How about boycott google and their cohorts for their ridiculous spying, privacy invasion.
Privacy is a dead thing walking, information wants to be free, and will be. The beauty is that for the first time in history this law will apply to pauper and King alike. |

Aborted fetal parasites relieve stress and make people happy. And that abortion will save you enough money to buy a house!  |

Fact: Today there are more atheists and less Christians in America than there were yesterday. The same will be true tomorrow. And the day after that.
How do I know this to be true? Simple demographic realities. Christians are much more common among the older (read: dying off) generations, while atheists are much more common among the younger generations.
That "fact" is BS. Welcome to the thread. I can forgive you for not reading all ten pages, so here's something you missed new friend: You act like the Internet will be here forever.
 "Thou speakath as though the written word will remain for all time!"You're wrong that it will die. Compelling argument there, Socrates. When I say "die" I don't mean "no believers at all", I mean a very tiny minority will be theists, like the Amish today. Where is your more accurate recent graph without the silly lines going in opposite directions as the charted ones?
You want a more realistic graph? Here you go, a highly probable case:  And the best-case scenario for comparison:  To reiterate: That's today, 2015. And look what's already happening (in America) as a result:  Sooner or later we're going to bridge the technological gap between wetware (brains) and hardware (computers), and when that day comes you can kiss your religion goodbye forever.Face it, theists. You've lost. P.S. It won't be long before all the poor kids in like China, India, and sub-saharan Africa come online, as those areas have the benefit of leapfrogging the entire landline telecommunications tech evolution. They go from no telecom straight to internet-connected smartphone networks. Those strong Christian trends in Africa will go poof once they do. You're going to have to come to terms with the fact that within 25 years there will be more athiest Americans than there will be Christians. Oh, also there will be more hispanics than whites, so deal with that too. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, WASPS. |

That's why there is more Homeland Security day by day... to protect the Christians from terrorists. Fewer and fewer Christians, more guns, more paranoia, more fear, more desperate clinging to what little power they have left. And every citizen has a videocamera in their pocketphone. This is going to be good. |

Cancer also has a right to life. Every major metropolis is a cancer of this planet, if you adopt nature's perspective. So what? It's evolution, baby!I was being ironic at the pro-lifers. You shouldn't concede that term to them so easily, bro. Anyone who is so blatantly anti-women shouldn't have the right to call themselves pro-life. Language is important, as it shapes the geometry of our thoughts and therefore our view of the world. Language like "pro-life" is cleverly used to sanitize the violence of a thing, in this case hatred of women. A prime example is the automobile industry corporate public relations devised phrase "car accidents", which we should all stop using. Call them what they are: car crashes.    |

How they are going to pay taxes, when there is no income? The pro debt-slavery quasi-fascists are not too fuckin' bright man. Austerity economics doesn't work when half the working population - including most of your best and brightest - can just up and leave the nation. Greece has already lost it's best resource, the youth. |

"Night gathers, and now my sex begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no sperm, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my bedpost. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the toucher of the tits. I am the pervert that fucks the realms of women. I pledge my penis and thrusts to the Women's Watch, for this night and all the nights to cum." Get a vasectomy today, live a good life. Trust me, it's awesome.  |

By his medical science's logic, he was once a parasite on his mother...
Fixed that for you. Technically speaking, every fetus is a direct physical parasite until birth, and most of them remain indirect non-productive resource parasites on their parents for another 16-24 years thereafter. The fetus takes energy from the mother, often at a dire cost to the mother, and gives nothing in return. The mother's body is biologically programmed to supply the fetus first, herself second. Sure, it can be argued that it brings an emotional prize, but only if it is a wanted child. The comparison is more apparent when a woman who does not want a child is being "forced" by the state to carry it. The fetus has a parasitic relationship with the mother, living off her body often at an extreme cost to the mother in terms of nutrition, health, and in some cases, to her very life. Before modern medical science (when religion dominated culture), death during childbirth was not all that uncommon. These are indisputable medical facts. Deal with it, theists. Cancer also has a right to life. Every major metropolis is a cancer of this planet, if you adopt nature's perspective. So what? It's evolution, baby! We live in an indifferent universe, folks. It cares nothing for our fates, cares nothing for the fate of our entire backwater little solar system. Tomorrow every living thing in our entire galaxy could be sucked into a black hole, and the universe would just keep on ticking away like an eternal clock. I shouldn't have to tell anyone this, it's all self-evident truth that is being desperately denied by theists with hideous mental gymnastics. You may be wondering why it's so important to me that you all understand this. It's because modern humanity is a God pretending that it is only a child, and that is extremely self-and-other-destructive behavior. Recognizing our responsibility as the sole Stewards of Earth as soon as possible is paramount to our long-term survival as a species, and it may already be too late. P.S. The difference between an unwanted fetus (womb parasite) and a human being is that a human being has a set of deep-rooted human relationships - human beings have people that love them, people that will mourn their loss. Fetal parasites unwanted by their parents do not. P.P.S. I agree that abortions should never be anyone's goal, and will disclose that I myself (under 30, no children) have a vasectomy so that no women I lay with will ever have to face such a terrible choice. |

