[/quote] Because in those days, popular sentiment had not yet made it bad form for police to break non-violent protester's arms with nunchucks, or to rip off their badges and begin dishing out mahogany shampoos. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9MAFSo-jgk"]Police Doing Their Jobs[/url] Intending to inflict suffering as a means of "pain compliance"/coercing the will is also known as torture. It was and is standard operating procedure for policemen. Perhaps you forgot the police officers who inflicted so much violence on non-violent people in the 1980's. I have not. Listen to the priest talk about how the police officers laughed at their screams. I wonder how many of them refused to enforce those unjust laws. But no, I don't wonder. They just did their jobs. ~Sternhauser Edited December 3, 2009 by Sternhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Today while eating lunch with three new friends from university, the conversation turned towards abortion. Two of them considered themselves pro life, the last I imagine is pro choice. All three of them knew at least one person close to them who's had an abortion. I found it a bit shocking..... we're 18 and 19 years old. It seems too young! ...but I know I'm being naive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lounge Daddy Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 When I was in high school, like 20 years ago, it seems like the debate was more limited to philosophical and religious points. Today science and technology lends itself more to the debate than it used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sternhauser Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) I'd like to apologize for the tone in my saying "Perhaps you forgot." There was nothing in your simply-put question which merited that. It was the memory of things in the past that inflamed me. ~Sternhauser Edited December 3, 2009 by Sternhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade. http://www.tourolaw.edu/patch/Roe/ Here is the link to some infor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
