Well, I guess you told me. Perhaps I should go sit in the corner and cry.
First, I like myself. I like talking about myself. I like my life. I like talking about my life. My parents were kind enough to allow me to be born. Me writing about me is not me squirming.
Second, my opinions are not based on what you or anyone else allows me to have. My opinions are based on my own, real personal experiences. I'm not some person standing on the sidelines spouting in a sanctimonious voice what other people should do even though I've never personally faced their dilemma.
Third, if you had read and thought about what I wrote, you would see that my life is a diverse life. I interact with people of all kinds - not just colors, not just races, not just sexes, not just sizes, not just political beliefs. The people in my life are not one size fits all kinds of folks. Personally, I think refusing to accept the fact and acknowledge that people come in a variety of ways is racist and bigoted. Do you think if you don't say that someone is black no one will notice you are a racist and a bigot? The very fact that you are unable to say it makes you a racist. You obviously think there is something wrong with being non-white. Consider this - when you read a book, a magazine, whatever, unless you are told that the character is African-American, black, Chinese, swarthy, woolen-haired, etc. do you not automatically think that the character is white? You know you do.
Fourth - English is the common language of this land. I shouldn't have to be forced to speak a foreign language in this country. Whether I choose to speak any other languaeg besides English is not the issue. That I am forced to is.
Fifth - I quit smoking two years ago this month. I don't go to the store to buy a pack of smokes.
Sixth - the kids that go to the Korean church behind me are assholes. They threw rocks at my old dog - who was in my yard behind my chain link fence. Because the church people couldn't control their kids, I made them put up a high wooden fence so the kids couldn't harass my dog.
Seventh - I can call Obama a half-black person if I want. It is the truth. I would call him half-white if he looked more white than he does black. Is he no longer the first "black" president? Has that changed? I didn't get the memo if it did.
Eighth - perhaps you should analyze your own racist beliefs. Do you really live in a world where everyone is white?
Ninth - where did I attempt to engage you politically? My original response was a comment regarding TKers still harassing EIers. No matter what sort of chaos is going on in the world, it is a constant that TKers banned from EI will spend infinite energy and time devising methods to get back into EI so they can be banned again. You're the one that went all racist because I wrote "half-black" in describing Obama. You're the one that went all racist because I don't like people trying to force me to speak a foreign language. Sheesh. Shit ass.
Bolds are mine for clarity.grumpy crazy lady said:What with the world in chaos because of the failing economy, industries needing bailing out, wars, and a half black man as President in the White House, it is comforting to know that there are some constants.
I note there's no instance where anybody asked you to learn to speak any foreign language, and in fact asked you how you were. Shame on them!puta vieja gruñón said:I've quit going to the 7-11 in my neighborhood too. Why? Because the last time I went in the employees were chatting to each other in Mexican, their radio was blaring Mexican music, and the chick greeted me at the register with "Comb esta." I said, "Excuse me. I've walked into a foreign country. I meant to shop American," left the items on the counter unpaid for and exited the store.
Are you?Physically?
..... I'd put an icepick in my ear ...
I agree that that is the choice. The disagreement arises regarding who gets to make that choice.
Better a fetus gets aborted than an unwanted, abused child is brought to term and is stuck with a lifetime of misery.
And it's not our job to say who can do what with themselves, nor are we to judge them for it. If abortion is truly a moral sin against God, then let God deal with it. The fact that someone you know had an abortion should in no way affect how you interact with them; if so, by the standards of the New Testament you've got bigger problems with God than they do for judging them when it isn't your lot to do so and then for failing to forgive them.
So if someone gets an abortion, so the fuck what. It's not your problem.
"I will kill my unborn child today because I know in 7 months I will abuse, torture, neglect, and possibly kill this child."
You don't think it necessary to address the criminal aspect of the person or persons that would have inflicted pain and injury, abuse and misery on that child? You don't think that maybe the need to abort at will might just be a symptom of the underlying insanity?
I like how you ignored all the legit points that Donovan pointed out. Brilliant.
Even if it is, do you want to force the child to be raised by an insane, unwilling parent? Forcing somebody like that to carry a child to term guarantees it will have a terrible life.
Donovan argues like you do - he doesn't make points - he just repeats the same old impersonal shit.
"You don't agree with me so you are stupid."
"You don't have the right to not agree with me because if you don't agree with me you are stupid."
"I can tell you what you should think about abortion but you don't have the right to tell me or anybody else what they should think about abortion."
"You are a racist because you aren't afraid to recognize that we aren't all exactly alike."
"How dare you want to speak English in America!"
"You aren't saying what I want you to say. How fucking dare you, you stupid, idiot, crabby old bitch."
"You're ugly."
"You're fat."
"You're stupid."
"You're blah, blah, blah."
There isn't anything to learn from either you or Donovan on any subject of importance. The only thing you tell me about yourselves is that you don't have any real experiences that shape your thoughts and your beliefs, probably because you don't have any real life personal relationships that aren't very casual and superficial. It is also evident that neither of you are capable of holding opinions that aren't currently popular and, therefore, unable to think for yourselves. In short, there is nothing genuine or interesting about you. You're simply shit to stir with a stick. As much as I like shit stirring, at some point I am fortunate to be distracted by other more interesting things.
Without removing a person's right to abort their babies for any reason, please examine your reason for justifying the death of the unborn baby.
Because we all may at some point in our lives have bad experiences, should we be killed now so they we won't have to face potentially being miserable in the future?
Yes. Why not?
Why continue to overpopulate this suffering world with miserable people?
You act like the unborn, mindless fetus is actually going to be upset and sad that it never got to live. It doesn't KNOW.
