On tonight's HIGNFY, it was pointed out that while "The Daily Mail Online" is rightfully laying into Jimmy Savile, it's own history of picture taking is far from moral regarding under-age children. It is also noted that as soon as any female reaches 16 she is fair game. Many articles can be found under a search of the site with three words...
... "all grown up".
It was also noted that pictures of celeb women in all manners of attire are perfectly ok on the site
... You see.. in those stories it's all about how the women's sizes keep changing.
Artful Dodger: She survived her abortion, and has been on the run ever since. If you see this illegal child do not approach her, but instead call your local authorities.
Iamon lyme: Yeah, the liberals are still trying to kill her yelling, "You're supposed to be dead! You're giving abortion a bad name! Die you little K*$)#Y@#O!!!!"
Artful Dodger: There are survivors of botched abortions. The first one I heard about lost one of his arms because it was the first body part to be pulled out. When the abortionist saw it he panicked because he realised the baby was fully formed and ready to be born. Back when that happened only babies in the first term (the first three months of development) could be legally killed. The mother had lied about how far along she was, so the attending doctor had no other choice than to safely remove the baby and let him live. Or let her live, I don't recall the gender of the child... as though that should make any difference to liberals, they are equal opportunity baby killers in this country. Not so much in other countries, where gender does make a difference in determining whether the childs life should be terminated or not.
Iamon lyme: How anyone in good conscience can condone such barbaric acts and then in the same breath complain about war. Evil. And the liberals defend it.
Artful Dodger: If abortion had already been legal long before the effort was made to make it legal, I wonder how many pro-abortion advocates would not exist because someone decided it would be more convenient to not let them live beyond the womb? I've posed that question before, and was somewhat surprised by the response.
The response is almost always the same: It didn't matter to them if they were born or not, they still believed it was okay to arbitrarily end the life of a child, just so long as that child was too young to know anything.
Yeah, right... more like as long as that child was too young to defend itself or complain about it. Their response was meaningless, because the people to whom I posed the question already knew their existence was safe and always had been.
Liberals lack all of the virtues they want us to believe they extol, and chief among those virtues is empathy. They feel nothing for the people they victimize, and expect nothing but praise for their efforts.
mckinley: They can't do anything that's why. To ban abortion would be as such recreating the times when women were second class citizens with no real vote or say in their lives. The rich who want an abortion will find a good private doctor, or go abroad.. the poor well, they don't count we've been told by Romney and by people here on this board.
US is equal bottom with Mexico on child deaths from maltreatment. It has the worst record in the industrialised world regarding child abuse. Part of the problem is this idea of keeping families together no matter what that is advocated by certain parties.
No one likes abortion, but that does not mean others have the right to send it back into the back street era.
mckinley: The conservatives ARE doing something about it. But the liberals LOVE to keep the culture of death active. They are willing to allow the unborn to be killed just for votes.
mckinley: [ It's ok to kill criminals when you aren't to judge? I'm against all killing. ]
Why do you assume I'm okay with any killing? If I'm against the killing of innocents, then you assume I'm okay with war or any other thing poeple do that causes death and destruction. It's a phony argument where you pretend to speak for both sides. It's called a straw man argument, but I suspect you already know that. I don't assume any of you who do this are stupid or ill informed simply because you attempt to cheat in arguments on a message board.
But if you insist on making this kind of assumption then fine, I can do the same about any of you. I could make the same assumption about anyone who thinks abortion is okay, and if I did my assumption would have more merit... Because if you don't have a problem with killing the weakest and most innocent of humans, then why should I assume you wouldn't have a problem with anyone else being killed? If you are unfaithful in a small matter (small to you perhaps) then you will be unfaithful in larger matters. Jesus said that in a different way, but you are free to ignore him whenever it doesn't suit you.
Iamon lyme: Which type? I approve of a certain body we have here called "trading standards", guarantee, contract, contract as laid down in statutes of law that are statuary, and the magic roundabout... as well as responsibility not to use one if you don't know how..
... seeing videos of men cutting trees down wrong, seeing guys on "Watchdog" use the wrong chain saw for a job.. I've seen.
All this comes to mind when as a customer you enter into a shop to buy a chainsaw. Contract law starts at the point of sale, as does it for the shop owner when buying it from the manufacturer.
This is the UK... not the US with multi million dollar pay outs. This is how our law sees it.
Bwild: I bought my first chain saw last year. My friends wouldn't let me use it until they trained me on how to use it. They were afraid for my limbs! lol. It's fun to use except for the blood splatter.
