Stance on Abortion?

[Neo Art]

It really doesn't make any sense. I went from thinking I had an understanding of how it works, to having no clue whatsoever. It's too difficult to understand, I guess I have to just give up.

You realize, I hope, that it takes YEARS of full time study, and months preparing for the Bar exam before people are considered to have even the minimum requirements to practice law in this country?

How arrogant you must be to assume you can do my job just as well as I can, without any of the work I put into it.

its almost funny that every pro-life opinion is quickly marked "wrong" when all they wanted was an opinion. Its like pro-choice people the lack confidence to stand by their answer. Whatever, I'll probably just let everyone stand in their own self righteous ways and watch as the population of "pro-choicers" decreases.

Your right, this thread should consist only of people saying "pro-life" or "pro-choice" and then immediately leaving. This wasn't an opinion poll we're expected to discuss the issues.

I don't, and I did.

I don't know if you were aware of this before you made your post, but General is something we like to call a "discussion" forum. Therefore, on these odd and arcane "discussion" forums, some measure of "discussion" is expected to occur when a new topic is put forward by an OP. Stating an opinion and whining in subsequent posts about the flaws in that opinion being carefully picked apart does not a "discussion" make.

If you're having trouble with this, you may wish to refer to a dictionary, as the term can be somewhat difficult to grasp if one is not already familiar with it.

Because I am expected to understand the law even without all of that. Police officers don't take "I didn't understand what the law meant" as an excuse.

Anyway, if you wanted to talk to professionals, you wouldn't be posting here.

He was being sarcastic.

yeah I know, I just don't know if I should fix every "no your wrong" with, "no I'm not". What do you think the limit of counters I could do without being regarded as spam?

If you don't know what you're talking about you shouldn't be posting here. It's generally understood when you participate in a conversation that you either have some understanding of the subject or you'll acknowledge you don't rather than try to tell people who do that you know better.

No, it's not.

If that were the case, only doctors would be allowed to say anything.

When someone makes a single post, which is LITERALLY "abortion is wrong. it is murder" and than leaves, are we supposed to make an essay-length point-by-point post that explains how they're wrong?

Nah, I'm pretty sure "point-and-laugh" is the acceptable response.

No, he's right. If you don't know what you're talking about don't post here. Seriously. You don't have to be a professional but you have to at least have an understanding of the subject- which you don't.

I am not going to be censored by intellectualists.

About two. And the correct term is not "No, I'm not," it's "Nuh-UUUHH."

I sense trolling..... no just a disturbance in the force

I'm all for discussion, but
pro-life pro-choice,
fixed

doesn't constitute "discussion" as you would put it.

[Des-Bal]

No, it's not.

There's a difference between being a professional and not talking out your ass. It's not at all unreasonable to expect participants in a discussion to have some knowledge on what their talking about. You started making absurd claims that a quick google search could tell you were wrong and when people pointed that out to you you stuck to a position based on nothing but your assumptions.

[Samuraikoku]

No, he's right. If you don't know what you're talking about don't post here. Seriously. You don't have to be a professional but you have to at least have an understanding of the subject- which you don't.

No, but you're going to be told you don't know what you're talking about.

[Raeyh]

No, but you're going to be told you don't know what you're talking about.

I don't mind that. I'll likely just forget about it, anyway.

[Des-Bal]

Your not being censored by intellectualists your being told to stop making shit up.

[Samuraikoku]

No, but you're going to be told you don't know what you're talking about.

I don't mind that. I'll likely just forget about it, anyway.

The problem is that it creates a vicious circle.

thanks, I'll be sure to remember that for the future

What Samuraikoku said. Seriously, go away if you nothing new to say.

Which is why we've had 100 pages of discussion and debate about the legality and morality of abortion.

[Sailsia]

Ah, so not only do you not know what you're talking about, but you express a desire to REMAIN ignorant. Wonderful.
