I've found that online discussions often offer a better window into what people are really like than do in person discussions.

The telling someone to kill themselves thing is the same as resorting to insults - it reveals that the writer is out of logical arguments but is too emotionally invested to admit he's mistaken.

or that the writer is just fed up with someones shit. I would say, the majority of the time it has nothing to do with "logical arguments", just frustration...asshole! :hehe:

Fed up with someones shit so I get to insult them is the same as I can't dispute their argument cause I don't have the knowledge or the skill.

When one is really fed up--go away and do something else.

Indeed. And, to be clear, JOZeldencrust wasn't the only one who engaged in this, Seth was just as guilty.

Not "can't", more like "won't bother". More to do with not bothering to spend hours typing on a forum than "knowledge" or "skill". I've never heard internet forum writing "abilities" referred to as skillful before. :lol:

Planned Parenthood provides most of their services for free or below cost. If they are making loads of money doing that, I'd like to know their business model so I can emulate it.
Offer to kill babies for a small amount of money, and locate your abortion clinic in poor minority neighborhoods, black neighborhoods in particular, and you can make a fucking fortune murdering children, as the PA abortionist did, and as I'm sure many other abortionists are doing right now. Planned Parenthood is hardly the only malefactor in that regard.
We should have more unplanned pregnancies among the poor. That way, then can continue to be poor with huge families that they can barely support.

If a well off woman wants any reproductive health support, she probably has other options already available.

As for the unborn...

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Minor fix there for you.

I know some who have still had abortions in Planned Parenthood clinics; it's not like the clinics are only available in inner cities. Of course, some avoid abortions for various irrational reasons and end up poor and taxpayer supported.
