[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tora Ziyal: [QB] I'm not entirely suprised about all this since we've been seeing signs, but I didn't know you'd gone as far as you have :p . Good job and all, not for coming to agree with us but for coming into your own opinions. Now for the good stuff: Death penalty -- agree for the most part. Not sure about the last sentence. Abortion -- My opinion is slightly different and you touched on it a bit. Basically, I'm pro-choice for the reason that banning abortion will not solve the problem, it will merely force it underground. And what causes abortion is i)the mother's choice and ii)the possibility of social ostracism. The fact that abortion is even a possibility comes from fear of ostracism. I might be making leap here because I haven't the time to explain this step by step, but basically I think to end abortion naturally and completely, society must end its fear of sex (esp. before marriage) and make teen pregancy a thing that requires no forgiveness. Can't or won't do it? Then live with the possibility of abortion as a consequence. Euthanasia -- Basically I think euthanasia is a cop-out and if you're still living it means you have something to sort out in life. But, like a lot of things, a choice you are forced to make or not make gives you little or no learning experience. So legislation has no place in it. Immigration -- As an immigrant myself, I find it very hypocritical to say somebody can't move to this country for its opportunities just because they can't find/don't have the money for a legal way in. Also, I think boundaries are very arbitrary. For example, Mexico used to own California; their ancestors owned the land for generations (and before as Indians). Then the U.S. comes and kicks them out, and if they wanted to come back without following our rules, they're "illegal immigrants" on the land their ancestors lived. It doesn't make sense to me. If we want to stop illegal immigration, we need to help improve their country and therefore make them want to stay in it. I would love to see the world become a unified nation in my lifetime. You might think it impossible, but it's already happening via the Internet (e.g. how do you legislate an Internet law and apply it only to your country? You could do it, but it's difficult to enforcecan end up regulating businesses outside the country). Stranger things have happened. I need to go to bed. I'll talk about the rest tomorrow.
