  6. I wouldn't cheer or boo. My loyalties are to the White Sox...not all the players that have played for them. Frank Thomas is no longer here so with that so goes my support of him. Whether a player is here for 5 years or 16 years, once he leaves...he's not on MY team anymore. I applaud him for his talents, and I did it everytime he stepped to the plate for the Sox, regardless of what was said, but now he's stepping to the plate for someone else...so he's not getting my applause. I was always just a fan of Frank's talent and now his talent is with someone else... Now, there are rare examples of people who I feel, are great character guys who I will cheer for and support even after they leave the Sox. Robin Ventura, Aaron Rowand and if MB ever left I would put him in that category. I personally never saw Frank as a great character guy. I saw him as a unbelievable talent on my favorite team. Probably the greatest hitter in the history of my favorite team, but I just never saw him as that person I would just like to hang out with, cause he's a great person.

I don't know anyone that's for randomly walking up to someone and lethally injecting them. However, if that someone rapes and brutally murders someone...I'll be happy to pay for the syringe. What a pathetic arguement the whole killing an unborn baby and killing a murderer is. Wish I can stay and chat about it, but I'm outtie. Have a good weekend.

Hypocrisy and and corruption always starts out small. The more you can get away with the more your attempts grow on a grander scale. Laugh if you want it just shows how morally bankrupt we've become. When we curse the generations to come look inwards because we are the ones who taught them. Maybe we should move this to the buster. All kinds of morally bankrupt folk in there.......

  10. QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 12:59 PM) From religioustolerance.org regarding the reason for D&X (Partial Birth) procedures. Estimates place the procedure to be somewhere around one quarter of one percent of pregnancy termination procedures overall. From your site....About 140,000 second trimester abortions are performed yearly. They represent 9% of the total. Some are performed because the woman simply does not wish to remain pregnant. That's way to many for me...I don't care if it's like only 9%. The 1.2 million/year number is too dam high. Abortion is not a form of birth control.
  11. QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 12:57 PM) Graphics aside, I agree about late-term abortions. The only ones that should be allowed are if the mother is in life-threatening danger. In that case, the law has no place - it should remain between mother, family and doctors. The mother may decide her childs life is more important then hers as well. It is a terribly tough decision for that family and I think it is entirely theirs to make.
  12. I believe Late Term abortions need to go with the lone exception being the mothers health. How many are performed for other reasons?? We don't know. The pro-life crowd says many, the pro-choice crowd says very few. I can't really find stats on it. I don't know....for me it's just so hard to see all those body parts and think it's not a baby. Here's some pictures(graphic) I just found....they can help put some things into context http://priestsforlife.org/resources/photosbyage/index.htm http://priestsforlife.org/resources/photosassorted/index.htm
  13. My wife left me... And I don't understand. After the last child was born, she told me we had to cut back on expenses - I had to give up drinking beer. I was not a big drinker, maybe a 12-pack on weekends. Anyway, I gave it up but I noticed the other day when she came home from grocery shopping, the receipt included $45 for makeup. I said, "Wait a minute I've given up beer and you haven't given up anything!" She said, "I buy that makeup for you, so I can look pretty for you." I told her, "That's what the beer was for!" I don't think she'll be back. __________________________________________________________ 5 Winning Smart Ass Answers For 2005 >> >> Smart Ass Answer #5: >> >> A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets. >> As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed at her. >> >> Without missing a beat....she said, "Sir, I need to see your ticket not your stub." >> >> ***************** >> Smart Ass Answer #4: >> >> A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but she couldn't find one big enough for her family.

