The pope is not God. He has no right to make such a judgment. Life is what it is, life. I always thought that the word of the Pope is the word of God?

Was it not the Pope (not sure which one) that said that a foetus is not human until 40 days after conception?

Greatest American Rock Artists/Bands
In recent years I have been incredibly impressed with The Killers, most other non english decent rock bands tend to be from canada rather than america.

Abortion Opinions (no flaming)
Unfortunatly it is very difficult to get REAL facts on abortion. At least it is via the internet, I cant exactly speak to someone in Government like i can in England. All of the "Facts about Abortion" sites are all run by pro-life and church groups, all of them seem to quote each other as sources so it is incredibly hard for me to find some valid data to look at and post about. Besides, I am not the one that has to challenge the statistic you gave. I have asked you to PROVE your statistic with reputable sources such as census data, medical journal or neutral 3rd parties. --- I have been able to find a few UK research on abortion but not much, unfortunatly I cant access all of the National Statistics records from my home compter. The figure I have are from 2001 and a bit out of date but I do hope you will agree that it is a valid representation. The rates for all women residents age-standardised to the European population for ages 15-44. The crude and age-standardised rates for 2001 are based on 2001 population of 58,789,194 (Census 2001) I will use the following key for showing statutory grounds. [*:1gsdur70]A - the continuance of the pregnancy would involve risk to the life of the pregnant woman greater than if the pregnancy were terminated; [*:1gsdur70]B - the termination is necessary to prevent grave permanent injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman; [*:1gsdur70]C - the continuance of the pregnancy would involve risk, greater than if the pregnancy were terminated, of injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman; [*:1gsdur70]D - the continuance of the pregnancy would involve risk, greater than if the pregnancy were terminated, of injury to the physical or mental health of any existing child(ren) of the family of the pregnant woman; [*:1gsdur70]E - there is a substantial risk that if the child were born it would suffer from such physical or mental abnormalities as to be seriously handicapped or in emergency, certified by the operating practitioner as immediately necessary [*:1gsdur70]F - to save the life of the pregnant woman; [*:1gsdur70]G - to prevent grave permanent injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman. Here is a chart showing some stats for you, I am not sure exactly what information should be public so i removed a few bits, sorry. If anyone wants to know this please speak to your local council who will put you in touch with someone who can give you this data. If i read this correctly there were 176,364 legal abortions performed in 2001, 164,306 of which were performed because the continuance of the pregnancy would involve risk, greater than if the pregnancy were terminated, of injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman. Now i'm not too amazing at maths but that equates to about 93% of all abortions. 95% because the parents coudlnt be bothered...? Laughably made up.

Nice of you to post a "statistic" from such a biased source. Which medical journal did this 95% figure come from? According to the site it was a pro-life charity, I hardly think that these people can be trusted to provide unbiased data. As a research seeing this kind of statistic with no notes as so the sample group/size etc I can quite happy ignore this completely as bogus. I personally belive that the statistic is FAR inflated from the truth. You cant just say that all the reasons for abortion other than rape or incest etc are simply because the mother "doesn't feel like having a kid" thats absurd. There are incredible financial and social issues involved in having a child. Its not like 9 out of 10 of those women are like "naa i dont really fancy a baby today ill pop into town and get rid of it". What a crazy website full of misinformation and bias.

Rick is right, I personally belive it is illegal because it contravenes human rights and I dont belive state law should have presedent over that.

Abortion Opinions (no flaming)
Bumping this because it has come to my attention that South Dakota has signed into law a bill banning most abortions. That means it a crime for doctors to perform terminations. Exceptions will be made if a woman's life is at risk, but not in cases of rape or incest. BBC This is discusting and I am sad that a law such as this has even been allowed to pass. If a country tried this in Europe the European Court of Human rights would have quashed this illegal law. If anyone here lives in SD that could provide more information on this subject i'd really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks.

Ouiji Board?
They are all bogus. The Ouija board was first introduced to the American public in 1890 as a parlor game sold in novelty shops. The board DID NOT originate with swamis, emanate from the mysterious East, or anything like that. It was invented and marketed by American businessmen hoping to make a buck.* The movement of the planchette/glass/whatever object which is to move is not due to other worldly forces but instead due to unnoticeable movements by the people controlling the pointer. This is called the ideomotor effect. The effect is extremely powerful and many subjects cannot be convinced that their actions are originating solely in their own minds. The term was first used by William Carpenter around 1852 to explain his theory that muscular movement can be independent of conscious desires or emotions. Later scientific tests planned and conducted by William James, Michel Chevreul, Ray Hyman and Michael Faraday have all shown that some phenomena attributed to paranormal forces are actually due to the ideomotor effect The basic point is that your muscles, and therfore hands, fingers etc, can move without you consciously thinking about it. Suggestions can be made to the mind by others or by observations. Those "ghostly" suggestions can influence the mind and affect motor behavior. What is purely physiological, however, appears to some to be paranormal. In other words, if you believe this stuff and are trying to get the spirits to answer questions proving that they are all-knowing, and you ask a question that you already know the answer to (for example, "What's my father's name?"), odds are that your own hands will do the rest by spelling out your answer. That's where trying it blindfolded comes in (provided you haven't memorized the board, obviously). If it's spirits, they should be able to guide your hands no matter whether you can see or not. But if it's you doing it unconsciously, the blindfold will screw things up. Of course, this assumes you're the one operating the pointer. If a medium is doing it instead, there's always the possibility that s/he is simply faking it as part of the show. The point is, the Ouija board is easily explainable. Whether people will ever accept that I don't know*

Moving age
Thats rubbish, my parents were very liberal with me at that age. Letting me stay out late etc and i never did any of those things. A good parent will have brought up their children well enuf to be mature even when staying out late

this girl i like...
Remember the number 1 rule, if someone you love doesn't like you back, change yourself. Change yourself so much that she will love you. Thats a stupid "rule" which i belive you just made up. If you have to change yourself just to get someone else to like you then you really shoudlnt be together.

Delete the following folder C:\Windows\.filestore_32 (make a backup first) Then uninstall SwitchShift, it is a 3rd party not approved by Jagex and you can be banned from this forum by admitting to breaking the rules by using it. Restart PC and all should be well. p.s GET A FIREWALL ASAP!
