assistant: Okay, I have 2 problems with this  Hear me out:
        1.  Anti-abortion shouldn't be a business.
        2.  If they're breaking the law, they SOULD end up subject to
persecution by law enforcement agencies.  I've seen many protests, and while
I don't agree with pro-abortion people, many people protesting against them
either come close or flat out break the law.  Sorry, but nobody, even a
religious organixation should be allowed to break the law like that.  I do
believe there is a scripture that commands us to obey the law of the land.
Peace.

Write your reply.

assistant: You might want to rethink.  There are times where you
might need to fire more rounds.  Such as if you are
caught in the open and your attacker is under or very
close to cover.  To drive him under cover while you
reach cover you would have to fire some (several?)
semi-aimed rounds at him while you move.  After
reaching cover you can reload.  This is a fairly
standard drill in most places.
Another is if you are in a closed environment
(restaurant, office, etc.) where you can not retreat
nor get help quickly.  In an attack here you may face
more then one attacker or an attacker with several
weapons or reloads.  If you work in an office I suggest
you keep a spare mag or two in your desk for this
reason.  Also you should try drawing and firing toward
the door from your desk (after hours unless you have a
very understanding staff).  The chair, the desk, the
CPU, the monitor and several other things can cause
problems that could cost you your life if the stinky
stuff hit the fan.
If you are in or work near any type of law related
office I STRONGLY recommend this.  The fact is people
in these offices tend to have at least one side, some
times both sides, involved in the argument mad at them.
Some of them mad enough to try to do bodily harm to
everyone involved.
Ok I'll get off my soap box now and return you to your
regularly scheduled drivel.

assistant: retended
True but the percentage of 'loose' women has grown
dramatically.  If you define 'loose' women by if their
children are born in or out of wedlock the number goes
through the roof.
Why?  Well I think the major problem is changes in
governmental rules and programs.  Think about a couple
of things:
1.   Two single people can take a larger deduction on
     their income tax then a married couple.  An
     incentive to not get married.
2.   A single mother can get benefits for her child but
     if she marries the father she loses those
     benefits.  An incentive to not get married.
3.   The more children a single mother has the more
     benefits (money, food stamps, etc.) she gets.  An
     incitive to have more and more children.
4.   A single mother who goes to work at an entry level
     job loses benefits worth more then the money she
     brings home from that job.  An incitive not to
     work.
And people wonder why there are so many people on
government assistance.

Good move.
Remember the two rules for arguing -- uh discussing something with the wife:

The same thing can be saud of the music back in the 50's and 60's.
I remember songs from then that seemed to glorify suicide, death and
olence.
I don't remember the exact years, or the artists, but it was ib the late 50's
or early 60's for these songs:
Patches
Teen Angel
Leader of the Pack.
These three come to mind immediately, and if I find a list of songs from that
era, I will list some more.
That is a normal, unfortunately, aspect of teen life.
They have no respect for almost everyone at that age.

That has always been the case.
