Life Doesn't Begin At A Heartbeat, It Begins Even Earlier

Trillions of potential lives are needlessly lost every day and no one seems to care. I think everyone can agree that life is precious and it is our responsibility that all life is treated equally, including sperm. Yes, that's right, sperm. From the Greek, sperma, meaning "seed". Sperm is the most essential ingredient in the recipe of life and without it, none of us would be here. For it is the sperm that fertilizes the egg, not the other way around. Competition is fierce and sadly "of the billions of sperm released during the reproductive life of a human male, only a few ever manage to fertilize an egg." In each and every one of those sperms there is the potential for life. Why are we letting this happen? How many lives have been lost in socks, or bath towels, or tissues? How many more are going to die needlessly in the throes of passion? The answer should be NONE and if you disagree, you are complicit in murder!

For perspective, consider that there are over 100 million males in the United States alone. Further, the average male ejaculation contains between 40 million and 1.2 billion sperm cells. Additionally, the average male has intercourse a few times a month and masturbates with the same frequency, making the number of innocent lives lost in each ejaculation incalculable. Indeed, every ejaculation, whether during intercourse or masturbation, is a veritable genocide of potential lives, in numbers that would embarrass Stalin. Moreover, think of the great minds we are potentially losing. The next Einstein could be circling a drain as I write this and we'll never know.

What can be done?

First, I propose a ban on masturbation as well as intercourse. Men should only be able to ejaculate at a sperm bank where their emission can be safely stored and used to fertilize eggs. Eggs that females will be required to surrender monthly. Remember, only one sperm can fertilize an egg. Therefore, the government must maintain strict control of all sperm and eggs produced by the population. If we do not take these drastic measures, trillions upon trillion of potential lives will be lost.

Legislation needs to be swift and the enforcement of these laws must be comprehensive. Anyone who fails to adhere to the law should be punished to the maximum extent. Which, in this case, needs to be sterilization. While sterilization may seem a bit rigid, it is important to think of what is at stake here, precious human lives. Furthermore, there will be no exception for men who prematurely ejaculate or experience wet dreams. Murder is murder.

In summary, we must be more careful with the tools of life that god has given us. The only way to ensure this happens is through governmental restriction and punishment. For we are a Christian nation, founded on Christian values, governed by Christians who know what is best for all of us!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
