abortion (big deal)

I think in the circumstance of the baby definatly not surviving I would agree and any circumstances where the mothers life would be at risk I would support a termination

Talking about perturbations theory and first-order approximation of delta-v based on the patched conic approximation technique in a bar is a good way to get your ass kicked.

 

do you know we're all giving this drunk guy a hard time, but for all we know he might have been drinking his sorrows away after finding out his partner had, had an abortion

LOL wow

 

very true, sam. it's an issue i refuse to discuss, since people aren't ever going to change their minds unless they feel like it. but for a pro-life purist, it truly is about the murder of an innocent. knowing and understanding that, not scoffing at it, would probably at the very least give yourself a little peace, whether or not it changes anyone else.

 

Yeah, Sam did have a pretty likely point. I also refuse to debate abortion. No one is going to change their mind.... it's all been played out. And it's annoying to discuss anyways.

 

So I'm to take it that only the blue collar folks in dingy bars are pro-life?

 

anyway, I'd like it to make it known that I never bring up ethics or politics in a social setting. I rarely even start talking to strangers in bars. and in this guys defense, he didn't just swing around to abortion out of the blue; we talked about something else, which digressed to that subject.

 

petty bigotries come in all shapes and sizes, don't they? lol.

 

religion is a no-no, too. i never allow conversation at my parties delve too deeply into any of those three things. someone always ends up in a fist fight.

 

agreed.

 

funny how those things fuck people up so much.

 

people confuse me.

 

you have the right at any time, to tell a person that you don't wish to continue a conversation, thats in any setting, however if you found him offensive I think your original post on this thread was just as offensive.

you have no idea about what people have gone through in their lives, all different people from different walks of life come on here and for you to say something like the above is tactless, to say the least

:nopity: heres the worlds smallest violin playing for all the people I offended with my tactless comments. sorry if my words on the screen ruined anyones day.

I wasn't really offended by what he said, because I didn't know him Adam. I don't find anyone's opinion offensive, if it differes from mine or not.

 

Regardless of what the story was behind the other guy in the conflict, it is NEVER okay to attempt to shove your beliefs down someone else's throat. Same goes for wiuf. Abortion is a topic that's been beaten into the ground and like it's been said before, it's a topic better left alone.

 

hey, what?! I didn't shove my beliefs down anyone else's throat. I stated it. big difference.

 

it might never be ok, but if someone was very upset it would be very understandable and wiuf, I think you've been tactless, but I'm not offended

well, ain't this all free speech? i think maybe everyone needs to take their corners, everyone has stated their feelings on the topic and that's that. no REAL flame war, either. to be honest, despite the slight edge of rancor, still very mature discussion.

 

exactly and under free speech, wouldn't you say its in keeping to say when you think someones been tactless?
