Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!

by Simon in

i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.

it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.

plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

"There are lots of stories of people who go through the same thing and stick together and have a wonderful family and child as a result."

Simon, you are right, it could go either way. An unwanted child, given the chance may eventually grow into a real asset to the human race.

Unwanted pregnancies have been around since the beginning of time, its nothing new. Abortion is nothing new either. It has been practised forever. A pregnant woman is going to do what she wants, regardless of what the government tells her.

A young guy and girl think they are in love. The girl gets pregnant -the guy runs away.

The girl now has a life long burden to carry, on her own , with stigma and shame attached.

Will her family step up and help her, or will they turn their back? Often, it may be her family that encourages the abortion. If she has the child and adopts it out, there is a minefield of feelings she has to work through for the rest of her life. Even if she can detach herself, laws are now in place for the child to know who their birth parents are, so she cant escape those feelings if the child tries to make contact.

She has to face the struggle of being a single mum, or the chance that the new step-dad will abuse her, the child, or both. What kind of security can she offer the child, what about education?

These issues are no joke for a young woman to have to deal with. Its understandable why some women dont like to be told how to live their lives by men.

“This generation will by no means pass away.”

by Fisherman in

for argument sake let’s assume that this verse should apply to 1914. what are your thoughts on generation?.

joey jojo

Everyone that was alive when an event occurred. If you weren't alive to witness it, you are not part of that generation.

It's a really simple concept.

Are You Concerned About Inflation?

by Simon in

i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.

that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?

they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

joey jojo

I believe the world never really recovered from the 2008 financial crisis.

Companies that had no right to continue trading because of their greed and stupidity, were propped up artificially and handed billions. These billions came from thin air, via the printing press.

Ever since then, markets have continued trading at unnatural levels thanks to handouts and low interest rates.

The effects of the pandemic and war on finances is now like the tide retreating and we'll see who has been swimming naked.

Its been interesting to read this thread over the course of the year in relation to all the crazy stuff happening.

Just had a massive (higher than expected) interest raise rise in Australia of half a percent, the highest raise in 22 years. The reserve bank says its to try and curb inflation.

If you have savings in the bank, the best interest rate is about 1.5%, up from about .2%. Our current inflation is about 6% - officially, so interest on savings is not even close to keeping pace with inflation. House prices are falling, fuel and groceries are rising.

I was surprised to learn how much of the worlds produce comes from Ukraine. Might be some hungry populations in the near future.

I'm Going To The Olympics!

by Simon in

i can barely believe it.

it's really a dream come true.. the culmination of years of training and hard work.. i'm going to the olympics and i'm going to win multiple gold medals.. i finally figured that if a man can identify as a woman and win a medal, then i can identify as a disabled woman, so i reckon i can absolutely clean up at the special olympics.. it's so liberating being woke..

14 kids dead and one teacher at Texas school shooting.

by jojorabbit in

another shooting, this time 14 kids dead more wounded and a teacher dead.

i am all for the second amendment and this does not change my mind.

but i do hate this kind of thing, makes my stomach turn.

joey jojo

If society is getting worse, mental illness is increasing and people are losing the capacity to take responsibility for their actions, then something has to change.

The common denominator here is access to dangerous weapons. Comparisons between gun deaths and traffic accidents is ridiculous. Transport is an essential human need. Vehicles are built to be as safe as possible and are used for many purposes. A gun is built to have 1 single purpose.

Having said that, I'm personally not anti guns, however you can't have everything.

If you claim that society is sick and has problems that can't be solved easily, then maybe there is no choice other than to limit gun ownership.

"When I was in school in the late 60s and 70s, people had guns in the back of the truck window parked at the school. Schools had guns. In college people who were ROTC would carry a rifle around on Campus. But there was little of this insane stuff going on. Why is that? Because the left has degraded our culture. Pushing transgender as normal, that you don't need a father to help raise the child, that two moms are a good thing, that black culture is not full of violence, misogynistic and glorifies hood rats and gang bangers. That violent video games and seeing at the click of a button any kind of rape, murder or violence as much as you want on the internet. Lets be clear, culture has taken a radical downward spiral over the last 40 years."

Growing up in rural Australia in the 70's and 80's, we had 3 guns in our house, and we werent even a shooting/ hunting family. Nearly every family I knew had a gun or 2 in the house. You can live in a fantasy world about how life was good in the old days but there were a lot of gun related injuries. It wasnt because there were transgender gangs roaming the streets, or video games rotting kids brains but because guns are dangerous - period. They are designed to be dangerous. To pretend otherwise is delusional.

Citing John Lott about gun control is like asking Tony Morris 3 to present an honest critique of the jw's.

TonusOH:

"We should increase the penalties for illegal gun ownership dramatically as one step

we know that hundreds of thousands of people die every year in auto accidents, with millions more injured, some seriously. We drive anyway. We also keep working to make cars safer and drivers smarter and more responsible."

Have you ever lived in another country, or visited a country that has strict gun controls so you can get a different perspective?

Your regular school shootings/ mass shootings make news headlines around the world. The rest of the world has trouble comprehending how and why it's allowed to continue.
