If I was an athiest I would have an ideology, but I am an agnostic. Agnostics do not have an ideology. We just do not know if there is or isn't a God and we sure as hell don't base our foreign policy based on the voices we want to hear in our heads on some mythical devine God which can not be proved to exist or can not be proved to not exist.

It would be nice to see men better protected in the courts when it comes to child custody and child support payments (there men seem to get a raw deal). But until men start doing what Arnold did in Hollywood (get pregnant) it is not our bodies and we should not be telling our female counterparts what they should and shouldn't be doing with their lives.

And now thousands of innocent Iraqis and Americans have died thanks to your beloved Burble Thumper GWB. Don't even waste your breath trying to defend this war as it has been nothing but a waste of lives, money and time on all sides. The Iraq war had nothing to do with 9/11 and WMDs. The American people were lied to by their leadership and you are now stuck in the abyss with no way to save face and win. This is nothing but a lose-lose scenario for America and Iraq and we can thank GWB for the mess the world now finds itself. Maybe it is time for America to have a female president (be it Clinton or Rice ... or someone else) because I'm pretty sure they would not be so egar to start another war in a place like ... Iran. GWB is indefensible. The man is dangerous to the world. Why do some Americans fail to see this. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

If this is your personal view that you don't feel needs to be legislated into law for all to follow, then I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. But we have a serious case of conflicting views if you feel these views of yours should be passed as laws for all to follow. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

As the father your opinion should be heard. But it is not your body which hosts the fetus and your opinion is not the final opinion (unless you happen to be a control freak which is not the intentions to imply in this post). Ultimately if the woman does not want the baby, she does not want the baby. Why do you continue NOT to recognize this and instead insist that all women be forced to comply with your morals.

I doubt very much she would be invading countries and starting wars which result in the deaths of thousands and thousands of innocent people on both sides. Or is the only life that is worth preserving a neo-con Burble thumper's life. How about them apples. I don't even support Clinton, but she's got to be better than that moron George W Bush.

I think I know what I am (besides being a tad crazy ). I am a fiscal conservative and someone who sits somewhere near the center when it comes to social issues. I think that makes me a Libertarian. Unfortunately I do not appear to have very many political options. It appears that the only choices are to be a Burble thumping neo-con ... or a socialist and I dislike both groups immensely. I guess I should follow my signature line more often ... less bitching and more jumping since I can't win either way. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

This is a really fucked up story and I couldn't believe it when I heard it on the radio this morning. There are some pretty fucked up people in this world. I voted "It is really stupid to judge a whole group of people because of the actions of a few". Just like it is wrong to judge all Muslims based on what the radicals are doing in this world, it is wrong to judge all Texans as redneck hicks based on this event. But those Texans involved in this incident are just as fucked up as the suicide bombers in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. They show little respect for life. If society doesn't throw the book at these Texas low lifes, let's hope our potential maker (assuming there even is one) throws the book at them when they leave this earth.

Thanks for the clarification Wendy. When I was issued my "Mars" users manual, it came in a really small binder and it fact it was just one page long with little more than one paragraph worth of contents. I was never issued the "Venus" encyclopedia so there are tons of things I don't know about you ladies. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Correct me if I am wrong people, but abortions (not counting medical issues where the mother's life is at risk) are NOT performed at the late stages of a pregnancy. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Why is it your business? Is it based on a societal construct that says we should defend those who can't defend themselves? To me it's not so much about trying to defend the undefendable (or maybe it is). I just wish more men would stand up to other men and tell them that it is unacceptable behavior for men to be either verbally or physically abusing their female spouses. But this is for another thread and not directly related to the abortion debate. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Like finding ways to reduce their spending instead of constantly looking to increase property taxes. But fret not Toronto, you're not the only one with a "tax and spend" mayor in Canada. We here in Calgary have our own socialist constantly whining about what a raw deal he gets in the form on Dave "Bronco" Bronconier. Now I can see how Toronto ended up with a socialist mayor, but it still boggles the mind how Cowtown in the middle of conservative Alberta elected a socialist mayor.

No argument here ... However one needs to know the history about this Miller character to truly understand the story behind this story. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

There are no special interests groups in Canada. Stop victimizing those poor people ... and don't forget to donate 90% of your desposible income into Mr Miller's special interest projects. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Fine Butters I respect your opinions on the matter and maybe in your case, you do feel so strongly about the right to life of the fetus. But with that in mind, what are you doing about the war in Iraq? What are you doing about the famine in Africa? What are you doing about the poverty in your own country? Do not all these other people also have the right to life? Still waiting for some other pro-lifer besides Butters to tell me exactly why you are so against abortion. I have my theories ... but to avoid the stereotypes I won't mention it right now. PS: I'm not doing shit about the war in Iraq, the faminine in Africa and while I do a small amount to battle poverty in my country, I am not the one who is claiming the right to life here. I am just battling for the right for people to choose their own destiny. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

I'm still waiting for the pro-lifers to come out and say it. I have my theories (which I already hinted at in another post) as to why you are so against aborting the fetus. But to claim humans rights is the reason when the vast majority of pro-lifers support a president who wages war is just not selling your arguments to me. What about the rights to life of the people your president indirectly killed when he decided to invade another country? Come on pro-lifers just tell us the real reason why you are against abortion. We know it's not human rights. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

news flash ... there is no shortage of dead beat dads out there who have made this decision not to support their child. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

I can see where you are coming from in terms of your motorcycle argument when it relates to socialism, but I am at a loss when it comes to how teenage pregnancy is related to socialism? Oh and for the record this pro-choicer can't stand socialists. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Pro-lifers aren't being very honest with us here. I am pro-choice because I want to give women control over the direction they want to take their lives. So please can at least one pro-lifer tell us why the fetus is more important than the woman? Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Of course we are all different and none of us share identical views of how the world should work. But... 1) Where are the vast majority of Pro-Lifers from? Red States ... 2) Who voted for GWB? Red States ... 3) Who supports GWB as he wages his wars around the world? Red States ... Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

1) Well let's take away the fetus here because we all know they can not choose anything at this early stage of their existence. 2) As for men, stop painting us as victims. The vast majority of the men in these abortion cases were in only for sex. Plus we are not the ones who have to endure the hardships of the pregnancy. 3) Assisted suicide? Sure I support this. If someone does not want to live, why should they? It is their life is it not? 4) Drugs? Can you be more specific exactly what you want to debate? If you're talking about casual soft drugs usage, why not let people choose. Alcohol causes more damage yet we let people choose there. I need more specifics here. 5) Guns? In a past life I may have been on the gun-control side. But thanks to a little debating and self educating I have since changed my stance and now believe it is okay for people to choose whether or not they wish to arm themselves. Just as long as they do not have a criminal/mental health history, I feel it is okay to let people choose here. 6) Sexuality ... more specifics here please. Are you referring to hetrosexual versus homosexual choices? I fall into hetrosexual camp, but I do believe it is okay for homosexuals to choose to be together and they should NOT be desciminated against. If you see the common denominator here is that I believe we should give people the choice to choose what direction they want to take their lives. Pro-lifers want to take this choice away from women.

I think his point was that the government intrudes on many of our supposed personal freedoms. And you don't see the hyporicy here? The fact that you are all to willing to support a group in government to take away the freedom to choose one's own destiny? How is it that so many pro-lifers are huge supporters of the freedom Americans enjoy to the point where you are all to willing to support starting wars against other nations. Yet you then want to take this freedom to choose away from your own women? Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
