I think it is immoral for me to tell others whether they should think that painlessness is more important than life. I completely respect if other people do not share that view, and I personally do think that painlessness is more important than life...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Spider AL I'm afraid this argument does not apply to the earlier English case for one. To the child in question, life was pain. Artificially maintaining that life, which was what the parents wanted, amounts to intentional tortur...  [Read More]

It is important to note that there is a difference between active and passive euthanasia, so there is no reason to have a problem with the term. It is simply that people tend to replace "active euthanasia" with just euthansia, even though t...  [Read More]

except for the fact that what we see at the bottom of the shoot is, nothing. I could be wrong, but I would assume that we would be able to see it before the thing opens....  [Read More]

I wasn't planned on getting it right away in any case, so that everyone else can try it out first, and I can better gauge whether or not I'm gonna like it enough. Also, I dont mind letting the price go down a bit before I get it. I might otherwise ge...  [Read More]

that makes sense, and could explain why they couldn't come in perpendicular. the turning radius may have made it impossible to get close enough to take the shot. after all, Biggs says "at that speed, will we be able to pull out in time?" an...  [Read More]

I've actually dug up a lot of evidence that it was either a) a sabotage that made the blaster fire eskew/explode in his face b) a second gunman firing an invisible shot that caused Greedo's to miss or c) both of the above. My main suspects are Boba F...  [Read More]

Even knowing that he is not especially skilled, I doubt that Han would make the assumption that he would miss the shot. I buy more into something I found in another post someone did: http://www.arts.mcgill.ca/programs/polisci/faculty/rexb/greedo.ht...  [Read More]

There is no force that goes outward in the circle. There is a force accelerating the object towards the center of a circle. The forward momentum is carrying that object in the direction based on the tangent of its current path. The resultant motion i...  [Read More]

The movement outwards in a circle is actually a matter of momentum, and not of force at all. The force that is applied to the door is a normal force, due to Newton's third law. The door is applying a force to you, so you are applying a force of equal...  [Read More]
