    fatteee, I would only wish that any lady facing such a decision could read your last post first.

    BTW, If I'm patronizing you...you'll know it. My viewpoint and value judgment are just as valuable to me as yours are to you.

    Finish your life well and quit beating yourself up...get therapy if you need it...nuf said!

    This has degenerated into name calling and bullying, and Diesel I am disappointed at your response to my polite request.

    I am sure that many people would read the last couple of pages on this thread and wonder why a group of adults would be spending so much time bullying and upsetting the young people for whom this site is designed.

    You are all able to string a good debate together, and I would like to see the standard raised back to its previous high level. Hopefully the older users of these boards will be able to set a good example to the younger users.

    Karla, I was being nice...and it was partially in response to your request...I was also speaking as I would want others to address a daughter of mine facing such a decision.

    It would be with deepest regret that I would find that fatteee felt bullied...on the other hand, we say things differently and perhaps by being deliberate it appeared so.

    I was going to reply to your questions thantos or whatever your fucking name is. But due to that karla has made a request to stop I am not going to reply as I dont want to lower the standards of thesite.

    I am not to concerned about the abortion rules in what you believe and what anyone else believes, you are entitled to your opinion if I agree to it or not!!

    My main problem that I had was the fact that you wished whowhere contracted AIDS!!!! You to me are one sick fuck and I am happy to know that I will have the pleasure in knowing that I will never have to meet a dickhead so much as yourself.

    Sorry karla if I have over stepped again, but I want that arse to know my true feelings about him!!!

    Not being frivolous...but what is the AIDS/HIV situation in the ol pirate kingdom? Who is or is not geting it...and its social impact?

    Whole races of Africans are dying from it on the dark continent...it is in all of our, US, big cities and many of the small ones...and contrary to publicity, it is spreading because there is an attitude here of geting as many infected as possible in order to force 'them' to find a cure!

    TJ, you don't have to wish this nasty shit on anyone...it is already everywhere and the careless get caught by it all the time.

    Having sat this one out, NOT having had the desire to roll around in the fetid mire with all and sundry...

    My take on the positions of Diesel and Thanatos Jr is that they are speaking of accepting responsibility for their choices and actions. Some will accept responsibility, and some wish to pass the blame to ANYONE else.

    From my own life experience (not that it should matter to anyone here, but prefaces WHATEVER it is which I "proselytize"):

    When I was 30 yrs old, and HEAVILY involved with making a carear of professional motorcycle racing, my wife took it upon herself to get pregnant against my spoken will, at the same time as two of her sisters. A form of passive/aggressive control. All three delivered within six weeks, and two on the same day.

    I was WELL aware that becoming a father would initiate the end of my racing carear. NOT what I wanted. When my son was about two months old, his mother left and took him with her, then filed for divorce.

    I fought for two years to get custody of my son, fought like hell, and suffered the extortion of paying off his mother's credit card bills three times before I finally gained custody of him. When he came to live with me, life as I knew it ENDED! I no longer raced at National and International championship events... and within a short time, even local events stopped.

    It is about choices... making the conscious choice of whether or not you will be responsible for your actions, and the choices you make/made.

    I made the "hard" choice, and for me, the RIGHT choice: I became a single father. I raised a son with the intent of his becoming competent, and responsible for HIS choices. Within the heritage that was passed on to me, my predecessors made mistakes, and then owned up to the consequences of those mistakes.

    I do not make it generally known what my son and I went through, together, because it is NO ONE'S damned business but ours. Neither of us parade it in front of others. This is one of those rare moments when my tolerance of other's whining has been overcome.
    I don't really give a damned what others think of my choice, because I am not so insecure as to live my life to please others. I made my choice for MY reasons. I am at peace with God...

    If ANYONE is dealing with guilt, or other psychological after affects, then that person should understand that they have a problem SOMEWHERE within themselves with the choice they made, and THAT should indicate whether that choice was right or wrong. YOUR conscience should guide you, whether you allow it to, or not...

    And some have not even a passing acquaintance with honor or integrity. Justify it as you will... if it is easier to take the life of your progeny (REGARDLESS of whether you are male OR female), and END it, rather than to accept the responsibility of your choices, then THAT should tell you something about your individual integrity.

    Semantics be DAMNED... abortion is simply culturally excused murder, whether it is legal or not. Call it what it IS: if you must lie about it and put another name to it in order to excuse it, then you should be looking INWARD.

