F is for friends who do stuff together.
U is for "U" and me.
N is for "N-ywhere and anytime at all.
Down here in the deep blue sea!
Everybody loves Sponge Bob. His cuteness, his fuzziness, his laugh, and his show.
But there is a message behind this silly, childish song. These funny, G-rated lyrics prove a very powerful message, despite the circumstances.
I shall now divide the song into letters, to prove a point for all three, and how it relates to the relationship I want us to have with the pro-choicers of - Not only Gaia! But - the world.
F
"F is for friends who do stuff together..."
Because it is. From what I've seen in some debate threads/guild - both Lifers and Choicers - this is how the song goes:
F is for pro [insert "life or "choice" here] friends, who do stuff together..."
Difference? Yeah.
In other words, we cannot limit our friendlist to only Lifers, or only Choicers, only this, or only that.
It's prejudiced, and we all know it. Lifers and Choicers have one thing in common: We fight for eqaulity, regardless of our definitions of the matter. But that's for debate. Not here. Not now.
Bashing against someone for their beliefs, regardless of what they are, is contradicting what you are trying to enforce in the first place: fair treatment.
U
"...U is for 'U' and me..."
You AND me. Choicers AND Lifers.
This part of the song represents how people need to hold hands and smile at one another because of the quality of their friendship. Not their beliefs. Not their moral values. Not by the number of people they've slept with, their academic abilities, their clothes, NOT EVEN THE WAY THEY LIKE THEIR ORANGE JUICE.
Some people like orange juice with pulp; some don't.
Some people believe abortion is acceptable in today's society; some don't.
But if this portion of the song were re-written to describe the feelings between Choicers and Lifers, this is how the silly tune would go, peeps:
"U is for 'U' better be pro [insert "life" or "choice" here] to hang out wit meeee!"
First of all, the first version sounded 10x better, wouldn't you agree? Secondly, the first version is stating a very good point.
"'U' and me" does not separate parties, individuals, or moral standpoints. "'U' and me" knows that two negatives make a positive in mathematical or scientific viewpoints, but when it comes to negative vibes towards two or more parties... only negative may result.
N
"N is for 'N-ywhere' and anytime at all, down here in the deep blue sea!"
Anywhere and anytime. What does this mean?
It means that, regardless of the conditions, dangerous situations, and touchy issues, the light of friendship always shines down on the darkest differences.
It means that debate remains friendly, and mature, and sensible. It means that there is no demand for higher authority, whether it be Moderators or even a police officer, to keep you from knocking each others' lights out. (Verbally, or physically.)
Most importantly, it means that with friendship, comes a
U is for "U" and me.
N is for "N-ywhere and anytime at all.

Most importantly, it means that with friendship, comes a
little
thing called RESPECT. And with a little thing called RESPECT, comes a
BIG
thing called COMPROMISE.
As long as we're scowling at each other, as long as we're rolling our eyes at each other, as long as we're singing Plankton's version of the "F.U.N. Song":
"F is for fire, burning down the whole town!
U is for uranium bombs!
N is for no survivors -"
[insert Sponge Bob's interruption of telling Plankton he's too pessimistic]
... as long as all these things are happening, think about it: No differences are going to be made.
As long as we hate each other, no advances in technology will come to reality. Alliances will tear, and it'll eventually turn into a re-make of kindergarden: Who wants an oatmeal raisin cookie, and who wants a sugar cookie.
And, in time, the teacher, of course, will get fed up. Our will to succeed will die away. No one will get their cookie, no one will want to make a REAL difference.
Our future, without the involvement of mind-changing discoveries in abortion, will only be a cheap gang-war movie.
And as far as I know, I can count on one hand how many of us - Notice, I said US. "'U' is for you AND me!" Everyone is, somehow, to blame. - have made a difference - A REAL difference. - in someone's mind, but not by using curse words or profanity, but with kindness and explanatory methods.
So come on, ya'll. Let's sing the F.U.N. Song. You and me, now. Choicers, and Lifers out there. The way Sponge Bob Squarepants INTENDED it to be.
F is for friends who do stuff together.
U is for 'U' and me.
N is for 'N-ywhere' and anytime at all -
Down here in the deep blue sea!"
