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"

    • The original post was made by someone else, not the person whose post I was replying to! And the original post only mentioned Whateley Road (which has been clear of leaves whenever I have walked down it) and another unspecified road. My question was directed at CPR Dave, who (as was clear in the post I quoted)  said "The streets round here are a disgrace".
    • We had a delivery from Matoom last week. Sadly, as I had high expectations, especially as it wasn't cheap, I was underwhelmed. To start off with  positives, the corn cake starter was ok, and my partner said his green curry and coconut rice was tasty. I  (unadventurous I know but I wanted to do a direct comparison with Chern Thai) had Pad Thai (with tofu and veg). There was a lot of it, which was good. So much that I had half of it cold for breakfast the next morning. However, it was almost completely noodles, with hardly any veg or tofu. In fact there was so little tofu I don't actually remember eating any.  I do remember thinking that the stirred in egg must be some kind of tofu. I'm wondering now whether they were busy and forgot the tofu altogether! As it didn't come with peanuts (which I knew in advance as they weren't mentioned on the menu) I ordered a peanut sauce (?) separately, though I can no longer see this on the online menu. This didn't really help much taste wise  For comparison, we both had Pad Thai for lunch yesterday (Saturday) at Chern Thai, with gyoza to start. The Pad Thai was fantastic, good sized portions with lots of tofu and several different kinds of  really fresh lightly cooked vegetables.  The gyoza were also excellent, just the right amount of crispiness and with a good amount of dipping sauce. The meal  was also very well priced. I realise it's not very fair to directly compare the price of delivered dishes to dishes from  an eat-in lunch menu, but in terms of overall value it was much better. And the service was lovely. In case our Matoom delivery  was a one off glitch, we will book a table and eat in there, but so far I am disappointed. ETA: Just realised this thread is about BYO. Chern Thai used to be solely BYO, but it now has a full drinks menu with Thai beer on draught and  wine. You can still BYO, but there is a charge. We had jasmine tea, which was very nice.
    • Hi Angelina - whilst I’m not close enough to this decision (as a candidate not a councillor), I would hope there will be public consultation if this situation arises again next year. As a local resident, I will push for this, if I do become a councillor. Hello - I will ask for this to be updated as soon as possible, as I appreciate people will be looking for this info!
