Iraq has been a tinderbox from the beginning...but personally, I think that if Iraq falls into civil war, it won't happen until after the coalition pulls all of the troops out. Which leaves the question: would you rather have our boys getting killed...  [Read More]

Show me how George Bush is moving to silence this guy...everything I've seen indicates the suspension & investigation is taking place at the school & district levels. That's something I was going to point out - but you beat me to it......  [Read More]

Clearly this guy has proven to be unfit to teach a geography class. The only question I have, however, is why we only hear about radical liberal teachers/professors. Every philosophy has its radicals, and surely there's loony neo-con teachers out th...  [Read More]

This statement here says so. If I am reading it correct you are saying that if it is justified you can end a life (We have been talking about abortion in this thread so I was guessing that you were refering to abortion) I only asked when is it justif...  [Read More]

Again, as I pointed out earlier, using the "oh there's a right to life in the Constitution" argument shows a clear misunderstanding on that particular phrase from the Constitution. The "life, liberty, and persuit of happiness" was...  [Read More]

That's a major reason why I'm against abortion, the death penalty and euthanasia/assisted suicide (but I promise not to muddy the waters with those oither issues, just using it as an illustrative point). Oh I get it, you're pro-life pro-suffering! :...  [Read More]

@TK-8252 First let me say there is a difference between humans and animals. Humans are capable of higher order thought process. Animals are not. 'nough said :nod: If you are going to compare humans to animals then you might want to bring up some pr...  [Read More]

I'm going to pop back in here to just point something out: I think we all need to agree that a fetus is technically alive. It is a form of life. But of course that doesn't mean a damn thing when it comes to the morality behind killing it. Cows are...  [Read More]

I assume we all can agree that atleast by the third trimester when babies do have cognitive abilities we can say that abortion is wrong if it does not pose a lethal threat to its mother? The hard part I think is drawing the line to where people can a...  [Read More]

Samuel, your argument is a textbook example of a straw man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawman). You wake up the unconcious man, he is able to think. You let the baby grow, it is able to think. How are those so different? Well, it takes about a...  [Read More]

It's not unsurprising for people to try it again; it is convenient to be able to do so, for many reasons. No one is trying to redefine what a human is except the so-called "pro-lifers" (who, for the most part, approve of the death penalty...  [Read More]