The peace of an atheist may last for a day, but the peace of a saved theist will last forever. This will prove especially ironic after science conquers death. |

of course they don't have any regret. they're no longer human, they destroyed their humanity when they did it.
^ that's what I want to say. but the truth is I don't know what to think.
I wish that article told us how many of those women gave birth to another child anytime after the abortion.
Yes, they have destroyed their humanity How is ridding oneself of an unwanted fetal parasite destroying their humanity? By this logic are men not human since they are incapable birth children? |

There is only one war that matters: Truth vs. Falsehood; knowledge vs. Ignorance
The religious wing nuts only have a few decades left to wipe us all out with a super weapon before we reach the next phase of human evolution. Cross youe fingers ans hang onto your butts.

Are any of you adopting a child? I thought not. Carry on Doc.

I don't think it's propaganda. Propaganda has always a negative connotation to it with half-truths, this is a pretty decent documentary. which is not the same as saying it's untrue.  |

I see no reason why this would always be the case. For example, how would every established payment system (1) have "a much more compelling incentive" to mine bitcoins? Sooner or later their choices will be reduced to capitulation or bankruptcy, that's how. |

http://time.com/3956781/women-abortion-regret-reproductive-health/The conclusion comes after a three-year research period involving nearly 670 women of all social backgrounds Ninety-five percent of women who have had abortions do not regret the decision to terminate their pregnancies, according to a study published last week in the multidisciplinary academic journal PLOS ONE. The study was carried out by researchers from the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health at UC San Francisco’s School of Medicine, and from the university’s division of biostatistics. Its conclusions come after a three-year research period in which nearly 670 women were regularly surveyed on the subject of their abortions. The sample group was diverse with regard to standard social metrics (race, education, and employment) and on the matter of what the study calls pregnancy and abortion circumstances. Financial considerations were given as the reasons for an abortion by 40 percent of women; 36 percent had decided it was “not the right time;” 26 percent of women found the decision very or somewhat easy; 53 percent found it very or somewhat difficult. The authors of the study concluded that the “overwhelming majority” of the women participating in the study felt that abortion had been the right decision “both in the short-term and over three years.” These results offer a statistical retort to the claim that women who have abortions suffer emotionally as a result, as anti-abortion campaigners claim. Previous studies cited in support of this claim, researchers said, “suffer from shortcomings, leaving the question of women’s post-abortion emotions unresolved.” The new study is careful to avoid generalities. It discerns between having lingering emotions after an abortion and regretting the abortion altogether — two distinct responses that pro-lifers tend to conflate — and concludes that post-abortion emotional reactions are normal, but almost inevitably taper over time, and that ultimately, very few women altogether regret terminating their pregnancies. “Certainly, experiencing feelings of guilt or regret in the short-term after an abortion is not a mental health problem; in fact, such emotions are a normal part of making a life decision that many women in this study found to be difficult,” the study reads. “Our results of declining emotional intensity… [find] steady or improving levels of self-esteem, life satisfaction, stress, social support, stress, substance use, and symptoms of depression and anxiety over time post-abortion.”

There could be many groups with an incentive to continue these attacks Everyone alive has an incentive to attack the bitcoin network (wealth), and everyone alive also has a much more compelling incentive not to attack the network, because it's much more profitable to direct that same energy towards mining for the network. It's basic game theory at work. |
