I couldn't believe none of the girls flinched when he told the group that the fourth trimester was after 9 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you fail to see the problem with this? College is supposed to be a place to teach people to think. It's not like they're really saying to themselves, "Yes, I want it to be legal to kill a 3 month old baby". What do you make of the girls not showing even a sign of flinching when the man mentions the "fourth trimester" is after 9 months? These sorts of videos always annoy me. You go around asking people really simple questions or have them sign something without thinking it through, record everything, then edit out all the correct answers and people who are paying attention, and then put together a montage of "look how stupid these people are". People do it at Tea Party rallies, Occupy Wall St. protests, political campaign events, etc. I'm surprised anyone still falls for it. Yeah, really makes you feel confident about our society, doesn't it? (sarcasm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are people, no matter where you go.So I take it this means you don't care about human rationality? What do you make of the girls not showing even a sign of flinching when the man mentions the "fourth trimester" is after 9 months? She obviously didn't think about it. On a lot of campuses, there are all sorts of people with all sorts of petitions.I said "girls", not "girl".But does this mean you are OK with people signing a petition for the legal termination of born children under the excuse of not paying attention to what they are signing? Yeah, really makes you feel confident about our society, doesn't it? (sarcasm) Meh, like I said, it's nothing more than an editing trick. Spend a few days asking a bunch of people really obvious questions, edit out all the reasonable responses, post a short montage of the rest, and claim society is going downhill!!!Did you hear at the end of the video the guy mentioning there were those who "caught on" to what he was doing?

People signed to ban pressure cookers and black back packs after the Boston Bombing, people have signed to ban H2O and my favorite is people signed one stating they were morons. Stand around long enough you will get enough people to make a video. None of them tell you how many people said no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"When does life begin? I submit the answer depends an awful lot on the feeling of the parents. A powerful feeling--but not science," Harris-Perry said on her July 21 MSNBC show. Source So if a mother doesn't "feel" like her baby's life begins after it is born, is it ok to kill it? You may laugh and write this off, but there are others who are making statements indicating that they seem to regard even a born baby as a non-human non-living thing (or whatever they call an unborn baby to justify terminating it's life is not murder).

You may laugh and write this off, but there are others who are making statements indicating that they seem to regard even a born baby as a non-human non-living thing (or whatever they call an unborn baby to justify terminating it's life is not murder). That's one person expressing an extreme position. I can easily find Christians advocating for abandoning the US Constitution and replacing it with an Old Testament theocracy (Christian Reconstructionists). How do you explain that? Is it indicative of something larger within Christianity? Or is it just another example of a small group of people being rather extreme in their beliefs? What's this debate tactic called? Dodging the issue? Diversion? I'm not biting. Abortion disregards the unborn baby as a human life, and thus justify it's "elimination" or "termination" as something other than ending a human life (1st degree murder). If you can convince yourself that it is not a "baby", a living human being, and that ending it's existence is justifiable in the name of "freedom" or "inconvenience", then what is to prevent society from accepting this next step? Several "pro-lifers" have warned of this trend, and we are seeing signs of it coming to fruition. Laugh it off now. Let's see where we are 10 years from now.
