Dammit, I wanted to be the one who pointed out the "Thumb" hoax!

One of Grant's favourite bands is "R.E.M" . I guess noone told him about Michael Stipe. I heard he's always trying to steal one's lunch...

Also from Grant Dexter's bebo (I do not jest):
Poetry.
Roses are red,
Violets are bluish,
If it wasn't for Paul,
We'd all be Jewish!There are no words.

Thanks Susan, for adding another voice of reason.
Also, you might be interested to know that having an abortion in New Zealand costs nothing.
I guess there might be costs related to taking time off work, etc, but as soon as it is established that you are pregnant, all consultations and the termination itself are free government-funded healthcare. (Now that'll REALLY piss these buggers off). Only if you have a termination after 12 weeks is there a fee attached.
I'm an under-30 (just!) feminist, but I know my history.
I know about S.O.S, I know what's at stake.
Don't think us young biddies aren't grateful! -
Women have been ending unwanted pregnancies for millennia. I don't mean to sound flippant, I'm just stating a fact.
Sometimes their methods worked well; the women didn't die or become infertile.Other times they didn't end well.
If you want to take away the legal rights of women to choose whether or not they can end a pregnancy safely, you will force your daughters, sisters, friends, coworkers and lovers to risk infection, infertility or death.
How about trusting women to know what is right and best for them and their bodies?
You may not approve of abortion. You may even think abortionists and their clients are murderers. That is your right.
But don't try to say this is an "essential human concern that we all share", because it won't be you hemorrhaging on a motel floor.

I probably should have made the full disclosure that my 2-person household (based in the centre of the big little city) became carless when we moved into the Urban Jungle.
I now ride a bike and love it. I haven't even been run over yet! -
How about the idea that I don't have to donate a kidney to anyone, even if my lack of donation may mean that person dies?
By the same logic, I don't have to allow a potential human to occupy my uterus.
Even if that means terminating a pregnancy.
You are allowed to not like that.
If you don't like that, I suggest you don't have an abortion.Oh dear, I've just entered the fray.
I reserve the right to not respond to posters who don't accept my personhood as trumping that of a potential person.Shorter me: what Danielle said. And word, Deborah.
Also, Kyle, girls don't usually like it when you compare them to inanimate bodies of water. Just a heads up ;)

Touche, Paul Campbell.
Amazingly, A S, there are more than two kinds of cars to choose from. The opposite of a late-model SUV is not necessarily a badly tuned polluting pile of crap.
SUV's make the roads more dangerous for everyone.
You can't see around them, they are so wide they make passing very scary, and anecdotally, they seem to give their drivers a misguided belief they own the road.No Sir, I don't like'm.

I often wonder about SUV drivers.
Are they all so out of touch that they don't know how other road users feel about them?
So arrogant they just don't care?
Will somebody please explain? -
Exacatamundo, Danielle (as they say on the Continent).
