Does anyone have the blog/article of the pro-life woman who became pro-choice? She talked about how many miscarriages happen and that the pro-life movement didn't spend any money on saving them, and similar issues.

Talking with a college friend and it would come in handy

I think that this might be the one you are thinking of? It touches on that, as well as the fact that banning abortions doesn't actually reduce abortions - the best way to do that is to avoid unwanted pregnancies, which means comprehensive sex ed and access to effective birth control.

Bullseye, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I ended up convincing her that she was actually pro-choice instead of pro-life without it, but I still want it handy in the future too.

muzzle brake, to reduce the recoil on your soft noodle arms so you don't embarassingly hit yourself in the face with your own shotgun in front of the boys

You can get silencers for shotguns, but they're giant and mostly for lamping without waking everyone up rather than tacticool.

Because when someone breaks into your house and you shoot them with a pistol, it bounces off their chest superman-style.

Like someone said before, it's a muzzle brake to reduce/eliminate recoil because the person that bought that shotgun was a loving idiot and bought a pistol-grip-only shotgun with no stock

gradenko_2000: Oct 5, 2010; HELL SERPENT; Lipstick Apathy

quote:

Capitalism, Communism - Let's not get into labels for the mean time and let's look at facts. I'll get to the point later.

Does China allow dissent? Maybe, mostly NO.
Does China allow the FREE practice of religion? They hybridize it. They only allow "state-approved" religions. Meaning, Islam, yes but with a lot of censorship and modifications. Christianity, only if State Approved.
Does China allow people to own private property? Some parts yes, some parts no. Look at the global real estate market, New Zealand, California, Philippines, Australia, UK. Citizens of the PRC are purchasing land outside of their country because that's the only place they're allowed to. Who are these Rich Chinese? Possibly daughters, sons, relatives of hard core politburo.

So my point is, China's political machinery is like the BORG. They assimilate whatever they can. It's foolhardy to play around with labels and it's easier to condense what they do from what they say.

Their aim is global domination Now that they are positioning themselves to assume this role, US and the rest of allied EU is reacting. A third world war may be in our lifetimes.

Their aim is the preservation of their leadership - the more flexible Communist party. Meaning it doesn't really matter what they call themselves. Focus on what they do and why!

Labels are for idealogues, rebels, academics and propagandists. Look at it from the ambit of the exercise of power - and you will see where this is all going.

Some of that is right. A lot of it is wrong. And China is indeed bad.

It's hard when most forms of enjoyable media treat conservatives like the disease that they are. They have to find the like 3 current celebrities who support their lovely beliefs and suck them off every chance they get.
