Are Feminists really promoting "sex genocides"?
YOUR THOUGHTS.....
(Full Article): Sex-selective abortion is rampant in many countries and continues to grow.
According to a publication in Orissa, the female sex ratio in India alone is at an all-time low. Steven Mosher heads the Population Research Institute, which monitors abortion internationally. "This is done in India in epidemic proportions. Its done in China," he notes. "Its done in many, many of the civilizations of East Asia and Southeast Asia."
Mosher contends it has been a losing situation for female children for centuries. However, he says the rise of Christianity has actually helped females, not hurt them, because the Bible recognizes them as having souls and also as the pinnacle of Gods creation in Genesis 2.
Steve Mosher PRI"Lets look back in history before the coming of Christianity. Virtually all societies treated women as not just the weaker sex, but the disposable sex," he points out. "Female infanticide was practiced by the Greeks, by the Romans, by most of the pagan societies -- and it was only with the coming of Christianity that the status of women was raised."
But Mosher adds that radical feminists continue to promote abortion internationally at the expense of their own gender. "The feminists, who want to eliminate all distinctions between men and women, are only exposing their unborn sisters to a horrible form of sexual genocide," he concludes.

*ajtheactress: I am NOT a "feminist" and by posting this article, it had quite a big label to a womans movement. I am curious to know how "feminists" feel about it is all. Sorry you missed the mark and couldnt say anything productive about it - instead you are going to attack me on which you have nothing to instigate on. Oh well you got your 2 anyway.
Answer: Not sex genocide, but they're ignorantly promoting abortion without much consideration for the world-wide consequences. I mean think about all the effects it's having in China; millions of single men, far higher than normal suicide rates on women (with all the social pressure put on them), higher crime rates that results from this skewed ratio. I've always been against abortion because whatever way you look at it, you're playing God with the human race.

Must justice be so selective?
Answer: Who would have thought 30 years ago that crimes such as these would be winked at; at the expense of being "politically correct".
Back then, homosexuals were considered PERVERTS, but now they are a group which is allowed freedom from prosecution because of their sexual preference... even at the expense of destroying the innocence of a little child; and doing him extensive harm, physically and mentally.
This is exactly what happens when SIN
is allowed to run rampant in society.
"God gave them over to a REPROBATE MIND, to do those things which are not convenient"
"Who knowing the judgment of God, that THEY WHICH COMMIT SUCH THINGS ARE WORTHY OF DEATH,
not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."
-Romans 1:28,32
"Righteousness exalts a nation: but
SIN IS A REPROACH TO ANY PEOPLE."

