Fat people are fat because they made bad decisions.
Being overly large or overly skinny is not good and people shouldn't be told "you're beautiful no matter what your size" because it is detrimental to their health and affects others.
Smokers are idiots.
Drinking alcohol until you pass out and brain cells die by the hundreds is not "cool" or "fun"

But it is not a baby at this point it, could be either an embryo or fetus but it is most certainly not a baby, in my opinion. Do you believe that it is a baby at conception?


It isn't physically a child, but if your aborting it whilst it is only an embryo I view that challenge as being a possible life and therefore, you have theoretically killed cells that will have made a child. However, maybe my views biased because that's how I'm taught it as being by school.

Yes, it's cruel


Even without the whips? What about owning a family pet?

Its a fact, you cannot say nope not really...


*It's

And I wasn't arguing with the 'facts', I just said your post didn't give me 'food for thought', so to speak

Deterrence is an afterthought, I just like the thought of punishing violent criminals in the most violent way possible, I'm a bit sadistic like that:biggrin:

Oh are you religious then? So then is it only wrong because it has the potential for life, but is not actually living?

I think countries (specifically the UK) should lower immigration and foreign involvement, and instead look at the problems within. Help yourself before you help others.


...despite the fact that others have vastly bigger problems than your own?

My sincerest apologies for that missing apostrophe...

That is actually quite unnerving.

Catholic school and yes it has the potential for life and therefore seen as wrong.

I'm not convinced that male baldness is fully genetic, although obviously there is a genetic component. There are studies which suggest that the western diet and lifestyle has more to do with baldness than genetics. When scientists don't know something, they seem to blame genes and it's a bit of a cop out.

Yes.

Yes.


Well that's pretty disgusting, in my view.

It's my most controversial view, so I'm not surprised by that.

Yes, if you are a young person who binge drinks or chain-smokes 'for fun' I think you're trash.
In theory, I'd love to place those who don't do anything to society by the age of 40 (unless it's not their fault) in a desert island and hold a mini Hunger Games style event there.

In practice, that would be bull**** since how are you meant to measure a person's worth to the rest of us.

I also believe that left wing activists should shut up about Israel until they acknowledge Hamas' rocket attacks, both parties in the conflict should be blamed.

I mean no offense in the way I phrase this, but do not you see how it would be better to abort the potential baby and save it from having a life without love, than to keep it an force it into a world where the mother does not want it?

I agree, I am only more annoyed when young people do it because it seems as if they're desperate to be rebellious and popular.

That's not to say anyone chain smoking or binge drinking doesn't appall me

Yeah, I do tbh because although that child if not aborted would live, it wouldn't really have a great childhood so maybe for the best abortion may be used. Depends on the situation I think.

It's not always that simple though. I think we usually get involved in foreign conflicts etc because it will benefit us. It doesn't always help the other country and can make the situation worse in ways.
