This is one of the few topics where I have a more conservative view. There just are other alternatives to an abortion that don't imply ending a life, like a broader and better access to sex education and contraceptives, a better safety net for young/poor parents. Even so, I still couldn't reconcile with the idea of having a woman who aborted go to jail. Having an abortion on itself is already traumatic for most people, and I'm not too keen on the idea of punishing them even more. I'd guess abortions in other serious cases like rape are just necessary evils that should be heavily controlled and restricted.

Properly cooked cow tongue is delicious. It just looks and sounds disgusting. Salami with nutella tastes way worse to be honest.

I found falling on your bare hands is worse than falling on your rear. Other than that, I really just fell a couple of times. But it was my ego that hurt the worse as I stumbled into a lady at top speed. Good times. :thumbsup:

I went Ice Skating, which is pretty awesome considering it was my first time. :thumbsup:

You can always use a safety razor; those are much easier to clean with water or a tissue.

Black tea is great, with some milk and sugar. I just love having a mug for breakfast.

The main reason we are so sceptic with Funny Pictures threads nowadays is because they've been abused a lot in the past, several times, despite some of the mods insisting on giving it yet another chance. Don't you think a forum like the one you're proposing would get even more abused?

To me, Thanksgiving is a great chance to celebrate with American family and friends and eat their delicious food, pretty much.

There's no way you might possibly need a motivational for a scholarship. But anyway, here's a link to Gimp's site, a free Image Manipulator, akin to Photoshop.

That's ballsy. It's harder for girls to back tuck because woman have more mass away from their center of gravity. Why don't you make a video? Really, I don't know what half those things are and it sounds awesome.

Self conscious. And that sucks.

Then I guess we agree on almost everything. :thumbup: Repression is often unhealthy while control is necessary to a certain extent. I just don't see the need to wholly repress gay feelings, especially if the arguments for that seem baseless. And there's no need no equate homosexuality with homosexual sex. There's more to it, just as in other relationships.

You make it sound as if gay men went around frolicking any time it was possible. [lol] Maybe "controlling urges" was a wrong choice of words. "Repressing feelings" fits better to what I'm saying. It's unhealthy to deceive yourself and live a lie just because of social pressure or religious guilt. -And that's not the same as saying people should always act on every whim that they had.- Me liking men better than women won't destruct society. And I'd say you have it easy being called a "conservative idiot" in the internet :razz: . In Catholic Latin America, it's hard enough to be a socialist, never mind an agnostic or a homosexual.

Yes, it's true. It's possible to hide your feelings and block your thoughts, and even make a life whilst rejecting that. Gay people have already became celibate and some have even forced themselves to live a heteronormative life. But that's just unhealthy and there are no good reasons people should do that, instead of heeding their emotional and physical urges.

I was that kind of guy everyone liked but nobody was friends with. Seeing others as equals was a great step for me. I'll always be shy, but I realized I don't need to be misanthropic. Forcing oneself to socialise a bit works too. I keep torturing myself over little, stupid things I did in the past, even when no one but remembers about it. And I'm gay too.

A couple of hyperinflated 1, 2, and 4 million mark post stamps from the German Reich. And a couple of coins from the Weimar Republic.

And I'll return the metaphor to you. As George Shaw said: "The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality." It's truly comforting to believe in an afterlife, but comfort alone doesn't justify a belief.

Meh. I just hate when people jump into conclusions and make broad generalizations. There are people that are changed by what they read in the forums. The fact you are so stubborn you just won't change your views doesn't mean nobody else will do it (and I'm not trying to direct this to any specific person). There are people out there who are actually interested in debating the existence of a god, and are legitimately curious about it But two sides calling each other close-minded bigots and gloating on their self-righteousness isn't a debate.

Just finished Portal. :thumbup: A fine game.

That was a bad mistake there from me, sorry. Now I see what you meant. But I do like it better like this.

Bah. Too much spam and unnecessary flaming in this thread, like mrshinyredplanet said. Take this as a last warning. Good. So we're over that now.

Please tell me if I'm right: Under this law, if someone is able to, but doesn't have any health insurance, gets an additional tax of no more than the average premium for healthcare coverage. Then, if this person evades those taxes, he might be fined with no more than $25,000, as per the current law. Am I right?

Isn't this what you're looking for?

Meh. It seems I'll have to make a clean install anyway, because the versions are different. How can I check the true amount of memory that I have? I get 3 and 4 GB from different places. :blink:

I'm reading Physical Chemistry by Peter Atkins. <_< Uni doesn't leave me with much time for leisure reading.
