I've become a hell of a lot more adventurous in the last few years. I mean, I'm not necessarily more adventurous in the dictionary definition of it but I'm much more willing to eat foods that have stuff I don't like in them or try dishes that sound delicious but I've never had from that particular restaurant before for example. Like it used to be that if we went to try a new place I would always just get a cheeseburger because it's hard to mess that up but I eventually grew to be more daring to the point of trying different sandwiches, chicken dishes, pastas, salads, etc. I know none of those are very daring or adventurous but coming from someone who never got anything other than a cheeseburger I thought it was pretty adventurous :p I mean, I actually read the whole menu now before making a decision! In regards to cooking I don't cook very often so I can't say I'm very daring with it. I'd like to think I'm pretty adventurous though! When I was a bit younger I'd pretend I was on the tv show Chopped and ask my parents to give me 4-5 ingredients from around the house and I'd make a dish with those. I can't really remember much of what I made with those various ingredients but I remember one of them included bananas, popcorn, chocolate cheerios and canned crushed pineapple. I made a parfait with the pineapple and the cheerios and it was amazing :p

I *will* unfollow you for these reasons:

---

~ You consistently never answer a single question of mine, yet constantly beg for people to send in questions / do honesty hour, etc.
~ You never answer a question of mine with more than the bare minimum.
~ You're rude to people with different views / opinions, anons who are just trying to educate themselves (not make fun of you or be stupid just for the hell of it).
~ When asked to explain something that you're trying to argue as 'correct', you can't-- yet you still act like you own the world and that you know better than everyone else. Rephrasing something does not count as an explanation.
~ You consistently answer my questions with irrelevant answers.
~ You consistently spam my newsfeed by liking answers from people I don't like or don't want to see.

I will *not* unfollow you for these reasons:

---

~ Having an opinion different than mine and being willing to explain said opinions to those who don't understand.
~ Being busy and not answering my questions frequently.
~ Being willing to admit when you're wrong (if you find yourself in that position of course).
~ You're rude to anons who are annoying and trying to get a rise out of you.
~ Funny answers.
~ In depth answers.
~ Short answers (unless there's room for expansion-- such as in a debate type question for example).

This is perfect timing! I recently posted this on Facebook due to a few absurd pro lifers I have in my friends so I decided to post here too since I'm in SUCH a rant mood.

I've been seeing a lot of pro life vs. pro choice arguments online lately and although I don't really make my political views blatantly public very often I would like to add my input to this. The matter of pregnancy and parenthood is something that should be handled responsibly, regardless of age or gender. It's not a matter to be taken lightly and it's not something in which one should use abortion as a personal form of birth control. That being said however, I am fully against absolutely everyone who says that pro life is the 'correct' belief and that anyone who says otherwise is wrong and a baby murderer. A woman should ALWAYS have the right to choose-- even if she was being irresponsible. Fetuses are not living, breathing, functional human beings until a certain point in the gestational period and that is why abortion isn't an option past a certain number of weeks. Those who perform abortions are not assisting in a murder. Those who receive an abortion are not murderers. If a woman is raped, that child should NOT be forced on her because someone took offense to something she had no choice in. Rape (and any following consequences) are NOT okay just because it involves someone else besides just the woman. A woman who was raped and is not given the option of an abortion is a woman who is being forced into a role she isn't prepared for potentially both mentally and financially because someone else took offense to HER choice in the matter. A child who never asked to be born is going to be potentially forced to live in foster care and all kinds of potentially abusive homes because someone took offense to a human being's choice. Telling a person that they have no right to choose whether or not they can have an abortion because the baby is not a part of a woman's body is essentially telling a woman that she cannot choose what goes into her body either because hey, that's not part of her body right? If a man wants to rape her, she shouldn't be able to say no because hey, that sperm will become a child one day and god forbid she stop that from happening right? Just because a few women have misused their right to a choice of abortion does not and should not mean that ALL women should have their rights to a choice and even a life taken away just because a few people couldn't see past the scientifically proven side of an argument. If you so desperately want to protect children who are actually in need of help, adopt someone. There are literally TONS of children who need a home but how many of you are actually willing to go out and adopt a child that is not and will never biologically be yours? Pro lifers so vehemently want to protect clumps of cells yet just barely a fraction of those "good samaritans" will actually help a child who is already here and looking for a nice, loving home.

I'll use a couple of the characters I've used in past stories.

---

Flame. She's an animal, a German Shepherd dog to be exact. She's no older than 4 but she is full grown so no younger than 2. She has a typical German Shepherd appearance: large, pointed ears; average length brown/black/tan fur; large for her breed (about 100 pounds), etc. etc. She has soft fur, but she doesn't have a 'home' in the stereotypical modern day definition so she's often kind of dirty/dusty to the touch. She's a very independent animal and often doesn't trust others. In the story she only trusts one character: another dog she sees as a father figure to herself. Upon meeting the main character of the story, she immediately does NOT like him. She's passive aggressive and will avoid him as much as she can. As the story unfolds she eventually grows very close to the main character and becomes his personal bodyguard, willing to do anything for him. Given the setting of the story there really isn't much to choose from for her to enjoy doing. She isn't a natural hunter but she's vicious when it comes to protecting herself or those she cares for.

Unnamed human male character. He's approximately 20-35 years old, attractive (hard, mean, icy blue eyes; dirty blonde hair that's just long enough to look ever so slightly messy but is always kept just right and classy enough to look well kept; generally average clothing but always put together and clean; tall but not overtly so-- just enough where he blends in while still being taller than the average man; muscular but not too much so as he always feels that women won't find him as attractive if he is too muscular). He has a lot of money, like a lot a lot, but one would never guess it just by looking at him as he never shows it off. He lives in a penthouse a few blocks away from a bar that he owns. The bar is like a modern day version of Cheers in my head. He rarely actually is seen at his own bar though. The guy behind the counter at the bar is named John, he's the main character's only 'real' friend and will set him up with dates-- although he doesn't know the real purpose of those dates. The main character is a serial killer who's only trying to find the 'right' girl but John just can't seem to get it right. At the end, you find out the main character couldn't find the right girl because he's actually gay and would never really find the right girl because the 'right girl' is in fact a man.

I might be incorrect with my answer here but uh.. Let's give it a shot. In the way it's set up now, I don't think prostitution is good for society either so I suppose I agree with your buddy, but if it were legalized I see no way that it would be bad. Women would have more protection and for those who actually legitimately need the money to support themselves and/or their families they wouldn't have to worry about participating in illegal activities just to do that. Also, prostitution, because it's illegal, opens up the door for everyone who wants to kidnap women and sell them for money in my eyes. Pornography on the other hand is an actual legal, binding contract type of work. It's a job in which you have two consenting adults and I would assume that you actually do have to do some legal work (such as signing legal contracts and whatnot). I don't see how either is bad for society in all honesty, you'd have to ask someone who's into this kind of subject a little more than I am.
