    Lol, ok, I'm medicated, so I'll expound.

    Life is full of Wolves, (Those hungry in life, who let no obstacle stand in their way to achieve success) & Sheep ( Those too timid or weak minded to behave like wolves).

    Don't be dinner (Don't be caught in the way of a hungry wolf).

    Clearer?

    By the way, I have a coupon for the Clorox.

    Sex is life

    Everything is more complicated than it seems.

    Even the most complex solutions resolve into simple steps.

    Seek out happiness because it usually doesn't happen by accident.

    I know more than you because at least I know that I know nothing.

    Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Give a man a beautiful woman and he regains the will to live.

    Most people don't care about the deep issues. So don't bother appealing to deep principles. They often don't exist.

    Be you, be true (to you) be who you are, not what you are, and know two things:
    History before you, never had you. & You never asked to be born - But here you are..; Know this.

    That's one of the Dumbest comments I've heard on this board.
    " If I can't help you,I won't hurt you. "
    It means less then Nada.It's total rubbish.
    Sounds like something the Fraud Scammer Suze Ormand would
    trot-out.
    Ever heard of Not Helping equates to Hurting.
    A Pregnant Mommy is trapped in a car and a passerby
    see's her and then declares ... I can't help her.I'm late already
    for my job.Therefore I'm not helping her But I'm not hurting her
    either.

    Meaning basically to Ignore.
    Which is a major problem facing America.It's basically the entire
    rationale behind Abortion.It's not my baby so why involve myself.
    A pregnant woman gets conned into believing it isn't
    really a baby anyways.Therefore do like so many other woman and
    live and let live.Ta hell with an Innocent human life { unborn }.
    It's this very cavalier attitude or Glibness that The Biggest
    American Abortionist Pol {* Obama } lived to propagate.
    He was such a devil of a man he didn't even care about Infanticide.
    I never heard Obama or his White House complain ONCE about the Philly
    Abortion clinic doctor { Kermit Gosnell } and his virtual House
    of horrors.
    Gee I wonder why.

    * THE Only Illinois State Senator to NOT vote for an Infant
    Protection bill.Obama the devil using the language " that fetus,or
    child -- however you want to say to describe it -. "
    Obama the devil fought the people of Illinois all the way when it
    came to stopping the barbaric practice of Infanticide.Obama was THE
    only state senator to NOT support " born alive " legislation.

    Make improvements not excuses
    Seek respect not attention.

    Just image that lazy philosophy in the Middle ages.What
    if Martin Luther adopted that rationale.Or Joan of Arc.
    Even latter day saints like Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul.
    It's because of Good Philosophy we have Saints in our storied
    past.Not in spite of it.
    I think the Cavalierness of this board with all the budding leftist
    claptrap is more akin to an Ambrose Bierce definition of PHILOSOPHY :
    { n. A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing }
    Life is NEVER full of Nothingness.
    Only Human hearts can Be or Not Be.
    Full of Nothingness.

    far as I'm concerned it is up to the woman involved. It's her body. I don't believe any individual or government on this earth should be able to dictate to any woman what she can or can't do with her own body. Let the woman decide, it is her who is going to have to care for the child once born. If you think you as an individual should be able to tell a woman what she can do with her body or can't is right, that's you.

    This is where you received a terrible education.Even Birds like
    a simple Robin would never dream of abandoning their chicks,especially
    in the earliest stages.Only Man could have adopted such a Cruel and
    negligent attitude towards the Unborn { future,budding humans }.
    This is why Public Education turns out possible little monsters.
    Catholic Education used to really sparkle in this area.
    But then those like Nancy Pelosi and Chris Matthews attended
    ALL Catholic schools and for what.Matthews was even a proud
    enlistee of The Peace Corps.
    So he could back,lock stock and barrel,The Biggest Abortion
    proponents { Both Obama and Pelosi } in our history.
    Truly a demonstrable demonstration of Deconstruction.
    The Deconstruction of Rational Man.The rationale to describe
    something explaining what it's not.
    As brought into the field of thought by French Philosopher
    Jacques Derrida, the concept of definition via difference.
    " If we follow that line of thought,then we can never
    truly know the definition of anything because we can never really
    say what something is. "

    Equating a woman with a bird, alright. A bird and most other animals have instincts they follow and do little thinking, at least in-depth thinking. They are incapable. To get what you want, one would have to take society back to the 17th century, perhaps the 18th. Where women couldn't inherit property because of their gender, where women couldn't vote, where women were basically second class citizens. They did what a man told them to do with little or or no choice except for a very few women who became leaders. There are always exceptions.

    Perhaps it comes down to trying to force one's view of morality on others. Or maybe even religion. Perhaps it comes down can a man or government order a woman to give birth to a child even if she doesn't want it? Who controls the reproductive rights of a woman. A man? A Government? If so could that man or government order a woman, any woman to become a prostitute, a sex slave to others? What's exactly is wrong with letting a woman to decide whether she give birth or not. Is that a job for government or others beside that woman? I think not.

    Nazi Germany did that. They forced a bunch of women to have sex with their SS soldiers to become a baby factory producing Aryan children in hopes they might become supermen.

    True knowledge is knowing that you don't know.

    There's a lot I don't know. But there are certain decisions that should be made by the individual involved. Not by others for that individuals. Then whatever the decision is, that individual is responsible for it. Perhaps the question is do I, others, a government, know what is best in certain things, decisions, for another individual? Not all things, but certain things. To have a child or not, an abortion or not, in my opinion is a decision best left for the woman involved.

    That doesn't mean the woman can't talk it over with others. Get advice from others. But in the end, the ultimate decision is hers. She must be the one to decide whether to have the child or not.

    Rid yourself of labels such as man, woman.
    What you know tomorrow isn't always what you know today.
    Knowing that you don't know opens your mind.

    Suffering can come from within based on desire, and channelled to others if it's inflicted upon them.

    Be true to yourself, know what you want.
    Know what you like.
    Know that you don't know.
    Know that you're here.

    Abortion is IMMORAL. Has been for a long time until lefties infiltrated
    the Populace.You don't make something Moral by proxy.
    A Mother has a moral obligation for see to the well being of her
    fetus.No less than when it's outside the womb and needing hourly
    care.Who is going to decide for the Innocent unborn.For it's
    opportunities in life.
    You are worse than morally bankrupt.You think no different than
    a gang member in prison.
    Which exemplifies Obama the Devil's move to release as many convicted
    Felons as possible.In his warped thinking they deserve an Opportunity
    to be free.But not an unwanted Fetus.

    You think it's immoral, more a less a religious aspect. So are you trying to force your religious view on every American? Or your view morality on every American? Forcing religious morality via the law, government, the banning of alcohol during prohibition didn't work too well.

    Making comparison to a living,breathing,human being inside a womb
    to alcohol is about what to expect when debating a debased lefty
    given to the hysterics of Leftism.
    Morality and Religious intent should go hand-in-hand.
    So too with a civilized society.

    Claiming Abortion isn't heartless and Immoral is just pablum.

    once and for all,with LYING." -- Thomas Huxley
