Moos: "A woman finding herself accidentally pregnant is in a very, very difficult situation. "


Actually,I do agree with Moos here.I was really thinking of someone having these views b4 any possible pregnancy.

If they do find themselves pregnant and are aware the Father is not going to be around(far too common from wotless Males these days) I would NOT advocate abortion. So many wonderful Human Beings would never have been born if that was the case.

All they can do is to enforce their own Support System of friends and family etc..

I believe a child needs love, support, encouragement in a stable environment. I don't think that necessarily demands a traditional family - which let's face it is becoming rare nowadays.


It's interesting that many adoption and foster agencies are willing to consider single people. Yes, it's a different scenario but it indicates that it is recognised as a feasible possibility.


As fo it being selfish...haven't we already established having children is an inherently selfish act whatever your situation. And since we are not talking about young girls making the decision, but mature women who plan and make a conscious decision - including recognising the sacrifices and hardships it may involve, then should we be so quick to judge?

I don't think we can say that wanting children is inherently selfish.

Our basic instinct and reason for existence is to reproduce. That's not selfish, it's natural. That's not to say that not wanting children is unnatural, just that as humans our level of reasoning and choice has evolved a little more than other animals.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
