Quote: Up-and-coming generations of South Dakotans will be filled with a shitload of kids coming from 'broken homes' with detached parents, not too mention a few products of rape and incest... nice.
how is this any different from the way things are now in areas where abortions are legal? just because the service is available does not imply that people are going to use it. i'm sure many women have children because they want and will love them, but i'm also sure that many women want children because they'll be able to receive goods and services from the government for cheap if not free.
Quote: And about 14 years from now, a whole new sweep of MySpacers (if that shit is still around) talking about emo, sadness, drinking, and attempting to be happy by consuming lots of material crap... but all the long preventing themselves from being happy... Because they had parents who weren't fit to be parents (as individuals, as a couple... blah blah)
it's called angst. everyone who has ever been a teenager has gone through it at some point in time. hating your parents/authority, bitching about everything, getting drunk/doing drugs is all part of growing up. everyone experiences these things, maybe not all but i would bet that most experience at least part of that list as teens and probably even as adults.
and yes, they will consume material goods, but i don't think it's fair to assume they will all be materialistic prats who will never find happiness.
Quote: Pull into the military (to kill people, yes... KILL. Take one's life, the same action which simply couldn't be tolerated when a baby was developing on American soil. Yet killing a little North Korean boy could be considered the desire of God himself, perhaps...)
like it or not, there is never going to be peace on earth. it's an excellent idea to work towards, but it will never happen. also, pulled, i think, is a horrible word to use for this. we don't have the draft anymore, there was talk about reinstating it and amazingly enough that talk was started by a liberal but i digress. since we all have free will we are free to make our own choices, some people choose to join the military, no one forces them.
as far as killing for god, i'm sure most of the people in the american military didn't join because of religious convictions to spread the word of christianity, but i'm pretty sure that most radical terrorists killing in the name of [insert deity here] here are killing for their said god.
Quote: Wait until the individual tires of being aimless, confused and angry.. and looks to 'something,' and usually finds the nearest or most 'nostalgic' mass religion to convert to..
it's happened that way for a long time. hell look at the 60's how many kids were looking for something more than themselves, used psychedelics and decided to follow a certain belief? and what would be wrong with following a mass religion, does it really bother you that much that some people just aren't as secure as you are and need some assurance that there's something greater than themselves and religion x is what provides them with that?
Quote: And then everyone will die except for me and my ol' G's 'cause we're gunna start a super cool commune.
