Type your cut contents here.I've been listening to a lot of Talk Radio (specifically CFRB 1010) lately. I don't know why.
Usually the rules of debate are completely ignored, and these people's sense of justice and morals is so flakey that they cannot hold a position for more than 1 argument.
The topic I heard today was on the Carleton University

well said!

I made a rant, and it wasn't a complete argument. I should know better than to make amateurish statements on a post being read by critical thinkers.
Your second paragraph need not be changed. It is perfect.

Secondly, I want to make clear a point that I firmly stand by. This applies to Elliot as well, and I hope he reads this. You can quote me on this, I'll never backdown from this statement.

"There is no contraceptive in this world that guarantees 100% effectiveness.
This means that if you are ready to engage in a sexual relationship with someone, you must be prepared to accept moral responsibility for your actions."

I've said it. I have made a firm resolve to never again engage in casual sex relationships. The next time I have sex, it will be with someone who I am willing to take this risk with.
Having sex runs the risk of pregnancy. If you can't deal with pregnancy for the aforementioned reasons, "financial/emotional/lack of maturity/etc" then you should not be engaging in sexual relation.

Of course, the next argument that will be coming out of Elliot's mouth will be "Are you saying that certain people are allowed to have sex, and others cannot?". Simply put, yes I am.
We can argue social equality, political rights, and economic reforms all we want in our abstract, pretentious, academic world. The fact of the matter is that when human beings engage in sexual activity with a member of the opposite sex, they run the risk of having a child. Our current societal structure tends not to favour unmarried, uneducated couples or individuals with children. This is reality.

We're at an interesting point in history - children are maturing faster biologically, but they're maturing more slowly emotionally and mentally. So the situation we're running into is one where people are physically ready to become parents years before they're emotionally ready to become parents.

I'm not sure I know what the answer to "the abortion question" is, but I know that open, honest debate about it can only be a good thing, and I want to thank you for opening your LJ up to some sober, polite debate about it.

I will reciprocate the feeling by thanking you for engaging with me in a polite and mature manner.
