Norfolk...disturbing.

Okay, I can deffinately see your point in that context.　A personal invitation like that might be more awkward. But when I read the article in question I thought they said it was a blanket invitation to all the staff. I must have read it wrong.

But let`s take religion out of the picture for a moment. If I were a member of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and my boss invited me to go with him and a few coworkers on a hunting trip, would it really jepordize my job to say no thanks? If that kind of work environment is really prevalent back home, I don`t think religion is the issue people should be worried about.

What, do you have something against animals now? I don't get it.

Kidding. Good point, though. Seems like you're touching on unfair treatment. However, religion and PETA are two different things, not only in how morality views them but in how the law does.

Do you think Children of 12 can understand concepts like "right to life," "Self Determination" , appreciate concepts like when a a cell package becomes "human", understand concepts like Self Awareness? These kids don't get delayed gratification yet! The part of their brain that allows for that type of thinking Isn't fully Formed and Functional Yet!!! Most people won't figure that out till into their late 20's, a great many Never will!

lori-

I understood all that before 12, including (especially) delayed grattification.

We are asked to believe in the giraffe when the duck is right before our eyes.

If they aren't fully formed, we should be able to abort them until their late 20's

Considering some of the people I run into or hear about, perhaps there should be no age limit at all.

I like the idea of putting someone out of everyone else's misery.

Im a fan of the idea of Retroactive Abortion... as long as I get to choose.
