Welcome to Gaia! ::

no problem!! anytime.

also remember that your pheremones are secreted through sweat. *rolls eyes* specifically from your apocrine glands. and they are found in your armpits and in your groin to butt areas.

LOL just keep in mind that you got to find the right cologne for you. Some might smell good when sprayed but once it mixes with your own natural smell it might smell aweful. so just keep trying until you find one that works for you. smile

*snickerfit b/c cologne is made from sweat* sorry I find it funny... so if anyone out there has the cashola... they can get cologne made from their own pheremones!!

Nope, never had one. I'm telling you I've been single for twenty years, and guess what? I'm twenty years old! I haven't even been kissed... sweatdrop

Want to be friends? We're basically in the same boat, well sorta. Have you felt teh bewbies? XD

I've been kissed,. but I was usually by drunk girls. Which isn't a bad thing if they're just flirting around.... surprised

samsonite, don't ruin my fun! I wanted to think I smelled sexy! biggrin Oddly though, my mom says my natrual scent is enhanced by the colonge I got (Shes the one who bought it, and ironically it works for my dad too, I think) so ya.. biggrin

I am a frequenter of the ED abortion topic, and I am getting sick of the main few responses to "why abortion is bad."

Now, there are people who are against it personally, but don't really think that they should have say over other people's decisions, and I might fall into that category, as I do not think that I would personally want to get an abortion.

But the people that really piss me off are those who really hate abortion, and think it's not right for them, so it shouldn't be right for ANYONE ELSE, even if they die from ectopic pregnancy (when the fetus is in the ovary or fallopian tube developing, and kills the mom as it grows, which kills it too).

There are some people who think that it shouldn't be a method of birth control, but I think that no one does THAT. Because abortion is REALLY expensive, invasive and painful, AND can cause you to become sterile, not to mention being socially frowned upon. If you did it enough times, you'd wreck havoc on your uterus. I don't know very many people who don't learn from their mistakes after one time. And I don't know many people who would say that you should be punished for your mistakes in any other instance. If you break your arm, you don't have to be punished by having to heal it on your own without medical assistance. Hell, if you freaking CHOOSE TO SMOKE and get cancer, you STILL get treatment. It's not like people say "aww, you chose to smoke and knew you'd get cancer, so you have to SUFFER."

And even for those that dont learn from their mistakes and keep getting abortions....well, do you really want those people being forced to breed? Do you think that these people are going to be good parents? Do you think that these people would even be responsible during pregnancy?

I know a lot of women, who if made to stay pregnant, would basically become incubators. Forced to carry children by rape, incest, or a man who decides to knock her up forcably. It gives all the power to the impregnator and none to the impregnated, who is the one who does all the work to grow a new human being. For me, I would say that if you blow your load into a woman, it's nowhere near as hard and taxing on the body as carrying a baby to term. And many men who are not honorable, run off and leave the woman to deal with the assorted maladies associated with pregnancy. Not to mention the prenatal care. And don't forget the cost of childbirth (up to 5000 bucks for a live birth, non cesarian section with insurance). And the cost and effort of raising it.

Many women in lower-end jobs do not get maternity leave, and must get back to work before it is safe for them to do so. They dump their kid in a daycare all day (daycare being expensive and draining on the finances). Mom has to get three jobs, the kid never sees it's mom(or dad) etc. Is that kind of life for both mother and child better than aborting it before it's developed a spinal column or nerve endings? Is it better that a woman nurse her grudge for being forced to give birth to something that she never wanted and that she has to pay for and basically cultivate with her body, time, and life with no other reward than perhaps a crappily drawn christmas card? I say that a child under these circumstances very DAMN well be wanted, because if it's not, you'd probably find an infant like this in a dumpster with a bag tied around it's neck.

So you think that women should be forced to pay for having reproductive organs?
That women should be forced to carry every pregnancy to term, whether she wants it or not?