  18. Black and white twins By LUCY LAING, Daily Mail 08:57am 21st February 2006 Kylie with partner Remi and daughters Remee and Kian When Kylie Hodgson gave birth to twin daughters by caesarean section, she was just relieved that they had arrived safely. It was only when the midwife handed them over for her to hold that she noticed the difference between them. Remee, who weighed 5lb 15oz, was blonde and fair skinned. Her sister Kian, born a minute later weighing 6lb, was black. 'Our two gorgeous little girls' "It was a shock when I realised that my twins were two different colours," said Kylie, 19. "But it doesn't matter to us - they are just our two gorgeous little girls." The amazing conception happened after two eggs were fertilised at the same time in the womb. Both Kylie and her partner Remi Horder, 17, are of mixed race. Their mothers are both white and their fathers are black. According to the Multiple Births Foundation, baby Kian must have inherited the black genes from both sides of the family, whilst Remee inherited the white ones. Kylie, from Nottingham, discovered she was pregnant in the summer of 2004 and a scan at the Queen's Medical Centre revealed that twins were on the way. "It was a shock at first to discover I was expecting as we hadn't been trying for a family," she said I had my 14-week scan and the sonographer ran the scanner over my stomach and announced that I was carrying twins. "We couldn't believe it. Neither of us could take our eyes off the scanner - you could just see two of everything, even the outline of their little noses. We were both overwhelmed." The twins were born by caesarean in April last year because one of the girls was lying in an awkward position in the womb. "I didn't see them at first," added their mother. "They were both whisked away to be checked over and then the midwife came back and placed them both in my arms. "I noticed that both of them had beautiful blue eyes, but whilst Remee was blonde, Kian's hair was black and she had darker skin. "It seemed strange, but I was feeling so ill that I didn't really take it in at that stage." The next day she mentioned the colour difference to her mother, who told her that Remee's skin would darken as she grew older. But as the weeks passed, Remee became lighter still while Kian went darker. And while Remee's eyes stayed blue, Kian's turned brown. "There are some similarities between them," said their mother. "They both love apples and grapes, and their favourite television programme is Teletubbies. "If they haven't seen each other for a few hours, they are so pleased to see each other and will hold out their arms, wanting to hug each other. And their smiles just light up their faces. "I'll explain it all to them when they get older about why they look so different." Million to one odds The odds against of a mixed race couple having twins of dramatically different colour are a million to one. Skin colour is believed to be determined by up to seven different genes working together. If a woman is of mixed race, her eggs will usually contain a mixture of genes coding for both black and white skin. Similarly, a man of mixed race will have a variety of different genes in his sperm. When these eggs and sperm come together, they will create a baby of mixed race. But, very occasionally, the egg or sperm might contain genes coding for one skin colour. If both the egg and sperm contain all white genes, the baby will be white. And if both contain just the versions necessary for black skin, the baby will be black. For a mixed-race couple, the odds of either of these scenarios is around 100 to one. But both scenarios can occur at the same time if the woman conceives non-identical twins, another 100 to one chance. This involves two eggs being fertilised by two sperm at the same time, which also has odds of around 100 to one. If a sperm containing all-white genes fuses with a similar egg and a sperm coding for purely black skin fuses with a similar egg, two babies of dramatically different colours will be born. The odds of this happening are 100 x 100 x 100 - a million to one.

