He is saying there isn't a lost of responsibility.. that some religious conservatives assume that because there is a shift away from their viewpoint.mormon boy51 wrote:How does that relate to a loss of responsiblity?AkiThePirate wrote:Society isn't losing responsibility, it's just becoming more secular.

So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�

That is true, but my reason to believe there is a loss of responsibility is because of abortion.Goat wrote:He is saying there isn't a lost of responsibility.. that some religious conservatives assume that because there is a shift away from their viewpoint.mormon boy51 wrote:How does that relate to a loss of responsiblity?AkiThePirate wrote:Society isn't losing responsibility, it's just becoming more secular.

I don't consider having an abortion as much of a loss of responsiblity as much as bringing an unwanted child, or a child you can't afford to raise into the world.mormon boy51 wrote:That is true, but my reason to believe there is a loss of responsibility is because of abortion.Goat wrote:He is saying there isn't a lost of responsibility.. that some religious conservatives assume that because there is a shift away from their viewpoint.mormon boy51 wrote:How does that relate to a loss of responsiblity?AkiThePirate wrote:Society isn't losing responsibility, it's just becoming more secular.

I see it as being a loss of responsibility. If you cannot fulfill the requirements of a parent you were not responsible.Goat wrote:I don't consider having an abortion as much of a loss of responsiblity as much as bringing an unwanted child, or a child you can't afford to raise into the world.mormon boy51 wrote:That is true, but my reason to believe there is a loss of responsibility is because of abortion.Goat wrote:He is saying there isn't a lost of responsibility.. that some religious conservatives assume that because there is a shift away from their viewpoint.mormon boy51 wrote:How does that relate to a loss of responsiblity?AkiThePirate wrote:Society isn't losing responsibility, it's just becoming more secular.

Human sexuality is inseparable from anthropology. It is not the job of the immoral private-run corporate media (sexuality as commodity) to teach sexual conduct as is the case for millions of latchkey kids of overworked wage-slave parents.WinePusher wrote:mormon boy51 wrote:Yes and that all makes. Still, how far do we want to take our knowledge of medicine? Wouldn't it be unethical to keep natural selection from taking its course? The same proccess that gave us this knowledge? Is it possible that from our knowledge of medicine and preventing natural selection because of it that we are causing overpopulation on earth? Couldn't this add even more on our already stressed planet?No no no. They're aganist giving public schools the authority to teach sexual procedure or conduct, as that is NOT the job of government run public schools, but rather the job of the Parents, not the school.Goat wrote:Not if we also teach this little thing known as 'RESPONSIBLITIY and BIRTH CONTROL.
The very things that the people who are against stem cell research and abortion are against.
