1. did you even READ my last post? 2. please don't preach to me about whether or not men should be allowed to control the lives of women, about gender equality or any of that crap. -i'm a twenty four year old female -i'm old enough to have seen the results of legalized abortion within my own life and within my peer group -i'm on the "girl" side of the argument, and i'm actually a bit of a feminist -i come from a long line of rape victims. IN FACT: pregnant rape victims! my great great great (i believe it's three greats. i don't feel like doing the math to make sure. the point stays the same) grandmother was one of many native canadian sex slaves to a group of european immigrants. that means i am a product of rape. i agree that no one has the right to tell you what you can and cannot do with your own body, so let's let these children grow enough to answer the question of whether or not we can tear their bodies limb from limb. sometimes the right thing to do isn't easy. of those 50 million abortions how many are you telling me were products of rape? don't tell me abortion isn't used as a form of birth control. i know girls who's bodies will no longer make babies because of the number of abortions they've had. i know girls who have had abortions and have never regretted it. i know girls who have taken responsibility for thier actions and raised a baby when they were 17 years old. my favorite kid in the whole world was born when her mother was 18, in no romantic relationship and barely on speaking terms with the baby's father! if you have unprotected (or even protected) sex and get HIV what are your options? herpes, what are your options? you don't get to take some morning after pill, or have your HIV surgically removed. abortion may have been intended for "emergencies" but it is no longer regarded that way. how can you think of a baby as merely a part of a certain person's body? your name is adam, so i assume you're a dude. what happens if you knock up your girlfriend? its her choice what she wants to do with it? if she wants an abortion, that's okay, and if she wants to keep it and raise it and take you to court for child support that's okay too? when does a baby stop becoming an appendage of a woman? i think pro choice boys are less about "a woman's right to choose" and more about taking some pressure off of themselves. "oh, it's her body, it's not my responsibility until it comes out" and most of the time, even then, we'll see. also, please explain what this means:

really. that's very interesting. the album is so stripped down and raw, i would think it would require too much listening. never tried it though. looks like all of you wlrrr non-fans have some homework tonight! There's nothing "stripped down" and "raw" about White Light. dude, are you kidding me?

men with brooms

oh, please be careful what you say about steph. i've grown very attached to her.

HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYBODY!! thursdays are my favorite. survivor. csi. without a trace. i think God created television on a thursday.

avalanche (see the poll in the matthew good section) who is your favorite visual artist? (sculptor, painter, photographer etc)

and the thread pays off! this catlow business isn't half bad

i agree with urkel

are you really from israel? because i've heard israel has a pretty decent independent metal scene.

i've never heard matt good's version of can't explain. anyone know where i can have a listen?

maybe too much personal information, but i didn't enjoy that song in the background. not that it made the sex bad (it was bound to be less than stellar to begin with) but i didn't feel like it added much of anything. too simple, and too obvious. i think avalanche is so great because the first 5 tracks are so dynamic, and they make all of these emotions move around in you, and by the time you get past those songs you're no longer paying attention to whats on the stereo.

you know what would be really great? if you posted the versions you have. i would LOVE a version, any version really. it might be one of my favorite concert experiences, seeing that song live. (please please please please please) (or email it to me at [email protected])

actually, its the whole avalanche record.

i don't think it's that they just don't like us. i think that they might think they're better than us. i mean, we're quiet, we're liberal, we're considerably more multicultural, we're everything their administration isn't. and i think that they probably look down on us. ever been to a church youth group? you know that feeling when you walk in and everyone wants to save you and thinks they're holier than you and they need to fix you? i feel like the united states views itself as a sort of big brother figure. i don't think they know how smart we are, i think that they just want to push us around. and a lot of the time we let them. remember how on september 11th canada took american planes that couldn't land in the us, we took care of thier people, we took care of thier visitors, and we didn't even get a thank you in the initial thank you speech? they expect it from us. we're like a booty call to them.

it seems obvious to me that it would be included. animal farm, anybody?

Wow, you make me sick. Women do get pregnant from rape, whether or not you want to believe it. Oh, and, may I add, where do you get off thinking that you, or even we as a society, should have the ability to make that decision for a woman? - i didn't say they DON'T get pregnant, i said that the percentage of women who become pregnant from rape is too small to justify legalizing it for everyone. "one of the most important reasons why a rape victim rarely gets pregnant, is psychic trauma. Every woman is aware that stress and emotional factors can alter her menstrual cycle. To get pregnant and stay pregnant, a woman

this time i gave an option for all of you who think i missed something! i won't vote. i sing all of them in the shower in this specific order. when i get to "mr. chips" i know it's time to start rinsing off.

i REALLY like that idea

1. never in my life have i voted liberal. never will. and everytime "something" happens i pat myself on the back for that. so, here it is: i told you so. 2. most people feel like they must read the report itself to comment on it, or at least know more about it than they do. i think that people in general feel helpless to do anything about it. the government are the law makers, right? they're the bosses. the parents. the ones in charge. a lot of people think that all they can do is vote differently in the next election. 3. you don't BELIEVE god exists. can't have an argument challenging beliefs if you don't recognize that yours is just that, a belief. prove he/she/it doesn't. 4. abortions should be illegal. the chances of a girl/woman becoming pregnant from a rape situation (that is to say any sex in which she feels less than safe) are WAY too slim to justify legalizing it. the majority of abortions are a form of birth control, and a multi-billion dollar industry of selling fetuses. 5. i have yet to hear of ANY action the US has taken in iraq that can be called "justified" 6. yeah. they are. they pretty much all are. 7. i actually quite like suburbia. the end

no it wasn't. thank you for asking. that's, i guess, part of the problem, although the principle is the same. it's a completely different strain that is not at all fatal in humans.

oooh that's a show i would LOVE to see!

lauryn hill, believe it or not.
