bleeding heart

Well, then, perhaps there should be incubators at the ready to try and keep these aborted babies alive, since I assume you, as a compassionate person, also believe that, under no circumstances, does anyone have the right to kill a baby without its consent just because its mother wanted it out of her womb before contractions started.

If you're going to raise the question of "a baby's consent"--and it's inherent extrapolation to all children of every age, on any number of subjects..then this is going to turn into quite the discussion.

But, then, we have laws that make it a crime to murder someone or steal, but murders and thefts continue to take place, nonetheless.

But when they are caught, they are punished.

How is this going to work in the other case? No one could ever possibly be caught or punished...so a total waste of time.

Day after day I have to read several posts in a row in the same thread by the same poster.  These people are not using the "Multiquote" button and are spamming the forums.  I'm not sure if it's a tactic in order to inflate their post count or what it is.

No.

Perhaps parents can give teacher's a card saying:

"I would have purchased a gift but I had to pay for a baby-sitter instead since went on that one-day strike"

Very Christmas-sy!

Holding to the position that retail positions aren't "real jobs" is quite elitist and off putting.

I'm inclined to agree. I've heard such remarks, as well as derision and mockery about retail employees, many times, here on MLW, from liberals and conservatives alike. So it's a bipartisan snobbery.

I don't think people really mean it this way, however. I guess since I used to work there, I see the labour force as ordinary, hardworking human beings, rather than as losers and drones.

I'm not normally one to say "in the old days"....but it does seem to me that a generation or two ago, more people had respect for work...regardless of what that work was.

so while people complain about people on social assistance, or folks who aren't looking for work because they can't find a job "suitable for their skills".....I would hope that having a little respect for Walmart employees is in order.



There...preaching done for the day!

walmart is where people work until they can find a real job...

Not only.

And why do you keep insisting it's not a "real job"? I worked there, for a time. It's as real as any other job.
