OK Kieps.

To be fair, I'm not convinced that you have any idea about what it is to be a scientist.

I'm somewhat flattered that my private life has become part of your **** bank. Thanks for that.
Your mind immediately jumps there? Curious :unsure:

Excellent observation!

I am behaving like a child who has been trained to question everything. To become a "scientist" even if they do not go into science. To observe, identify and deduce what the evidence presents using the scientific method. Perhaps you are familiar with the scientific method from your matric?

I'm sorry to say, but they failed in your training. There is knowing something and then there is knowing when to apply said thing. Perhaps if you actually did go into the sciences, like many here, your words would carry more weight *shrugs*

You are aware that my Afrikaans is quite poor. Thank you for your generous offer, do please translate for me. Baai dankie.

Up/down (and right/wrong, fascist/,non-facisst) for the right wing seems to be a nebulous concept, so forgive me if I take that with a pinch of salt.
No I wasn't aware. I mean you did have the language at school and I would assume you have some friends, but anyway...
Just incase you're not being facetious... Loosely translated "A good comprehension does not require a full explanation."

No Sucky there is nothing nebulous with regards to punching up.

I note that you have abandoned our discussion after I asked for your credentials as a scientist - to be delivered via PM.

I wonder why that is?
Perhaps because neither I, nor anyone else, have to prove anything to you?

Are you one of those people that have their degrees (or likely a diploma in your case) framed and up in their office?
I know some people like that. Quite insecure in their own abilities.

edit : anyway I forgot about your special ability when it comes to threads.

I am Zimbabwean. We followed the GCSE syllabus, so my French is better than my Afrikaans.

I do speak a dialect of Afrikaans, but Kaapse Taal seems, in my experience - having learnt it exclusively by travelling on taxis - to consist of a large number of verbs, adverbs and adjectives, but they all appear to centre around a single possesive and a noun, which is "jou ma", and generally decribe her lady parts.

Well so we learn...Nice multicultural group here.
Some there tend to like using that phrase yes.

No Kieps. I do not have a degree, or a diploma.

My current (and past) employers may beg to differ.

You seem to profess some knowledge; why not share it?

Welcome back on your soapbox Greg. Enjoy the stay.

As mentioned in earlier post. Don't pretend you actually care what is contained in the bill. You are against the very nature of it. No matter what exceptions are included.
Can't do it, can you, Kieppie?

In a thread where everyone has either read SB8, or read enough about SB8 to know exactly what it says, you've decided the best position to hold is defending your denial of reality like some feral hamster trapped in a corner.

Fascinating.

Oh, and I really do care what's in the bill, which is why I keep pressing you on it, and it's why I'll keep pressing 'till you admit the text has no protections for rape or incest.

Also, just a heads up... Sad Sack dodges like this:

Anyway the medical emergencies exception could cater for those situation

Where you use "could", or "might", or "possibly" like...

While the rest of the English speaking world use it like...

Yeah, that's not going to cut it, pal.

Go search then. Konfab mentioned it
So you fob my argument off on the excuse that it's been done before and you can't even be bothered to address it yourself?

This is silly. It will grow until it runs out of nutrients and then start to die. The same with a baby in a crib if not fed.
Also the viability age is being reduced as medicine improves.
The difference is, anyone can feed a baby -only one person can keep a foetus alive

It's silly because it's in conflict with the hill you have decided to die on.. Anyone can feed a baby in a crib, only one person can feed a fetus and if that person decides that their body is not available to sustain another life are you going to force them?

What's next, forcing people to donate kidneys to keep people alive?

The difference is, the life support of a patient is via machine and nurses and doctors. If those Nurses and Doctors quit their jobs, could you force them to work to keep that patient alive,? Because that is exactly what you are doing by forcing a woman to carry a baby to term that she doesn't want, forcing a person to use their body to keep another person alive.
So, using your reasoning, a woman should be allowed to murder any of her children she no longer wants?

Hey @Cray.
What be your opinion with regards to capital punishment (aka death penalty).
You for it, or against it.

You would probably not spot the irony of a pro-choice activist participating in an anti-death penalty rally.
BTW - I don't expect you to understand the irony.

No your analogy is incorrect.

The doctors did not put the patient in that situation due to their actions. Otherwise they would be culpable.
The woman, baring a few exceptions, did.
So now it comes down to it, the implicit judgement that comes from all pro-life people, the woman should be forced to do something because of her slutty behaviour?

Against because the justice system in the states has far too many political components and people get convicted wrongly because some prosecutor wants to win an election.

Again, I have no problem with guilty people being punished, and in my view, a life sentence in a small cell is a greater punishment than death. And you can always repeal a life sentence if it turns out the person was wrongly convicted.

As for that final dig, don't you have some creationist BS to spread in the PD forum?

Nope, just that they cannot be forced to care for them if they choose not too, that's why the foster system exists.

Yup... Because she was asking for it.

Or because of her sexual history.

Or because she was 'cold'.

Or because she shouldn't have been wearing what she was wearing.

Or because her sexual orientation needed correcting.

Or because boys will be boys.

Or because of the "evil games that woman play".


Man, the masks fit badly to begin with, but they sure slip real fast when this topic comes up.
