That's okay, even politics isn't an American invention. |

| Looks like the most effective and reliable thing to do is to get your body to metabolize it out of your system faster, or at least never swallow any garlic. https://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(99)70416-6/fulltext Furthermore, aggressive oral hygiene did not prevent the expulsion of ally... |

| Just decided that yes, I will include this personal experience; And then there were the militant abortion activists who told me to my face that with having autism and 3 minor birth defects I should have been aborted since I can't add as much to society as a fully healthy baby would grow up to do.

| Now that the pizza for late lunch is done I'll finally give personal input on the when does human life begin question. and it might or might not be directly or indirectly influenced by my being a Christian and by Bible content. In order for a thing to begin it has to arise from a place of not that t... |

| I miss a civil dialogue on this topic, too. Where I live, it's illegal to abort even a lethally damaged fetus that is known to be unable to survive birth. That's not pro-life, that's pointless cruelty. A couple things are brought in from memory by that. I have seen and heard people say, and sometim... |

| It isn't yet the past tense 'did' but there is a frozen pizza cooking. My body is being difficult but I wanted out in the warmish-sunshine for at least a little bit so I walked across street to grocery store and bought a Palermo rising crust supreme.

| I've never heard of most of these commentators. I expect those would be the ones from the 1700s and 1800s. There seems at times to be an attitude in the Anglo-saxon western world that nobody applied any intellect, or even had enough intellect available to apply, to Bible study and analysis before t... |

I just had to go look up what aphorism means!
