    so you want to be a ward of the state and have the government decide those personal things for you?

    I think the last 4 years shows that bad leaders like Trump can do lots of harm

    but I think were getting off topic

    this is about the fake white privilege racial slur being used against white people

    In what way is pregnancy personal for me? I fathered two lovely daughters and am the step dad to 8 more children. I do not believe any of the women had abortions. Which is what you focused on. My first wife had one. She and the last wife are dead.

    Trump did not harm America.
    I agree that white privilege is used as a slur against white people as you made clear.

    This choice you allege I made, as opposed to my first wife making, produced one death. I sure oppose humans killing humans.

    My last wife vanished at the Pacific Ocean at Hawaii. Do you support her choice to kill herself?

    I support death with dignity laws

    she made a choice, doesn't matter if I agree with it (I know nothing about your wife, so can't say)

    I do not think we should imprison people for attempted murder over a suicide attempt though - I do not think it's the same thing

    You have a colorful way of approving suicide.

    We had been divorced for ages. She was a good swimmer and enjoyed going to the ocean. She vanished. She did not explain a thing to anybody. As our divorce was many years earlier, I can't say I knew her at all. She was never discussing killing herself when we were married.

    this is a case that always bothered me, she was dying and it was painful and would only get worse, she wanted death with dignity, should she have been forced to suffer as the cancer got worse and worse?

    now imagine, she could live if you permanently hooked your bodies blood supply to hers, should it be a crime for you not to support her? murder if you try to disconnect from her? should you be forced to risk your life and limb to keep her alive?


    but we are way off topic

    It has been off topic for a long time now.

    I'm talking about replacing public schools entirely. I oppose vouchers parents have to supplement with money poor families don't have.

    In my experience, vouchers are the only chance poor kids have to get away from a public school system that denies them a decent education.

    What are you talking about--taking children to church in order to convince them God exists? Most parents of my students were not inclined to have a school teacher discussing whether or not God exists.

    My history classes regularly had a mixtures of Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, agnostics, atheists, and nonbelievers. We discussed what people believed (and believe), not whether or not they should or shouldn't have believed as they did. I don't think it's reasonable or ethical to hold such discussions in a history class.

    I don’t like suicide. I think it’s always a selfish decision. With that being said, sometimes circumstances truly dictate that selfish decision to be a necessity such as in the woman’s case above.
