Mission: Complete
I finally finished downloading the Korean drama series "Full House" last night. I stayed up till 2:30 in the morning just to finish, while watching bits and pieces of the good parts. Even though last night and this morning I was exhausted, tired, grouchy, hungry, and had to wake up by 7:00 the next day.....it was so well worth it! The story is so simple and it's such a great romance series it would make any chickie swoon. I suppose Rain, the lead male, was such a jerk in the beginning. I mean, if he was nicer and came to his senses the series would have lasted 8 or 9 chapters instead of the 16 haha! But nevertheless, it was a beautiful story, with the perfect ending. I wouldn't want it any other way! I'll try to get done my lab today so I can run home and watch it, from the beginning to end. I can't wait!
In the news today, I read that the Alberta government passed a new law concerning accidents. From now on, if the accident involves a pregnant women, and the fetus is hurt and damaged, the child can later on sue the mother for damages. I find this incredibly distrubing. Click *here* for the story.
I think this is a story horribly gone wrong. An "accident", defined by dictionary.com is one that "An unexpected and undesirable event, especially one resulting in damage or harm:". Since when did mothers purposely and forcibly decide to harm their unborn child? No one wants to be in an accident, pregnant moms or not. Somethings you cannot control, and therefore happen. There are some mothers out there that do have children which are born with physical problems, but that does not deter those mothers from loving their child, and giving them everything they can, under the circumstances. And now children are allowed to sue their mothers because of this?
I always upheld the law as something that protects the innocent from the guilty, and those who are punished are the ones that morally did something wrong, with motive. From my point of view, pregnant moms perhaps did do something wrong (like get into an accident)..but is with a motive? No, of course not. Therefore, I don't think they deserve this harsh punishment, especially from your own children.
I honestly think the government is wasting their time with this pathetic law. I can't believe that something like this is passed. It really makes me question society, and makes me question how children are supposed to be taught obedience, love and respect to parents under these kind of conditions. It even makes me wonder if in the near future if I want to have children, since it seems that if I am not the perfect parent, I can be sued any other circumstance by my own children that I bear and raised and loved my whole life.
Well in my opinion...this is just pointless pointless. Is this what Alberta politicians do when they have a billion dollar surplus? Sit on their asses and figure out dumb laws? My goodness..!
Anyways, enough of the rant. I'm off to do my Chem lab!

Kare,
Man, that article made me SO angry; this is by far the most retarded thing I've ever heard of. Its like we've reverted to a society where everyone feels the need to blame someone else for all the misgivings in their life. For goodness-sakes, an accident is an accident, nobody wanted it to happen. And if the accident was major enough to cause major damages to the fetus, there was probably a great deal of damage done to the mother too! Talk about adding insult to injury. The politicians who approved this law should be smacked atop their heads by their mothers. As far as I'm concerned, 9 months of carrying you in their body and then hours of labor is enough of a payback.
Fuming Sorpie.

Hiya girly!
I think that law is really strange - if they allow kids to sue their parents over birth defects caused by accidents, then they ought to include smoking, drinking, etc while pregnant =P But we have a lot of retarded laws nowadays so I'm sure that if enough people petition against it, then these policymakers will rethink these decisions that they are enforcing upon society!
