Write in proper English.

Break-ups suck. There's usually no way around that.

Time and living your life will make things better and hopefully you'll find someone who's a better fit for you.

People, despite their stance on the matter, who constently over-look, de-value or give no rights to men when it comes to abortion.

I'm not interested in the whole - Pro-Life/Pro-Choice thing right now - what I want to know is whether guys want a say in whether their unborn child is aborted or if they are happy not to have a say?

I am sick of hearing about Women's Rights - when do we ever hear about Men's Rights???

[Adjutant Stormy~]

The answer there is you're a man (and probably white, to boot) so you have no rights according the the laws of 21st century man.

We got over not having a say in anything women do 50 years ago. Let them agonize over it.

Oooh, my pet non-liberal politics stand. We all have one. This is mine... it's a fucking mine-field for men though, Loki. It's way too easy to tell a man who cares about this that he doesn't respect women and their bodies than it is to actually discuss the issue.

What's messing with my groove is all the people on this forum who think I'm a guy!!!!


I HAVE BREASTS, PEOPLE!!! And they are a part of a matching set


@HD I guess I just really hate the whole double-standard when it comes to 'rights' - seems if they are for women or a minority group then they are important, but when it comes to men they aren't considered or are outright dismissed.

I think it is something the man and the woman should have a say in barring special circumstances.


My groove is messed with by STUPID PEOPLE WHO DON'T FILL IN SIMPLE FORMS PROPERLY

[HoosierDaddy]

Hmmm, maybe I'll make a discussion thread about it. The jurisprudence that would be required to pull off that balancing act between individual rights is... nearly unfathomable.

Amen, sister!


Now my mood is messed by my 9th grade teacher (sure, it was years ago but hey, I can hold a grudge if I want to)


According to my 9th grade teacher I am a disgraced to independant women the world over because when she asked the class wht they wanted to be when they grew up I was the only girl to say that I wanted to get married and be a full-time mum. Apparently, the feminist movement wasn't about equal rights and the right for women to be whatever they wanted to be, oh no, the feminist movement was only for women who WANTED a career. God forbid a woman CHOOSE not to have a career - witch, they'd say. Witch!

A true feminist will tell you men have no say in the matter.

I think this sucks, I would be upset if some girl aborted my baby without even telling me. I understand that it's her baby and she's the one who has to carry it and all that, but damn, that's my offspring.

DB topic?

[Centzon Totochtin]

Loki - that is aweful!!! No teacher should ever say that!!! what the hell is supposed to be wrong with being a full time mum?!?!?!

[MTS]

Look, trying to put in any law that recgonises both male and female rights in an abortion is a pointless exercise. Like HD said, the jurisprudence required to make a fair law would be ludicrously complicated (if it could ever be done). It's all down to the individual circumstance. If the man wants a say, then he should have a say. If he doesn't, well, that's his prerogative. The only thing that needs to happen is for women to recognise that the male can and should have a say in an abortive situation if he wants to. That's the only issue.

Also, Loki's year 9 teacher is the witch. She's committing a sin against God by not raising a family and procreating. Thus, witch.

In an unrelated note, my computer is making strange noises.

Why on earth are you using a Slovakian airline company?

Do you like travelling with livestock and gypsies?

have your significant other recently set up a large life insurance in your name?

Well, to set this straight - I've been flying with SkyEurope pretty often in the past 2 years, and I was a very satisfied customers. They manage to combine extremely low prices with pretty good service (probably the reason they're bankrupt now... )

Their service is way above the level of certain other budget airlines ("Dear passengers, welcome on board of Cheap Air. If you are ready for the take-off, start flapping your hands... now.") and their prices are hundreds and hundreds of Euros below the level of some flag carriers (Me: WOT?!? How come I pay for a 2 hour flight from [insert a West European city here] to [insert an East European city here] for the same price that would take me to Japan and back?!? Them: Well, it's because we hold monopoly on these flight routes and enjoy benefits of protectionist policies and thus can demand whatever we like. And besides, with us you get better service. Me: WOT?!? The only thing I get extra on this flight is a cookie!!! Them: Well, but it's a damn good cookie! So shut up and eat you 400 Euro cookie!) And I mean this regardless of the home countries of these airlines (both the budget and the regular ones, and both West and East European ones).

The second point - why a Slovak airline? - is that due to proximity between Bratislava and Vienna, the Bratislava Airport has meanwhile practically become Vienna's second international airport. It is just 20 minutes more from where I live to the Bratislava Airport than to Vienna Airport (it takes me a bit over an hour to get to Bratislava by bus) and it has partially much better connections to smaller airports than Vienna does (e.g. direct flights to Manchester are possible only from Bratislava).

I'm flying pretty regularly with other airlines as well - AUA, Ryan Air, Easy Jet, Croatian Airlines, Lufthansa etc... and up to now apart from having to endure some painful "Babies on the Plane" horror episodes (for which the airlines can't really be blamed) I had pretty good experiences with all of them. But when it comes to friendly customer service, convenient flight times and flight routes and prices a travelling-freak like me can afford, I must say I'm a big fan of SkyEurope.

And livestock I have encountered only on some East European local busses... But it wasn't so bad... they were more civilized and polite passengers than some humans are...

BUT: I'm still sitting on my booked tickets without knowing how things will develop... And I'm not so much pissed off because of the money I might lose (although that WOULD hurt my purse badly) but - I WANT TO GO ON MY WELL DESERVED VACATION!!!

@ Dag - Weird I thought you lived in Japan. Or somewhere around there.

@ About that abortion business - When it somehow becomes possible for men to give birth we should have a say in whether or not a woman has to go through with a pregnancy. Otherwise, no, no no no. Go give a deposit in the local sperm bank if your biological clock is ticking.

How would you feel about having to carry around a watermelon on your stomach for months without end, enjoy tons of hormonal and physical annoyance and then finish the whole business off by squeezing something the size of frozen chicken out of your ass, even though you didn't want the little bastard in the first place?

School teacher needs to buy a dictionary.

Messing with my groove is that I am too tired to move because I stayed up until stupid o'clock last night watching a movie with Madonna and Rupert Everett (they were in the movie...not at my house watching it...I think)! Quite possibly the most awful film I have ever seen but I couldn't turn it off.... I am psychologically scarred.

That should have read like this: a "true" feminist

Funny thing....my printer was making strange noises. I thought I heard the sounds of waves and trees rustling in the wind.

Groove is messed because I have to do a re-test tommorow-when I could be relaxing with a night-off.

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

So, I needed new contacts. I get one free eye exam per year, so off to the doctor I went. During the course of the exam, she noticed that I have an occlusion of my retinal vein. Didn't treat it, just saw it. Turns out that is enough to turn the visit from an eye exam to a clinical visit, so since this was my first visit to the doctor this year I had to pay my 200$ copay. My follow up visit is totally covered, since I payed my annual copay now, but that was 200$ I did not have.

Oh, and I might go blind in one eye.

Money messes with my groove:(

Since I'm losing/quitting my job tomorrow I'll go from earning 17K NOK a month (after taxes, before taxes it's 26K) to just 6K NOK a month, and that's not even money I can "keep", I have to pay it back because it's a student loan which I'm taking up since I'm going back to school since no one will hire me. Which brings my total student loan up 298 852 NOK.


Jeez.
