Nice try... first sentence from wikipedia: "Though the long-term effects of cannabis have been studied, there remains much to be concluded". Looks like you're fishing for evidence to fit your conclusion, not the other way around.
We all trust what the government says. There couldn't possibly be any motive for the same entity that is responsible for the existance of the DEA to say anything that would support their own agenda. Couldn't be that at all. Shoving the same article into every post you make doesn't reinforce the point... especially if it's utter bullshit.
The doctor does this for a very different and specific reason. The doctor is using the dates to predict a rough timeline and set some expectations. The doctor is not delusional and is not inclined to believe that there's a fully formed American citizen in there (well at least not if he's doing his job). The doctor is not using this measurement to effect some convoluted ideal or to push any particular agenda or effect the law. It's nothing more than a tool to do a particular job. I have to say, this is in a slightly different league then what I originally posted about in this thread.
Pointing out that people are waisting their time on pointless bullshit is hardly "shutting your eyes". I can't acknowledge that which I cannot percieve. The conciquences you speak of are just as pointless as the problems. All I'm saying is that it's only a problem because we keep making it into one.
Way to misconstrue the point. Is that delibarate, are you blind, or is your motive more sinister in nature? The problem: Everyone and their mother thinking that gender matters when it comes to who graduates. There are two real modes of classifications that yield any real result. 1) a group of individuals. 2) an individual. Brining gender into this not only complicates matters, it's absolutely pointless and irrelevant to what it is you're trying to accomplish. IF, on the other hand you're interested in opening a strip bar, then perhaps the choice of gender might matter to you. But hey, if you like to chase your tail with pointless bullshit in life, enjoy yourself.
There's a thing called a "business transaction". That pilot is obligated to honour it. The passengers paid for their seats. Now unless the poor bastard and his wife were really that uncomfortable to be around... you know, something a little more serious then a stupid t-shirt... then sure, they should not be put up with. Barring that from happening (and it didn't) that pilot failed to meet his obligations (i. e. he failed to do his job properly). So no, your assertion that he can "not letting a passenger on board because he feels like it" is not valid. You wouldn't expect a greasy, pimple faced, teenager to take your money and not give you your big mac because he is "uncomfortable" with you. Being a pilot doesn't magically put you in some special league.
Instead of catering to that nonscence, corporations should be put back in their place instead. It's sort of like treating the symptom instead of the problem.
It's all nice and well until you have someone like that move in next to you, contract a preventable desease and infect you with it. As hypothetical as it gets, I'm aware... but what about that case?
As crude as it is, the reality is that there is no scientific consensus that life is important. It's an assumption. It's an assumption to say that we are more or less responsible in our actions either way. It's an assumption to even suggest that some sort of "disdain for life in general" even enters into the picture. The nature of things is such that some of us make it, some of us don't. That is our burden either way you wanna twist your sense of morals.
What a pussy you are... and you're bringing us to your level? Grow a backbone. Seriously. You're the one with an over active imagination. Leave the rest of us alone.
I'm not making the argument for celebacy. I'm making the argument that risky behaviour carries a risk. That is all. To complain about women doing such aweful things to this individual, I'm surprised he didn't figure out that he is the cause of his own suffering.
Just to clarify further. I'm not at all anti-abortion. Anyone, whatsoever, should be able to control what is within their bodies if the means are there. Anything beyond a medical necessity is pretty much by definition self mutilation.

And you do? Laughable.

No. I'm a programmer.

I hear they're trying to change it to 2 weeks before conception these days.
Tip: stop using the words 'men' and 'women'. Use the word 'people'. Problem dissappears. Why? Because it's not a problem to begin with.
Thanks, I have already acknoledged that I was mistaken.
So... what's the net gain then? You're in a position of forcing people to do A or B, but either way, it's forced.
Thanks for the corrective replys. My foot is firmly in my mouth.

Think people would go for it? I mean do you really think so?
The whole neighbourhood's... district... city?

He thinks in terms of lambs and shepherds. Appearantly it's the only viable setup.
Amen.

Why not?
Not a bad choice if you find yourself in the predicament the OP is in.
