Steve, you say you have no empathy in your decisions, yet you speak out for the rights of females in horrible situations (rape for example). What's that all about? Is that just "logic" as you say or are you really expressing empathy (understanding what a person is going through) for that type of person? Just throwing it out there.
"Just have to be done"? Really? You actually think this?
P.S. War/armies/shooting people doesn't have to be done either. The reason for the majority of USA fighting is that it just likes to stick its nose where it doesn't belong.
Uh, actually, most wars in the past were fought because maniacs like King Richard, Genghis Khan and Hitler wanted to take over as much territory as possible and the people living there didn't like it. Sure, some wars like Vietnam and Iraq are pretty stupid (because of stupid leaders), but do you honestly believe that we shouldn't have gotten involved into at least a few wars? WWI, WWII and American Revolution come to mind, and WWI and II weren't even started by the US. Also, telling the muslims they shouldn't have fought against the Crusaders would be like telling me I should stand in the middle of a stampede and smile. Sure, I could say that the Crusaders, Nazis and all the other groups were just "sticking their nose" where it didn't belong, but I seriously don't recommend telling power hungry dictators/kings/leaders that they can't have their desired land because they're "sticking their nose where it doesn't belong." Wouldn't you stay and fight a war if a bunch of dudes came over to your house and tried to take it?
Yes, some wars aren't necessary, but others are. Fighting against the enemy (shooting people, as you put it) is necessary if the person who is being invaded doesn't want the invader telling them what to do (maybe Bush should pay attention to that instead of choosing to continue the current operation). It isn't too late to change America's image; we don't have to become the power hungry fools like Richard, Hitler and Khan (lol Khan) that we once opposed. We shouldn't fight unless someone else starts, and in that case, it's time to kick butt (and let's face it, there is always going to be some person out there who wants as much power as possible *coughBushcough*). In closing, war is sometimes necessary, and sometimes it isn't, but never is it never necessary or always necessary.
Final stance: Abortion as a form of birth control = Bad. Abortion as a form of putting a baby that cannot be properly cared for or was brought about by rape/some other horrible circumstances out of its impending misery = Acceptable. Notice how I didn't say "Yes" or "No" to anything. Things aren't as black-and-white as some people think.
This is my stance on abortion BTW.
