To Artisticsolution: Ok, my last post was a bit one-sided and negative to your views,with which i agree to a certain point, but beyond that point, i would like to see evidence of 'viability' to the changes you either support, or mention as already happening, as far as genders are concerned. If the f...

AS: No I mean in the truest sense of the word Aesthetics....in the way human beings cling to aesthetics without really realizing how much their opinion formation is based on such shallowness as appearances. People love to think there is something "magical" in how they feel about a certain ...

How is the conservative side going to disappear? What is your suggestion? Through education and time. Is it possible? With education and time, Yes! Do you you think they are just going to say "we are stupid' and stop trying to make the world according to their beliefs? Currently, unfortunately...

Actually they shouldn't be called prostitutes, as that label is of the old paradigm, and as such is slanderous. But obviously they are to serve the needs of those that have to have release of their animal desires, where they're unwilling or incapable of abstinence, and to curb the ineffectiveness o...

Are you talking about childless unions? What will the role of the prostitutes be? Actually they shouldn't be called prostitutes, as that label is of the old paradigm, and as such is slanderous. But obviously they are to serve the needs of those that have to have release of their animal desires, whe...

I see that mankind's ignorance, of conflicting emotional selfish concerns, are largely responsible for this problem, and that one way to reduce the problem is to legalize prostitution, that contains a pool of both men and women that are sterile, that choose the lifestyle, where both party's,that ar...

AS:First of all....I never said nor did I imply that I "Show disdain" for cells. They're cells for petes sake...not children! Yes, they have the potential to 'become' babies...but the fact is they are NOT babies yet. How can you show disdain to something akin to a blood clot? I will give y...

Alex:First of all, this is not a philosophical conversation, just a practical one. So, since you show so much disdain for a couple of cells I will accept it, practically, that is. But the basis of our argument is the fact, pretty well known, that the cells become a baby, before birth. And you have a...

SpheresofBalance:I say that any particular life begins with that first cell division. But as to abortion, I believe that the point of cognition should rightfully be that line we draw in the sand. This debate obviously stems for our individual fears of death. I see that we project our fears onto the ...

The baby is not just a part of a body. It qualifies as much more.. Yes and No...I am sorry to tell you this but a fetus...who cannot survive on it's own... is 'just a part of a body'. Until it can survive on it's own those are just the facts....if the mother dies...the fetus dies....as being a 'par...

Thanks. I think the bottom line in all these moralistic discussions has to be the woman's right to choose. It has to be the trump card in this issue. Trump cards are for games, not for cases where human life is involved.(Artisticsolution also agrees that it happens before birth) Have you heard of a...

Trump cards are for games, not for cases where human life is involved.(Artisticsolution also agrees that it happens before birth) But as far as human rights go...even children in grade school do not get full rights until they become adults. They cannot enter into contracts (such as buying a house o...

What is the difference between a baby and an actual baby? If you just want to agree with Chaz Wymen, then, no problem..i am new around here i don't know the rules..

Artisticsolution: 'An abortion in the early stages of pregnancy is much less 'immoral' than in the late stages, where I will grant you...the fetus 'becomes' a baby'

2) Here's an accurate analogy. There is a boy born without a heart. The doctors have have a plan to chain him to your body, with mainline blood supply. He uses your sustenance to live. You will have to drag him around all day and all night. You will have to eat extra; you cannot smoke or drink; nor...