    Responsibility for SELF is a theme which has been the basis of most of my posts within this forum, WHATEVER the subject of the thread. DISCIPLINE! Those who accept responsibility for themselves, I respect; those who WILL NOT, I have only disgust. Whowhere's preferance to murder a child rather than to support it comes as NO surprise to me... it is TOTALLY in keeping with what has been posted elsewhere, on other topics.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Having been involved in war, I am aware that laws are merely artificial constraints which others would enact/uphold in order to manipulate our behavior. Whether it is legal or not, you WILL do whatever it is which you will do...

    It is the whining about it which disgusts me...

    btw... I have ONE child... and I ACCEPTED responsibility for him... <IMG alt="image" SRC="wink.gif" border="0">

    Whowhere, I wish people like you would have slept with someone with AIDS instead of a girl that is willing to be responsable for her actions.

    A question, why don't you feel great after you have an abortion? Is it because the surgury made you woosy, or the fact that a human being with detectable brain waves had a needle stuck into his/her head and had their brains suctioned out. I think this is enough fuel for the fire for now. Don't want it to get to hot.</STRONG>


    Fuck you. The fact that you think you can deal with it is because you are an adult (supposedly). You have a full time job, you have finished education. I am only 18, this is something I do not want nor need right now. You hope I get AIDS? I hope you get shot right through the fucking stomach by some kid who you thought could handle having a gun.

    Diesel, AIDS is not as much of a problem in Britain, in 1999 there were about 1000 recorded cases.
    In Africa there are over 30 million cases, due to their misguided belief that it can be cured by having sex with a virgin.

    Army boy, you keep making references to my sex life e.t.c. You make out that I am some sort of male whore, sleeping with as many women as I can.
    The reality is I have slept with 3. 2 of those were long term girlfriends, 1 of whom I was with for 1 1/2 years. After we broke up, my friends and family were telling me to go out, have some fun. So I did, I thought, I might as well try this one night stand stuff, what's the worst that can happen.

    So Army boy, I am not promiscuous, I don't go in search of virgins at clubs or anything like that, so keep your assumptions to yourself.

    As for your daddy going on about abortion being another name for murder, just legalised murder. BEing in the armed forces is exactly the same, you make a conscious decision to kill. So don't come here lecturing teenagers about our immorality, when you get PAID for trying to kill as many people as you can.

    Whohere it might be better for us to ignore these people. They are obviously too perfect to have ever made a mistake and so wont understand the fact that most people go through life making many mistakes and hopefully learning from them. They are in the fortunate position of being utterly flawless, perfect human beings.

    I'm surprised they don't have a halo round their heads and wings sticking out of their backs!

    If men got pregnant abortion would be a wonderful gift from God...

    Religious people are hypocritical morons who see women as little more than hod-carriers. Which is why Christians either wont, or are extremely hostile, to female clergy and it was legal to rape your wife until about 1990.

    Tj is 20. Comparable age.

    Guess being "an adult" is not determined by chronological age, but by the willingness to accept responsibility for ones actions and decisions.

    And here y'all made SUCH a fuss over bein' refered to as a child, and NOW you claim being a child as defense fer not wanting to be responsible for what you have done.

    Perhaps, in the future, ALL of your opinions upon ANY matter should be prefaced by "but I am a child, NOT an adult..."

    {Squinty, Karla, et al...

    There is a WORLD of difference between an armed combatant, out to kill YOU, and a child (whether already born or NOT), INCAPABLE of the conscious choice of engaging in armed combat. To compare the two is to prove the irrational and delusion state within which you wallow and slither...

    If you take the time to read the pertinent post, you might find that I accepted the consequences for another's decision. I had complicity, even though without knowledge OR consent...

    If you choose denial to ease your guilt, then you should consider the act and/or decisions which bring about the guilt.

    Even feral animals fight to their death to protect their young... might consider THAT! <IMG alt="image" SRC="wink.gif" border="0">

    For some, responsibility for their acts and decisions is a matter of honor, not of convenience. Those without honor cannot be expected to comprehend the obvious...

    When exactly have I made a fuss about being treated like an adult/child?? I don't recall ever using the words "don't treat me like a child". In some ways I am an adult, and in others I am still a child. I have had a lot of stressful things to deal with, maybe not in your "superior" eyes. But tough for me to deal with.

