It is Saturday Open Forum. What would you like to discuss?
Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Are there mothers and fathers around here, who have teenage daughters? So what would your decision be, in case an unwanted pregnacny happens, because you, and your daughter’s school (as Palin wants it to be) told her NOTHING about how her body works?
Make your choice wisely.
CONGRATULATIONS!
okay
“Are there mothers and fathers around here, who have teenage daughters? So what would your decision be, in case an unwanted pregnacny happens, because you, and your daughter’s school (as Palin wants it to be) told her NOTHING about how her body works?

First of all. This is an old bait from the pro-abortion (or pro-choice if you are one of these baby murderers) side of the abortion issue. To get to the root of the matter, abortion is murder. If you killed your 11 year old child, it would be murder, if you killed him when he was 6, it would still be murder, if you killed him when he was 1 year old, it would still be murder, if you killed him at the age of one month, it would still be murder, if you kill him 1 month before birth, it would be murder, if you kill him 8 months before birth, it would still be murder.
Liberals like to preach moral relativism because “the law” allows a certain behavior because the law is too vague or undefined to take a moral stand on life.
Gxd gives us his answer about abortion from the Torah and the New Testament:
“…and Rebekah his [Isaac’s] wife conceived. And the children struggled together within her…” (Genesis 25:21-22).
Note that Rebekah’s unborn twins, Jacob and Esau, are referred to as “children” (the Hebrew word used, banim, plural of ben), commonly refers to children after birth, and often has a more specific meaning “sons”.
Right throughout Scripture, murder—that is the intentional killing of innocent humans—is regarded as a heinous sin (Exodus 20:13, Matthew 19:18, Romans 13:9). Since abortion kills an innocent human being, it is nothing less than murder. So all the usual “hard cases” pushed by pro-abortionists, e.g. “What if the woman was raped?,” “What if the child is deformed?,” “What if she can’t afford to keep the child?” are irrelevant.
We should also remember Ezekiel 18:20, which prohibits executing a child for the crime of his/her father. This means that even the tragic cases of pregnancies due to incest or rape are no justification for killing the innocent child conceived.
One cannot support a pro-choice stance and expect to go to Heaven after this life. Many are in danger of Hell for their support and belief in abortion.
These are Gxds rules. Love Him, or leave Him.

“How about Sarah Palin. The most embarissing VP pick ever. Chosen only because she is a female and has a very narrow record that is hard to scrutinize.
An angry Republican.”
What do you have against women? You liberals can’t even hide your duplicity even behind “angry Republican”. You only support women from your party just like you only support poor and minorities from your party. You liberals are cowardly and disgusting. Reach down and grab a pair! You are American too! Be proud that we can elect a Woman President! *Thank goodness its not Darth Hillary*
To son of my father:
Your fundamentalism is as shocking as Sarah Palins. Its amusing how Sarah stated it was Bristols decision (this sounds alot like a choice to me) to keep the baby. So its ok for Palins family to make choices for themselves, but if elected they take this away for the rest of the country. Seems very strange to me. Im sure you are praying that God will build the pipelines to.

Wake up man!!! She was the pick for one reason alone. You know this to be true. Look deep down inside and you will see the answer. But be careful you will not like what you see.

