    Yes I'm sure lol.

    I want what the left used to want true equality for all but with capitalism, free speech, free ideas and diversity of opinion. I will fight for your right to call me a c*** but I will call you a b*****d back lol.

    Now the left only want diversity of genetics as long as you think like them, this I find horrendous.

    I would like universal healthcare in the US just not Obama care which is a joke and 3 times the cost of UK care for 1/2 the care. I have no solutions to US healthcare but neither do either Trump or Democrats increasing generics in the market though as Trump is doing is only a good thing.

    I am prolife (20% aborted in USA) but I believe the solution to reduce abortion is sex ed/contraception not enforcement and prohibition. Also give more options to people who want to keep the baby but feel they cannot for various reasons. So in some ways I'm prochoice too.

    I love South Park and these guys are very close to how I think.

    I hate PC, I think BLM, SJW and feminism are actually fractious and harmful to a diverse society and regressing our society.

    I have never fired a gun but if I lived in the US I would be fighting for my rights to keep one even though I wouldn't have one. I'm very touchy on reduction of rights, those that trade temporary safety for liberty deserve neither.

    Gradually stopped tuning in to it? 'Today' is the BBC's flagship morning politics and current affairs prog, the same as The Eddie Mair Show - once known as 'PM' until he dumbed it down - is the afternoon one.

    Don't you mean 'Eddie Mair Live?' There is no show called The Eddie Mair Show.

    This might be stupid of me, but I can't fill in the blanks in that B word! You must cure my curiosity and give me the missing 5 letters!

    Do the left believe AT ALL in diversity of genetics? I mean besides the different genitalia and that women can give birth but men can't. Well actually, according to the left, men CAN give birth now! So I should qualify that by saying that the left would believe that biological women can give birth but biological men can't - but actually, even then, don't some on the left consider a transsexual person to have actually gone through a biological sex change? Perhaps I should quality it even further and say that the left believe that only women who were born female can give birth but men who were born male can't! Anyway, the point is that I don't think the left have much belief in diversity of genetics besides the basics - and they probably find even the basics uncomfortable!

    What is this statistic?

    The characters or the creators? :roflol:

    Not to mention Antifa.

    Do you actually see it as a trade off? If so, aren't you saying that you think that guns are unsafe?

    That isn't quite what Voltaire said, but I'll allow you poetic licence. Anyway he was only joking.

    Thanks for responding to that part of my post, but given your proven ability to converse, I'm only assuming that you have more responses to come!

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/185286/legal-abortions-per-100-live-births-in-the-us-since-2000/
    Abortion rate it's actually risen slightly in 2015 & 16 and probably spike after Trump won with millennial's getting it in now whilst it's free lol.

    The characters or the creators? :roflol:

    Both, I have always identified with Cartman the most lol ;)

    Not to mention Antifa.

    I prefer not to lol.

    Do you actually see it as a trade off? If so, aren't you saying that you think that guns are unsafe?

    I think the gun debate is complicated I'm glad we don't have guns in the UK but we never had the culture of guns like the US. When they took handguns very few people actually cared. The US has a long of history of guns and tens of millions of people own them and are law abiding. It just goes against my gut to support any sort of ban on guns.

    If you truly took all the guns away the Americans would just stab each other or run each other over, killing each other is a hobby over there but if you ever saw there football you'd understand ;)

    Exactly. It is the gun culture which has been developed over such a long period of time and has resulted in the over 300,000,000 guns in the hands of 100,000,000 people! So the country is simply TOO FAR GONE now with all of the guns 'in the mix' and further gun control isn't likely to change much unless it literally includes banning handguns. And even if a future school shooting is prevented from a gun control measure, just think of how many disarmed people could die from not being able to defend themselves with a gun from the time of the ban until the end of time. Of course school shootings are always difficult as it involves children and it is one consolidated horrific event, so I acknowledge the difference.

    I don't it worked first time for me but not 2nd lol I did get a screen grab
    abortion rate.jpg

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_statistics_in_the_United_States

    It's all here the key is induced abortion rate per 1000, in 2014 it was 186 so 18.6% in the 80's it was over 30%!!

    I'm not crazy nut anti abortion but I think we can get this rate down through sex ed and contraception by at least 1/2! Abortion as birth control is something I feel very uncomfortable about.

    Abortion rates in the unites states is at a record low! I taught sex ed for years in Brooklyn, New York
    Do you really think women consciously use abortion as a form of birth control? If they have one, they’ll never want another one. Cramping and bleeding aren’t fun

    Yes some women do but you're right abortion is at an all time low in the US I however do not live in the US and abortion rates over here are higher.

    I think many women do not, of course but again if they had used some form of protection this would have avoided this situation.

    So let's educate and give out free condoms and whatever birth control is needed to drive the rate to 1/2 that!

    That way we can reduce abortion rate without actually affecting anyone's rights and actually I'm pretty sure most women who had abortions would rather it never happened at all and is a very stressful thing for some people. I'm also sure the longer the term has gone the harder it is.

    I taught sex ed for more than 15 years and it should be taught everywhere .I taught about condoms and birth-control and STDs.
    I think the reason abortion rates are higher where you live is because I’m not there teaching it:)

    If I ever get round to making these I'll use multiple stained woods as inlays to get the effect that it's painted.

    That's even better than the time I got a glow pad/like light pad, for tracing, and studied drawing the human form with pornography I downloaded off the internet and printed then traced then uploaded to my Instagram.
