Pro-Lifers Declare ?Ejaculation Is Murder: Every Sperm Cell Is A Life?


Recommended Posts

Anyone prepared to start a Seinfeld-style admission of 'going solo'?


Perhaps you've been 'hammering the keyboard' 'directing traffic in a sleepy cul-de-sac' or 'gesticulating angrily at an imaginary foe'?


Just realised that by putting '' round a phrase makes it innuenod-ey, so if anyone wants to carry on in that vein then more power to your elbow.


Oh wait, 'carry on in that vein' and 'more power to your elbow'. Now see what I'm getting at?


Anyone else want to throw their hat in the ring?


That is 'throw their hat in the ring'?

I was watching some funkiness on YouTube and reading the comments underneath.


One said:

?I can imagine Shaft pulling up in a Cadillac and jumping out to beat the shit out of someone.? The next comment says ?I can imagine someone pulling up in a Cadillac and jumping out to beat the shit out of his shaft.?

Well it fooled me. I was in America recently and I could believe almost anything, I saw a group of black protestors at the time of the ?Black Lives Mater? demonstrations so I wandered over to read their posters. All they said was ?God hates faggots & lesbians?


Then there is this guy:




PS He wouldn't serve Muslims and was voting for Trump.

I guess for me the problem is that the slogan 'pro-life' rather prejudges what it claims to argue. If this is life then it must count. But we do not and could not count every life as worth preserving, even if human.


We do not, in fact, have much idea about what constitutes life from a biological point of view. Some kind of emergent autopoietic machination? For sure, no ontological difference to green slime, and almost certainly not to sedimented rocks either.


The pro-life move is to purify the sacred human in its entirety. But there is a severe risk here with all the evil that potentially entails from such absolutism. No one here would be extremist, but there is a seductive logic to the ill-educated once the matter is ontologised as everything-human-is-sacred: if you disagree you may turn out less human than us or even anti-human - so there are people who will murder doctors who carry out abortion.

Well, what a thought, I may (depending on my gender) have fathered everyone in the world who is 12 years or so younger than me.


Reminds me of an old joke about a bet, a man and a dog, two wheelbarrows and a naturist beach. Was tempted to tell it as it is not offensive (in terms of against another group) but I am sure I would have been told off.


So, in the old days of bumper stickers there were only two that amused me.


"Retired, spendng children's inherentence"


And


"diver self pleasuring, no hand signals"

    • Definitely that’s part of it  but a) loads of historically popular leaders were chrisms vacuums and b) people can now see where voting for “charismatic” people like Johnson and Trump gets them    
    • When will something be done about safe access to platforms? The overcrowding on the stairs at rush hour is ridiculous with multi trains arriving simultaneously and an inadequate staircase. Yesterday at around 5.30pm there was only room for people to descend, congestion at the bottom from three available exit barriers and a lady fell down the concrete stairs. 
    • The Standard are reporting the rental home as being in East Dulwich. I hadn't realised she was that local.   "Rachel Reeves apologises for London rental rules breach as Tories demand her sacking | The Standard" https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/rachel-reeves-rental-rules-break-east-dulwich-family-home-southwark-council-b1255584.html
    • Thanks ianr. So no mention of either Tesco  or October? So we are no further forward with knowing when the Tesco will actually open? The place seems to have been empty for ages. I would have thought Tesco might have wanted to be up and running in time for Christmas, but maybe that isn't relevant to a relatively small Tesco Express? ETA: The wonders of the space bar, eh? It took me more  time than it should have done to see the difference between the two addresses in your previous post!
