What a Week: Graduation Today, Son to be born Monday, etc
Way happier post then the last time I logged and learned Towman died. Best of luck with the baby, wife and everything else thats on the horizon. Seems apropo to my observation: "Listen to the cry of a woman in labor at the hour of giving birth - look at the dying man's struggle at his last extremity, and then tell me whether something that begins and ends thus could be intended for enjoyment."

How about a real degen/grindier thread?
Nice work Jaybone. In the past I'm sure I would have denigrated your Vegas plans and been a negative Nancy. That's a big part of why I stepped away for a while. I'm really happy for you!

Osama Bin Laden dead
This is such an easy play to make but really is just a vacuous argument. It is a self-sealing argument that attempts to take a position that no evidence can refute. You can do better than that.

Got a DWI last night
When an officer pulls you over and starts investigating you for DUI, the officer is looking for information that the State can use to convict you. You should help yourself and not the State. In Illinois, as of January 1, 2009, if you refuse to submit to the chemical testing, and you are a first offender, the Illinois Secretary of State will suspend your license for 12 months. If you submit to the testing and fail, the suspension will last 6 months. If you are a 1st time offender, you can still drive on suspension if you get a ignition interlock device on your car. These devices require you ...

What's your take on Eugenics?
IMO, proponents of eugenics beliefs are often tainted with racism and/or elitism. It's the belief that they are superior to another and the world would be better off without those lower level people. Intelligence, ability and talent can be measured in so many ways. It's a common to insult someone by saying please don't procreate but really how can anyone accurately predict who that persons future children will become'

What's your take on Eugenics?
Niceguy, my kids did not show any of signs of possible birth defects so the desire to rule out the possibilities was minimal. Especially considering how invasive the tests are and the heightened risk of miscarriage. However, had they shown the tell tale signs of an issue, I still believe we would have continued with the pregnancy. On to your point on how a child with a defect brings no value to society. My largest concern is we have no way of knowing the level of defect pre-birth and really not until the child has reached at least 2 years of age. Many brilliant minds and some savants ...

What's your take on Eugenics?
I don't know what or if there is a correct answer. I personally don't agree with PP but I think the topic is fascinating. I'll give you a personal example, my wife and I choose not to take the pre-natal tests that can be done to determine whether your fetus might have down syndrome or other possible diseases. We turned that option down. Our decision was that no matter what we were going to keep the baby and love it regardless. I forget the stats but the % was extremely high that when parents learn that their baby will be retarded, they almost always abort the fetus. That is a form of ...

What's your take on Eugenics?
It's definitely dirty. Barbara Harris, the CEO of PP doesn't sugar coat the issue. She has done studies and fully admits the money she gives the women goes directly to drugs. In fact, her advertising slogan has been, ""DON'T Let a Pregnancy get in the way of your crack habit."

What's your take on Eugenics?
No, From what i've read it's a pretty cheap procedure though. FYI: To receive the money, the clients have to show evidence they have been arrested on a drug-related offence, or provide a doctor's certificate saying they use drugs, and further evidence is needed confirming that the birth-control procedure has taken place.

What's your take on Eugenics?
This is a spin off of ABQ's thread but it really should eliminate most of the talk of Religion. In ABQ's thread I posed the question what's your take of the group Project Protection' I specifically avoided the term Eugenics because the word has a very negative connotation. It is most infamously tied to the Nazi Movement but a little known fact is that America at one time was routinely sterilizing the feebleminded. Buck v. Bell. Today the idea of Eugenics is back on the forefront and the tides are slowing churning to possibly start accepting the potential benefits to eugenics. A group that ...

My Wife Went and Prayed at an Abortion Clinic Today
Hey OP, This is a tough situation for a marriage. I am all about the position of supporting your significant others interests but this is toeing the line. I guess a lot depends on what is occurring outside the clinic. Do they holdup heinous signs and harass the employees of the clinic and patrons' Or is it more benign, in that they just try and counsel the women' On a sub-topic, I am curious on your wife, your family, yourself and OT's thoughts on Project Prevention. For those who don't know, Project Prevention pays women who already have one child and are in fact drug addicts, $300 to ...

How Many More Libyans Have To Die?
A no fly zone won't prevent the kidnaps, tourture and execution. We should not be invading a third country at this time. Why should American lives be lost and billions spent on this civil dispute' It's horrible but so is so much in this world. It's time to fix america. Entering another battle field will only perpetuate our fall and cause further instability to an unstable region. War is never easy and rarely right.
