Off the top of my head? Only every "wise woman" in every community for most of the history of humanity.

I disagree. You have to research it, because everyone is afraid to talk about it logically or openly without emotion.

Sorry, language fail. I meant midwife. (Sage femme in French means midwife, but translates to wise woman.) Women have always been able to go to midwives for abortions. Not without shame or stigma, of course. But the knowledge has always been around.

Such women were referred to as wise women as well, and in the context of what you were saying it made perfect sense.

Midwives do not perform abortions in this country.

He was relieved when I miscarried and he had a vasectomy a few weeks later. Sometimes I feel very guilty, as I was raised Catholic. But most of the time I feel guilty that it doesn't bother me nearly as much as I think it should.

This is the first time I've admitted it to anyone.

not here to judge - just curious but how did you cause your miscarriage?

I researched it and bought the ebook from this site - http://www.naturalmiscarriage.org/

Basically, I took natural herbs and vitamins. Including adding a lot of Vitamin C power to my water. No, I don't know "for sure" that I caused it. But I did miscarry within a week and I've never had any misscarriages previously.

You know the difference between herbal and homeopathic, right?

wow. this is amazing...do you appear AA? Ahhh, sorry, that didn't come out the way I meant it. I just find this fascinating as to how people come to look the way they do...

The PP is 1/16 black. It's very doubtful that s/he looks black.

Personal experience from someone 1/16 black-I have the lips and the muscular build of a black person. I love it. No Botox, and I was a college athlete. Otherwise I am a nice olive color, super dark ash brown hair, bright green eyes.

You sound very beautiful physically, but it is sad that you believe black people are somehow naturally more muscularly built. My ancestors are German and many of them are built like plow horses, but I am thin, small boned, angular and tall. It has nothing whatever to do with my race, rather just my selected genes. Good grief, the ignorance.

Oh COME ON! It is no coincidence that black people dominate professional sports at much higer proportionate rate than any other race. Different races are built differently, this is not ignorance, but a glaring FACT.

Black people kick white people's asses all over the place in sports, even though they are at a socioeconomic disadvantage and probably do not benefit nearly as much as all the money that white parents through at their kids getting private coaching and instruction.

OF COURSE there are exceptions...Larry Byrd and such, but not many. Of course there are black people with poor muscle tone, no matter what they do, but as a whole black people are much stronger and more athletic than whites.

And the fact that black athletes dominate their sports mean that all black people have a muscular frame? WTF?

Do you think that Manute Bol, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Mike Tyson all have the same build? That Barack Obama and Clarence Thomas are superior athletes?

You are completely illogical.

I can name many fat, non-muscular black people... Oprah, Jennifer Hudson (before ww), Fat Joe, Rueben Studderd..... I mean, I can name MANY. I can also name naturally athletic WHITE PEOPLE.

Can we get back to our deepest secrets please? More interesting than fat, for the Lard's sake.

I don't think she was able to deal with the emotional burden, but thankfully, I have. It really sucked though - it was all over the news at the time, in the papers - enough said.

Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't have told my parents. But come to think of it, the police contacted her because I was taken to the hospital. I wish I could have carried the rape to my grave and not have told a single soul.

You could have kept it a secret and then hunted that animal down and castrated him. Then the police would have no idea who did it when they find him dead.

This is truly frightening that someone believes this in 2011. It's the kind of extreme racism that was used to justify slavery.

obviously sub-saharan people are, on average, much better at sports that require running sprints and jumping. pretty much every anthropologist agrees with that. how is that racist? is saying that the Dutch are the tallest people in the world racist? of course it isnt, but they are. Jamaica, for its populations, puts out an incredible number of olympic class sprinters.

by the way, this doesnt mean sub-saharan people are more muscular or more athletic.

Can you also say Asians are on average smarter? Is that racism against Asians or non-Asians?

well, you can say asians score higher on IQ tests than some other ethnic groups. however, we can debate the accuracy of IQ tests and the reasons behind it. I think sprinting and jumping competitions are more accurate than an IQ test.

For the love of Vishnu, let's please stop talking about race, unless you're telling a family secret about race. Start a new thread about it, but let's not ruin this one with the back and forth.

Pretty much which anthropologists? Name one.

My parents hid all the knives in our house when I was a teenager because they were afraid my brother might follow through on his threats to kill me. He was severely mentally ill, so I don't harbor anger towards him.

I had sex with my priest when I was 16.

A follow up on this. My parents aren't truthful about why they were committed. I'm not sure my siblings necessarily realize, but it wasn't just depression. The facts don't add up.

Are you worried about you or your kids inheriting the predisposition?

I'm not. I actually cannot figure out how two such borderline personalities produced several completely normal kids.

Well, if it was consensual...
