But physical pain aside, it will mean the end of suicides.Which would be a very good thing. Unless this is in the given universe where you can't die through any other means of suicide. Then it'd be a different question. However, I'd still argue suici...  [Read More]

Thanks for the words on euthanasia and ending life-prolonging treatment, Jae. I fully agree, and all this whole 'ending life early' and 'mercy-killing' stuff honestly is starting to frighten me. I realize your post wasn't about that, and that you are...  [Read More]

This is, I suppose, an obligatory question for any debate board. Sooner or later, along with global warming, evolution, and the Iraq war, this two-fold question comes up: Will we ever achieve immortality, and is it desirable to do so? Personally, as...  [Read More]

Listen, I agree with ACLU, but they are declaring their beliefs to be "true", thereby making Jae mad.Every time you make a decision, you risk offending those who disagree with you. If you defend gays, you're 'anti-Christian'. If you oppose...  [Read More]

Actually the United States Constitution clearly states that it is the President whom is the commander and chief not a mob.I know that. And yet, if you let el Prez do whatever he wants, he'll very quickly abuse that power. The 'we must trust our Presi...  [Read More]

OK, first and foremost: Again, I know Bush'll never be impeached. My goal, therefore, when saying he should be is to convince people to stop supporting him. To commit a fraud, you must lie. From what I can tell, Bush was honestly mistaken.Three wor...  [Read More]

Training is a great idea. You can't own a car without a license and driver's ed, so why should you be able to own a gun without classes? Guns kill just as many each year as cars. As for the 2nd amendment, for whatever it's worth it clearly refers to...  [Read More]
