Oh please, that you'd like a tough boy image is quite apparent, but what you say there is not at all what AC said.
And when did I say anything about AC? Did I single him out? I happen to know alot of people with that mindset. Don't stick your neck out, keep your nose down, all that shit.

You are telling me, that you would walk up on a mugging... and just not help, without any remorse, knowing that the man was either (A) beaten senseless and robbed or (B) killed and robbed... and you had the chance to try and stop it... but didn't.
If there's a chance that sticking my nose where it didn't belong meant that my family would lose me and I'd lose them, then yes. I'd definitely not get involved.

Except maybe the person who was getting mugged.Furthermore, he would also leave a source of pride for the family. The fact that he died doing the right thing, and not letting fear for himself get in the way of what needed to be done. Their son, uncle, father... whatever: A Hero. A source of great pride for the entire family.
My family aren't morons. They'd rather have me alive than have a sense of pride over a dead son.
They're proud of me anyway.
By the way, you haven't answered my question: are you on the adoption list?
Also, RJ, you say "I ain't risking my neck for anyone." is chicken shit, but you said you wouldn't be a firefighter because you don't want to die. Do you remember that?
I don't want to die either. What's wrong with not getting into a situation where you don't want to die?

Fair enough, but that's what people seem to imply in reply to AC.

It's a lose/lose argument. Once people take a stance on such an issue as abortion, it's hard to sway them.
That's generally because the rigid anti-abortionists in this thread have a hard time with facts.
Most of this thread has been consisting of them being more or less wrong, and just ignoring it.

Its kind of hard to prove that an unborn child is not a member of the human race...

No it's not.It's not hard to prove that cells do not equal a human being, that abortion isn't murder, that it's a woman's choice, that it is a necessary right in the world, as of 2008.
People are just idiots.

So...a fetus is not a human being?
[edit] or an embryo- I guess they are separate.

Where exactly do you stand? Because at first you were very much out for yourself and now your leaning towards the betterment of everyone?