    As for the army boy comment, to me all American soldiers are equally worthless, regardless of what service they are in, they are different in name only, I am well aware that he is in the marines, but I know from my own experiences how Naval personnel hate being compared to their superior army comrades.
    Fine, you don't agree with abortion, most Americans dont, lacking in information does that to people, it helps you to develop a narrow minded view, it also has a nasty habit of making people judgmental and prejudiced of all things differentl. A country that had an un-official apartheid until the late 60's.

    Please don't apply your narrow minded military logic to me, you don't know me, and I can say I am happy that I will never have to suffer the inconvience of knowing you.

    It is the whining about it which disgusts me...


    OK..but you have to accept that some people do not ever have this psychological problem with what they have done. Some people do not become effected by any kind of guilt and some people do not whine about it.
    The last two pages of this thread may have given some people that impression but past pages show that the 'psychological effects of abortion' do no effect everyone.

    One question ... why did you fight your wife so hard for a child you did not want. Was she an un-fit mother (Apart from the credit card which is nothing unusual).
    Did you fight her so hard for revenge?

    Your message seems a little mixed up. on the one hand you seem to be kind of blaming your wife and your son for the end of your career, on the other you fought tooth and nail to take him away from her.

    What is it you are saying ...? accept the consequences of your actions? I'm asuming that you had sex with your wife and so therefore there was always a chance she would become pregnant (Contraception sometimes fails - see earlier posts) so you must have been aware (as someone who faces their responsibility and accepts the consequences) that this may happen...so why did you become so bitter about the fact your wife got pregnant - surely it was always a possibility?

    You say you don't like whining but your post is full of it.

    Wasn't the original question about whether abortion is murder or not, NOT about whether women shouold be burnt at the stake for having what is afterall a legal procedure.

    "Tj is a MARINE, NOT a dog-face. Might get your facts straight..."

    "1..2..3..4..I love marine core" Who gives a fuck what part of the fucking stupid armed forces you are in.

    Mind you your armed forces like to make it a regular occurance in all the wars to kill soldiers, officers on your own side and allied forces is that part of your contract?????? Cos as it seems you and your fellow commrads never seem to make any mistakes?????

    I also dont see anyone saying that they are children, so where did that pointless arguement come from??? He did say that he was too young meaning that he was young in his life and wanted to do things and prepare himself for a better life so that when he did bring a child into the world that he did bring it up int the best standards that he can give it!!

    But hey your about the same age so that makes it ok to call him a child!!! You may see yourself as being old(probably cos you act like a boring old far) I am 20 as well but I still see myself as young!!

    stands up and applauds

    Bravo, bravo you are soooooooooo perfect, oh how I wish I was you in every way in that you see yourself as a fully grown adult at the age of 20. Sees you have a fulfilling life as it is and dont care about anything else but your armed forces!!!! But I forgot your sooo perfect that you care about everyone and everything in this entire world!! I must bow down to your all time greatness!!! As what your country is known for saying "what a crock of shit"!!!! <IMG alt="image" SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> <IMG alt="image" SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0">

    The words sad come to mind when describing you and your brother, how about you go back to your boot camp and get your nipples twisted off some army......oh sorry dont want to piss you off again, better get my facts right, MARINE sergeant!!!

    Personally I think the mods should close the thread as the pair of yous are making more enemies on thesite than anything else.

    Fatteee, if you were my daughter I would sit down with you, take your hand in mine, look you in the eye and say to you what is in my heart...and then tell you to put the past behind you, ther is no more room for shame in your life...and dam sure no more apologies to self or others.

    You don't need my approval or approval from anyone else.

    As a matter of fact, you are indeed perfect just the way you are...as are we all. Some of us make perfectly awful decisions which haunt us later...now, go and look in the mirror and love yourself and allow those around you to express the loving care for you that we hold without the 'guilt trip' you have laid on yourself. As was said a long time ago to a prostitute by a holy man, 'go forth and sin no more.'

    It's time to put this thread to sleep. I would like to point out to ALL users that they should not be using hateful or racist language etc etc. We don't care how long you've been posting here - if we need to keep warning you and you ignore it, then we'll ban you.

    It will be taken much more seriously if users take their complaints straight to one of the moderators, rather than retaliating on the boards in a childish manner. Flame wars make everybody look stupid, and can put others off using the boards.
