Day 2:

Question to both of you: You have been hired to represent a group of renegade old-timer BS members disenchanted with all the new rules and the autocratic ways of dispensing them among the mango people. Don't know what I'm talking about? You know...the X quotes per post, you cannot post this...no such and such allowed...only 1 poll per day...1 per member per week...no this...no that...no farting...no smiling...no LOLing...if you do this, I will give you a warning...watch it, you are testing my patience...wagera wagera wagera! Now...both of you are nothing if not logical & humorous. Post a minimum 100 word note to the wannabe powers about how controlling people with rules went out of fashion...well...well...well before World War II ended and this new environment is a big time buzz kill!

Air kisses ala KJo style,
Jojo/Wet Spring

Nice answers taco but they just arised more questions - for both hades & Tacs
A) Your views on abortion? I am pro-choice for many reasons, but I'll do my best to condense things. Firstly, the ability of human beings to have control of their bodies is crucial to civil rights. When you take away a woman's right to exercise her reproductive choice, you're denying her a very basic tenet of civil rights. Secondly, it is a solution for those who get pregnant due to the result of a crime like rape or incest. To expect a woman to keep the baby in such a case will only worsen her ongoing mental trauma. And then you have many other scenarios like a mother's mental/physical defects, an unborn child's birth defects, poverty, etc.- in which case it would be better IMO if the child wasn't brought into this world and made to live a life full of hurdles and nothing but.

That said, prevention is always better than cure.

B) If 2 adults have consensual sex but by sheer ignorance/accident there is a bun in the oven , who is responsible , the man or the woman or would you blame it on fate ? If it's ignorance in the truest sense of the word: both are equally responsible because both failed to remain informed, think of the consequences, and take suitable measures to prevent conception. Don't jump into something if you are ignorant about it. If it's an accident: Either both are responsible, or both can't do anything about it. I believe in destiny, not fate. These things happen, but you can never be too safe to be sorry. There are certain factors that contribute to the failure rates of contraceptives. Knowing about them/using more than one measure would decrease the chances of 'accidents'.

C) If the adults are reponsible why is a child even if its as small as a molecule being punished by killing it I think the more prudent question here would be: What to you is a greater 'punishment'- a fetus (potential human being) being terminated, or a mother keeping a fully sentient unwanted child?

D) your views on single mothers ? Are they to be tagged responsible for taking up the responsibiloty of the child or called irresponsible for having the child in first place I don't believe in labeling people in such cases, but I think it would be a bit of both. That said, a woman can be responsible even if she chooses not to keep the child.

E) Do you agree with the religious shades that abortion & family planning get not only in India but all over the world? Not at all. Religion should be kept as far away from such things. It's always been the downfall of humans IMO.

F) If you were to do an episode of satyameva jayate what would it be about I'd like to see 3 issues being discussed- (1) Our lack of civic sense: Nothing irks me more than seeing people littering, spitting, and defecating on the roads. People just don't take cleanliness in public places seriously. (2) Animal rights/ animal cruelty: Can't help but get mad at the hypocrisy here. Worshipping vahanas, cows, unicorns, or what have you is one thing, and being compassionate to them in real life is another. Most people here have no respect at all for animals. It makes me sick. (3) Obsession with fair skin.

G) Do you think as a woman you have all the rights equal to a man , if no what are the rights you would like to have The right for any woman not to be called a 'wh**e' or 's**t' when she has multiple partners. Guys are 'studs' or 'players' when they do.

H) Does marraige really curtails freedom of a woman At the risk of deviating, it depends on what kind of freedom we're talking about here. Freedom to do what you want when you want? Freedom of having no additional/domestic responsibilities? Freedom to be romantically involved with anybody? If so then all these apply to men too, not just women. If you were referring to certain cultures- yes, married women in some societies have restricted freedoms.

I)What would your ideal man look like, sketch his characteristics Tall, well-built, clear/good skin, a well-defined jaw and chin, nice teeth, curly hair 😳. No chiknas please 😆

J)you beleive in the bollywood formula Love happens only once No.
