    The catch is that limits have to be right. If they are too restrictive, then population aging takes place.

    You’re being very logical but totally unpsychological. When you’re very poor you lose hope. My husband grew up in the worst poverty and he dropped out of high school because he knew he could never go to college. He ended up retiring in his 40s and would be the first want to tell you had he not been a white male he never would’ve had the opportunities he had on Wall Street. Unfortunately none of his male siblings were able to get beyond their despair

    I am not buying that fairy tale

    Your husband had no education, but Wall Street was so desperate for white guys that they welcomed him with open arms as an alternative to hiring a black person with formal training in finance?

    I dont think do

    I agree. I am also pro-choice, but oppose late term abortion. Except in cases where the mothers health is at risk or the viability of the fetus is in question, I truly believe that abortions should only be allowed in the first trimester. Abortion should NOT be allowed as a means of birth control. Simply changing one's mind about wanting a child is not an reason for terminating a pregnancy late term. I would think that in extreme cases such as incest or rape, the woman would know she wanted to terminate right away.

    I am trying to recall any job I held where color mattered.
    Phone company No blacks worked there
    Construction as a pile driver I remember 2 of them being black We had well over a hundred men at the firm. As to the laborers, I was a foreman over some of them. i just do not recall my labor force being blacks. I saw blacks of course. They looked nice handling a shovel.
    My machine shop. Sorry no blacks ever came there to work. I did buy from a black things like special calendars. A very nice black used to chat with me on conditions for blacks. But I was who brought that up.
    Real estate company , A corporation ... I never had a black seek a job
    Real Estate firm past my divorce ... No blacks wanted a job either (i still own this firm)
    Appraisal firm I owned I had a black from Kenya (remind you of Obama?) that worked for my company for a few weeks. He showed up one day begging for money for jobs he did not finish. Probably to pay his rent. He never came back with the appraisals nor to pay me back.
    Mortgage firm. I hired a black from Nigeria. He mostly was a nice person. He too wanted to borrow money. A woman appraiser was silly enough to loan him money.

    As clients, i have have blacks as clients. I recall one black buyer that was in the Navy on an aircraft carrier who had no degree. The rest of my black clients all had degrees. One has a doctors degree and one had a Masters. One a bachelors from a local university. His brother played for the Redskins and had not finished college. I sold him a home and later sold it for him to a buyer.

    That is about it.

    ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Sigh))))))))))))))))))))

    Please show me one piece of evidence that indicates late term abortions are done for anything other than foetal abnormality or maternal ill health. There is an occasional later term abortion, beyond 16 weeks where the woman either did not know she was pregnant or could not access abortion services or, like the little eleven year old in Argentina , was in a horrific situation The vast majority of abortion ARE first term abortions

    It pings me off that the anti abortion crowd have been so successful in spreading this bit of bullshit about healthy women demanding abortions “so they can fit into the swimsuit” :roll:

    That is your trouble my friend. I enjoy explaining. I do not get offended until you show your face to rant about me.

    Well ask me about abortions. My first wife had one. Later it came to pass my sister informed me the aborted baby was not mine, but a black mans baby. Guess he felt my family needed to be black. She was the mother of the below daughter.

    A daughter called me in an emergency. She was hiding in her boyfriends home and he got her pregnant. She of course told him and he ordered her out of his house. His mom ensured my daughter was tossed into the street. So being big hearted,. i took her phone call and agreed to pick her up and she moved in with me. I had the duty of taking care of her. (she refused to tell her own mother) She had no money so i got tagged to pay for the abortion. She thanked me for it by returning to him once she had the abortion. She later bore him a daughter. (Why do these boys bed down the girl, knock her up and kick her out? Why will a girl then go right back to the scum bag? She to this day did not divorce him. She lives with a guy though.

    Oh then there is Jan. She called me from the Lab one day to say we had to meet. We met at a local restaurant and she told me she was pregnant. i told her I wanted our child. nope she says, not at her age. She did not want me to find out the clinic, (planned parenthood, what a joke, it was planned abortions) At the clinic she called me to get picked up. We later picked up her car once she recovered the abortion. She stayed at my home to recover. i took good care of her.

    Ask me why i am sick to death of abortions.

    I am not a snow flake. I told only truth about blacks I hired or worked around. Sorry your feelings got hurt. Got anything you can drink to lighten your load?
    Do you think I wanted to offend Blacks so you had to leap in?

    I have learned from you mostly how darned bigoted Australians can be when they want to. You read a simple description of workers i hired and just had to sound offended?

    “”Snowflake”??? You DO know that has a different meaning elsewhere don’t you?

    I am merely educating someone who seems unable to use language that embraces differences instead of highlighting them

    Women can only have late term abortions for the reasons you stated . Why would a woman use abortion and all the pain and discomfort as birth control?

    So your ex “got pregnant with a black guy because he he felt your family needed to be black?” Interesting take. I would wonder what I was lacking that she needed to go to another man. This reminds me of trump, never looking at himself

    I know so! My husband started as a clerk in the back office and when he was given the chance to go down on the trading floor there were no black people. This is going back a long time ago. When the awareness that there were no women and black traders they hire these minorities. , my husband trained a black guy who went on to open a minority and woman owned firm. My husband helped him set it up.
    The fact that you don’t believe the story is true because it shows how far we’ve come that you think it’s unbelievable

    I have learned not to treat liberal tall tales as non fiction

    And I wont accept it as evidence for a liberal position during a debate
