  1. I thought we could show each other music we like, or loath, or adooore or anything in this thered. But you are only allowed to share one song per post, and you must comment on the song which is in the post ower yours :D. Put a link to youtube or whatever so we can hear the song, and then share your opinion!

     

     

    The knife - we share our mother's health

  2. Have you read the book? Because very clearly, at the end of the chapter, he calculates the number of people saved from homicide through legalization of abortion versus the number of babies killed through legalization of abortion. The number of babies killed was higher. He makes that very clear that this isn't supposed to be a "+ for abortion", because more lives were actually lost.

     

    EDIT:

    To add to that, when he compares babies aborted to people saved from homicide, he doesn't even count each baby as one person. As a compromise, he calculates that 1 person equals 100 fetuses. And even then, the difference between fetuses and homicide victims is extremely high.

     

     

    Yes I know that, but I don't consider abortion as a life lost. And I know the author of the book doesn't think that the quoted statement should be used as a "+" for abortion, that is my own opinion.

  3. Thank you !!

     

    I SPENT LONG LONG TIME TO MAKE THE QUESTION !

    COZ IT'S EASY TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS OR EVEN MAKE DICISIONS

     

    SO IT'S HARD TO MAKE A QUESTION FOR OTHERS and usually i don't do it

     

    I blushed for real I am hiding away

     

    Dark Choco !!!

    See, if you don't think about the question, it's like idiot walks the idiotic walk

    ipod touch :)

     

    angry or sad?

  4. LOL I disagree completely:wink2: I think if all those instances were the case than adoption is the much better alternative.

     

    NICE AVIE BY THE WAY...that's one of my favorite movies:mf_lustslow:

    But stil, you have to carry the baby, and you must go through a childbirth, for what? An embryo has DNA, but it's not a person with a lot of connectionts to other people.

     

    I don't like the propaganda that those non-abortions groups give either. all those pictures there gives me the creeps. They affect people emotionally in an unfair way.

  5. That was a very interesting read, thanks for posting.

    What's mentioned in this article and what I think is key is INFORMATION.

    Education and factual information should be readily available for everyone who needs it.

     

    Especially in the US it seems that a lot needs to be done when it comes to education. I did a massive report on teen pregnancy for uni last year and in my research I found that the US has the highest rate of teen pregnancies in the Western world mostly due to lack of eduction.

    Kids aren't able to discuss sex at home and they don't get proper sex education.

    Instead of focussing on whether abortion is right or wrong they should focus on education so an abortion is not even necessary.

     

     

    Oh I love you :wub2: :wub2:. Have you read the book freakonimics? It's VERY interesting indeed. I quote from a review...

     

    "On example of this approach is his highly contentious view that one of the main drivers of the reduction in crime in the US from the mid-90s was the legalization of abortion (in 1990 there were 2,245 murders in New York, in 2003 this had fallen to 596).

     

    Using a wide range of data and relatively simple tools, such as weighting and regression, Levitt starts by dismissing several myths about the reduction in crime that occurred right across the US. In general it was not due to increased use of capital punishment, it was not due to the booming economy, it was not due to innovative policing (although increases in police numbers did have an effect), nor was it due to tougher gun laws.

     

    Levitt showed that the bursting of the crack cocaine market (where prices fell through the floor) did have an effect (people were less willing to kill and risk being killed when the profits disappeared). But, his main claim was that a large part of the drop in the US crime rate was a direct, but unintended, consequence of the legalizing of abortion in 1973, with the Roe vs Wade Supreme Court ruling. Since the ruling there have been about 1.6 million abortions a year, amongst a population of 225 million.

     

    Most of these abortion relate to women and girls who felt they were unable to be mothers at that time (too poor, too busy, emotionally unready, too career oriented, addicted to drugs, in a bad relationship, in no relationship, victims of rape and incest – the reasons why these women felt that they should not be mothers are almost endless).

     

    The data showed Levitt that many of these 1.6 million fetuses would have gone on to be criminals in the 90s and beyond, he does not say all of them, or even most of them, but that a significant minority of them would have been criminals."

     

    Another + for legalization, or what?

  6. On facebook it stands that my political viuw is apathetic. But I'm really not, I just think it's hard to know enough to say that I think that or that in general. If I was allowed to vote in the US, I would definitly go for one of the democrates candidates. I think something has to be done about the health insurance system, and I also think that new people has to look at the mess in Iraq. Those who are ruling it now is obviously not cabable of doing what has to be done.

     

    The illegal immigrants are also a great, grate issue. What would happend if an amnesty took place? I don't think there is a slightest chance it would happened, but I like it as an intellectual experiment.

     

    It is harder in sweden. We havn't got as big problems as america. I know most people inherit the opinions of their parents (and neighborhood!!!), but I don't know if I will.

     

    All the parties here are want free abortion, which education you would like whitout paying a lot for it (everyone can be a doctor or lawyer without a lot of money if their marks are good enough, or if they scored high enough on a "university test", and you cannot pay for those educations).

     

    The parties here, the non-socialist and the other ones, are quite the same. But there are diffrencies in the labour market policies and in their way of dealing with taxes. And there are also differences in their work for equality between the sexes, but the critical issue for me is the climate changes.

     

    I belive that the green party would to most for the world. They are most redical in their plan for redution of CO2, and I think that we need that. I wont die with less guilty conscience if I wote for them in the election -10, but I hope they will force us to do something. Humanity extinction will still be very likely, and I know a vote is a very small thing, but it is something.

     

    Now I think I will try to look at what other ones has written...

  7. dun it? I am so proud too,they are the next step in evolution ,they must be! 105.gif

     

    yeaaaah omg omg omg omg they must be!!! you really said something there... Oh they will find the solution to the climate changes, the poverty in the world AND the Israel-Palestina conflict. It's great that the world has got them to save itself.

     

     

    :wub2: :wub2: :wub2: übermensch finally!!! :wub2: :wub2: :wub2:

  8. oh no worries,germany has sheduled neo-nazi vs skinhead fights on a regular basis

    it's cute when they start because no one goes out on the streets,or well,those particular streets that night

     

    How I looooove beeing the same kind of creuature as them! Really makes me feel hope for humanity.

  9. Oh thanks for this thread! I will read the picture of dorian gray after the 4? books I must read before. Is the english in it very hard to understand? I cound read it in swedish ín that case.... what do you think :D?

  10. Well there are a LOT of them here, especially in my town.

    The hight of the lamp posts were raised to become the highest in europe because of the damage to them and the people climbing them, we also have europes 3rd highest underage pregnancy rate and 2/3 of our 'young people' have ASBOs (Anti-social behaviour orders - a kind of a written police warning with restrictions and future punishments if behavior continues).

     

     

    hahaha what a misery! You have to become a skilled scientist and do some psykosocial experiments. well, here we have a nazi-parade every year :boxed:... A skinhead was killed seven years ago and became a martyr for those freaks. And the worst is that the "left radicals" (don't know the expression in english), that actually have something to say, also fight and destoy display windows, throw stones at the police and all of that.

     

    How I hate IQ-liberated folks!!!! aaaaaargh! and there are bunches of danish and dutch people who come here every year to fight that day. Sweden is said to be a calm and nice country, well not my town every 6:th december.

  11. Oh :(... really the animals is great to have, espesially horses are a very good way to do something with ones life in the days. haha I can hardly imagine life whitout a horse, what do other ones do in their spare time?
