  1. Several people apparently decided to punish me for my political views and were hurting my "rep-power".

    Doing something like that because of political views is petty and outrageous.

    I got some negative reviews on some of my posts too, from conservatives, and I received no apology.

    So I really can't blame you for fighting back.

    I apologized to you! <grin>


  2. I cheated also, I 'm so ashamed. I ate some fish and to much of it.

    We have been out of town and went to my dads friends house and they were cooking fish We sat down. And My dad told the man I could not eat but I felt I would insult them by not eating. and it looked so good I just blew it. I have a vg band but I'm still scared I felt some discomfort for about 5 min but did not throw-up. I chewed it up to a mushie state but it was not my greatest moment.


  3. Alex, ansewer me this how is waht I said differnt from what you said you picked my group out I picked yours out. I did not attack anyone personaly. I said the things i said about a group of people. as I told you before, my problem with you is that the same rules that you are trying to tell others you don't abide by yourself. So just tell me where My general statements toward certian groups are differnt than your statments?


  4. Funny, you've mentioned several times that you've asked for forgiveness for your abortion. Have you forgiven yourself? :hug:

    Honestly. When we asked you to tone down your rhetoric when you first got here, it wasn't anything personal. You did, and we thank you, and you're a welcome part of this site. Why so defensive? My comment about "rabid pro-lifers" is not a personal attack on anyone, and correctly describes the subset of right-to-lifers about whom I was talking. It's not an insult to say they exist, is it?

    Anyway, what you're describing is essentially anarchy. You believe people have the right to kill? For no reason? Assuming that the consequences you mention are not that our victims' families will come after us but that the law will means that in fact you do believe the law should get involved. Were you being sarcastic?

    Your post was just as personal as mine the fact is. I really did not attact anyone personally and if you need proof go look at my post But because I stand where I do you think it is okay to degrade me. But you can dish it out but you can't take it. But please if I am wrong prove it. Quote the post I made that was so more offensive than your rabid pro-lifer post. You can't they are basicaly the same. I said I did not like homosexuals (did not direct this at anyone on this site was a general statment) And I don't like abortions or libreals. So the way I see it you are calling me the same. what bothers me is that just because you are the word police you think the same rule you gave me does not apply to you. Me I really don't care what you call me. It does not really matter.


  5. What do you mean by "undone"? Do you mean it "flipping" or pulling away from the abdominal wall? Or are you talking about something closer to assembly failure, where the port becomes detached from the tubing, for example?

    You're recently banded, you should expect to have your port area be sore for a while. It was about 3 - 4 weeks before the "twinges" and "pulls" stopped for me. 4 days post-op, I personally wouldn't be alarmed if the site of an incision felt like it stretched. It *is* stretching... the skin is stretching and hitting on the staples/glue/stitches/whatever, your muscles are doing the same.

    But of course, general advisory, if you're concerned -- do call your surgeon.

    No I just never have had surgery before and I guess I'm just a little hyprocondriac. Thanks for your post


  6. Your first question is exactly what we are all asking. Since there is no way to determine whose line we should follow, we have to trust ourselves to come up with the right answer for ourselves. Why can't you do that for me?

    Is that what happened to you? B)

    The fetus is a FUTURE baby, we all agree on that. But I fail to see how anyone could change the fact of a fetus being a future baby into it being an actual, here-and-now baby. They are different stages on a developmental timeline that can't be simply compressed into nothing.

    The only way I could have been shocked and changed by the statement you describe above is if I didn't understand I was terminating my pregnancy by having an abortion. Which, of course, I did.

    Well if I have a corn stalk growing in my garden and I get a little nub on it I could open it up and take the nub. And have a few cornels of corn on it but it won't grow anymore. but if I leave it there till conception it will still be corn. Corn is corn and Life is Life!


  7. Yet I feel the choice you made is one of the responsible ways to deal with consequences. You did not bring an unwanted child into the world and did not become a mother before you were ready. Even though you feel that these decisions were coerced, others may see them both as very responsible decisions. I'm truly sorry that you don't see it that way and live with regrets.

    I'm confused. Did you feel at the time that abortion was the wrong decision, and still went through with it? Or did you come to feel that way later? What do you think your decision would have been had you just been given information and told to go home and think about it? Without the lectures and scare tactics, would you have continued the pregnancy or gone through with the abortion?

    The rest of your statements about consequences and punishments seem to be not borne of your experience, but rather your convictions about the rights of fetuses. As has been said repeatedly, we don't all share those convictions. I knew what a mother feels, too, and I came quite independently to the decision to terminate that pregnancy. Should I have had that choice removed because YOU feel differently about the "rights" of a potential baby?

    Rabid pro-lifers seem to think that they can reduce the occurrence of what they see as murder by passing some laws, but this is the utmost fallacy. Abortion has been around as long as sex has, and a law or two will NEVER change that. What we as a civilized society should be doing is supporting and protecting women from unscrupulous monsters on either side who take advantage of them. Abortion is a reality, and to drive it underground would be the worst thing we could possibly do to our daughters.

    Just 3 weeks ago you were telling me to watch what I say about pro choice, and homosexuals you told me not to use those words. But I guess since you are a modorator. It's okay for you to say stuff like rabid Pro-lifers Well since you will probably kick me off this site, Now that I have questioned you. I will tell you what I feel. I think when rabid pro-choice people can't see reason it is sad. For the most part,the same people that are pro-choice are also against death penalty and they are for Gun control. So let me get the really strait if a person such as my self wants to protect myself with a gun, you say there should be no guns. And if a man takes the life of another you say, he should sit in a prison with cable tv and play baskeball all his life but no death penalty. But if a woman with her doctor kills a living organism, a Baby, a living being. And from other post I've read you people say that if they can't breath they aren't living. Well that is wrong my Grandpa Was on a breathing machine and was very much alive. So a baby in the womb is still alive. But you say it is ok to kill that? Well this is where it is for me. I'm pro choice also. (What did he just say) You heard me right! I'm pro choice. I think a woman has a right to get an abortion. Just like I think that a person has a right to kill. And that I have a right to own a weapon (gun). Those are rights that we are born with. We can, be in 4th grade and pull down the fire alarm. But at the end of the day all these things we do have consequences. And if we do good then good thing happen if bad then of course bad things happen. So your right the goverment should not get involved. It should be the way it was throughout history. If you kill, consequences will happen to you when you get caught.
