Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Weird? Maybe just a little bit! Nah. Though, I would advise against going to TvTropes. There's an entire thread dedicated to it on SA, that shows off just how creepy the place is. Well. Not the front page, Wiki type thing, which I admit to having wasted days of my life looking at, more like the...

    Pffft! Socrates was all 'guys, y'all can kill me if you want, but I'm speaking the truth!'. He was basically, like, the Greek William Wallace in a not-like-a-Greek-William-Wallace-At-All kind of way. And I agree with you about LaVeyanism. It is pretty dumb and shallow in regards to Satanism...

    Abortion

    I agree with you, totally (apart from the analogy at the end). It's her body, and I have no right to force her one way or another. But that's why I'm so conflicted. Okay, to you this may just be a foetus, but to me it's my baby. It's my child. It has about as much value as a newborn, to me. And...

    Nah, I've finished my exams now, but thanks for the offer. On the plus-side, no more essays! And okay, Plato. Never liked him. No idea why. Socrates was a badass motherfucker, though. Anywho, I don't buy into this, but I don't judge. Hell, I spent a Summer as a LaVayan Satanist, once. Not that...

    Okay, I get the first two (and dammit, if I'd had you to explain pragmatism to me, I might have known what it meant for my philosophy exam!), but by the third bit, you're saying that... The universe is God/a god? As in, we're living in God's... Brain? Imagination? Body? Sorry if I'm summarising...

    Abortion

    Thanks. :) I don't understand what you mean by this. Are you saying that I don't have rights to a family? I've always felt that was the most important right. You have the right to an education, the right to free speech yadda yadda, and a lot of HRA can be debated, but I always thought the...

    I have to ask, and please please please don't take it in an offensive way, but what the hell does Pragmatic Humanitarian Spinozist/Secular Panentheist mean? I'm really curious, but hate using wikipedia. Is it... Someone who thinks that people come first, believes that whatever can help the most...

    Abortion

    No no, don't apologise. It was nice of you, but I've already made up my mind in regards to what I myself want. No amount of advice'll change that, so it's pointless to try. :) Well I mean yeah, I'm not going to pressure her or anything, but I still have rights. Or at least, I should. If nothing...

    Abortion

    Using that logic, everybody everywhere should always have an abortion. Hell, it should be mandatory. If you don't look at what it becomes, and if you don't look at the emotions, then all pregnancy is is an unnecessary risk that should be banned. I mean, if our government's allowed to protect us...

    Abortion

    Can I just say that I'm not looking for advice on what to do? I've made up my mind in regards to the fact that I don't want her to have an abortion. What I'm trying to figure out is to how much of an extent I should express my opinion. And let me just say this, to: She's considering an abortion...

    Abortion

    Well, no, I mean the only reason abortion can be moral is if no one wants the child. I'm pro-choice, and I don't think the foetus is a child, however that doesn't matter. See, if the parents want to have it, it's their child. It may not be human, yet. It may not be a thinking entity, but it's...

    Abortion

    So I have a question. Where does the father come into abortion? As in, to what extend should the father of the foetus have input into whether or not an abortion can take place? Because I have no answer to this. At all. I have tons of arguments, but no conclusions. I mean, on the one hand, a...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    Earlier you said that democracy consists of a bunch of mean old 'bullies'. Now you're saying that democracy is totally repesentative of what's good and right. So do you only agree with 'bullying' people you don't agree with? Or if the government goes against your views in some way, is it...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    In Britain, any discrimination against a minority based on their status as a minority is illegal. Which would be all well and good, if that didn't include name-calling. The funny thing is, as long as somebody reports 'hate-speech', you'll get, at the least, a fine. Which is bad when my best mate...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    I'm still a little fuzzy as to why institutionalized racism came up when we were talking about matters that occur, you know, outside of the institution. I mean, no one's suggesting that governments start using words like 'faggot' or 'nigger', but then again, I wouldn't want them using words like...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    I figured that the point of contention is that 'colour' implies that white is the default.

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    I'd just like to apologise for some of the things I said, recognise privilege etc. On the other hand, I still find the concept of 'banning' words to be hilarious. Also, I can see how 'coloured people' can be considered offensive, but 'people of colour' would be equally offensive, so that...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    The problem with that first second link is that it operates on the premise that I literally cannot understand what it's on about. It's basically saying 'there's this thing, and you can never see it, and you can never understand it, and you wouldn't know about it if I hadn't told you about it but...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    The only way I can understand that is if I assume your argument is 'if you [white people] used the word to oppress people, and use it now, you [Saith] are still oppressing people by using it.' If that is what you're saying then yeah, no, I'm not 'white people'. There's a bunch of things you can...