Debt Rollover Plan for Greece May Put It Into Selective Default, S&P Says Bloomberg Greek Presidential guards march in front of the tomb of the Unknown Soldier outside the Greek parliament building in Athens, Greece, ...
Would you say she could be displaying signs of a Psychopath? Should I approach her about it?
A family member of mine has always been different but only ever acts normal in pubilc, everyone loves her when they meet her as she seems nice but in reality she has like three different personalities and as a very close member of her family I have had the chance to observe them all; Public, Family, Real. It was only after looking on various pages of Wikipedia that I noticed alot of traits she has:
The prototypical psychopath has deficits or deviances in several areas: interpersonal relationships, emotion, and self-control. Psychopaths gain satisfaction through antisocial behavior, and do not experience shame, guilt, or remorse for their actions.Psychopaths lack a sense of guilt or remorse for any harm they may have caused others, instead rationalizing the behavior, blaming someone else, or denying it outright.Psychopaths also lack empathy towards others in general, resulting in tactlessness, insensitivity, and contemptuousness. All of this belies their tendency to make a likable first impression; psychopaths have a superficial charm about them, enabled by a willingness to say anything without concern for accuracy or truth. Shallow affect also describes the psychopaths tendency for genuine emotion to be short-lived and egocentric, with an overall cold demeanor. Their behavior is impulsive and irresponsible, often failing to keep a job or defaulting on debts.Psychopaths also have a markedly distorted sense of the potential consequences of their actions, not only for others, but also for themselves. They do not deeply recognize the risk of being caught, disbelieved or injured as a result of their behaviour.
And manipulative techniques:
Lying: It is hard to tell if somebody is lying at the time they do it although often the truth may be apparent later when it is too late. One way to minimize the chances of being lied to is to understand that some personality types (particularly psychopaths) are experts at the art of lying and cheating, doing it frequently, and often in subtle ways.
Lying by omission: This is a very subtle form of lying by withholding a significant amount of the truth. This technique is also used in propaganda.
Denial: Manipulator refuses to admit that he or she has done something wrong.
Rationalization: An excuse made by the manipulator for inappropriate behavior. Rationalization is closely related to spin.
Minimization: This is a type of denial coupled with rationalization. The manipulator asserts that his or her behavior is not as harmful or irresponsible as someone else was suggesting, for example saying that a taunt or insult was only a joke.
Selective inattention or selective attention: Manipulator refuses to pay attention to anything that may distract from his or her agenda, saying things like "I dont want to hear it".
Diversion: Manipulator not giving a straight answer to a straight question and instead being diversionary, steering the conversation onto another topic.
Evasion: Similar to diversion but giving irrelevant, rambling, vague responses, weasel words.
Guilt tripping: A special kind of intimidation tactic. A manipulator suggests to the conscientious victim that he or she does not care enough, is too selfish or has it easy. This usually results in the victim feeling bad, keeping them in a self-doubting, anxious and submissive position.
Shaming: Manipulator uses sarcasm and put-downs to increase fear and self-doubt in the victim. Manipulators use this tactic to make others feel unworthy and therefore defer to them. Shaming tactics can be very subtle such as a fierce look or glance, unpleasant tone of voice, rhetorical comments, subtle sarcasm. Manipulators can make one feel ashamed for even daring to challenge them. It is an effective way to foster a sense of inadequacy in the victim.
Playing the victim role ("poor me"): Manipulator portrays him- or herself as a victim of circumstance or of someone elses behavior in order to gain pity, sympathy or evoke compassion and thereby get something from another. Caring and conscientious people cannot stand to see anyone suffering and the manipulator often finds it easy to play on sympathy to get cooperation.
Vilifying the victim: More than any other, this tactic is a powerful means of putting the victim on the defensive while simultaneously masking the aggressive intent of the manipulator.
Playing the servant role: Cloaking a self-serving agenda in guise of a service to a more noble cause, for example saying he is acting in a certain way for "obedience" and "service" to God or a similar authority figure.
Seduction: Manipulator uses charm, praise, flattery or overtly supporting others in order to get them to lower their defenses and give their trust and loyalty to him or her.
She subtily manipulates people and they never realise it when I question them later.She isnt dangerous unless provoked beyond verbal argument,is very imorral & says she would ki
Answer: You should ask another family member to convince her to see a specialist because to speculate about her condition is not a good thing.. she could simply know that by manipulating others she feels superior... she may just be a tyrant .. or have multiple personality disorder...
Manipulators can be psychopaths, but they don't have to be.. .if she gets away with manipulating other people and they are not aware of it or enable her to get away with that behaviour, then of course she will continue this... She could be talked into seeing a specialist. The whole family should discuss that.. and suggest it to her, depending on her age.. if she is under age, then the sooner she gets help, there is always hope she gets better or even gets diagnosed correctly and it might or might not be that she is a psychopath, because all the characteristics could easily apply to any kind of other disorder.. so she should definitely see a specialist, who is the only one who can diagnose her correctly and give her and you, the family, the optimum help...x

Selective Service help & question?
Ok so I turned 18 on December 24th 2008. About 3 weeks ago, realizing I had to register I went online and tried to register at https://www.sss.gov/Default.htm . I entered all my information but the stupid website apparently said that my Social Security number does not exist. I recheked my number and tried to enter the information 5 more times. I have a SSN and its real and the stupid website says I entered it wrong. Fine, I go to the post office and fill out a card and attach some postage about 2 weeks ago thinking I had done it. So I go online again to check the progress of my registration and as expected "SSN does not exist". I then try to call up the number they put in the website (1-847-688-3117) because they said that sometimes the information can not be retrieved. I call the number about 3 or 4 times, making sure to dial the right numbers. Every single time it says that the phone number does not exist and to make sure I dialed correctly. So what is my recourse when this government agency is filled with incompetent morons and are worse then FEMA?
Answer: I do not think that the agency is filled with incompetents. (I believe that most of the positions are unfilled, last I heard,) I agree with M1A1, you might have a problem with your SSN.
By the way this is the number that I found on sss.gov 1-847-688-6888

I tried to open an Adobe Document but it would say Adobe 8.1 has stopped working so i unistalled it thinking that I could reinstall the program. Help please...and im not a techie so please use the simpliest methods of explanations that you can give :)Thanks
Answer: You can try a workaround. Install Firefox and use it to go to Adobe.com. Firefox doesn't use the ActiveX control to install Adobe Reader, it downloads a file. Save the installer and then run it from your local computer and see if that works.

