Please Be honest about your answers.

I'd say "That sucks!"

*laughs because he's revived another useless post* This shall be my new pasttime/career.

I'd probably throw up all over him.

Wow...good question. I'd do my best to help her get through it. I'd help her look into possible courses of action, and, above all else, be there for her. Only decent thing to do.

I love how everyone starts talking about politics in a site looking for moral support qualities. Nice job everyone.

If my BEST-friend was pregnant, I'd be worried considering he was a guy. (Hate to be a smart @ss, but people need a little humor every now and again.) However, if my closest female friend were pregnant, I'd express my concern and dissatisfaction with the decision she made that I feel was wrong. In spite of this, I wouldnt hold it against her. She is my friend after all and my Christian teachings as well as personal morals based on that tell me to offer my help on any of her problems. I would discuss with her the waste of human potential known as abortion, and why I feel it's wrong and a bad choice. But yes, I suppose I wouldnt abondon my obligations as her friend by turning my back on her. I was taught to help when help is in dire need and my conscience would eat me alive to not do so.

also-
treating the poor women as an outcast will not make anyone feel better. Not even Her critics.

I would advise anyone, whatever the circumstances, not to get an abortion. Even if they don't consider ethics an issue, despite what many people would have you beleive, Abortion is NOT safer than childbirth. In fact it is much worse- their is a signifigant chance you might bleed to death, and if not there can be many other complications. Also, many women - even some who convinced themselves it wasen't wrong- later have depression and feelings of guilt because of the abortion.

Um .. I've never had to deal with this, but it is something worth preparing for, isn't it? First of all, I wouldn't judge. What's done is done. Second, I'd stay her friend through everything, no matter what. I'd imagine that support is what she'd need most. Third, I'd advise her not to get an abortion. I believe in a woman's right to choose. However, I believe that a woman should exhaust every option before turning to abortion. Adoption is a much better choice, and so many people are waiting to adopt. But again, I think the most important thing is to give her the support she needs, listen to her when she wants to talk, offer help when she needs it, and just be there for her.

First, whatever you choose to do, it is your choice. But you asked for advice so here is what I think.

You are not there to judge your friend. If I were in such a position, I would support her in anyway possible. I would help her face, not only her family, but her peers, which are the ones who will be the most brutal. Friendship is more important than almost anything and someday perhaps she'll return whatever kindess you bestow upon her.

Last year, in 11th grade, a good friend of mine met someone, thought she was in love with him, and went to bed with him. A few months later, she found out she was pregnant, and totally panicked. Her boyfriend quit school and got a job (at a grocery store, bagging groceries and stocking shelves.) When her parents found out, they kicked her out of the house. She had to quit school and get a job at Burger King. His parents wouldn't help them either, and they both had nowhere to live, except for his car. Into the fourth month of her pregnancy, she lost the baby, AND her boyfriend (he blew her off, and went back home.) She refuses to speak to her parents, and has left Michigan to go live with a friend in Ohio. She still e-mails me once in a while, but her life is ruined. She can't go back to school because she has to work to pay her share of the rent and bills -- and she has no family anymore.

I guess the moral of this story is......."Don't have sex until you're old enough to deal with the consequences." I know I'm not going to!

First of all i wouldn't tell my friend to try to fall down the stairs to kill her baby like in RICWB. I would probably try to help my friend through it.

I would do whatever I could to try and help that person through their pregnancy and birth. I would help them make important desicions and whatever eles. If I didn't do that, she wouldn't be my best friend.

I think a true friend would stick by that persons side. I mean, what kind of friend would you be if you were there for all the fun, but then ditched that person when it got hard on them! If my best friend were to get pregnant I would be right by her side all the way! I wouldn't consider any other option, as a friend I believe it's my responsibility to be there for the laughs and for the tears. No one is perfect and who am I to ditch my friend for a mistake she may have made!! I would be there for my friend and I would hope she would do the same if I were in that situation.

7 months ago, my best friend came up to me and told me she thought I was pregnant. I immediantly went and got her a home-pregnancy test. It came out positive and we weren't really sure what to do. We eventually went to the doctor's who confirmed the test results. Now, my friend is pretty much 7 months pregnant. My feelings towards her have no changed what-so-ever. If they changed at all, I've gained respect for her. Sure, she made the choice to have sex but it wasn't like she was sleeping around with just anyone. She was a in a committed relationship. I personally don't believe in sex outside of marriage but who am I to critize my own friend? I'm not perfect. Anyway, my friend and her baby are healthy and we're expecting a new family member around July 15th. This experience has changed us all forever and I've gained so much more respect and love for my friend. She's been really brave through this all - putting up with lousy friends that ditched her, people who judge her, all the doctor's appointments, and just handling being a teen mother. I know she'll make an awesome mother cuz she's an awesome friend.

I would support her any choice she made. I would help her sort out her problems. I believe in rights for women, nothing mandatory. It's her choice and I have no right to try to force her to do anything.

Subject says it all

Well, now that you've gotten throughly off topic with pregnant friends...

In any case, Communism as a governmental system is fiction. It is utterly impossible to implement a true communism over large countries and numbers of people. Why? Because we are not robots. The fundemental differences in humanity that CANNOT be changed will lead to the collapse of the system into an elitist's playground.

In order for any country to be ruled in a true communistic way, everyone must have a say on everything done, which, quite frankly, is impossible. The only solution to this problem would have to be a beurocratic system assigned by elected officials. Now that we've established a beurocracy, things already are turning very bad (at least in a communist system) eventually power will corrupt, and you'll see the same pattern repeated in all the "red" nations.

However, communism has it's applications. Where you ask? In companies. Keep the free market system, alow competition to fuel prosperity. Worker Co-ops are essentialy companies run like communists governments. The workers have nearly equal stocks in the company, and they make major decisions. They regulate thier pay, product quality, and everything else. The reason it would work here is because communism is applied on a small, specialized scale. You want to produce cars? Then everyone in the company knows the basics on car manufacture and can decide when the time comes.
Co-ops also are safer than full fledged communist systems. If one company becomes corrupt, then it fails and fades away or is shut down in the end only a small portion of the populous is affected.
If the whole government is communistic, and it fails, much pain and oppression usually insues for decades before it fails.

Oh, and the world is about what everyone thinks, however some people are horribly wrong or stupid. Remeber that the average IQ is only 100 That means, statisticaly, that 50% of all people have an IQ of under 100. Which is quite scary, thank God everyone doesn't vote.

Marine, thanks for the support during this barrage of insults. You are a great freind.

Liltrumpet girl, once again you have resorted to putting words in my mouth. I never said that you told Bushsupporter to 'shut up' and I never said you shouldn't be able to give you opinion. I am begining to think that putting words in some else's mouth is the only arguement technique you know (That is very sleazy technique)

I was simply 'venting' my opinion to Bushsupporter. Am I not allowed to do that? I thaught that was the purpose of this site?

When you wrote, Liltrumpetgirl, 'do your friends know this...you should tell them because they might see you for something else.' You were right. I'm sure Bushsupporter's firend would look at him with a little more integrity, with a little more morales, with a little more praise and with a little more honesty than they did before.
