    If you can think of a way to get him out without killing him, then I'm all for it, but so far our only options are to leave him there until he decides to move out, or detach him and let him die.

    so then you would be for a law which bans abortion but guarentees a woman the right to a c section when the baby is mature enough to survive on its own (say 36 weeks?). After all I have just provided you with a way to get the baby out on a set time table no matter what the beby wants.

    BTW the babby aint gonna stay in there until they are good and ready, after 42 weeks the placenta starts to die off and if the baby aint born it will follow.

    Dont get me wrong, I am a huge fan of China. They have the most people, so it makes sense that they would pollute more than other nations.

    Hey other than rolling over their own people with tanks they are a great member of the world community ;).

    Of course they should be gien leway on how much pollution they put out they are a huge nation but they are not even trying to be responsable. Its not so much that I mind what was in Kyoto but, as you say, its a fix for western guilt junkies. Go back to your nations and instiitute laws at that level you dont need the international community to clean your own house for you so why give them the keys.

    Fighter planes dont run on Ethanol, so whatever.

    They dont run on coal either but thats the major source of pollution they are putting out.

    What a crock!

    In the beginning of the twentieth century, the United States had really free immigration laws.

    People were denied entry for everything from whopping caugh to severe myopia. If you were in no condition to provide for yourself (this is before welfare, food stamps, ....) or if no American would take care of your provision you were sent back on the boat you came in on. America in 1900 had a huge demand for labor that it could not fill so if you were healthy enough to work you were sent here and, other than a public education for your kids, got little from the Government.

    Then people got racist and tightened the immigration laws.

    Oh yea there was no real racism in the 1800's.

    Up until a few years ago construction jobs were choice jobs! Working your way through college? Construction has a seasonal peak. Are you not college material? Construction can provide a middle class life. Its not until contractors and companies started to depress wages with illegal labor that construction jobs suddenly became 'jobs Americans wont do'. Summer harvesting jobs also used to be good labor for High shcool kids in rural areas but we can pay illegals below the minimum wage off the books so we will do that as well. Frankly Im sick of this notion that (1) People are entitled to come here illegally, (2) Companies are entitled to cheap labor, (3) Manual labor should be low paying, (4) That the US has not *always* had restrictions on Immigration. Democrats want the illegals for votes, Neo-Cons want them to break unions, And Limo-Liberals want them to clean their homes. Really is only moderate middle class Americans who are losing out.

    So youre comparing a vaccination to a broken leg? hey I can play bad analogy.. I totally think the state should be able to dictate who can even have kids, afterall why let people who are prone to genetic diseases reproduce it society thats important. Actually given the population problem we should have the government mandate abortions after the second kid (or to be more civil just tie the tubes after a second baby is born). /sarc A broken leg is an injury, lack of a vacinniation is *not* an injury and if you want to open the door for the state to make medical decisions for individules move somewhere like China where they already do that.

    Then should ANY vaccines be mandatory?

    No

    Any vaccine (or medication, for that matter) can be thought safe for decades, and only later found to have side effects.

    Exactly the point, let parents make this decision if, when the kid is 18, she wants to do it without permission its then her call

    How many girls and women do you want to get cancer while you wait for your illusory certainty?

    Its amazing how you acknowledge that this vaccine can have terrible side effects and then try to make the OP look as if they want people to get cancer, heck the OP did not say this should not be available he shae not mandatory.

    This skepticism, if it call be called that, could be raised over the flu shot, typhoid, rubella, or any number of other shots now given. But the skepticism isn't raised, because the only reason this is controversial is that the religious right is muddying the waters, just like they do over condoms, sex-ed, and so on.

    What?!?! There are many very large and vocal groups who raise the issue of vaccination safety all the time. I for one only had my daughters get the vaccinations for the diseases that could kill an infant during their first year. Why the hell would I give my 3mo daughter a heb-b vaccine? Your claim that nobody is saying anything about other vaccines is either deceipt or stupidity.

    A way to instill them with fear for there entire lives, and a way for people to manipulate them and abuse them.

    I'm sorry how many have you been through? what qualifies you to say that most pre-marriage classes dont include information about Sex? Among the Christians I know and have discussed pre marriage counseling with (five or six couples) all of them dealt as much with sex as anything else. Any biblical based marriage counseling will tell you that its a wonderful gift, and physical and spiritual bond, and an experience more pleasurable than most anything else you can do. What snarks off people who bash chriustians as prudes is the belief that sex by nature forms a spiritual bond (ie you are tied to the person you have sex with) and thus is *only* ok in marriage.
