Depends, I dont think youll ever see anyone pushing to make condoms or birth control illegal. The real issue is if they will allow health insurance to cover it. There is also potential for abortion to have limitations placed on it, but unlikely to make it illegal.

I'm all for any solution that strikes a balance between the valid points of both extremes on this argument. I dont think abortion should be illegal but it should be extremely limited, and certainly not up to the point of viability (or anywhere close to that), but I also think that onlyw orks if contraception and pregnancy tests are free and if abortion, when legal, is also free (included in insurance)

Well yea, it is a view point which isnt non-existant. But even in the south its not as pervasive as it might appear to an outsider. I never met anyone in the south who thinks condoms should be illegal.

Pennsylvania in the 80s. Though I have traveled and gotten a chance to know the culture in many states in the USA from the south, to the west, to the midwest.

To be fair that isnt a very apt picture of america. While I do admit there are issues, legitimate ones, most of us are all taught in school in sex ed to use condoms, abstinence is rarely taught, and generally we are told to be responsible and understand the consequences of sex (and thus why contraception is imortant).

Even among the religious condoms are the norm. The stories you hear of teaching abstinence is an edge case, not the norm, among religious or otherwise.

How dating works according to me:

1) Ask if they like cats or dogs
2) Send them an endless stream of cat or dog memes
3) something
4) marriage

lol, truth.

@rcg Oh my!

@binsrc

Well as I said your mind is more than your conscious thoughts. Usually if we walk near a ledge we make a conscious effort not to step over it but you arent actively thinking about not dieing, it is automatic, it doesnt need reasoning, but if asked why you'd recognize you were avoiding death

@amerika

@binsrc its still ego, it is just reflexive. Our subconscious is capable of responding quickly and in line with our wishes.

In fact if the argument is truly "they had no time to think" then it isnt altruistic anymore than it is selfish, since they didnt reason about it either way.

@binsrc Nothing can be altruistic, you wouldn't want it if it was :)

The problem is that people assume selfishness means bad. In fact selfishness can be bad or good and usually when we see positive selfishness we just call it altruism even though its not. Its more about our bias with words than anything.

@binsrc depends, your sense of self-importance may be an illusion, but the fact that you expiernce it is very real all the same.

@binsrc This isnt my idea by the way

@binsrc People get paid, they feel good, most have people in their life they would be sad to loose, lots of benefit for the people who work on cures really.

But of those reasons the biggest one seems to be wanting to save people you love who have the illness, which seems to be the vast majority of people working on cures, to avoid the guilt and sadness of doing nothing and letting their loved ones die is a lot of it.

@binsrc none of those acts are altruistic. You do it for many reasons such as to avoid guild, the happiness and pleasure from doing the good deed, and the praise and honor you receive from the community in doing so.

Altruism is simply an illusion, something we tell ourselves because it feels good.

@binsrc altruism is an illusion, it doesnt exist. Altruism is just what wer call selfishness done expertly.

I absolutely must start doing this!

@igeljaeger What they really need is a way to deactivate words and ensure you **only** see the memes

@dansup Still cool, awesome man!
