not really come to. There hasn't been a year in 200 years that the US hasn't been in a war somewhere. And it's never been about helping anyone except the American elites and business interest.

Name a war that countries didn't participate in, that didn't involve self-interest (besides being attacked)? Certainly not Russia in WWII.
 
We can have a long discussion on why Russian international involvement isn't 1% as bad.

But my point is simply to address the misconception I often hear which was mentioned. The notion that America should stop trying to help others and focus on issues at home.

Hahaha, ok. I'm still waiting for the answer to naming a country that doesn't benefit from wars besides the US. We are evil.

my mom is in hungary and she had a tour guide that said they were forced to learn russian in school growing up. i'm pretty sure we never forced anyone to learn to speak russian.

We all have various opinions about drugs and drug use. Some feel it should be an individual right, some feel some drugs are ok while others are crossing a line while still others are anti-drugs all-together. Regardless of your personal choice about individual circumstances, Im curious what some of you feel about a specific scenario.

A female heroin (it could be crack, meth or any number of other drugs) addict is pregnant.

Example 1: She has the baby while continuing to use and the baby is born damaged.
Example 2: She is forced into treatment but the strain of detox causes a miscarriage.


In either of the two given examples several moral, ethical and legal issues can arise.

In Example 1 if either authorities or even society stands by and allows this to happen arent they just as guilty of neglect as the woman is of child endangerment? Even if a legal definition of child endangerment excludes a fetus (I dont have a legal precedence so maybe Boner knows)? Should the woman be criminally charged, if so then to what degree?

In Example 2 the state steps in and forces the woman into detox. Could they or should they be allowed to do so without any an actual criminal act? Certainly it is ethically wrong for an addict to subject an unborn child to the potential harms of her addictions but is it illegal? So if the state was to take measures and those measures resulted in a miscarriage even though the intentions were to try and save the unborn child should they be liable?

Maybe some might think sterilization is the answer but what if that person was to get clean and stay clean later? Did she forfeit her right to be a mother during the time she was using and therefore be held accountable for the rest of her life?

I'm not sure Wal. I didn't think about this at all and I'm just not sure. When I think about it less I'll let you know what I think then. But until then ...well.....I'm just not sure sir.

Fuck this one is hard!!!!
