It's quite good, but it talks about a comunity and how it deals wiht population and stuff. All the children born within one year are all considered exactly the same age. At age 12, they are assigned a job in the comunity. Some women end up being birth mothers. They basically have children through a petri dish. The children are then assigned to families. One male and one femal to each family. No more. Weird way to deal with population problems huh?  |

FB, I can now see that maybe i was wrong in thinking what i started to after seeing you comment. And Hugo for the record, maybe the hypocritical judging side of you should stand back and take a look at the world. Genetic altering is tha stupidist thing i have ever heard of. If you are that against homosexuals that you need to start talking about this, then maybe YOU need to be genetically altered to be even a little smart. And also FB, posts do not get deleted for speaking against homosexuals, blacks, mexicans or anything else you stated. If there are so many two faced people in the world, then maybe they themselves better clean thier doorsteps before entering into the door of anyone else. And Free Girl, homosexuals destroying themselves, well girl, the only thing destroying this world is the close minded people of society, that feel they have the right to determine what is right or wrong in this world. If that is how you see things then I do hope society does not ever go against what you deem good, for then you yourself will find yourself in a world of hurt and alone. Hugo, debating with emotion..lol..maybe because you wanted to change people so they would not be who they were. Maybe you egotisical mind has gotten the better of you, of course they will debate with emotion when you said to genetically alter the fetus' so that they would be hetrosexual instead of homosexual. If you are that nieve then i think you are way undereducated to be writing posts of this nature. NO matter how you write the post Hugo, maybe people rather not say anything, because you are just as closed minded as many others and instead ogf getting into it with you they are avoiding bringing themselves to your unintellectual level. If you are that egotisical to think they have nothing to say to this, then you need to alter your mind and let your head deflate a little bit.  |

I have been bi before. I have nothing against them. I have gay friends, I have nothing against them. God does, but I dont. Have I been forgiven of things that I have did against what God expects? yes I have. Do I have a beer when I feel like it, yes I do. Been smoking since I was 11 years old and too dang old to stop it now. does God understand? Yes, he does. NOW I'm sure I'll get a lot of flack from people because of the stuff I've just talked about and admitted. I'm human! and yes according to the word of God, the bible, HE did make adam and eve, he DID not make ADAm and steve. Now if we cant tease and play around LIKE a family here on usm then there are some seriouse problems here. Should I get offended because some people here on usm bash the heck out of me because I believe inthe LORD JESUS?? Sure osmetimes I do, when they go too far. I may be lots of things, I may have did lots of wrong things but I will tell you one thing, right here and right now, I'm not a liar. Everything I have ever said here on USM is the truth as I know it. I dont understand HOW someone can know me and call me self righteouse?? I'm the least self righteouse person that I KNOW OF. Do I have flaws? YOU bet I DO, I just listed some of my flaws that I have had in my life time. Until you or anyone else has walked a mile in my shoes, I dont think they have a right to judge me. I only have one to answer to, and that is my LORD and my God. Would you like me to list the things I've done in my life time that ARE NOT self righteouse?? I could but man it would take more room than USM has to offer. Do I drink often?? No I dont. I use to. I use to drink EVERY day and sometimes be drunk before noon because I had some problems in my life that I couldnt handle, everything happening at once. I was a drunk for three years and tried to *off* myself several times because I couldnt handle stuff. So if you want to think I'm self rightouse, or that my kids are, go ahead and think that.

The fact is genetic altering would most likely occur in the same stages of pregnancy as abortions are allowed. The difference is in one case a mother would be going through a procedure to enhance the fetus's life, in the other case to end it. Do not want to turn this into an abortion post.

You can not debate an issue on this site without someone being hurt. I am just pointing out an issue that is just around the corner. The technology is here, the genie will not go back in the bottle. Like atomic power, laser technology, germ research, the technology can be used positively or negatively. It is apparent that some of those who will allow a woman to terminate their pregnancy would prefer not to allow a woman to be allowed to have her child's genes manipulated. be it to eliminate a disease or influence a child's future sexuality.

A mother is told by a doctor her child will be severely retarded if the pregnancy is carried out without medical intervention. She is given three choices 1) proceed with the pregnancy and give birth to the child. 2) abort the pregnancy 3) a medical procedure that will give the child a chance for a normal life. If I am the parent of that child I would choose option three. Call that an evil, uneducated, hurtful opinion if you so like. Hugo |

Hugo, you may have started this post in jest, but a look at some of the responses has to make one wonder. I see a lot of people saying no way, and that it is wrong to alter what nature has created. If the question was "if it is determined that a fetus will be homosexual, and the technology was available to alter that", how many of those same people would be saying yes, most definitely? From the responses I have seen on other threads, I would say quite a few. ...<Warrior Spirit>  |

I dont think this world would be the same with out his gentle ways and sense of humor. His child like wonderment at life. He has, over the years learned how to conduct himself and take a little responsiblity for himself. He lives in a half way house, goes to work, and even has a girl friend. He is living life and enjoying it, probably better than me, he has less worries less stress. Smart people are not always the best people??  |
