actually the bathtub can be full of water. infants know how to swim, they will have no problems getting to the surface and chilling about there.

And the uranium shells causing health damage? Please, that is totally unrealisitc. You could sleep with them in your underpants for what its worth, lol, and still ahve perfectly healthy children.

I have to say that was the most well thought-out thing I’ve read all summer. Although hypothetical, both situations do seem incredibly feasible. I think we’re heading towards 2 until the 2012 election when Ron Paul gets elected. But, after that, I say we’re on Track #1.

It is impossible. Every US presidential election in the 20th century(and 21st), the more charismatic candidate has won. And Ron’s pretty bad in that area.

And once it can be done cheaply there won’t be much point in having a baby the natural way anymore, with the exception of the nostalgic reasons why some women have births at home today.

You know, those “nostalgic reasons” are more powerful than capitalism. Take religion, for example.

Buddha, born 563 B.C.

Confucius, born 551 B.C.

Jesus, born 0 A.D.

Muhammad, born 570 A.D.

Despite the fact that these men were born thousands of years ago, they each have followings of literaly billions of people. Ideas and traditions really don’t change very much over time.

Of course not. The baby spent ~9 month swimming, having the lungs filled with liquid since their development. The baby still gets oxygen through umbilical cord until it is severed.

Now that’s screwed up.

As a prophet you will never make a living in both a free society or facism.

The nostalgic reasons ARE capitalism. We are using “capitalism” to mean “everyone is free to do whatever they want within the bounds of their own property” right?

I thought women had babies at home because if you have the baby in the bathtub its like 70% less painful? And better for the baby b.c. warm water cushions them and keeps them warm. This is what my girlfriend says.

I think I’ve heard of that somewhere before, but every woman I know who’s had a home birth didn’t do it in the tub, so it’s obviously not the only reason.

Your are not completely right. Yes, “You could sleep with them in your underpants for what its worth, lol, and still ahve [sic] perfectly healthy children” but that is not the problem with depleted uranium ammunition. The problem is when the bullets[DU] strikes against an object at high speeds including when it is shot out of the barrell.
