THIS JUST IN! (Yesterday)
Doctors have removed 5 polyps from the President's colon yesterday. None appeared to be worrisome, doctors stated. During the procedure, which Bush was placed under general anesthesia, Dick Cheney became acting President, the second time he has done so. The previous occasion was in 2002, when Pres. Bush received a colonoscopy.
Stay tuned to www.newgrounds.com for the latest in Presidential colorectal health.

We're talking PE here, not Navy SEAL training. Of course, if a child has medical problems, there would be certain recommendations made.

We can't lose. We've already accomplished our mission. Typical of you left-wing America-haters to try to rewrite history to make it look like we're still fighting a war.

I agree, it is a solution. But it is not the best solution.
A small cut on your arm does not compare to the huge amount of emotional trama suffered by unwanted children in such horrible cases. Your parents beat you, drink in huge heaps and tell you without you their life could have meant something. Might not sound like much but it is. A small cut does not even begin to comapre.
How do you assume that, because a child wasn't expected, that he's going to be abused? Many people have children they weren't expecting, and don't abuse them
No, you do NOT instantly accept all risks. I get into the car, I know I might crash. Should I not get treated for my crash injury because I magically consented for it? That's what you're implying.
No, I have no problems with prenatal care of the woman.
Consent is for one thing and JUST that. No go on that one buddy. Consent to sex=/=consent to being pregnant.
Consent to sex does equal consent to being pregnant. Regardless of the precautions one may take.
If you consent to jumping out of an airplane, you consent to die by crashing to the ground, no matter how many reserve chutes you have.
You cannot say you do not consent to a consequence of an action when you know before hand that that action can lead to that consequence.
If the fetus voluntarily or not, is using a womans bodily resources without her permission it is a violation of her bodily integrity. Which, last time I checked I is against the law to violate. If it's the fetus' fault or not, it is still breaking the law. As such, the woman should have the right to abort.
If a fetus is human enough to have law apply to it, it is human enough to have the protections of law applied to it, too.
Wow.
You certainly have very vivid, detailed dreams. Better you than me.
My only dreams seem to be premonitions and repeating what I was doing that day.

No. But I am countering your claim that "saved" fetuses should be helped by those that want to save them.
No parental love and being told you're a mistake all your life isn't just "hardship" it's life scarring.
Someone cuts you with a knife on your arm. Would you rather have a disfiguring scar on your arm, or have it amputated? Are you claiming that a scarred life is worse than no life at all?
Uh, care to really explain the difference between unwanted fetii
The correct plural form is "fetuses". Look it up next time before you nitpick grammar.
and rapists? In the crime sense. The fetus may not be a person, or have the same legal standing, but it is still using the woman's body against her will. The only difference I see besides not being a person is one is for sexual means. Don't act like having something growing inside you aginst your will, sapping your energy and overall making you feel like shit for the whole time isn't a "teehee, now I have a baby which I will instantly love because welfare is a totally good means ofsupporting my newborn child."
A rapist needs no action by the a woman to attack and does so willingly, despite having the ability not to.
A fetus cannot form but for the actions of the woman impregnated. If a woman does not have sex a fetus cannot form. The fetus has no control over its surroundings, nor did it choose to come into existence.
Unlike rape, where there is no reasonable expectation that it will occur, a woman knows that, if they have sex, they can get pregnant. By doing so, they accept any and all risks associated with sex, including pregnancy.
...for a brand new religion to be accepted as a mainstream religion today? Suppose someone founded a religion tomorrow. What would it take to make that religion grow, in today's belief structure, to become as accepted as other mainstream religions? Is it even possible?

I once got a trojan that automatically installed an anti-virus onto my comp. I guess it's like doctors giving you sub-par cures to make you keep coming back (although I don't believe in that one)
I highly doubt that major anti-virus software companies would do that. I mean, it would be easier and cheaper just to overhype existing virus threats than to bother actually going out and making a virus. Moreover, if someone uncovered the plot, the PR would be a whole lot better for a company just overreacting (intentionally or not), than actively creating viruses.
Now these anti-viral software downloads that come with adware or are advertised in the same ad rotations as Shoot the monkey to win an IPOD! ads, anything goes.
2. The maker of the "I LUV U" virus suddenly dissapeared. Yes, the man who made a program that could launch nukes or destroy most of the internet dissapeared. I think the CIA or some other secret government agency pardoned him in exchange for his skills. So it's that he's so good, they pardon him for making a potentially destructive computer virus in exchange for him making viruses for THEM instead.
No more than giving criminals plea deals in exchange for testimony.

Who do you think pays for foster care, welfare, etc? Taxpayers.
I'd rather be aborted then brought up unwanted child really.
If you were aborted, you wouldn't have the choice.
You'd lack a lot of parental love, something noe one goes through in life unscratched.
Few people I know didn't face adversity growing up. In fact, those that didn't face adversity growing up have a harder time being responsible adults, I have found.
Abortions is NOT murder, it's self defense. In event of being attacked you'd use self defense. The fetus is using the woman's body without her permission, which is illegal and self defence up to and including death is mostly legal. I don't see why a fetus gets special treatment there.
?!?
That is unequivocally the most ridiculous and stupid line of reasoning for abortion I have heard in my life. Never, ever, have I heard someone essentially equate fetuses with rapists. Until now.

What is it about today's political climate that people just don't want to change the sheets?
Do you think PE might be more attractive to the people that need to be in PE (i.e. fatties) if they didn't have to dress out? After all, they would be the ones most likely to be teased in the locker room.

I'm trusting more the first response, because it had an example.
The first response is the correct one.

Step 1: Take the Wikipedia article on Newgrounds..
Step 2: Click a random link on that article.
Step 3: Click a random link on the article that comes up.
Step 4: Repeat Step 3 five more times.
Step 5: Note the article you end up on.
Step 6: Note the hilarity or strangeness of the relation of the result to the previous article.
Here's an example:
Newgrounds>Glenside, Pennsylvania>Race (United States Census)>Chinese American>Hiram Fong>Strom Thurmond>Rev. Al Sharpton>Mormonism
Newgrounds = Mormonism.

But not the same interaction. If I post something I write on the forum, it's because I want everyone to read it, not just the people I know.
If there is little discussion, it's not the author's fault, as long as he's put effort into the post to try to make it informative or entertaining.
Now, if you're talking about these childish "Oh I had p00p for breakfast it was good lol" stories, then by all means, move them to the user page, because they violated the rules before. But if effort and humor is put in in an obvious attempt to entertain, then there should be no changes.
RATE ______ and "advice" threads are generally disallowed and dodgy, respectively. Story threads are still up in the air.
Then they should be looked at thread by thread, not by making "some X are crap, so therefore, all X are crap generalization.

Surely you've been slightly bored here and have haphazardly poked to look at a few profiles. NOW these will actually have a whole new mini-BBS inside of 'em.
Then why have a forum at all, then?
I strongly disagree.
If you want to discuss or interact with people, it should go on the forums. Hence the term "forum".
Nothing that was okay to post in the forum before the redesign should be shunned afterwords.

Actually, if I remember correctly, I think that your experience is static now--that is, if you stop on level X, you stay at level X. They've ditched the old user-based system in favor of just more levels spread out further. That's why Pimp is only at level 50 out of 60.
By the way, why is the smiley that I'm using for this post called "thinking"? It looks more like a "I wear shades and I'm not ashamed" icon.
It replaced the old blue lightbulb icon.

I've noticed trying to go to the Xth page of the general forum, the link goes to www.newgrounds.com/X--a 404 page, rather than the Xth page of the forum.
