  1. Went in a bar in Belgium at lunchtime, called the "Europeans' Bar".... had a drink.... didn't get thrown out. Looks like Brexit hasn't changed anything much for me yet.

  2.  @Tallboy74  You should be careful before saying what's "factually incorrect".... Animals do abort intentionally. Here's one example, but you can google it to find plenty more: https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/the-bruce-effect-why-some-pregnant-monkeys-abort-when-new-males-arrive So it's a "fact" that the foetus is alive, but it is not a "fact" that the "mother is being selfish": there can be many reasons for abortion. Do you think women should be unwilling baby factories? "Her body, her choice" is not "factually incorrect": it's an ethical standpoint, therefore cannot be considered factual or not.Whether you agree or not is irrelevant. There's no fact or fiction for such an argument. And that's a fact....!

  3.  @Tallboy74  You didn't read my post properly. I said there's no point in arguing about what's purely an ethical point of view because you won't change your mind. What I say is also that your opinion doesn't matter anyway, nor does mine. The only opinion that really matters is the mothers. I'll complete the sentence if you like, but it changes nothing.If a woman wants to abort, she will do it, whether legal or not, whether she has to travel to another state/country to do it or not. "it's OK to kill a baby in the womb when it's your womb and your baby, when for whatever reason you think you are not willing or able to give it a loving home". You think that sounds bad? Tough. Not your choice. Now, remember that what's considered "rape" goes beyond the stalker in the park and often occurs within marriage, so now finish my sentence: "I think it's ok to force girls and women to have successive pregnancies because..." You could also acknowledge that you were completely wrong about lack of examples in the animal kingdom; it would be polite.

  4. So what you're saying is... She shouldn't have to call the police if the police were all women and sarcasm was considered a masculine trait, but without making any broad generalisations?

  8.  ML8593wy  Oh... thought it was now. Never mind; I hope there'll be some agreements made so that I won't lose all I've contributed all my working life living in France! Hope the "leavers" will be satisfied now. Maybe they'll come to realize what they're losing....

  16.  @mety8174  Naa. I'm English and I live in France, so I've got a pretty good idea of what Europe is thanks.... and I don't get my weed from an Albanian village. Nor does anyone else I've ever met!

  17. So putting up a huge billboard and handing out leaflets or whatever is not "spitting (a) point of view"?
