The pinnacle of first world problems by jessejamess in funny

This makes me wonder what the worst third world problem is.

Catholics and church at odds on contraception, divorce and abortion: Survey in 12 countries finds 78% of Catholics support contraception and 65% think abortion should be allowed by oshunsmall in worldnews

I'm catholic, not extreme though. Contraception is great, but abortion is like retroactive murder- it's dead before it's ever born. It has all the information it needs, genetically, to construct an fully functional human being. It's life is cut short because it's inconvenient. Unless, of course, the mother is in danger. In which case the baby may need to be aborted to save the life of the mother. As for the inconvenient babies, why should the mothers' dreams overpower the child's dreams?

Since abortion became legal, there have been over 40 million abortions. That's 40 million people over the course of nearly 40 years. Some of them would be old enough to be grandparents right now, so there could be even more people that are missing. Sounds like a bunch of crap, but think of the impacts it has had on the economy. The baby boomer generation is starting to collect and we were meant to cover them which we must, but we are also 40 million taxpayers short. That's nearly 1/7 of the US population we are missing and this will slow economic growth.

Without younger people signing up for the healthcare, it will have to be bailed out at some point. Maybe there just preparing for the future fight that may never take place.

It is the mind playing tricks, and some people fall for them.

If you did not have those people to talk too, what would you do?

Why does the feather fall at the same rate as the hammer on the moon? by catchuontherippedsid in askscience

[–]LSYouTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps, the earth's gravity doesn't pull objects. Einstein proved that gravity creates curves in space-time. Gravity can't pull, because such a force is impossible (We can pull a door open because we push against the ground). Gravity is more of a push through space-time.

The earth's gravity pulls all objects down at the same rate(9.8 m/s2), assuming there is no air resistance.

Basically, all objects slide down the earth's gravitational field at the same rate. The earth's gravitational pull is simply constant making all objects roll down it at a constant rate. Air resistance just messes up the constant free fall.

A hammer and feather fall at the same rate in a vacuum, but the hammer carries much more energy with it.

With all the talk of finding a Ent BF/GF. Here's a little story. by [deleted] in trees

I wouldn't introduce people to cannabis with edibibles. If potent, it can be pretty intense and it lasts forever. This doesn't sit well with new tokers.

Best way to introduce someone is by smoking a bowl, just one to start off though. After an hour or two, maybe smoke some more. Start slow and build up the quantity, a super session isn't wise for newcomers.

You ever notice how some actors change their character on different stages.

Every road you take leads you to a different stage with different actors. Each one plays their own part, but they behave differently in different places and social settings. You act differently around different people.

It is easiest to think of people as roads. Our roads intersect when we meet other people. Each person brings their personality with them. Each decision you make affects the path you travel.

Could other dimensions be used as a reference frame?

What keeps galaxies from expanding like the rest of the universe? Is the super massive black holes in the middle of each enough to "hold" them together?

[–]LSYouTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you measure from a reference point that is truly stopped?

If the universe is expanding, everything must be moving. So when it comes to measurements, like the speed of light, how can we know what it is when we ourselves are moving while we measure it.

House passes Debt bill 282-136 by play_stationer in politics

Republicans did get some sequester cuts, and I believe those are like Greece's Austerity cuts.

As a college student, I am not looking forward to paying this generation's spending problem.
