I hear this abortion this is pretty immoral, but for some cases where the child will grow up SEVERELY disadvantaged, body messed up, mental ability low, possibly a lot of pain, even just the emotional pain of knowing you're basically lesser than the others, I find it pretty immoral that people would willingly allow this child to get to the stage it's born and truly starts to active/become self aware/reach a stage of consciousness.
It's humane to put down dog's etc with debilitating illness, yet we're still at a point where people think that bringing some messed up child into the world is some miracle, it truly makes me sick.
We're in a society where it's soon going to be the time where we can reasonably expect sex to be a conception free event (Hopefully the work on the male pill proves to be the 100% they are stating), it'd solve a lot of this debate, at least for those who are smart enough to use it.
I am pro choice, not all abortions are done because of defects/rape, but abortions will ALWAYS HAPPEN whether legal or not, the great thing when it's legal is that it tends to be done in nice clean sterile safe( well as much as possible) environments, and I am hoping that the fetus brain is destroyed/disabled at the highest speed possible in order to limit any pain if it exists for them at that point. I can only guess that it would be like sleeping, no real consciousness of our pain etc so no pain would be felt, simply a quick painless death/end. If this isn't the case feel free to show me the evidence, I just haven't seen any decent info relating to any pain felt at abortion.
As for the purpose? To save people the "hassle", to be humane and not allow a child to suffer needlessly, to avoid having to give birth, raise or adopt out a child, maybe from rape? maybe because the mother really isn't ready to be a mother, doesn't want the child to be born and truly become "alive". It's usually heartbreaking to abort, but adopting out can also be heartbreaking, as well as trying to raise a kid when your means are low.
People mess up, abortion is an option that can help avoid more possible mistakes/troubles/etc for the person, I really doubt the fetus would even know they existed at that point, and earlier the better.
I think pro life should really be looking at ways to truly be prolife, protect the children by giving indepth contraception + sexual health education, hell even care for every human that is ALIVE. Millions are hungry, they are alive, conscious, feeling pain and suffering, the fetus hasn't gotten to this point.
These comments are based upon the fetus being unconscious/not self aware/for all intents and purposes just something growing before blossoming.
When people start paying 2grand per visit to pay off all the diff machines needed. Hopefully though we'll see the costs come down in the future, the doctors can take the symptoms and do their best guess at what it may be, but its not always easy to spot. If they can find out enough to know where the problem may be, send u off for a blood test etc, see a specialist, whatever, then the treatment process can begin.
when she's older, give her all the information she needs to make a decision the best she can. Possibly society might have changed more and we'll have 10 year olds regularly doing sexual things, but who knows, maybe it'll flip and we'll go through a more conservative time.
Before her first period I'd advise giving the whole birds n bee's talk, and way before that give her the talk on good touching, bad touching (to protect against molestation, naivity in kids will leave them exposed). Don't ever ever though make the topic of sex a negative one as that can affect her sex life for the future, make her know it can be positive but also make her realize that she doesn't need to do anything for someone else for them to like her, sex should always be about what we want, to make sure we are ready and to share that with someone.
As a kid she may play doctor but usually not for sexual reasons, it's just at certain ages (friends n I were 6 or so when we started) we explore bodies, notice diff things about each other, if you are worried talk to a child psychologist and work out a good set of boundaries.
Knowledge is her protection, if her and her peers are smart, stick together and look out for each other, protect each other at parties when someones drunk etc it will lower the chances quite a lot of anything bad happening. Can give her self defense classes as well, and also to try keep her self esteem high, give her positive reinforcement, praise the good in her and it should give her enough power to protect herself.
We all make mistakes in life but the thing that matters the most is that we have friends and family there for us to help guide us, pick us up when we fall, and keep our head above the water.
Good luck and you'll be a great dad, one sign of a great father is asking for help, caring so much that you are willing to research everything you can to protect your kin. Thanks for keeping society great.
I don't have much problem with this cept as long as the new work differs quite a lot from the original, I'd be pissed if I had made something, and someone else made a profit from basically copy pasting my work into something and flogging it off without any real change. But for the public just downloading it I wouldn't care all that much.
They seem to forget the blood sweat n tears we put into earning our money in order to finally afford the cd, then to be spat in the face with another fee to listen to it on a music device and have to buy another copy?
In the end it only harms the musicians, people will resent paying for these goods more n more thus seek the avenue which is fast becoming the ideal one, illegal p2p. Musicians should just setup a lil paypal link somewhere, they'd probably get quite a few donations.
I'm sure they're losing millions on millions of sales for real.
Piracy is no where near as bad as they want to make out, hell the original lets you install slaves and I bought a copy after trying it on a slave, these days they'd probably try call it piracy.
Some countries 16, or even 14 year olds are legal to have sex with.
