So, why don't you Canucks chip in another 3 billion? You seem to see a threat after all.

Np, thanks for the civil discussion.

For the record, I prefer the term "jinatalia".

"like being pro-abortion but willing to risk his life to save a hamster and then adminster a CPR on it.

What a humanitarian."

Neat! You arbitrarily assign me a characteristic then mock me for having it.

mietla is a tard.

And he's wrong because he's tardarific.

Yes, there are certain things that cover both fiscal and social issues. And there are some that don't. Pigeonholing always sucks, doesn't it.

For example, what is your position on the issues I listed above?

Welfare - Kerryesque Waffleism. I can be talked into agreeing that it is needed in some cases. However I believe it should be reduced drastically, by an order of magnitude. We need to get government expenditures down to about 10% of GDP to ensure the viability of our economy in the long run.

Gay marriage - Government should not regulate marriage in any way. If people want to make contracts with each other there are plenty of laws on the books to cover that already.

Prohibition - Individuals can determine what they want to put in their body. Government has no right to interfere.

Censorship - None of the government's business to tell us what to read or what to see or hear.

Prosititution - If two people agree to have sex it is not the government's business if they exchange money or anything else.

Right, well, I agree with pretty much all of this. I would call the above "fiscally conservative and socially liberal", in a general sense. Would you not? Certainly you can't call yourself a Republican...gay marriage and prostitution.

Nope a fetus is not a child.

But don't pigeonhole me yet!

I don't fit exclusively into a pro-choice mold, nor pro-life. Neither side would accept me.

I'm pro-choice but am generally against late term abortions.

I've never really understood this whole fetus/child thing. Is there some mystical moment when life enters a fetus and it becomes a human being?

Depends on who you talk to. Some people believe the act of a sperm entering an egg makes it a child instead of say a zygote.

The point that I believe a fetus becomes "human" is the point at which it can live outside the mother.

It's really a question of lable assignment. And people say "semantics" is silly.
