What book are you reading?

The left wish to have government control people when we are all watching the right joining force with the rapists to force women no matter what to bring fetuses to full term even if the father of the fetus happen to be the woman father for example.

Can not off hand think of a more outrages use of government power then controlling a woman womb again her wishes.

 

"we are all watching the right joining force with the rapists..."

Not only off topic, but crazy.

 

Thanks for that. The title alone has tempted me to order a copy.
I’ll be interested to see how Spencer treats passages such as Sura 3: V7-11 of the Koran, if he does.
My reading at the moment has me returning after decades to Francis Bacon’s “Advancement of Learning: NovumOrganum: New Atlantis."

 

According to one study (from a left-wing pro-abortion group, no less), only 1% of all pregnancies are the result of rape or incest, so this claim is questionable at best. Second, when a woman or girl has an abortion, some of the evidence of the rape or incest is lost. A child that results from such a crime is clear evidence, and the DNA can tie the perpetrator to the crime in a way nothing else can. Third, "controlling a woman's womb against her wishes" is not the purpose of anti-abortion laws, the purpose of anti-abortion laws is to save the life of the unborn child, something those who support abortion too often conveniently forget. There's not one life at stake in an abortion, there are two. Let's not forget, too, the main purpose of abortion is to let people off the hook... the woman from having to face the consequences of having unprotected pre-marital sex, the man from having to face the consequences of having to support a dependent. And if I might throw one more element into the mix, let's use the left's favorite word, abortion is racist. 75% of the 50 million babies aborted in the US have been black. That's 37 million dead black babies thanks to the left and the pro-abortion lobby. Are you proud of yourself?

 

Just got through reading (Kill me instead) The Good Guy, by Dean Koontz, my favorite writer. Koontz is better than Stephen King, imho.

Has anybody here read any of Koontz's books?

 

\In what way is it crazy?

When I was growing up in the damn 50s there was a family with three girls who I learn decades later have a father that was screwing them.

No pregnancies resulted but in similar events now the right wing wish to used government power to force young girls to carry any such fetuses to full term.

 

You realize this thread is about books you are reading, not your thoughts on incest and a conspiracy theory about the right encouraging it?

 

LOL one state control by the right wing after another passing laws that would force pregnant incest victims of any age to not have an abortion and you calling it a conspiracy theory?

 

Sounds like I was right at post #502. Please divert your craziness to a more appropriate thread.

 

Let’s extend the ‘logic’ of all this to making it a criminal offence for women to indulge in any behavior that might trigger a miscarriage.

 

Not really necessary, women's bodies do that naturally, including difficulty in running and bending and making them sick from drinking alcohol. About the only thing women can do that their bodies don't automatically reject is smoke while pregnant, which does contribute to miscarriages, so if you want to ban pregnant women from smoking, I could get behind that.

 

I haven't, but I don't like thread posts to go ignored. I mostly read nonfiction. When I do read fiction, I usually stick to short stories, especially science fiction and the supernatural, ghost stories and the like, but occasionally crime. I think I have read at least one Dean Koontz short story, but I'll be darned if I can remember the name. I may have read Koontz's Life is Good, a nonfiction book about learning life lessons from a dog, but my reaction to that (if it's the one I read) was rather negative.

 

thanks for the reply. dean koontz is a mixture of science fiction, the supernatural, ghost stories, crime. it's always good vs evil. there's a little of something for everybody in his novels.

even though the good triumphs over the evil there's usually a lot of blood.

If nothing else Koontz is original and he will keep you up at night turning pages.

Oh yeah, and he loves dogs. They are usually in all of his novels.

 

Who wrote it? Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan?

 

I'm reading "Black Wind" (fiction novel) by Clyde Cussler. After I have read it I will be an expert on biological weaponry.

If you have ever read a Clyde Cussler novel you'll know what I'm saying.

 

Yes.

 

Koontz is my favorite writer.

 

Non-Fiction.. "Rising Star".. written by an academe and it's about Obama.. around a thousand pages.

 

I’m reading a book that’s as on my shelf for years unread - lots do.
“Weary” The Life of Sir Edward Dunlop” by Suw Ebury.
I suspect the section on Dunlop’s early childhood may be romanticised a little but the prisoner of war period is relayed with a brutal reality.
From the dust jacket :-

Australians proclaimed Sir Edward ‘Weary’. Dunlop a national hero, much honoured and greatly loved, when he died in July 1993.

A brilliant student and sportsman, qualifying as a pharmacist and surgeon and representing Australian at rugby,Weary turned his back one a surgical career and volunteered immediately war broke out in 1939. He joined the 2nd AIF and served in Palestine, Greece, Crete, Tobruk and Egypt before sailing to Java with his medical unit in 1942.

Captured by the Japanese, he spent more than three years as a prisoner of war in Java and on the notorious Burma - Thailand ‘Death Railway’. His care for the men under his command and his defiance of his captors in the face of brutality, starvation and death, made him a legend in his lifetime.


Returning to Australia in 1945, Weary dedicated his life to caring for former prisoners of war. A pioneering cancer surgeon, he built strong relationships between Australia and her Asian neighbours. His life-long commitment to community service fulfilled a vow he made in captivity that he would never refuse any request his country made of him.

Next on my reading list is a biography of Vivian Bullwinkle an Australian war time nurse also captured by the Japanese.

 

All this has had me thinking about Trump’s nasty attitude to McCain.

 

This thread has been around for quite a while, but it's only recently that people have come in trying to pull it off topic. I'm sure there are plenty of Trump-McCain threads to troll in.

 

Just finishing Gregg Jarret's "the Russia Hoax:the illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump".. I tho't I already knew all of the facts.. I was wrong... I merely knew most of the facts. Nonetheless.. it is shocking the ethics and laws broken by the deep state (my term, not Jarret's)
and excerpt from the epilogue I think fits well on this forum.

"
The people who should read this book, probably won’t. Democrats, the liberal media, and the legion of Trump-haters have convinced themselves that his election was misbegotten. But they are intellectually dishonest in believing that the president must have committed some crime in connection with Russia. Most have never bothered to examine the facts or consult a statute. Their confidence in “collusion” is bereft of proof. They accept it as a matter of faith driven by their own bias, and teased by hope out of ignorance.
Jarrett, Gregg. The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump (p. 285). HarperCollins. Kindle Edition. "

 

Still working on "Rising Star" and it is well researched and annotated. It dispels any belief I might of have as to where Obama was born.

It has also reinforced my opinion (in fact states it outright) that you can not think of Obama as "black" but .. as the book put it.. he was more "Hawaiian" than anything. He really had little to no connection with "black American culture" until he started to 'learn it" in college.

 

Trolls are gonna troll.

 

This book is a little sucky. The book was co-written by cussler's son who calls himself "Dirk Pitt". That should tell you something.

Dirk Pitt is the hero.
He is followed for a week by some nefarious characters who have a contract for a hit on him. What does Pitt do about this? Nada.

He drives around, unarmed, in a 58 Chrysler while he being followed. He knows he's being followed.

Finally, when they try to kill him he escapes by driving his bullet-ridden flaming Chrysler
off of a ramp onto a departing ferry boat.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
