ABORTION

[maggie_c]

nonson, i'm not going get dragged into a slanging match with you ok
i respect that you think differently to me

[maggie_c]

i'm sorry if i've somehow given you the impression that i think you have a 'lesser intellect'. funnily enough though you give that impression yourself.
and nonson, i am quite happy with my moral outlook on life and i don't mind what you think because i am a tolerant and non-judgemental person

These are just a few pointers:

1.Women sold naked for 27p naked in the press
2.Women encouraged to enlarge their breast
3.Women used in advertising/marketing tool

Although the posting is about Abortion, I am trying to highlight how women are being exploited in the western world.

nonson - you are intelligent
i am intelligent
you are narrow-minded
i am broad-minded

you read my posts and interpret them in your own biased way (a natural thing to do), but you are seeing things that are not there

i could go into my answers in much more depth, but this is just a diversion - i have other things to do. besides, whatever i wrote it would make no difference to you - you have made your mind up, take the 'moral highground', abuse me if you will - maybe it makes you feel good. i feel sad that there are people like you, i'm not offended though. my own life-style probably doesn't contain anything that even you would disapprove of - isn't that strange, i just don't think it is my place to harshly judge other people who choose differently from me. anyway, that's about all i have to say... so accuse me of being unintelligent, childish, immoral, a failure as a human. i would be worried if there was even a grain of truth in what you say.
Have a nice day

well i think we've said really all there is to say don't you?
i've never met anyone like you in real-life, (thank God!) although i have travelled widely and had many experiences and met people from a wide range of backgrounds from all over the world.
where i come from a broad mind is considered to be balanced and objective, i've never known it to be considered a negative attribute before and you certainly have not convinced me.
you have said nothing in support of your own position - do you realise that?
anyhow, i'm signing off right now - you are welcome to have the last word

Dear Maggie,

Please continue to post, (how else can we let men feel so empowered over our personal reproductive organs?)

(Ignore Nonson. Nonson = Nonsense = Non-entity! (Even with spell check he cannot seem to use the proper words in most of his diatribes if you'll duly note)

As for the "exploitation" of Western Women, the advertising in Europe is much more suggestive than in the States. By the way, I happen to be a professional model, and I enjoy the FREEDOM to choose which modeling assignments I will do. I haven't enlarged my breasts, I haven't modeled in anything immoral and lately I am typically cast as the happy "Mom" or "School Teacher", "Doctor", etc. (Male models do the SAME thing by the way...well...except they're cast as Dads instead of Moms.)

So what? That leads to abortion?
(BTW, I've NEVER had one either...so that would seem to blow that theory...)
