Back then, yes. Since the law changed and now says the world isn't flat, that is a fact.
Your brother is a lawyer and you don't even seem to grasp basic law. Pity for you.

Oh, oh... ***wipes eyes***

This is getting more entertaining by the minute. Keep on - please. I'm loving it. All of a sudden the whole world changed its shape and scientific and geological history and, and the way the universe is set, because the `law' said so and then changed its mind.

This is better than Seinfeld!

I did say you can't even grasp common law, and seem to know nothing about facts. I don't think I am the child here, you know? I actually know more than you do.

If the death penalty for example became legal again, it would be a fact to say that the death penalty is legal, depsite the fact it wasn't legal once before.
You just got get it, do you? And your brother is a lawyer. Gotta laugh at that one.

Nah, I get what you're saying. Your reasoning is just severely flawed. But I get it. A few more years at university (if you made it into one) might help you to explain yourself a little better - or at all.

I've already agreed with you anyway - the fact that laws exist is a fact. What they are laws ABOUT isn't always. It's a fine distinction, but you're not grasping it. So I'll just let it go.

So sorry I can't explain it better, but at least you get what I was meaning, I suppose.

Nobody is debating whether or not abortion is legal. The debate is over whether or not it SHOULD be legal.

Yes it should. Why? Because I do not like the idea of telling another person what they can and cannot do with their bodies. (and don't even mention the fetus being a separate body) What someone else does with their lives, and their bodies, has nothing to do with me. I have no right to judge another person for the choices they make, and neithor do you.

You just again said that it is a part of the womans body. So do you think it is just an limb? And again, you are making a choice for someone, The baby.

What are you talking about?. Religion itself is fact there is lots of religions, but no religion is based on facts. Religions are based on faith, that is were you must trust in something, not that it is proven. No countries have religious facts that contradict each other, they might have faiths that contradict, but not facts.

You are correct in your statement to Quote "no religion is based on fact" so it therefore is Fiction!
