No more people = no more world going to shit.

On the contrary to abortion being harmless... if everyone was aborted it would solve all the world's problems. Even Stalin wasn't wrong about everything:

"Death solves all problems - no man, no problem."
― Joseph Stalin

It's just that killing is the wrong way to go about it. Don't have to be pro-death to be anti-life. No one being born = no one being born to fuck up the world.

Yes, ok, but it is categorically wrong to say it isn't harmful to anyone. It's harmful to fetuses.

Doubt if an abortion hurts any more than a circumcision and there aren't any lingering side effects like nightmares.  Angel

False analogy. I already have a life, memories, hopes and dreams.

So my question is this: in what ways do your own ideas differ from the society you are currently in? How closely do you feel attuned to it? What do you think should be viewed more favourably, and what do you think deserves more scorn?

Define society.

The norms of my house (a society of 4) differ from the norms of my neighborhood, which differ from the norms of my city, which differ from the norms of my country, ................

I attune my norms to operate at my comfort level with in the context.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
