[QUOTE=Jallen;22343715]Yes but nobody does or should have to use more than a condom. Anyway, enough derail I think.[/QUOTE]
I'm not talking about stacking condoms on each other, that ironically enough raises the chance of failure, they rub against each other and cause them to crack therefore making the semen run out, I'm talking about a condom whilst having sex and the girl can take a morning after pill just in case.

no one does

[QUOTE=BurnEmDown;22324783]I would actually prefer to be closer to the center, since I don't like extremes.[/QUOTE]
yeah see the problem with that is you have no actual logical reasoning behind making your decisions

Many do combine preventives, of course the 2% failure rate is gonna scare somebody.

Yeah lets flood our water system with estrogen :downs:
[QUOTE=DogGunn;22341560]If you say so. Political indecisiveness is not a bad thing at all. It's why different people get voted in at an election. Otherwise, you'd pretty much be constant.[/QUOTE]
it's good for elections and that's about it, any kind of decision making can be essentially completely disregarded because most of them decide issue to issue arbitrarily
being a moderate isn't really a good thing unless it's election time
I'd rather have someone with an actual legitimate thought process and reasoning behind their decisions
[QUOTE=Jallen;22343820]Yeah lets flood our water system with estrogen :downs:[/QUOTE]
Yeah lets, these are my opinions, you cannot change them. Agree with me fine, disagree with me, keep your opinions to yourself I'm not trying to convert you. Now excuse me all this talking about sex has gotten me in the mood, toodles.
[QUOTE=PjaNoo^;22343323]It got me right I'm a Social Libertarian, but I disagree strongly on a few points like same sex marriage, abortion, child adoption for homosexuals. Its just not natural.[/QUOTE]
So what you're saying is that you're not really a social libertarian. Denying people these rights, especially the last two, contributes to social stratification and economic drain on what I assume would be a collectivist society, thus defeating the whole "equal opportunity" deal.
First post,

muchos extremos.
Funny, I took this quiz before several years ago, and it put me slightly up and to the right.
I answered all the questions [B]exactly[/B] the same as I did before (the quiz hasn't changed) and it put me pretty far to the left.
Quiz is rigged, nuff said.
[quote]People with serious inheritable disabilities should not be allowed to reproduce.[/quote]This one is so touchy and difficult for me. I don't like the idea of saying I agree, but I really do to some extent. it always saddens me to see a picture of a parent with a severe mental or physical disability, and their child sharing the same hardship. Just adopt a kid if you want a child, there''s plenty of children without parents.

I consider myself pretty far left, but I have a few beliefs in particular that are strongly right wing, which sends me over to the right a bit.

As long as they aren't sad about it, what does it matter? There are exceptions, of course, such as family members being burdened as caregivers; unfortunately, it is their place to convince their dependent not to create another one, not the government's job to enforce non-consensual sterilization.
[QUOTE=Ultra Violence;22348965]As long as they aren't sad about it, what does it matter?[/QUOTE]
That's like saying it's fine to go around giving people lobotomies, because they won't have the mental capacity to be sad about it. If you're physically handicapped, well, you've never had the experience of not being handicapped, so maybe you won't be sad about it. That's not much of a life, though.

I think they should just adopt, otherwise their child will just drain resources and have a life of suffering.

Because people who are physically crippled are also retarded.
EDIT: Your metaphor is closer to saying it's fine to sterilize people, because they won't have the capacity to be sad about it.
You know, what with the whole forcing a condition upon people that was not already in their genes.
[QUOTE=Ultra Violence;22349051]Because people who are physically crippled are also retarded.[/QUOTE]
People who are physically crippled from birth won't know how much better it is to [B]not[/B] be handicapped. You may be modestly happy, but it's not much of a life.
By knowingly having a baby that will be crippled or retarded at birth, you're dooming them to what is a burdening, and possibly dead-end life.

I'm not too versed in the way of genetic disorders, but the ones I know of that actually literally cripple a child at birth are usually easily identifiable before the 3rd trimester (like spina bifida), thus abortion is always a viable option--and a much better one, given the chance involved with genetic disorders versus the permanent solution of sterilization. Other diseases may develop much later in adulthood (multiple sclerosis, alzheimers), and while those are definitely terrible things to experience, eugenics won't solve the issue because those "mutations" will still appear.
Then there's the difficult bit of someday finding a cure for a disease, and having a plethora of people with a curable disease forever unable to reproduce.
Anyway, I didn't mean to hijack this thread with an argument against forced sterilization, so I'll leave it at that.
