Strega replied to Adam's discussion 'Do Men have the right to a "financial abortion"'"I agree with you Unseen - I find it interesting that anyone would consider an abortion to be acceptable as an emergency operation to eliminate an unwanted pregnancy, yet immoral if its the first port of call. Idiotic, perhaps, but immoral?"
Strega replied to Adam's discussion 'Do Men have the right to a "financial abortion"'"@Rocky John, you are also then making a moral judgement on smokers, red meat eaters, drinkers, extreme skiers, motor car racers.....etc. All immoral to you?

Strega replied to Adam's discussion 'Do Men have the right to a "financial abortion"'"@Belle That made me laugh, although with a great deal of affection :)"
Strega replied to Adam's discussion 'Do Men have the right to a "financial abortion"'"Yes I read it - but the law doesn't insist he carries on paying the vet bills, inoculations, food and other care if the couple split up."
Strega replied to Adam's discussion 'Do Men have the right to a "financial abortion"'"What if the woman lies to the man and says she is on the pill, or infertile? Lies are rife when it comes to persuading another person to have sex. Lies are not a male prerogative.
Under the current circumstances, adults are aware that…"
Strega replied to G's discussion 'Is your trust in science based on faith or based on science?'"Possibly because we have the National Health system, so all hospitals are part of the same system to us. There are some private hospitals but these are so much in the minority, that we don't think of them when we define the hospital…"
Strega replied to Adam's discussion 'Do Men have the right to a "financial abortion"'"So you are saying it's not advisable to use abortion as the first form of birth control, not that it is immoral. Is that correct?"
Strega replied to Richard E. Robertson's discussion 'What happened to "Sunday School"?'"It's actually Nelson's blog. Here is the link to this weeks Sunday School - I found it for you by searching in the Members Lists for Nelson, and then going to his page and scrolling down for the blog. I hope that helps, not…"
Strega replied to J T Benjamin's discussion 'From Ricky Gervais' Twitter feed.'"Yes, sorry about my post above, I honestly wasn't picking on spelling, and I'm glad to get the chance to clarify. I just found it quirky that it was possible to filter hate messages in a search engine in respect of atheism by simply…"
Strega replied to Adam's discussion 'Do Men have the right to a "financial abortion"'"Matt, I think you phrased it better than I did. I'm on the same page as you."
Strega replied to Adam's discussion 'Do Men have the right to a "financial abortion"'"This subject doesn't affect me directly, but can I ask what your (Rocky john & Belle Rose) rationale is for that statement?"
Strega commented on Morgan Matthew's blog post 'Bill Nye Boo'd In Texas For Saying The Moon Reflects The Sun'"@Arch yes I'm sure. But I liked the bite sized version you gave above, too"
Strega commented on Morgan Matthew's blog post 'Bill Nye Boo'd In Texas For Saying The Moon Reflects The Sun'"Thanks, Robert Germanovich! You are quite correct :)

Strega replied to Adam's discussion 'Do Men have the right to a "financial abortion"'"Adam, I can see that there is a definite problem with the absence of equality. If it were possible for the man to actually carry the child to term, then it would be a lot easier to draw lines in the sand, so to speak, and define fairness to…"
Strega replied to J T Benjamin's discussion 'From Ricky Gervais' Twitter feed.'"SteveinCO pointed out to me that a huge number of anti-atheist posts on the net spell atheist incorrectly, putting the i before the e. So if you Google "athiest" you can sift through a whole heap of tripe in one fell swoop. I…"

A while back, I had a long chat with my niece, trying to explain what I believe is the inevitability of events and the consequent contradiction of the concept of free will. She puttered off and posted on her page/site/whatever, what was probably a two hour conversation condensed into a short explanation. I post that here to give the benefit of brevity to anyone who is interested.
