I actually like the progressive tax system (within reason; none of this 70% on the "rich" crap); I hate the waste and abusers, but those tax dollars provide a lot of very important programs for society, and I think we'd lose way too much tax revenue unless that flat tax was pretty high. Instead...

I would start with the obvious. Permanent ban making all Mondays illegal. We'll just have two Sundays instead. After that, national and local infrastructure would be my next highest priority. Next, and this is not a joke, I would pick up where Trump left off in the destruction of the media...

Considering all the social programs that we have available - Section 8, welfare, SNAP, etc., I'd find it hard to believe that two adults cannot figure out a way to support their child. Kids aren't THAT expensive. There are also a lot of single parents who just live at home with mom and dad and...

What is this significant portion of men who are immoral? Is that 1%, 5%, 50%? On what grounds do you make that claim? Are women any more moral than men? How do you know? I consider myself a good person. I may not know you personally, but I my impression is that you are as well. And here we...

I can certainly understand why you make that assumption, but we were anything but amicable. Shit, I have stories to tell on that end, but that's for another thread. The news of her pregnancy came about a month after we split, so we were especially charged up emotionally at the time. Rather than...

It sure does; and also why I stopped flip-flopping on the topic. Once it became real life decisions rather than a discussion piece, everything became blatantly obvious to me. And thanks! My heart is full from the years of raising my son.

For the same reason I talked my ex out of aborting our kid? We had already broken up when we found out she was pregnant. I'm financially, emotionally and otherwise fully capable of raising a child all on my own if need be. And for what it's worth, a few years ago, she thanked me for it. She said...

Thanks, that is actually very insightful. I understand the concern of controlling women (in context of the discussion here). I'm with you guys on that point, I do not like government sticking their noses where it does not belong. But where we part ways is that in the process of trying to protect...

I like your counterpoints that you bring up. Get bogged down into this if you have time for it, because abortion is a topic that I flipped on several times before finally settling on a stance. Iff nothing else, it is giving food for thought to people who haven't yet formed a firm opinion yet.

This is true. And the state of Alabama is shameful.

Your opinion of what is viable is just that, an opinion. I know you claim that somehow my source wasn't impartial, but there is plenty of other scientific resources out there all saying the same thing. Life begins at conception. I'd like to know why the pro-lifers (EDIT: pro-choice, not...

I don't think anyone on either side approves of that. Maybe some far right religious extremists; that's about it.

"living and breathing" is a figure of speech.

The child is a living, breathing human being from the moment of conception. That is not a matter of opinion or debate, that is what science tells us. I'm certainly not putting all the blame on women. I just got done saying "just because the two of them couldn't be bothered to use birth control"...

Yeah, it's only his kid, why should he have a say in whether someone terminates the life of his child? The mother doesn't get to kill a baby just because it's inconvenient, as if she didn't know what happens when you have sex. It's one thing if the pregnancy presents medical concerns to the...

If abortion is going to be allowed, it should be with the mutual consent of the man and woman. Not just the woman.

That's fucking disgusting, pardon my French

I realize that Boykins may get the #3 spot given that we have garbage WRs. But I mean that he's not going to do much of note. And it's not all his fault; having Lamar for a QB isn't doing him any favors either

I love, love LOVE the Jaylon pick, even more so considering the other DL are going to be the ones pulling most of the attention away from him. Outside of Hollywood, was the best pick of our draft. Not even remotely a fan of the Boykins pick; not just because of value and what we gave up, but...
