Lorysa divineseraph yes, and of course THEY can base their arguments on something that COULD happen, but when we do it instantly becomes a "logical fallacy"
They also tell us to take biology after saying the fetus is not human. gonk That's just something to laugh at though. "A fetus isn't human! Geez, take biology!" Don't stress. I've decided that if the only way they can fight is by being dishonest, then we're winning. We just need to keep calm and they'll burn out, they have no fodder to go on.

yes, of course we do. that's how we work, we try to protect the lives of others at the cost of a few months of some women.
jeez, what monsters we are, what with the respecting life and all that...

I'm still mad at her for wanting to kill babies like Holden.

yes of course. because whenever you don't like something, whenever it becomes too hard to deal with, it becomes inhuman, not alive, not real. very... escapist nazi pro choice! that's the word... sorry, got stuck on a few synonyms there, forgot which one i wanted wink

Does anyone know what to do at a wedding shower?
My cousin's getting married. Yeah, all fine and good.
She's having a wedding shower. Meh, kinda nice.
I'm invited. That's okay, I'll follow mom's lead.
Oh wait, mom's sick. And it's looking like she won't be able to go, but someone needs to go to represent our little nest.
Guys aren't allowed to go, and my sister is working.
That leaves the most unsociable person in my family on all sides possible representing us at this thing which makes no sense whatsoever with tons of strangers who I probably should know but don't. Anyone who's ever argued that thing about karma not being real...here's my bite in the butt for always being too bored to pay attention.
It'd be fine if it was all, show up and be nice, but the thing is, my mom's sorta always treated as a second-class citizen there. Her kids (meaning me and my siblings) are always being watched for any tiny imperfection in etiquette because it reflects badly on her. This is why I prefer a good ol' Italian family gathering...they just expect you to eat. Something which I'm wonderful at.
So I'm trying to figure out what to do at a wedding shower, and all these things keep telling me what to buy for someone, so by now I understand the need for blenders, food processors, and monogrammed towels, but I have absolutely no idea how to look, how to act, what to do if an emergency happens, etc. I'm cursing myself right about now for not being more like my sister, who is excellent in social situations and doesn't do the me thing, which is hide in the back of the room and eat quietly so no one notices I'm there.

Bring a gift with a gift reciept in case they wanna return it. First before you do that find out if there registered any where and if they are go there print out there list and get something from the list. Easiest thing to do for the gift portion. As for what to wear I would just wear every day clothes. Your not going there to impress anyone and if they dont like what you wear... screw them. Say hi to a few people and make sure they know your there. As for conversation... well I am not sure what to say on that part because I dont like situations like that....

meh, i'd just not go, honestly... i mean, it seems to me like you're being set up as a representative... they shouldn't need a peace treaty for you to still be biologically connected...
maybe i'm just reclusive... when i get married, i'd like a small, private wedding, none of the old farts getting drunk and hitting on my cousins, no small children flinging food and screaming, being bored... no wierdo family members i don't remember, just me, my wife, a few close friends and parents.

Clothes can be tricky at this kind of thing. It depends on how formal the situatin is. I know for some wedding showers it's hats and coats(yes we are in the 1800's apparantly)
I would say wear something that yo9u would wear to church iand depending on the season wear the "right" colors. That way you will blend in with everyone and it won't be too big a deal.
As for being a representative of the family, that does suck. My mother in law sounds skort of like your mom-with the whole family judging her. I say just go in, be sweet, follow everyone else's lead and then leave as soon as possible.

Nothing much really. People bring wedding gifts and play games,eat,ect....I find them boring.

Thanks. Okay. Mom's going to find out if she's registered as soon as she can.
I would skip out if I could, but my dad (my only transportation) is going to be golfing with the guys. And I don't think the taxi fare from NY to MD is all that cheap.
I'm used to family gatherings, with tons and tons of people. I'm just not used to only knowing the hostess. If I don't go, it'll be poor form, which won't just reflect badly on me, but on my mother. If it was just about my pride, I'd skip. She's so upset lately though, I guess life around here is kinda coming apart at the edges for her and I just don't want anything else in her life going wrong.

Seems like we can't be pro-child or pro-woman because we're pro-life.
I think I'll go out and beat some babies, then end the day with shoving some pregnant women into a flaming pit and going I HATE YOU BECAUSE YOU HAD SEX!
I mean, that's what I'm supposed to do, right? I'm supposed to be anti-woman since I'm pro-life.
I also want millions of children miserable for being born because knowing that there will be people born into this world who will be unhappy, I still oppose abortion, when in fact if I want to be pro-child, I should demand that every child be aborted since even wanted children can (and frequently do) end up miserable. Let's kill all the ones who are and will continue to be happy just because there are some people out there who hate life. I mean ALL babies need to be aborted now just so I can be pro-child. Otherwise, there will be people born who will be miserable.
And to be pro-woman, I need to support treating women like sex toys and shoving them off to clinics instead of helping them with their problems that make them feel like they NEED to abort and it's the ONLY option. If I want to be pro-woman, I need to do the easiest thing for ME even if it hurts THEM and they don't really WANT it, they just feel like they have no option.
So in order to be pro-child and pro-woman, I need to be for killing babies, and against helping women. Where do I sign up to be prochoice? Or should I cave in and start calling it anti-life just to sound cool?

i also hear that women have about 1/3 chance of being raped in america...
rape isn't very fun, or so i hear, perhaps you should kill all women to, so then they never have to deal with the horrors of rape! you'll be doing them a favor!!!
