IMO it deleteriously effects the conditioned memory that most people receive as a "gift" from public education/industrial employment, not organic memory, as it were.

Running a D7, flying an airplane, performing surgery, those are all unnatural industrial activities. If you are saying smoking pot is incompatible with being a useful industrial automaton, perhaps you are correct. Some people may love individual nervous system experience more than they love being a good little cog.



Well, perhaps you are a good little performer, and, if such is so, is that not sufficient reward for you, if being a performer is so great?



That is, insofar as is compatible with being a doubleplusgood drone? And if you like it, that's fine. But if you really like it, your like of it should be enough, and you wouldn't insult others for their not workng as you do; if anything, you'd be glad, as it'd give you more of what you like, industrial work!

And if you don't like industrial work, why slag someone who has at least partially extricated himself therefrom?

Then show me a communist country who`s economy improved under strictly Marxist Socialist collectivism? You can not use China as an example; it no longer applies communist economic practices; having adopted Western style free market capitalism with an entirely different approach to world markets, nobody can say that Maoist communism has any influence whatsoever on China`s economic growth.

"And who judges the health reasons?"

The woman who risks her life to give birth.





"Would you agree to a supervisory tribunal that adjudicated contested abortions, or are "health reasons" not subject to review?"

Would you agree to a supervisory tribunal to oversee your sex or drug choices? Would it work if it were imposed upon you? Pregnant women are not livestock - ultimately it is their own lives that are most affected. If safer methods are not available women will seek out less safe methods - tribunal or not.

The prohibition or "regulated by others approval system" on abortions will work just as well as sex or drug regulations. It is up to the individual - and until the baby reaches an age where it can survive outside of the mother it is BY DEFINITION part of that woman - thus part of that "individual".




"I am betting you'd allow the woman to decide what constitutes a sufficient "health reason""

And I'm betting you'd want women to be treated as livestock and bred properly by the elites.






"If it her only her choice insofar as she chooses based on "health reasons", it is not her choice; the choice is then planted in whatever structure determined whether or not a reason is a "health reason.""

I didn't say it should be her only choice - I said "health reasons" was the example cited and the example ignored.

I think women should have the right to have an abortion for other reasons too. Being too poor, not having a partner, rape, incest, being too mentally unstable, not wanting a baby at this stage of her life ... all sorts of reasons.

I also think condoms and the morning after pill should be covered under our health-care system so abortions will be minimized.




"who is she to say that her life is worth more than that of the baby in her womb?"

She is to say. I suppose if the baby in her womb is nothing but a baby making device for men then it depends if her baby is an autonomous male or a livestock female.

I find it funny that the people who go on about the world having too many people are the same people who want to turn women into baby machines.




"Ultimately, abortion, even for health reasons is rooted in selfishness..."

So don't have any and don't pay for any. If you feel strongly enough about them hand out condoms. But don't pretend that you can ever have that much control over women.

Abortion.......come on boys this is a terrorism and war forum!
Re comrade dml going before the supreme clown show- if I had to be in a room with geeks and nerds of that calibre I would have to be baked too I'm sorry to say, it would have to be hash though

"it would have to be hash though ..."

It was:

World Briefing | Americas: Canada: High Court
Published: Thursday, May 8, 2003

An activist seeking the overturn of Canada's marijuana law said he smoked hashish and marijuana before arguing his case in the Supreme Court. ''I took a couple hits off some bubble hash and a little bit of cannabis,'' David Malmo-Levine told reporters after delivering a 40-minute monologue to the nine justices. ''I was happy, hungry and relaxed, but I was not impaired.'' The justices declined to question Mr. Malmo-Levine despite his pleas to ''hammer away.'' He argued that a preference for marijuana is a ''substance orientation'' and that just as the court had created a prohibition against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, he should receive similar protection. ''For the vast section of people all over the world who have an innate feeling deep down inside they should have a right to self-medicate and control their own minds, you'll be heroes,'' he told the court.

"it boosts creativity and mental enlightenment but impairs motor skills and memory..try running a D7 after smoking pot or flying a plane or performing surgery...i guess its fine though if a person loafs a lot or doesnt carry a lot of responsibilty in their life or doesnt have to perform on any type of skill level..."

Big deal. would you be retarded enough to boast about it; especially if you lost your case because it was irrelevant?

"Big deal. would you be retarded enough to boast about it;"

I was demonstrating that cannabis makes regular users "relaxed, hungry and happy but not impaired" - it was a great victory to see that spelled out for people who read the New York Times ... which is basically the whole world.




"... especially if you lost your case because it was irrelevant?"

I lost because the Supreme Court cheated. Four times I challenged them to find the flaw in my argument and four times they declined. They refused to discuss their doubts in an arena where someone could point out the obvious flaws. They had no confidence in their reasoning.

It exposed the fatal flaw in the Justice system ... it relies upon accepting that the Supreme Court does not have to answer to the appellant, and that they can protect their doubts from a rational critique - this runs counter to natural justice, as more and more law students are noticing (my case is taught in first year law).

I'm about to go talk to my second classroom of law students (the first one was in Ottawa in 2005) so it's turning into a great educational experience for me and the up-and-coming lawyers of Canada.

I would never want to go near that place or any other court for that matter, fuck I work and like to have fun in my spare time so there is no time for that kind of bullshit. Also I would yell "NERDS" as loud as I could if I ever had to go there so best I dont.
Last time I checked the supreme court was stacked with birkenstock wearing, latte` sipping, bike riding, granola crunching, thug hugging, CBC listening lefty fruitcakes so I wonder how he even lost. His case must have been pretty fucked

and then went on to lose your case...



you lost because you failed to convince them of your argument...which is...you can litigate while being stoned...

apparently you cant...