Laptop for video editing & gaming?
I am currently searching for a Laptop which I can use for video editing and gaming.
I am very selective mind you so Im not after something which can handle high performance on the latest games. I merely want a PC laptop which can handle Sims 3, Oblivion (modded) and Civilization 4 (Rise of Man Mod) and I find it hard to understand graphic card names.
Ive already been researching for durable laptops, Dell being the worse, Toshiba I know being okay as I sat on mine enough to cup it and it still works, but I want something that wont burn out and everything is pointing to a Thinkpad.

Ya dont need to read everything, but Im looking forward to receiving some responses from you guys :) If I left anything out do let me know so I can repost this with better efford, once again thanks for reading and am looking forward to hearing from you :)

I would choose it because it has a intel core i5 processor and it looks like it has turbo boost. That would make your video editing and gaming go faster, along with your computing experience.
Also it has intel HD Graphics, that would be good for a smooth gaming experience and also be good for smooth video editing as well.

If this lawsuit were filed in modern federal court...........would it prevail?
Would this lawsuit be successful?
why or why not?
A lawsuit challenging 2 things:
1. military ban on women in combat (even though there ARE women in combat, it is still technically banned in writing)
2. women being excluded from the selective service registration
A lawsuit challenges these two things as being unconstitutional as they violate 2 amendments:
1. fifth amendment - due process clause
2. fourteenth amendment - equal protection clause
Why Negative Precedent DOES NOT APPLY:
Roskter vs. Goldberg (1981) was a lawsuit challenging the exclusion of women from selective service registration.
The SCOTUS found that excluding women from selective service WAS constitutional.
The basis for the decision, written by William Reihnquist, is as follows:
"The purpose of registration was to prepare for a draft of combat troops. Since women are excluded from combat, Congress concluded that they would not be needed in the event of a draft, and therefore decided not to register them."
Basically, a ban on women in combat was the basis for their decision.
Precedent does not apply because: This lawsuit is challenging that a ban on women in combat is unconstitutional.
If a ban on women in combat is unconstitutional, then by default, a ban on women in the selective service is unconstitutional.
So what do you think of that?
Would such a lawsuit prevail in a modern court?
and also, another thing:
Rosker vs. Goldberg only argued using the 5th amendment.
This lawsuit argues that it violates both the 5th and 14th amendments.
Answer: You might have a case if you could get the court to hear it, particularly on SS registration.
On women in combat...You might be able to get women "assigned" to combat units...but the final decision to "put" women in combat would be made by the commanders in the field.
That is probably why it is not already law.

There is actually no such thing as atheism?
In the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship -- be it JC or Allah, bet it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles -- is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. Its the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. Its been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness.
Worship power, you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. But the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that theyre evil or sinful, its that theyre unconscious. They are default settings.
Theyre the kind of worship you just gradually slip into, day after day, getting more and more selective about what you see and how you measure value without ever being fully aware that thats what youre doing.
And the so-called real world will not discourage you from operating on your default settings, because the so-called real world of men and money and power hums merrily along in a pool of fear and anger and frustration and craving and worship of self. Our own present culture has harnessed these forces in ways that have yielded extraordinary wealth and comfort and personal freedom. The freedom all to be lords of our tiny skull-sized kingdoms, alone at the center of all creation. This kind of freedom has much to recommend it. But of course there are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talk about much in the great outside world of wanting and achieving and [unintelligible -- sounds like "displayal"]. The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day.
That is real freedom. That is being educated, and understanding how to think. The alternative is unconsciousness, the default setting, the rat race, the constant gnawing sense of having had, and lost, some infinite thing.
What do you worship?
