Thank you for stopping by. A compromise by nature means that no one is getting 100% of what they want. I noticed your “concession” refers to the upbringing of children from unplanned pregnancies, but makes no mention of conceding abortion in some cases, which is presumably outside your comfort zone. Since my plan makes provisions for both options, I must respectively turn your own accusation on you. In fact, until the Pro-Life movement does accept that they are not going to get their way 100% of the time, they will be stuck preaching to the converted.

Furthermore, to say that you can eliminate sexual activity entirely in schools is a lofty goal, but not a realistic one since early pregnancies existed long before sexual liberation and during the time when the church had Stalin-esque control over society.

You will not find common ground between prolife and prochoice people on sex education as you will find that there huge philosophical differences. Most pro-life people do not believe that a teacher is the person best suited to explain human sexuality, pregnancy, diseases and other things. Many prolife people would also disagree that sexual activity in high school is inevitable. Lastly many people would be unprepared to respond to the risk of sexual activities with birth control devices. The plan you are proposing is one that suits your value system but it is not something that prolife people or churches are going to get on board with.

I also fail to see how anything in your proposal reflects compromise on both sides - it’s very one-sided

1) Population decline is an issue but the answer isn’t simply welcoming more accidental children. Many of these children are from single parent and disadvantaged homes; thus, they are more likely to become criminals and contribute little to the country. Do we really want more of that instead of hard-working, ready-made foreign labour?

2) I’m thinking about a server change [for obvious reasons]. Since we all own our databases now the changeover can be seamless to the user. Let me know if you’re up for it (should take about a good day of work)

Personally I’d say — in the case of the US at least — immigrants have nothing on born citizens in terms of prowess at screwing the pooch.

The big picture is very disturbing especially when we consider that we could eventually lose our country by default to immigrants who will change it in ways never imagined by the people who invented and marketed their product.

There was a time when marriage and family meant something and I say that as a person who only attends church at marriages and funerals.

Just something to consider.
