I mean... honestly, do you understand what most women go through in having an abortion?
That's irrelevant because it's not her only option. Can you at least agree that as women have gained more options (contraception, emergency contraception, abortion, safe haven laws) while men have lost some (paternity tests), women bear an increased responsibility for choosing wisely? Or do you not believe that women can make decisions and be held accountable for them?
How is suggesting that women bear full financial responsibility for a child advocating equality?
My body implies that it's my choice which implies that it's my responsibility. Without the third part you aren't treating women like adults.
And while making her solely responsible might seem like overkill, it can't be any more absurd than holding him equally responsible for something he has much less control over.
I'll stick with condoms and "Hey, it's your body, I can't tell you whether to have an abortion. But be aware that I wont pay a single penny towards a child that doesn't live in my house."
Usually I'd be the first to point out the upsides to being a woman in our culture that we tend to ignore when we talk about how women face discrimination or similar problems, but dude, you have issues.
True, but assuming you only have one partner, your chance of catching an STD is quite a bit lower than your chances of getting someone pregnant. And the chance that an STD you do catch is deadly is much, much lower.
You'd probably run into this problem much less if you quit being a misogynist.
I always love how some people are adamant advocates of equality between the sexes, but still think that treating men and women equally is misogynistic.
Citations don't turn the legions of pro-nuclear corporate meat puppets on Slashdot into rational, life-loving, people. Once a zombie, always a zombie.
Yes, yes. All outsiders are irrevocably corrupt.
The spinsters will point out that 1 in 20 children developing thyroid cancer is only a mere 5% of the population.
All I get searching for this phrase is a paranoid blogger's back-of-the-envelope calculations based on an unsourced partial sentence. In addition, his results are more than ten thousand times larger than the high estimates of actual experts. I've seen more evidence for the "expanding earth" theory.
any Calholic who owns a business must violate the teachings of their religion if the want to be allowed to hire employees
Should Jehovah's Witnesses be able to leave transfusions out of their employee's health plans?
if your religion wants to you to something good for the community like run a soup-kitchen or hospital, you have to violate your relgion
If you want public funding there are restrictions, there have to be. Otherwise, I'll need details.
It is another to claim that the theory disproves Biblical teachings
Theory has nothing to do with it. The evidence strongly supports the idea that the Bible is incorrect about some things.
call those teachings "myths"
A myth is a supernatural explanation of a natural phenomenon. The reason 'myth' picked up its secondary meaning is because everyone disbelieves most myths.
remove all mention of Christ from Christmas celebrations
So they're free to practice their religion (or lack of it) how they want?
The first is that religion should only be practiced in private.
I will gladly fight for your right to to preach on the street and baptize people in public parks, and for the right of others to mock you.
we'll respect your right to do purely symbolic rituals but we won't respect your right to believe
I don't get that one. How on Earth is anyone policing your mind?
Why not just support human life extension research?
Because this kind of research 1% highly speculative, unlikely to be developed in my lifetime technology, although one that could be the greatest single technological advance ever, and the other 99% is bullshit sold by con artists
And here's the key: I'm not sure I'm qualified to tell the difference between the two.
Some cultures have not taken skulls to be a symbol of death though. In ten thousand years, maybe the primative tribes that survive consider skulls to be a symbol of the cycle of life and renewal or whatever superstious rubbish they have invented by then. They'll run into the storage facility thinking it'll make them young again.

Flamebait
1. trying to start an argument just for fun
2. going against social norms enough that someone gets mad
Women have rights, men have responsibilities. That's just how our society works.
Require reprocessing on-site as waste is produced. Safer than moving it, and a built-in, predictable cost.
Yes, yes: for women, adulthood is the same as slavery, because they just can't handle it. How woman-friendly of you.

In what fantasy land can you make that stick?
But there's already such a wide variety of contraceptive methods, for both men and women, that you're sure to find one you can deal with.
Variety, for men? There's the effectively permanent vasectomy, and annoying, has to be used during, and fairly ineffective condoms, and ... what?
Who knows if he's actually taken the drug, even if he says he has?
Ditto for a woman, even for your wife's implant.
More options are good for everyone.

we have to find a way to keep the nuclear waste safe for 150.000 years...
there will be 5-10M+ cancers caused by Fukushima, mostly in Japan and the western US
Citation-free warnings of apocalypse! We've never seen that on Slashdot, please post more!
and I thought living in a cave was safe!
You still need the tinfoil hat. Then you're OK.

Hmm, I drink just a touch over 4for liters of water every day...
They use atoms, I believe that justifies the name Atomic.
So an M-80 counts as an atomic bomb?
I'll keep working on a similar joke that involves my penis.
Time travel is not possible.

Responses to military attacks (even stupid and/or immoral ones aimed at your own people) don't count as internal strife.
The next time you get really, really upset over something while other people aren't, you might want to check your assumptions.
I'm assuming he only tracked internal strife, not external. WWI didn't make it in, but post-WWI tensions did.
That was too punny, even for me.
-Wait, where did all the nuclear reactors go?
They blew up after exactly 50 years.
How many vortexes are there, and how fast can Dr. Neal Cloud get back?
Some cultures have not taken skulls to be a symbol of death though. In ten thousand years, maybe the primative tribes that survive consider skulls to be a symbol of the cycle of life and renewal or whatever superstious rubbish they have invented by then. They'll run into the storage facility thinking it'll make them young again.
Then they will have a learning experience.
Either way, we've helped future generations. :)
