Well, this was fun to read on a Sunday morning. I wish my fingers worked. I typed that last sentence about 6 times...

As far as abortion goes. I say this: develop a well thought out, reasonable explanation for what you believe, and then shut your fucking mouth until you're thrown in that position. Try clinging to the "every life is sacred" creed when you're an unemployed pothead living in your parents' basement, with no education, no savings, and no health insurance. When it comes down to it, what you believe is what you believe, and that's fine. What's not fine is when you run around and try to cram that belief down someone else's throat, especially when you've got no real world experience to base your opinion on. As far as I'm concerned, cacophony would probably write a better abortion law than 99.99% of the legislators in the country, and I would be infinitely satisfied with whatever she came up with. Abortion opinions should be reactive, not proactive. If someone asks you what your opinion on abortion is, feel free to tell them. Otherwise, just keep it to yourself.

And I love how all the straight religious folks, many of whom have fucked up, sham marriages in the first place, suddenly get all bent out of shape about the sanctity of marriage when it's the gays that want to get married. Head's up, all you'se religious types: If your church is against gay marriage, THEY WONT MARRY GAYS!! You're safe. You don't have to worry about Steve and Trenton sitting next to you in church, wondering, as are everyone else in attendance, why your wife has bruises on her arms, and why your children wont look you in the eye. They'll do what reasonable, sensible people do; skip on the pomp and formality, and get married in a courthouse, in a totally non-religious ceremony. If marriage were such a sacrosanct and holy institution, Britney and K-Fed never would have happened. So...before we go around denying basic civil liberties to people simply because they are into their own gender, maybe, just maybe, we could do something about the fact that we, apparently by the example I stated in the previous sentence, allow complete and total morons to get hitched and squirt little fuckup babies all throughout this great nation.

bryantm3, bravo on creating a thread that at least brought back a smidge, or a skosh if you will, of what this forum used to be. You took yer lumps like a man, and when you get into it with cacophony, it's hard not to take lumps.

As an aside, and I know that this portion of our tale should go into the noise section, lots has been going on with me recently. I moved back to Wisconsin, got a job, and just when I thought things were settling down a bit, the fiance and I decided, "Why the fuck don't we just get this whole marriage thing knocked out?" So we decided to do that. Then we decided to combine our newly married status, as well as my status as a veteran, into the fiscal Voltron known as The VA Home Loan. THEN my beautiful bride decided that she'd let one of those "aggregations of non-differentiated cells" implant itself within her uterus, thereby transforming her into some kind of vicious, rabid, land shark.
