You're gay.

For never answering my calls.

Abortionist

From a purely logical standpoint, it makes perfect sense if you believe abortion is murder. But it's so obvious that you clearly just typed this to start a riot, heh. That's why I'm not recommending...

true, but still a sad way to go about preventing murders. i'm not really an eye for an eye kind of girl though... or an eye for a thousand eyes kind of girl.

Murder is Murder.... When will people see that?? Justify it however you want... It does not change a thing!

@barbbbb - What? When was the last time we talked on the phone?

That's exactly what my mom thinks.  

In defense of that without defense stand you.

Abortion is a societal necessity. Right, wrong, moral, or immoral - it is necessary and utilized by women who neither would survive pregnancy or want of child. In a world over-populated by a factor of seven, forcing a woman to have a child against her wishes, even due to gross neglect, wanton recklessness, or foreseeable disregard - this is perhaps the most foolish and tyrannical edict in the modern world.

Their lives are not yours to live, nor mine. Looking around at some of the scum littering this planet, I wish more people had been aborted. Regardless of personal inability to emotionally cope with the destruction of a cluster of several hundred thousand (perhaps million) cells, the reality that abortion is - and will be - utilized by women throughout the world for whatever reason still remains, despite the illogical protestors, murders of abortionists, and the blasphemy that a collection of one hundred thousand cells has equal right to exist as a being with a trillion cells - despite all the non sequiturs, abortion will continue to exist until societal circumstance no longer makes abortions a necessity (and there are several). Do I hold out hope that perhaps one day abortion will become an antiquated relic of this, one of humanity's darkest ages? No more or less so than I hold out hope that humanity itself will survive and prosper: we will do so only if we reach consensus and figure out solutions to our dilemmas. Given that currently we only focus upon naming our problems, not solving them, no, it's not very likely.

@gloomsister - I've never heard of it, I'll look it up. Also, sorry I've been so lapsed in responding to things, especially that one short story. I need to get better about that.

@CallMeQuell - 

You're a professional at this trolling business.

I have much to learn from you, Miss B.

Also, I will never be able to tell when you're kidding or serious,

as you're a woman and therefore not intelligent enough to use sarcasm or sardonicism properly.

Now who's trollin'?

@CallMeQuell - 

Not a defense, per se...

Moreover, wouldn't be the first time I've raped the laws of logic, of which there are more than fifty ways to invalidly argue, most of which are deeply ingrained into the psyche...especially those of bloggers.

Furthermore, I am not your aforementioned 'Matt,' though IP addresses - much like bitches - are nothing but hoes and tricks. Give me thirty seconds and I'll have a new one; give me two minutes, and I'll have one of my own choosing. Internet Protocol, especially version 4, has so many loopholes and security flaws that you could drive a veritable ice cream truck through the alleyways of its protocol.

Sardonicism is indeed a word; being the excellent grammarian you seem, you ought know that.
Is that last sentence of yours for real? It's not rocking very hard.

@CallMeQuell - It's actually not as difficult as you'd imagine. Just spoof your MAC address, and you appear to your ISP to be a different machine trying to connect to its network, and so they'll grant you a different IP address, though often one within the same subnet, so it's only mildly useful for evading IP-based sitebans or avoiding detection as a member of a distrusted network. More useful are VPNs, virtual private networks, which can be encrypted much more quickly and completely than can standard connections.

As for anonymity, no, nothing on the internet is anonymous, I'm afraid. There are reverse in-addr.arpa lookups, pinging, traceroutes, trojans, keyloggers, malware of all kinds, and all sorts of other tools. Moreover, the government stores all data on servers - this isn't paranoia, it's demonstrable fact. AT&T, among other internet service providers, allows the government to "split" their cables and divert, analyze, download, and store data on government servers...often as the data is in transit...well, that is of course a crude oversimplification of the process, but without boring you with the technical details, you get the gist of this atrocious abuse of power. What is not oversimplification, nor exaggeration, is the fact that every phone call you have received or placed, every e-mail you have sent or received, every SMS text message, every instant message ever sent or received within the past nine years (maybe for longer) has been downloaded and stored on governmental servers. Period, full stop. This is demonstrably true, and the name of the program under which this information is gathered is known as 'Stellar Wind,' noted by the New York Times in 2003, leaked by a member of the National Security Agency, whose purview is to collect and analyze the received information - if it contains any number of keywords, it is then, and supposedly only then, flagged for review by human operators to determine if indeed the data captured represents an intelligible threat to the world at large. This is frightening, horribly illegal, and infuriating to anyone who supports liberty and the rule of law. To me, it represents the first and final vestiges of tyranny.

Anonymity is a poor substitute for privacy, and both are now long dead.

Read Day of the Jackal by Forsyth if you want some good tips on how to preserve what is left of yours.

Do not, however, assume anything is privileged or private on the internet.
Ever.

Also, I'm still rather surprised that you don't have dictionary.com bookmarked to your bookmarks toolbar.
I'd bet they have an RSS feed by now. If not, that's a shame. (I would bookmark it, but mine's already filled up...)

@CallMeQuell - 

It's not just AT&T... pretty much every ISP in America has rolled over and spread their proverbial legs for the CIA, FBI, NSA, and other alphabet-soup clandestine agencies wanting to surveil us all.

And no, Obama's taking Bush's failure, re-naming the sport, and running with it across the finish line in the name of "security" as though it were the winning touchdown pass in the Super Bowl....

"Cyber-Security Czar" - honestly, I would feel half as better about it if only they would stop invoking the nomenclature of imperial Russia.

No, we're in for even more erosion of our civil liberties in the name of that ineffable, unnameable, undefineable "greater good."

I voted for him, and so far all he's done is disappoint the fuck out of me, mostly.

Any one man with as much power as our Chief Executive yields should be overthrown...all of our Presidents since G.Washington have pretty much been corrupt, abusive assholes. Even Lincoln, perhaps our greatest president, trampled on the Constitution. Any one man - or woman - who thinks he's the best person to lead our nation does us all a great disservice by the sheer virtue of being only one man.

I keep digressing.

@CallMeQuell - 

You forget that it is only intelligent men who are dangerous.

I don't fear imbeciles. I fear men who are cunning.

I don't listen to hatemongers who loathe Obama because he's black or they think he's a Mussie.

I hate the man for being a Constitutional law scholar and former lawyer and still choosing to trample on the Constitution.

He's very similar to Bush except his skin's slightly darker and he's a couple shades more intelligent - and Bush, believe it or not, was intelligent - intelligent enough to trick us all into thinking that he was stupid... and he's not stupid; just very, very malevolent.

There's no way to fix the problems before us save drowning the whole beast in fire and starting anew. We did it once before starting on April 19th, 1775, and we can sure as fuck do it again...but the book is closing and the opportunity to revolt is nearly finished. We'll be shipped off to the gas chambers at some point. Even good governments, which are rare to start, always slide into tyranny. They're taking away guns, making ammunition nearly impossible to find, much less purchase, and making soldiers act as police officers....all of which would have sparked a goddamned revolution even 80 years ago. There's no protest anymore, that the exercise of legitimate rights are, and long have been, eliminated and otherwise suppressed. Fuck, we wrote the Constitution a full hundred years before we realized that we have an income tax. Goddamn, burn it all down and start again. Give me liberty or give me your head on a platter.

Legislating our ills away by prohibiting certain acts no more solves the problem of crime than closing one's eyes puts out a forest fire.
