Our Moon Could Become a Planet
anthemaniac writes "Earth's moon is drifting away from us more than an inch every year. In a few billion years, if the system survives, the moon would be reclassified as a planet under the new IAU definition. You gotta wonder if the astronomers who dreamed this definition up had thought of that."
Mmmmmmm..... boogers
I think you were looking for the other topic.

At first I thought TFA said a few million years and I started getting worried, then I reread it and now I'm ok. Whew, that was a close one!

Fuck you, you piece of scum. I bet you eat meat. How the fuck is it OK to kill an animal for food {and very poor quality food at that, which will poison you if you eat too much of it} and not OK to kill a foetus?

What if I'm vegetarian and anti-abortion? Does that mean I'm not a piece of scum. Wow!
If you had ever been through an accidental pregnancy, you'd understand.
Maybe some of us are smart enough to keep our dick in our pants. Sex is a risky behavior with many undesirable outcomes. This is no different than smoking, doing hard drugs or jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. When people pay for their foolishness in these cases do you weep for them too? Don't act like you can't live without sex. It's a limp (no pun intended) excuse. Aside from rape there is no such thing as unavoidable pregnancy, it's a calculated risk and if you're rolling the dice you should be in a position to accept the consequences when you lose.
Somewhere in some little cemetery somewhere are the Earthly remains of some Buddhist monk who believed that germs had just as much right to live as he did, refused to use any kind of medicine or even antiseptic, and died of multiple infections.
That's neat. Can we dig up his bones?