That every woman should not be given the choice to abort or not, yet she can still be free to drink, do drugs, have unprotected sex and catch HIV, etc while pregnant?

Remember, WANTED pregnancies are the pregnancies where the mom takes care of the fetus while growing.

Instances of dumpsterbabies wrapped in plastic bags, deformed babies from malnutrition during pregnancy, babies with FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome), crack babies, etc, come from women who do not want to be pregnant.

Think about what would happen if women were FORCED to remain pregnant, even if they were not ready, and did not choose to become pregnant.

The instance of the first kind of pregnancy would decrease.
The instance of the second kind of pregnancy would increase exponentionally.

And really, even if abortion became illegal, it would only be illegal for the non-rich. Abortion has always been available for the upper class. Basically, by making it illegal, you're condemning millions of women to incubator-dom and poverty.
They're poor because they don't have options anymore

Next on the agenda, to cut down usage of condoms or birth control. Then the poor begin to breed in insane numbers like in underdeveloped nations. This keeps them ignorant, hungry, and needy. Lowers the education rate and makes it easier for the government to control them. Why do you think that the monarchies of the past relied on millions of poor, illiterate people who had no methods of birth control? Because it's easy to keep someone down when they're already up to their neck in s**t.

It's not about the babies here.

It's not about the unborn

It is about controlling the already born

And using a weak front of "save the babies"

Fun fact: During the time of elective abortions, the "baby" doesn't even look human. It looks about the same as a pig fetus. It's even more similar to a monkey fetus or a chimpanzee fetus.

The second thing people always say when they go on prolife rampages is that it's "punishment" for the woman having sex, but if a baby is so "miraculous" then why is it also a punishment?Why is there no similar punishment for the impregnator?
Simply because he can't carry the fetus? I say bullshit.

The woman carries it, she decides what happens. She can drink or do drugs, so why is that not worse than having an abortion? At least abortion does not leave a thinking, growing, fully viable baby in pain and with a lifelong birthdefect/addiction.

Why are there so many prolifers that will get abortions and still protest it because "I'm special. Everyone else is a slut!"?

I say, that because I have no right to tell someone that they have to donate their kidney, I should also have no right over what they do with a pregnancy, either way.

But I don't want someone taking away MY choice.

I don't want someone to come up to me (if I were pregnant) and say "Oni, I'm going to MAKE you have an abortion because you're not as attractive as Paris Hilton."

I don't want someone to come up to me and say "You can't have an abortion because it kills babies and you were probably just ASKING to be raped!"

I don't want anyone having control over my body except me

Well, I'm hoping you feel better. You know my stance, I know yours and we both know this is quite the touchy subject.

*sigh* Today has not been a good day for the IPG. One of the reasons its been revived, Angyles Cerddoriaeth, has just quit the guild. According to what she has told me, we have too many mods as of late, and that maybe it wasn't a good idea to nominate mods *we have 8* And also, she had issues with the IPG turning into another Teen pregnancy guild (no offense, Nikolita) and she also has issues with some of the new members and their true maturity *she has seen them in another thread and knows them well* Maybe we should change the way we run things or something, but i dunno, right now i feel like i messed up real bad. Perhaps i just need time to clear my mind...

Yeah, you''re right, Vyce, I''ve had a few moments to clear my head, and I''ve determined that even though some may not like it, this is the best way to run things, and we probably should loosen up our membership entrance but it seems to be wielding a great deal of great members. Do you have any suggestions for improvment?

Maybe because Nikolita has lots of stickies? That's the only thing I can see that's similar.

Other than that, I think that the IPG should not become as easy as pie (ie: so easy that people just randomly allow people who request to join in) to get into.

I want members who will post frequently and really be a part of our group. Not just post and runners who say N00b stuff and run off.

So far I am happy with what we have now. I want the IPG not to be limited to just a few elete pervs but I don't really want our members to be so many that we don't have any idea who they are.

That's my personal opinion.
