I believe life starts at conception.

Not that I want to write laws regarding that, but I know that my wife and I, and everyone else I know that has children, considered my children's lives as starting the second we learned they existed.

We certainly behaved that way.

 

So which one is it?  Does life begin at conception, or does it begin when we learn that a woman is pregnant?

 

For me, life begins at around age 7 or 8.  My son just turned 9, so he appears to have made it.  My 5 year old daughter, however, well we’re still on the fence as to whether or not we’re gonna “keep her.”  She keeps acting up, and Daddy might have to drive her out to a farm where she will have room to run and be naughty.  She will be happier there ?

Accepting that a proven great team at full strength is not going to lose 85-0

 

they will probably win

 

and being furious for more than two minutes after is really immature

 

unless I had at least $2,000 on the game

I also support abortion up to and including the 49th trimester.

Hero worship of the military is not a positive thing for a democracy. There are bad people in the services just like there are bad people in every other profession, including mine.

 

Also, Buffalo sports fans highly overrate themselves.

 

 

the best military people were often behind the scenes

 

it's a great area for reading and learning about leadership, even if they don't put you on TV or make a movie about you, as will happen for basically every one of us on here...  :D

College has become a huge business. 

College dose not make everyone smarter.   

50% of people that go are wasting time and large amounts of money. 

 

Just my opinion.  

The job I'm in now at a software company, requires a two year degree. I don't have that, but I have 8 years customer service/tech support experience. They hired me based on that, and figured I could learn the rest along the way. Assuming I stay with the company long term, I may take a few courses that would help me here, but I don't plan on getting a degree any time soon. 

 

As far as the topic of the thread goes, without getting too PP:

 

  • When gay marriage was legalized it was a step backwards. Instead of allowing same-sex couples to obtain a marriage licence, they should have just eliminated the requirement of a marriage licence altogether. 
  • Taxation is Theft.
  • EJ Manuel was a good quarterback, that Doug Marrone ruined.
  • U2 is extremely overrated, and haven't done anything good since Joshua Tree.
  • Mamba is better than Starburst.

Yeah. This one will get you in huge trouble. I remember when my cousin came back from Iraq. We picked him up at the airport. Him and I were really close, so I genuinely was just excited to see him. But when we were walking through the airport, like four people rudely interrupted our conversation just to thank him for his service.

that sucks ...  I hate that concept myself.   I've been doing my job for over 30 years and I still can't get the title of Engineer.  

 

But hey,  I get paid as much and sometimes more than some engineers.   So Call me a janitor, just pay me well.

People arrested for possession (without intent to sell)/use of opioids should go to rehab; not jail.

 

Forcible rape should be life imprisonment with no parole, if found guilty.

 

A person who falsely accuses someone of a crime should face the maximum penalty of said crime.

 

Pedophiles/sexual predators should be sent to prison for life, no parole, as they cannot be rehabilitated.

 

I believe in pro-choice.

 

I believe in the right to die.

 

I think everyone deserves healthcare.

 

I think more money needs to be spent on preventing people from taking advantage of social services/SNAP/welfare, etc., because there are enough people who truly need it.

 

I think it's too easy to become a police officer.

 

I also think policemen and corrections officers are grossly underpaid.

 

I think letting combat war veterans hold jobs that allow/require them to hold or use firearms is a mistake.

 

 

Strangely, I agree with about 75% of what you just said. That scares me.

The majority of homeless people in the United States are there as a result of their own bad decisions.

Some bitchy neighbor called Family Services in 85 because we had an argument to not leave the garbage pails under my living room window.  Do you know how demeaning that is having someone come in and inspect your 18 month old for bruises?  

That Lesbocitch deserved to face charges. 

 

Forcible rapist should be castrated

Pedophiles/sexual predators should be castrated

Adults who are still picky eaters have low IQs.

 

Bumper stickers of any kind are for picky eaters.

 

Leaving your shopping cart propped up on a curb or free to roam around a parking lot should be punishable by jail time.  Walk it back to the corral you lazy f@#$s! 

 

Also, using a weight bench as a coffee table and doing exercises next to the bench should be punishable by hard jail time.

 

Lying about your connecting flight leaving in 10 minutes to deplane faster, jumping up a boarding group, cutting in line, not re-racking your weights, and the myriad other things people do to game the system and save precious seconds doesn't make you clever.  It makes you an #######.

i suppose my controversial opinions are in response to some ideas here.  

 

all education, in any form, is a positive.  how you go about it, and what you spend on it is up to you.  they can never take an education from you.  some education may not train you for a specific job, but you should learn critical thinking, other beliefs, exposure to new ideas,etc.

 

and i don't think everyone needs to serve in the military.  i completely get the idea, but i was someone who didn't want to, didn't need to, and would not have gotten a single thing from it.  in fact, going into the military would have held me back in life in terms of timing.

i think many, (possibly the majority) are homeless due to mental health issues.

I've had CPS called on both of my parents, granted one was kind of my fault. First time, when I was about four, I hit the little girl that I was playing with. My mom lightly slapped me and told me not to do it again. Later that weekend, I legit fell down the stairs, and got a black eye. Monday, I got to school, and when the teacher asked why I had a black eye, my response was "My mom hit me."

 

The second time was total bullsh*t. I was about 8 or 9, so my brother was about 4 or 5. We went to McDonald's, and the drive thru was long, so my dad just went in and got the food. My brother and I played in the car, pretending we were driving. When my dad came out, he told my brother to get in the back seat, and motioned back, and then drove off. Pretty uneventful.

 

Until a knock came on the door a few days later. Some lady took down my dad's licence plate. She called CPS and said that my dad left us in the car for 30 minutes, went into McDonald's, ate his food by himself (my dad hates McDonald's), then came back out, and hit my brother so hard that he fell into the back seat.
