WASHINGTON  Â— The father of a teen who died after taking an abortion pill says new safety warnings added by the government aren't enough to protect women. Because a third death now has been linked to RU-486, the Food and Drug Administration should bar sales of the abortion pill, said the grieving father.
Besides, I thought the pro-aborts insisted on being referred to as pro-choice. But how can they maintain a shred of intellectual honesty in this matter when they want to force unwilling institutions to provide abortions? Keep in mind that for the most part we're not talking about health issues here, but elective abortions.
Interesting piece, Jethro. Two statements stand out:
Have you noticed the recurring modus operandi of liberal activists these days of trying to radically change the status quo and then painting those fighting to retain it as the agitators? Or better yet, as the "dividers of the country."

Yes, Bill, there are illogical wackos on both sides. I guess I just see more of the liberal types. But I don't go to places like Free Republic. I hate that stuff no matter who does it.
Well, I wouldn't call the WaPo, NY or LA Times as bastions of objectivity, but they all do have good individual reporters. AP and Reuters aren't objective, either. But you're right, looking for the same story in several places can give you better perspective as well as more detail. I watch Fox News, but I also look for alternative reporting on the big stories.

Maybe 59 percent are saying they're tired of the culture war. They've seen enough anger, unrest and mayhem and they're not interested in busting open another hornet's nest.
Sadie said she couldn't work out  What it was all about  And so she let go  Now Sadie's on the street  And the people she meets you know  She tried to be a good girl and a good wife  Raise a good family  Lead a good life  It's not good enough  She got herself up on the 48th floor  Gotta find out  Find out what she's living for
Nothing
I think it more appropiate to say I believe i know nothing at all.
Saying "I know nothing" is implicaive of knowing something. That something being that you know nothing.
I understand your point, just your language, I believe, needs to be adjusted
You believe you understand his point. But you can't know it. Just like I believe this debate could go on and on. I just don't know it.
understanding and knowing are too different things.
there is no implication of knowing if one understands
The last 20 messages read like a Hunter S Thompson screed. Carry on.
un-f philosophy
I love Hunter S, Thompson. We named a cat after him.
It sounds more like the stream of consciousness in James Joyce's Ulysses. It also makes about as much sense.
come now, learn the game
::sigh::
poor THX, this must be too learn'd for him
Informaion is not knowledge
Knowledge is not wisdom
Wisdom is not truth
Truth is not beauty
Beauty is not love
Love is not music
Music is the best
Wisdom is the domain of the Wis,
(which is extinct)
Beauty is a French, phonetic corruption
of a short cloth neck ornament
Currently in resurgence
poor THX, this must be too learn'd for him
You're just too dishonest to have a normal conversation.
or too learn'd to have a conversation with someone who has no idea what the fuck I am talking about
I know what you're talking about.
It's irrelevant to the conversation we were having.
You're just skirting the issue that Jethro is more educated than you.
You started off as a pompous ass, and you continue...
Just admit you were arrogant and wrong.
You're just skirting the issue that Jethro is more educated than you.
He may very well be, but no one knows that for sure

Well, the former part of your latter statement is spot on
He may very well be, but no one knows that for sure
I gotta admit, that made me laugh.
Now goodnight.
I'm off to the cabin with the family early tomorrow, so I've got things to do.
have a nice weekend

Come on THX, haven't you seen the Matrix? Just choose the red or blue pill already...
Sheesh, and I thought you were the one.
I wouldn't know.
Obviously you do though.
Well how else am I supposed to respond to that?
Yeah, that was funny.
Hahaha
It took you three months to come up with that gem?
heh
No, actually it took only a minute...
Really? Cuz Grandpa Dan posted that in August.
It just took you a couple days to come up with a retort.
It did?
I responded within a few hours.
LOL
Have a nice day, Bill Fold.
I saw the red pill and posted...
ah that is where your posts come from!!!!!
Seems Bill Fold has an anal fixation.

I fixed it.

JT, how do I keep that from happening?
I don't know exactly.
Somehow you're copying the HTML/XML instead of just the text.
That one's a mess. I'm not gonna try to fix that one.
You could give me the link and I could try to post it.

No, I've erased it. I'll see what I can do in future from this end. Thanks.

Sadie said she couldn't work out
 What it was all about
 And so she let go
 Now Sadie's on the street
 And the people she meets you know
 She tried to be a good girl and a good wife
 Raise a good family
 Lead a good life
 It's not good enough
 She got herself up on the 48th floor
 Gotta find out
 Find out what she's living for
Surrender, Surrender
 Surrender, Surrender
