Japan to resume whaling in Antarctic despite court ruling

Yep.

By the way the dude is crazy as a loon.

Shooter at Planned Parenthood was a recluse new to Colorado
Al Jazeera America - too long to copypasta, selected bits:

Edit: Paged!

I agree with you. His killing was indiscriminate and heavy handed.

But I can sympathize to a degree with his wanting to end the killing of the unborn.

Yeah I already mentioned that a few pages back, I meant that you confused Faroe Islands with Norway and Iceland since they hunt them too

The Faroes are a bit north of where they hunt.

They don't hunt them though, they haven't since '84

Its simple really. Every time my right wing friends say baby when they mean fetus I instantly cut in with parasite.

Killing a person is not the same as killing an embryo/fetus lol

Yes it is and generations from now will be horrified when they look back on us and people like you that so easily "lol" it off. Abortion supporters will join the ranks of history's slave owners, genocide and eugenics.

Yeah, and people who shoot up women's clinics will be heralded. LOL

There once was a bunch of treasonous killers in our country.

Eventually they became known as our forefathers and painted up to be as hero's.

So it wouldn't surprise me a whole lot.

Wow lol

I never understood ppl who think they have such a high moral standard that they cannot permit a woman to be allowed to decide for herself what's in her own best interests. I don't understand the debate itself, pro-choice vs pro-life, let alone lunatics going postal over something that ain't exactly any of thier business. Why do ppl insist on trying to make decisions for other ppl.

I don't argue with people that are cold and disgusting enough to condone brutally killing an unborn child. Their humanity is too far gone.

Faroe Islands are not in the EU

You keep trying with this shock tactic everytime the issue is brought up, but we keep laughing at your attempts.

Not to mention Endoq condoning the shooter's actions lol.

Did I condone his actions?
I called his actions "indiscriminate and heavy-handed".
Does this sound like condoning?
I would have much rather the murderers stop from their murderings and turn to the truth and be saved by the gospel of Christ Jesus.
If not for this at least for the very sake of those around them that have their conscience emboldened by these insidious acts.

In Paris

I don't get it, they were marching in favour of the climate conference, so why the fighting?

Stupid people who just wanna fight the police

I read something about "rounding up climate activists."

This looks mote like the WTO protests in Seattle a while ago.

So you make decisions for her instead? I can think of many reasons a woman might decide to terminate a pregnancy. None of them which are any of your business. Are those whom side with pro-life really that against woman's rights? She's allowed to drive. Get a job. Join the army but deciding not to give birth to someone else's baby.... "that's MY business ...now I'm drawing the line." Really?

Ugh, this argument again. Every law is a restriction on people and the choices they can make. Driving is regulated. Employment is regulated. Military service is regulated. Guess what? Abortion is too. Arguing about the specifics of how abortion should or shouldn't be regulated is fine, but don't pretend that it's now some untouchable choice that women have complete reign over without consequence.

You landed right on it. Anti-abortion activity is specifically about consequences. The appeal to emotion and hyperbole is just a device, restricting women's access to reproductive care is all about punishing women for having sex for pleasure.

I'm sure some people see it that way, but you do not speak for all pro-lifers. If stereotyping makes you feel better, have at it.

Then what is the point? Why ignore the Supreme Court, countless medical professionals, and civil rights consultants and try to outlaw what has been a fundamental liberty for women in developed nations for 40 years? Unless it's just the emotional crap, which gives even less credibility to pro-life. Why don't lifers seem to give a crap about the child after its born?

There's some gaping holes in the argument as it's presented and the evidence.

Murder is generally accepted as being wrong. Many pro-lifers view abortion as murder. Agree or not, it's not a hard concept to grasp. I'm sure you disagree with the Supreme Court on a regular basis, so that's a dumb point to bring up anyway. As far as how children are viewed after they're born, well, as valid as a concern as that might be, it's a tangent that is hardly related to the issue.

I really never understood the issue with abortion. Although it's one of those issues where you could consider me ultra liberal on. I don't even care if women uses it as a form of birth control. Well at least not enough to stop them. I can fully understand putting limitation on when a woman can get one, IE. no abortions after the 2nd trimester unless necessary. I usually lean towards this solution.

My thoughts on abortion stem the fact that there's too many people in general plus there's probably too many babies born who eventually clog up the orphanages / adoption system. Killing a baby is murder when it's born healthy and deliberately killed. Trying to label an abortion as murder before it even has developed a brain or a heart beat seems nonsensical.

I don't understand women who wait until 5+ months into a pregnancy that then decide to abort it. Personally, I don't care if they do or not, but that just seems irresponsible on their part. Women who constantly have abortions, whether or not as a means of birth control, eventually pay for it in how their body changes so it's not like they're completely free from consequences.

I can even understand the issue of a father waiting a baby when the mother wants to abort it, but forcing a woman to incubate their baby against their will is one of those things that humanity needs to move past. It's an antiquated notion. Buy a cloning vat.


This guy just seems like some crazy mountain man who visits society every couple of years.

It's weird to think that this one guy was able to injure 11 (or 8 including the dear, not sure how the total is now) people kill 1 cop 2 bystanders/civilians all with a shotgun (I think that's what the news said, I'm no gun expert so I have no idea) and create a 5 hour standoff with law enforcement to the point where so many resources had to be brought in, etc.

Whenever a mass shooting occurs with one person, I'm a little confused how just one person can cause so much damage in such little time with just one firearm.

Pro-lifers care very much about kids after they're born. To insist that they don't just because they don't allow unlimited open access to their wallets doesn't mean ***.

Most "pro-choice" people I know would rather show outrage over a picture of a dog with it's mouth taped up than for the unborn that are killed via abortion.

Yeah, at least a person can attempt to preserve their own life, a fetus is entirely helpless.
