one of the reasons for the popularity of the youth v****g for the Marxist progressive atheistic hedonistic American mob. People like yourself.

How do the private donations to dems compare to private donations to their donations to republicans?
And how do federal employee unions donations to dems compare to their donations to republicans?
How do all unions in the US donations to dems compare to their donations to republicans?

If I could dictate to our "government", I would disallow ALL DONATIONS TO ALL POLITICAL ENTITIES. THEY DON'T NEED DONATIONS IF THEY ARE SATISFYING THEIR CONSTITUENCY, AND IF THEY ARE NOT SATISFYING THEIR CONSTITUENCY, THEY SHOULD BE KICKED OUT OF OFFICE. But somewhere back long ago SOMEONE started buying officials, and the other side had to join in or our nation would have become a dictatorship. But, now we have no representative government as we are supposed to have, and we PAY them a fine salary with fine perks, and STILL have to pay them to run for e******ns then pay them to do every little thing we need or want. I'm sick and tired of it.

When a nation becomes as d********gly inept as ours has become, mostly because of money on ALL SIDES, the chances for it to right itself is practically nill.

Artemis

Quite pessimistic Tas? For the most part we know what needs to be done, maybe the people need to step forward by proposing more bills to make these changes, as in some of the things discussed on this forum, as gerrymandering, lobbyists, limited terms, citizens united, etc.

One could safely say I am VERY pessimistic. Have watched our nation go from slowly disappearing to one fell swoop into total degradation and idiocy while one side cheers. It seems lots of citizens are happy our nation is falling into chaos and amorality. I am not one of the happy ones at this tragedy, and I don't think most are, but those who accept it are as guilty as those who produce the chaos.

Many people I know ARE doing what they can to turn things around. I have written up an entirely new way to do fair and equal campaigning without one red cent being given to any candidate but with a minimum of tax payer dollars given evenly to each candidate- no more,no less. I couldn't even get people here on OPP to give opinions. All they would offer is more "but, but, but". I think our e******ns are corrupted by politicians and their minions. I distrust the counting of b****ts. I distrust the media. I distrust most politicians. I think NOTHING IS GEARED TO HONEST E******NS. But why be pessimistic? It's only the once best nation in the world. Yep, why worry?

Glaucon

It seems what you are trying not to notice is that our nation's wealth HAS ALREADY BEEN REDISTRIBUTED. You are a tool of the privileged and they may give you some crumbs for your fawning, groveling submissiveness. People like yourself.

mwdegutis Loc: Illinois

And you appear to be one of the privileged few given the numerous times you've bragged about how well things are going for you.

padremike Loc: Phenix City, Al

That member on top of your shoulders , which is used only to keep your ears separated one from the other, fails to recognize that your Marxist friends have put more people on welfare, food stamps, etc, than any other time in our history paid for by those who work even if they work at minimum wage jobs. Those who have worked for their success and wealth did not steal it from anyone like the filthy lying Marxist atheist claim. I'm certainly not wealthy but every cent I ever made I worked for and earned.

Glaucon

Yes, I am. I was privileged not to be a whiner and to learn to play very successfully in the r****d game our economy has become. I don't brag, but I don't withhold facts, either.

I hope you can experience some success in your life so you can ease up on your attacks on me and spend more of your time doing something less ego defensive and more effective in getting you wh**ever it is you want.

Glaucon

Your fantasy is mostly made up of factoids and insults.

It must be difficult to have the pain in your back from keeping your head in that dark, moist, smelly place.

Glaucon

You should strive to keep your member on your shoulders and not up your ass.

How do you manage to avoid so much information and collect so much misinformation?