I think people would be more worried about 0-16 vs 12-18.
Problem is that younger bodies are maturing faster n faster, men are attracted to sexually mature females and they dont magically become that at 18, there are 14 year olds who can easily pass for much older. Hence the term jailbait (Though jailbait u tend to know they are too young)
Piracy has been around for so long, in a dream land if no sales were made, people would still make art/etc for simply the love of art itself.
I have some photography for sale and wouldn't really care too much if people wanted to use it for private reasons, long as I am credited but I'd draw the line at making a profit from it. If something is good, throw em a dime and give them incentive to create more. If you're poor, then tell your friends, family, get it some much needed airtime as word of mouth is the best advertising. Then the profits may roll in for whatever art you do.
True, but comes a time also where people want to learn on the market leader, to gain the skills neccessary to use the program inside and out when they may still not be able to afford it, it's not an excuse but a partial reason for people.
Photoshop's main salesbase (creative industry) will always generally purchase licences for their product.
The majority of the downloaders are students who can't afford the $1000plus price, and in some cases will learn on a pirated copy and go on to work for a firm which buys legit copies (or they are the ones that push the bosses to buy the stuff)
You can download for free and boycott them at the same time, they aren't getting your money. However they still benefit from getting out there and heard by more people.
They love to spout fictitious money to try rally people into supporting them. Their total loss is $0.00. People didn't want to buy it, didn't have the money too, and oh wow look, they didn't buy it. If they wanted to buy it they would have gotten a sale, they need to quit worrying bout these magical lost sales in terms of profit and wonder why people choose to download their stuff instead of purchasing it.
20% sales lost to piracy though isn't anything to go by, a person can download a million songs and have barely enough cash to get internet access let alone buy those songs. It's nice to think each piece of pirated work would bring you in cash but in the real world it cannot work. A potential customer is still not a customer until the cash is in hand, maybe ask yourselves why they are turning to pirate the stuff vs buying, is it they want it for free? (never will be a customer, or not at this point) They think it costs too much?(Possibly lower costs, or offer singles for sale instead of an album with 2songs good, the rest boring people to tears).
problem is, not all that download the music can truely afford to. However since they do, if it's any good it'll get airtime with friends, family and potentially get you more people to the next gig. What i see all the time is people who'd never buy music but will download it and get a liking for it, end up wanting to see them live and would pay for that. Guess it's like a preview system so to say, but if you're music is 5bucks n album I think i know plenty of people that'd gladly hand it over if the music is good.
In this day n age I'd be glad to be receiving any money, funds are tight and seems to be millions of bands to choose from. The real money-maker for bands should be the touring, but if it's not that feasable than either the band hasn't got enough coverage (piracy can actually help here, or releasing 1 or 2 good songs for free even) or the band just isn't as good as they think. Sometimes people expect to be raking it in just for making a song, even if the song is total shit.
We could also say that Microsoft helps to make it unsafe by not allowing pirated copies to receive updates, thus allowed more machines that are infected to spread. TBH I think they might as well allow them to be patched even if pirated, keeps annoying virii etc at bay a bit more.
Pedos will get their jollies from pics in target adverts of the underwear, theres nothign sexual about a pic of a butt nekkid kid running around. Use to be a time where you could do art of a young child naked and no one thought twice about it but these days everything has some evil pedophilic link.
Even the most moral upholding/value laden people could have a child do the same, blaming the parents for the kids action is just a cop-out. At most the kids need education and forced to take some lessons on not being silly with cameraphones.
Do they have webcams? Congrats if your kids keep their clothes on but don't be too surprised if they shock you. Hopefully you won't go batshit crazy and kick them outa the house and the church won't ban them or something.
Kids make mistakes, parents are there to soften the blow.
It's a sad world when kids take pics of themselves and are labelled as sex offenders, wasn't the law to stop adults abusing kids?
How much more would products cost if made by American workers. 20 dollar keyboards may become 50-100 dollar keyboards, all the cheap stuff at Big W/Target/etc (Like your Wallmarts cept for Aus) would become much more expensive without that made in China tag. Western lifestyle benefits from cheap labour, and Western business's REALLY benefit from the cheap labour. Why make a product here when you have to pay workers $14 bucks n hour or so (aussie not yankie) when chinese workers can work longer hours, for much less and wont' really have the chance to complain to a union.
For a person like me, If a colleague was found to be a porn star I really couldn't care. Big deal, but I guess many people look down on others for it and that's sad. People are too damn judgemental at times.

Hideous or not, they're both very happy together which is more than most people seem to have these days.

Till you get annoyed at the thing and peg it at a wall.(It kept turning off:( )
How much would the textbook writers charge them for the privilege of printing though, the 150 for a textbook isn't just for the printing.
