Where do babies come from?

[Ubermetalhed]

A personal favourite of mine is a question a girl in my high school history class asked.

The question was - 'Is Hiroshima in Greece?'

-"...What does that have to do with anythinng?! Think, it's next to Europe!"

-"Greenland?"

-"NO! It's ENGLAND! Just south of Scotland!"

Dude, Great Britain is not next to Europe, it's a part of it.

4. A foetus is not an independent life-form. It cannot survive without the mother, therefore it is dependent. The person it is dependent on should decide what to do with it.


I couldn't give a flying f%@* if I insult Christianity. What are they going to do? Murder is a sin, is it not?

A child is dependent on the mother. Does that mean we can kill babies?

I worded it slightly wrong. A born child is an independent form of life. It is not part of anything or anyone else. A foetus is, and the person it is dependent on should be given the choice about whether to keep it or not. It's all about personal freedoms, especially for victims of rape.

So no baby killing then? pity.

But anyway, rape aside, abortion seems a bit extreme. What about the babies life? What about his choice?

One could argue that as the foetus is not self-aware, it doesn't have the capacity to make choices. Also, it is the mother who must endure childbirth and then support the child, so it should fall to her.

So when does it become self aware? Does it suddenly just become self aware?
Nothing i can say about the childbirth but there is always adoption.

When a child develops the ability to make an informed decision.

Example: putting the square peg through the square hole because you know the two shapes are the same.

So i can kill people if they don't pass very simple tests. So for at least a few mouths after birth i can kill babies. If some one gets brain damage I can kill them. If someone is reaaalllly drunk or tired I can kill them.

Unfortunately, thats called murder. It's illegal.

If someone is drunk they are still self-aware. They simply have no control. Tired people are also still self-aware until they fall asleep and can make simple decisions, but need to spend longer doing so.

So it's only murder if the person has been born?

Are you implying that murdering drunk or newborn persons would be fine if it wasn't illegal?

If I'm wrong, then I apologize, but the 'unfortunately' sounds very incriminating.

ooh, story backfired on him big time. Nice one

 

[Clobbertron]

When i tell ppl i have lived in countries in Africa (Zambia, Kenya), i can sometimes get this question:

"So...Do you speak African?" (Sometimes they will ask if i speak Kenyan or Zambian, which is equally stupid but slightly more forgivable)

That post reminds me of something that happened to a friend of mine. She lived in Morocco for a while, but she lives in Canada again now. Some girl went up to her and said "If you're from Africa, how come you're white?"

Wow...LOLZ!XD! Iv'e heard stories like that too. The best one ive heard is a (possibly untrue) Bush Story:

Bush was visiting Nigeria (i think), and during one of his opening speeches he said: "I am glad to be here in the country of Africa, in the continent of Nigeria!"

HAHA wow that's a bad one.

Depends on one's moral standing I guess.

I in no way implied that it would be fine to kill newborns if it wasn't illegal. I hope to god no-one does think so.

Unfortunate for him. Not me. I want children.

My mom frequently rings the house phone, and then when I answer she says "Are you at home?"

It's just ridiculous....

Dude, Great Britain is not next to Europe, it's a part of it.

Only Politically. Geographically speaking it's an island next to the continent. Most people 'round where I come from (Israel) see Britain as seperate from the continent. And it still doesn't excuse those stupid questions.

 

[Dfskelleton]

Some guy with a nice watch asked me "What time is it?" We were also right next to a clock on the wall.
To answer your question, "When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much, they give each other a very special hug, then the mommy makes a baby! Now quit questioning life, Billy, and go sit in the corner."

You can thank 4Chan for that little rape of the English language.

Actually, it doesn't belong to Continental Europe, which is Europe minus all islands. But technically, Great Britain is a part of Europe. After all, it's the largest European Island.

'If you hold a fish underwater, will it drown?'.

I was asked this a few days ago. At work. By a 22 year old.

Once I'd got over the intial 'whu....?' and managed to stop laughing, I ended up having to convince him (along with another co-worker) that fishes, oddly enough, quite like the whole 'underwater' thing.

My friend was asked in his regular chemistry class, "Are rocks alive?" by the kid sitting next to him.

"Why do you believe in God?"
I hate that one above all else.

I hate it too man, especially when its from people who sound haughty snobs when they ask it

 

[omega 616]

This isn't so much a question but I feel like it belongs here. I also have to add this is 100% true, though you won't believe it.

a 19 your old was asked who's car was faster his or a another lads, he said "his is only a 3 door, which means it's lighter", he was then asked if a tonne of feathers or a tonne of lead was put in the boot of each car which would go faster, this was his genuine answer ...

"feathers 'cos there lighter ... No, wait. Lead 'cos it's more dense so would add traction over the back wheels".

Just wow!

No matter what we said to him we couldn't help him understand they weighed the same.

Needless to say we were all in tears with laughter.

"Do you know your missing your left pinky finger?"
my usual response is "yes" my favorite way to respond is "Holy shit where the fuck did my pinky finger go!" i usually get some laughs with that one.

"Is it cold in Alaska?"

I shit you not...

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

"You cant disprove existence of God".

I don't want to be "that guy", but that wasn't a question.


It's supposed to be a stupid question

Also, it's technically true, in the same way I can't disprove the Flying Spaghetti Monster. (Look it up.)