  20. QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 09:04 AM) I agree. For lack of a better definition of life, my line is drawn at the point where the baby could live on its own (thus, an indepedant life form). So, I feel the only time any sort abortions after that point of viability should be allowed is if the mother's life is in danger. If it comes down to the mother versus the child, that choice needs to be left to mother/father. And this is the way the law is currently structured, correct? There aren't any scenarios where a late term abortion could be performed when the mother's life wasn't in danger, are there? Now, I am not up on the details on this, but I understand this is regarding a specific method or methods for the procedure, right? So my question is, if anyone can answer it... Are there other procedures available, should that mother/baby choice arise, that can get the job done effectively? DOCTORS SEE LIES BEHIND REASONS FOR LATE-TERM ABORTIONS by Mike Royko former columnist Chicago Tribune - reprinted from Human Life Review Spring 1997 Leading abortion advocates are circling their wagons, and poor Ron Fitzsimmons, once one of them, seems to have been shoved outside the tight circle. Fitzsimmons is the conscience-stricken head of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers who now admits that he took part in telling Americans the big lie about so-called partial-birth abortions. During the national debate on the late-term brain-sucking procedure, Fitzsimmons was one of many pro-abortion spokespersons and media dupes who assured the nation that almost all late-term abortions were done to preserve the health of the mother or because the fetus had serious abnormalities. Now, Fitzsimmons said, "I lied through my teeth". And that most late-term abortions were done for the same reason as early abortions - because women wanted to end pregnancies. Fitzsimmons’ confession was barely out of his mouth when he was whopped by fellow abortion advocates, who held a news conference to say, in effect, that he was being truthful when, he now says, he was lying. But now he is lying when he says he is finally being truthful. Typical was Kate Michelman, president of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League. She said; "If he thinks he lied, that’s his problem to deal with. We have not lied". Gloria Feldt, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said Fitzsimmons had been "mixing up gestation with procedure". Whatever the heck that means. While they squabble about who did or didn’t lie, let’s listen to someone else for once - genuine physicians, rather than pro-abortion lobbyists and other non-medical spin experts who seem to get all the invitations to yap on TV. One is Dr. Pamela Smith, former director of medical education in obstetrics and gynaecology at Mt Sinai Hospital. She recently resigned that post to do anti-abortion public-health work in the community and practice medicine at the Lawndale Health Centre. The only thing that surprised her about Fitzsimmons’ confession was that he made it. "Most of the time, there is nothing wrong with the baby or the mother (when late-term abortions are performed)", she said. "People have known about this for a decade. "There is a clinic in New Jersey that said of the 3,000 abortions it did last year, 1,500 were late-term. "So we went from being told that only 200 a year were being done in the entire country to one clinic saying it does 1,500 a year. Obviously, the actual number (of late-term abortions) is in the thousands. "The media believe what they want to believe. And because a lot of doctors who have testified in support of the partial-birth ban have been pro-life, the knee-jerk response is that it is a pro-life pro-choice thing. "There’s been all this propaganda that it is done only because women need it. So people said: ‘If my wife needs to have this to save her life, she should have it’. The problem is that it is not this procedure versus your wife’s life. It’s really infuriating to me to hear that women medically need this". One of the arguments for the late-term procedure is that it helps a woman preserve her fertility. Smith describes that as "fantasy". The future-fertility risk was one of the excuses offered by President Clinton when he vetoed the bill that would have outlawed the procedure. Clinton said: "There are a few hundred women every year who have personally agonising situations, where their children are born or are about to be born with terrible deformities which will cause them to die just before, during or just after childbirth. "And these women, among other things, cannot preserve the ability to have further children unless the enormous size of the baby’s head is reduced before being extracted from their bodies". Which is bunk, according to Dr. Nancy Romer, chairman of obstetrics at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton and a clinical professor at Wright State University. "I don’t understand that argument about fertility at all". she said. "We have no idea what happens to women who have this procedure down the road. We don’t have a clue. There is no scientific evidence that shows that procedure would be preferable over existing techniques. I question why it is not being taught or performed by the majority of people who specialize in these pregnancies." As for the propaganda campaign that led Clinton to veto the bill outlawing the procedure, Romer believes she understands it. "Those who opposed the legislation have a much broader agenda, and that is to have totally unrestricted access to abortion. They will defend abortion rights blindly, regardless of the facts of the matter. Any legislation, if it’s antiabortion, they are against it. "They don’t think ‘Is this procedure appropriate, who is doing it and why are they doing it?’. They don’t care about the details. They won’t acknowledge the truth of what we are saying because it defeats their larger agenda". So the whole battle is going to be fought in Congress one more time. And if a bill passes and gets to Clinton’s desk, maybe he can ask the CIA or the FBI to find out who is telling the truth before he makes any more sombre pronouncements.
