Does anyone care any more? I stopped reading all that stuff (i.e. the whole feminist/atheist rant) months ago. It feels an irrelevant blind alley.

In really late (and rare) abortions there is at least some risk to the woman which is one reason is restricted.

Watson unfortunately comes from somewhere where abortion is highly politicised so like sexual harrassment ( as in someone trying to chat you up) takes silly extreme positions. If someone takes an equal and opposite extremist position you tend to get a bit squashed if you take a middle of the road position yourself.

Then again I'm not pro choice, I'm pro abortion I think we don't have enough of them. Every abortion of an unwanted child is one less person who is going to grow up , will never work , will end up in prison and possible end up mugging me. Forget free abortions on the NHS we should pay people to have them , Anyone who is a decent person would be appalled by such an idea but the ones who take the money arent fit parents anyway

I read the first paragraph and I was like 'Yes! The old articulate intelligent Jonno is back'. Then I read the second paragraph and

Which bit rEvolutionist do you disagree, using public money to influence(not force) population control has been around in the Western world for a long time, from free/subsidised contraception to tax breaks / extra benefits for having children. Abortion and population control in general is the best way of preventing poverty that we have

A note: I meant first and second paragraph were good, last paragraph was nonsense.

I can't be bothered Jonno. Your opinionated opinions sap my will to breath.

Rum, it seems the planet seems to connect certain things as inevitably going hand in hand, we can't really do anything about the simple folk. Example: belief in global warming will lead to socialism.

Because of Coito.

Hell the only reason it got that far, and the only reason for that big Pappa Ratz rape dramma, was because CES had been making new threads each month about the skepchicks for nearly a year previously.

I'm sure someone's said this before, but I can only assume CES has a crush on Watson. It's almost become his thing on the forum.

Horwood resurrects old posts.

I drink gin and solve quadratic equations.

LP campaigns about RDF issues.

Coito starts threads about the skepchicks.

Each to his or her own...

[Azathoth]

I would hardly call it warring. More like yapping at him like a particularly annoying rat dog.

[Audley Strange]

Ms Watson is a controversy-monger that jumped the shark and I think will soon be regretting her lying and deception.

Should be fun to watch.

That's just plain silly. The threads I made here on Rationalia were about things that had already expanded into rambunctious controversies within the atheist/skeptic/freethinker community -- dozens of other websites and forums had raging debates already. Yet, CES is to blame for creating the drama by reporting it?

And, please, don't blame me for the "Pappa Ratz rape drama" -- I never said anything about it, not until well after the fact. When Pappa made that joke, I gave the the thread a wide berth, and I only chimed in later to defend Pappa when some folks here (mainly former Ratz) were calling for his head.

You've got that wrong. I became fascinated by the little wars declared by Watson and other Skepchicks against various people. I was an early identifier of them, and FtB/Myers et al, having a concerted plan of attack for a specific purpose. They did. That was ultimately shown to be true by virtue of Thunderf00t and others' actions.

Remember, it's not just me, posting solely here on Ratz, that has been reporting on and participating in the anti-Skepchick anti-ApeLust fight. Prominent youtuber Thunderf00t, Justin Vacula, Dawkins himself, various other major web personalities, all were engaged in an online battle.

I would love to have such power that it was I, humble CES, who created the entire controversy. However, I assure you, that isn't the case.

I've been attempting to point out the irrationality of "Feminism" as a movement since the late 90's and vocally about it online since about 2003. However I don't trawl their sites, so I appreciate the comedy even if no one else does CES. The whole FtB/Skepchick/a+ thing has harmed them more than I would have expected because they have exposed, to the A.S community at large, their unsound and totalitarian fantasies, their lack of reasoning and the heavy reliance on appeals to emotion, ad-hominem and every other cheap rhetorical trick in the book.

It's over CES, they marginalised themselves have went from thousands of hits per day to dozens, mostly I think from people like yourself and the Slyme-pit ((Hi guys!)) and their handful of crackpot courtiers.

I never said you did. But you can't deny that you've been posting on this forum about this subject far more than anyone else. Just look at all these threads you've started. It's your thing.

I very much agree with the last paragraph ... not necessarily the payment idea (I haven't given the ethics of that much thought), but the overall pro-abortion stance.

Oh, what the hell, I'll bookmark this one. Why not.

Needs more
