I didn't mean that the blood and the land were connected to each other, I was trying to say how different people have different connections to stuff. I'm not great at the whole debating thing, sorry!

I guess you are right about the wider society telling you you must always be grateful, and that sucks. I hope never to put that trip on anyone.

My Mum has never said it, but I know in her position I would have had an abortion when she got pregnant with me. So weirdly I have my Mum's fundie pro-life beliefs to thank for being alive... which some people think MUST mean that I should be pro-life as well, heh.
