Anyway, I'm in 10th grade, and I have a terribly shitty biology teacher. Mr. Richardson. The other day, I got in a huge fight with him over something that nobody should ever have to argue with anyone whose life is devoted to science--we argued creationism.

First, he started giving us a little spiel about how, as soon as a sperm cell and an egg cell meet, "that's you, that's a little baby." That pissed me off majorly, because I'm one of those pro-choicer baby-murdering motherfuckers. So I told him, "No, Mr. Richardson, actually you are wrong." It's about the ballsiest thing I've ever said to a teacher. I was very proud.

He didn't like that. Then we got into fetuses.

maybe you were trying to discuss something else and you call it 'life'.
do you think you meant soul instead?
coz the two things are mixed; sometimes we say life and we want to say soul, or at least try to express what that concept might be.
