sybex Shark Reinna Astarel Y'know what? There are 'Right to Life' clubs scattered across schools. Are there any 'Right to Choice' Clubs? I would start one, but I already have a reputation for hating stupid people. They'll get the wrong impression.

I have helped spread our message in the "real world" today.
I became involved in a debate over abortion at the local county fair. I will state that I did not have any intention of doing so when I first arrived; however, the situation presented itself and I snatched it.
The events leading up to it were as follows:
1. A woman and a man walked up to my sister and I insisting that we read some pro-life literature in their presence (being that it was a slow time, they clearly wanted something to do).
2. I, as politely as possible, stated that I was not at all interested -- they, as "politely as possible, attempted to bully my sister and I into staying and even resorted to emotional pleas that included, "Don't you care enough about the babies to take five minutes out of your day to read a short pamphlet?
3. I am a little miffed at this point and, quite frankly, spelled out that I was pro-choice.
4. From this point on the conversation escalated into an open debate that drew the attention of many. It was quite invigorating -- I highly recommend that, if given such an opportunity, you to do the same. I received quite a few "boo's" from pro-life advocates; however, I also received many cheers from my fellow pro-choicers and one even bought me a malt. 3nodding
As far as the conversation itself, the people, for the most part, were quite respectful; however, they had the "edge" because they were able to pull up a host of pamphlets citing their arguments as "fact." They also tried to pull rank due to the fact that both were middle-aged and I look like I am about fourteen years old to a great number of people.
I did my best and I hope that I did cause some fence-sitters to really consider our side of the debate.

I would start one, but I already have a reputation for hating stupid people. They'll get the wrong impression. I know what you mean. I'd love to start a club like that. But seeing as I'm going to a new school and I already don't have a favorable reputation among several of the people who already do know me, it might not be the best idea.

Reinna Astarel Enya, I think I love you. Marry me? whee btw, what's a malt? sweatdrop *Squee* Thanks for the support, everyone. Oh, and a malt is comparable to a milkshake; however, a malt differs in that it contains malt powder -- milkshakes do not. I prefer malts because they are thicker and have a richer taste. [/random and totally useless knowledge]

I always wanted to start a Fellowship of Pastafarian Athletes (in comparison to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes), but I figure everyone would try to kill me. And I'm not an athlete, so I'd have to kick myself out, but that's beside the point. I mean, the FCA meetings are essentially pizza and sports. That's it! Why don't us Pastafarian and other religious groups get pizza?

Page seventy-two, "...so the Lord FSM commanded the midget, saying, "here's an idea... why don't you collect the semolina, rice, and what-have-you, and make pasta in my image. That's what it's there for. And fill your mouth with it and be quiet and peaceful."
Maybe a not-Christian club? With any luck, you would get ten members.
