it made us all do that. xD
Ok, thought so. xD
Who was it out of curiosity? A new person, I take it, that was just banned?
Alright then. Glad to hear. :)
You can feel free to PM me. :)
This isn't about your opinions on abortion as you can comment in the thread on that. Keep on topic please. As for the question itself, abortion has been around probably for an extremely long time. Mothers that cannot raise children would do it or as someone mentioned, leave the baby behind as animals do if they cannot care for the children due to extenuating unsafe circumstances. Parents also who did want a certain gender child would abandon or kill newborns of the wrong gender, which has gone on for at least a couple thousand years and still goes on today in some countries commonly. I can see abortion as probably having been around for thousands of years, though it is more common in the past that women had to have babies and -then- they were killed by the father or mother due to not wanting the baby. Women who gave themselves abortions... it was more deadly to them usually than just having the baby back when things were not so sanitary etc.
I think that sometimes it works and other times, it fails because there has to be a different approach done for some criminals. I think we need better rehabilitation assistance for people who do get out of prison and there are certain people that should -never- be released and just be coined as lifers. There are too many times where someone gets in prison and gets out on good behavior or because some religious wackos justify that they have 'converted' someone to their religion so they are 'changed'. Pedos are going to be pedos whether people like it or not. They don't need to be out in society. They need psychiatric help and to be away from kids altogether. Rapists can repeat the offenses, murderers can repeat the offenses. How we deal with psychopaths in particular needs to be addressed as they do not respond the same to a person that does an act out of emotional reaction (i.e. a person who commits a crime based on a severe emotional trauma). Anyone that goes to prison, I think needs psychiatric help to determine what kind of profile they have so that they can be seen if they can be readjusted to society or not. People on drug charges of 'possession' can likely change to me more than someone who is a rapist or murderer or pedo. Even some murderers can change depending on the reason the crime was committed in the first place. Also, law and order applies to civil suit matters too such as malpractice and negligence. These cases, so long as fair and balanced, can change things and come out alright. The law works when it watches out for both the criminal accused and the people who will suffer if said criminal gets out and goes back to the life that got them in trouble in the first place. It does not work when it protects too much one side over another. Also, I am not really a fan of the death penalty that is in some states because I do not believe innocent people should ever die and it is better to just have people be lifers rather than make a mistake that can never be compensated for. Some people want their revenge but that is not what law is totally about. So, I'd say in closing that the law works a good portion of the time but until certain things are remedied, it will not work -most- of the time and probably even then, it cannot work all of the time. We can only do the best we can and as we learn of more mental conditions etc, I think the stronger law can be when we do get involved and ensure people's safety and well being.
First off, don't listen to what Daxma said about telling your mom off. She is pregnant and working her butt off to feed you and take care of you guys. She does not deserve to be talked back to by someone who she is concerned about but she's got to help put food on the table. She probably -does- get headaches from the stress. Your problems are not as big as hers and they can be solved by not making your problems worse and chastising your mother. (Sorry to disagree heavily with you on this, Daxma but yeah.. that'll get a 12 year girl nowhere fast.) Your brothers are your brothers. You are obviously older than they are and so you are being asked to be responsible and help out in a situation because your parents obviously require more money to get you all what you need. Your mom -needs- your help so that she can go to work. Otherwise she cannot do anything. As an older sibling too, I know how it feels to have to watch the younger ones... especially when they are not helpful and sometimes just want to argue with you for no reason. You are going to have to buckle down and accept this responsibility but there are some things you can try so it can be more enjoyable for you. 1. Try to make sure you don't try to sound too much like 'mom and dad'. You are the older sister so maybe see if you can play a game with them or do something recreational they enjoy for a bit. Take the time to be an older sibling so that you and your brothers maybe get some more positive times out of the deal than just negative ones. If they are being really hard to deal with, yeah, you kind of have to put your foot down, but if you can, make sure you try to loosen up and go into this business of babysitting them with as positive an outlook and a plan as you can have. 2. Maybe try to teach them something if you can or have them help do small things to 'surprise mom'. Say 'let's surprise mom today so she can come home to a clean house' or something like that. Psyche them into maybe learning how to use the microwave if they are old enough, or to make chocolate milk etc. Doing participation things with them can help keep them busy and also maybe they won't be so 'annoying' as siblings can be. Being a nerd at school... Those kids may laugh at you now and call you a nerd but most 'nerds' don't get asked out either. That's pretty perplexing. Maybe instead you come off as a sort of 'know-it-all' and in the end, nerds may be made fun of in school for being 'too smart' or sometimes even seeming 'snobbish' but if you do your best at learning the material and can try to just accept people in school think stupid things about others, you'll do yourself well when you are an adult and out of school. Part of school is learning socialization and there's no other place around that can make us all feel like crap at times. Other students can really suck as they demoralize and bug the crap out of you. The thing to do is to come to terms with the fact that no one can live to anyone's super expectations and that you should just be yourself and do what you like to do. Don't worry what they think because none of those kids who make fun of you are even going to really be around after school. If you grow up yourself, those same kids that mock you won't get as far as you will. Nerds anyway, get the best paying jobs. xD If you are getting beaten up in school physically, you should try to talk to your counselor. Talk to your dad. Whether he's -mom- or not, if mom isn't feeling well, she just isn't. Try talking to her but not with a whining complaining sort of voice. Say you'd like her advice on how she would deal with some things going on and explain it as maturely as you can. If she still won't listen to you, talk to your dad. Men are not just oblivious to what goes on in a young girl's life and sometimes dads are actually more wise on things to do. If you explain here even on how you are being beaten up etc, maybe we can offer you some advice. If boys ask you out and bug you after, just say you want them as friends and move on. At 12, most of that dating stuff is a game anyway and they will get over it. Don't focus on it. Just be nice but also direct and if you have to, use the excuse of 'my parents won't let me date till I'm 15 or 16." That sometimes works. I hope things get better for you and you have a lot on your plate to do. Try to make the best of it and hang in there. Things will calm down after the baby is born hopefully and your mom will be around some more.
Nine Inch Nails was an inspiration for a lot of bands. Trent Reznor has written some amazing songs. I had a debate with someone over them saying Johnny Cash wrote the song too. Johnny Cash did a great cover of the song but yeah, it's NiN.
One never knows. xD
If only Black Friday was what it was anymore. Hardly anything cool is for sale then as it once was. :(
So you want it to say : TYRĄNNT ?
Around 400 bucks. I want another 600 or so which after this upcoming week or two I should have.. I hope. xD
Televised.. haha. They'd fall asleep. I went today for the first day and man.. it was so tiring. Of course going in on 2 hours of sleep probably didn't help any. I'll try to get a bit more today. xD
I prefer Windows 7 to all the stuff mentioned, and also like Linux and Mandriva, Ubuntu stuff. Mac is okay but I've not been impressed with them and use them at work. Windows 7 is definitely an improvement to Vista though.
Sorry, this won't be done. There are Coders there to monitor the spam and if you find spam, perhaps PM them as you would another staff member in another area. The forum has a character limit set already and sometimes people just write short replies, but those replies do not necessarily count as spam if they are on topic and to the point. Going to close this since the idea is rejected.
This section will be moving soon. Edit: Just going to go ahead and do it now.
Sounds like a plan if after 2 weeks I'm not incredibly bored.
But what if I want extra pay? I could draw this out being the one annoying juror that says 'ni' a lot.
Me so silleh. g'uee hee hee. Kefka laughs make everything sound so weird.