Ah, more liberal clap-trap. Palin can no more take away your rights than the man in the moon. Even if abortion was made illegal and punisable by fines and jail, people would still have them for the same reasons they are today. The procedure would be more expensive (and probably in Mexico), but hey the issue was never about rights, but about convenience. Isn’t it covenient to have an abortion clinic in you town? It would be a problem if you had to go to Juarez Mexico to get your abortion! Oh the costs would be so high that you cannot afford your hedonistic life-style of hoaring and materialism. Oh, now I have hit the center of the liberal mindset. Its all about “Me” and how much “I” want to save money to continue my life style.
I say “Not with my tax dollars!”
Go to Mexico for your abortion.
Get it out of my country.
Also, I am against using my taxes to pay for welfare so that lazy bums can live in rent free homes, drive cadillacs, drink free grape kool-aide, eat free cheetos, and smoke free menthol cigarettes!
Get welfare out of my country too!
Oh, and get my military out of foreign countries. Let those backward nations eat each other!
To george:
Nice rant!! However we may disagree I liked you last sentance. But why no comment about Sarah Palin praying to God to build pipelines. Very disapointed.
I like the politics junkies here 🙂 Me? It takes one to know one. I’ll only say this: McCain had been treated for cancer 4 times and is 72 or so. There’s a good chance he’ll kick the bucket during his presidency and we’ll end up having an a person who got her first passport LAST YEAR so she can go to South Korea running the nation. There’s so much power concentrated in the president that it is flat out DANGEROUS if narrow minded religious extremist becomes one (see Iran).
Clarification: I’m dead in the middle of the political spectrum and would have considered voting for McCain if he was not such a gun ho but now he’s not an option at all.
cheers with Pilzner
What does elect mean in GM elect Yifan Hou?
elect means that it is not official yet. It can be applied to everything. President elect means tha the person will be the next president, etc. Like when Obama wins the elections in November, he’ll be president elect until January 20, 2009 when he officially accepts the post.
Abortion is illegal in Mexico. If a doctor is caught performing such, he would be imprisioned for murder.

Even worse, then the abortions will be done in basements or ….online?

George: all those children you will save eventually will get your welfare checks. funny isnt it.
“George: all those children you will save eventually will get your welfare checks. funny isnt it.”
What is funny is that you confirm what I said ealier:
Oh, now I have hit the center of the liberal mindset. Its all about “Me” and how much “I” want to save money to continue my life style.
You will be saying in Hell:
“I killed my child to save money so I could buy more crap from Walmart! … Where is my money god to save me from these fires! Where is my fame and fortune to save me from these fires! How I hate God! I hate God! I hate God!”
This is what the spirit in you is saying. This is why you hate me and other “Religious nut-jobs”. You are a lost soul that has evil lurking within. The darkness hates the light. Your unbeleif simply makes it harder for you to see the truth of my words. Those with faith see the truth of my words.
“But why no comment about Sarah Palin praying to God to build pipelines. Very disapointed.”
Because God doesn’t have to. That is what Exxon and Shell is for. Drilling starts spring of 2009.
One of the worlds largest gas fields is in Alaska.
Go Natural Gas!
I’ll say one thing: the rabid republican zealots on this blog seem to have a lot more time on their hands than the democrats, because their rants are so much longer.
Or maybe it’s just that they have a lot more to feel defensive about.
I didn’t mean, make your choice wisely about having an abortion or not (while that certainly is the more difficult decision), but make your choice wisely WHOM YOU VOTE FOR!
Less sex education will NOT mean more births, and of course it will not mean less sex among minors (ask Palin’s own daughter if you doubt it), it will mean more abortions. Legal or not. Ponder about that. So where’s America going to? Educated teenagers who know what they are doing, or more teenager tragedies and abortions, sometimes in a dirty backroom and girls dying from it? Make your choice.
Wow! George, you really are a fundamentalist nut-job. That said, I dont hate you, I never said that. I respect your ideas. This truly makes USA the greatest place to live. Once you start trying to control the lives of others you diminish what this great Union is all about. I dont shop at WalMart, this place is for you uninformed rednecks. I dont support abortion either. I do support a females choice to make descisions about HER body.

Very interesting that Mccains VP is from Alaska. Basically the Texas of the North. Why arent you guys sick of having Government in the pockets of oil and gas??
Susan,
You must intervene to get these politically minded people off a chess blog. There are other avenues for them,surely.

“WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE?
Sorry to shout, but this is a chess forum primarily, not a political forum and definitely not a forum for rants and raves.”
Aw, come on Peter. You can’t be saying that you don’t like free speech? I think it is great to see crazy people dry hump each other in cyberspace. Now that’s entertainment!
