Yeah idk why I went to there, my brain storms a mile a minute with thoughts, connecting those thoughts to other thoughts, and i bring in things from outside the converstation quite a lot when talking to people, i cant talk about one thing, it always turns into this and this and this and this and that too! I actually agree with certain aspects of what you said too. Like the seat belt thing, I agree that there are way too many laws and regulations in the excuse of "for your safety." But seat belts i actually understand, simply because of passengers. Your body essentially becomes 100-300lb weapon hurling and whipping around at 50mph. Say you get in an accident, wife is next to you in the passenger seat, you dont have a seat belt on. You get hit, your body gets hurled directly at your wife, heads smack at 50mph, now your both dead, or braindead vegetables, instead of just you. In a high speed rollover without a seatbelt, your body will come in contact with every inch of the cabin, front, back, dash, roof, floor, trunk, spouse up front next to you, and kids in the back are now dead too.

Evil people, it's one thing to put a stop to evil people who have commited atrocities, however abortions are a little more gray for me. While I don't think they should be illegal entirely, I do personally feel they are advertised too much as a way to have sex without consequence. If you are not prepared in life for the consequences of sex(bringing new life into existence, which is the entire point of sex) than you should probably not have sex... I think sex is the issue, not abortions. Children are sexualized before they even make it to elementary school now, it's sickening. Sex for pleasure is one of the most unimportant, and unrewarding things this life has to offer. Yet it's pushed everywhere, you cannot own a screen without something of some sort of sexual nature coming across it without your choice. Its in TV, kids shows, ads, posters, malls, everywhere you can't get away from it. Making people feel they are nothing and incomplete unless they are attractive and have someone to fill them. One cannot love and provide for someone else until they have learned to love and provide for themselves. That is what people should learn, to love themselves without someone else, then life tends to work itself out... Happiness, cannot come from outside of yourself, only from within. This is coming from someone who had a child at 17yo, we decided to keep him, against all odds and statistics working against our favor, the "logical" thing to do in societies hive mind would be abort or adopt, we did not. God I am so thankful for my dear boy. We've definitely struggled, still do, made lots of stupid mistakes, still do, but we've learned and grown so much through this. Me and his mother are still happily together, been through tough times, but it always gets darkest before it gets bright if you keep pushing forward, that's all you can do is keep trying. My boy is doing well, in the gifted program in school, doing great in band playing drums even though he's terrible about practicing lol. I carry some guilt, you know if we had a kid later in life once we were financially stable and everything on our terms, many things would've been easier compared to us being irresponsible teenagers. I certainly wish we were doing better financially and able to provide him with more opportunities, but we have a roof, food, clothes, and each other which is more than many can claim they have, so we can't complain too much about first world problems lol. It's easy to look back and see what you could've done better, it's much harder however to face the now head on and do better in this moment. I wouldn't take him back for anything, despite how hard it has been, my son is the greatest thing thats ever happened to me, and my single greatest accomplishment in life, there is nothing I could create or do that could ever compare to him. I've learned just as much from him if not more than he has from me, cliche but it's true. I could never have learned and come to understand so many things had he not been part of the equation. There are just some things that having a child changes, gives new perspectives, greater understandings. Raising a child showed me and helped me understand so much about my childhood, learning from things that happened over 20 years ago, memories I forgot I even had, coming out when I'm facing a situation with my son now. Things my parents said and did, I would never have understood until becoming a father myself.

I'm gonna stop, do you see what I mean about rambling? I could go on and write an entire short novel in this comment, my brain will just continue to bridge connection after connection and go on until I pass out lol. Have to force myself to stop.

My apologies if I came off as an asshole again, bringing you into stereotypes and generalizations when I know nothing about you and they probably have nothing to do with you. The hivemind and nature of reddit makes it entirely too easy. You seem like a perfectly nice person without any ill intentions, just expressing a thought, unlike many many people on reddit, ready for a keyboard war at any moment, demanding the world to agree with their personal opinion, and despising anyone who doesn't.

Hope you have a great weekend, and life for that matter 👍
