Abortion
Lmao, I guess we can just kill them when they restrict their parents' right to liberty and happiness, because, you know, they aren't people. I hope you realize how ridiculous this is. But on the one hand, you've nicely demonstrated why this pro-abortion argument is so flawed.

But you agree that a normal pregnancy does not infringe on the mother's right to life? Could you please rank those three rights you mentioned in order of importance?

It's the revamped mechscape project, yes. Still looking forward to it, but this delay is not cool. I'd understand if it was a few months, but the site was released more than a year ago..

Abortion
As abortion takes away the fetus' right to life. If we assume that a fetus has a right to life, then we must assume that this takes away the mother's right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness - two entities occupying one body means that if one entity exercises control over their rights, it would nullify the other's. During pregnancy, mothers tend to forego their own rights in order to allow a fetus to gestate unless it interferes with their very own health. If a mother chooses not to forego her rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness - why should she have to carry the term? This goes especially in the case of failed contraception. If pregnancy didn't involve the 9 months of carrying a child and the pain of childbirth, then maybe the adoption argument would work - but until such technology exists, the abortion debate will continue. A mother carrying a normal pregnancy to term does not forgo her right to life. The flaw with your argument is that while there will be some conflicting rights when two entities occupy the same body, it isn't always the case. The only way the mother's right to life is being threatened by pregnancy is if carrying the child to term will result in her death; an abnormal pregnancy in which case abortion becomes a morally acceptable medical procedure.

It's also against the forum rules to give out that degree of personal info in public so you'd have to take it to pm.

Eh there are only three "marlies" in the lineup, could be worse; will probably be something like this (maybe throw in boyce, colborne or kadri) Kessel - Connolly - Lupul Kulemin - Bozak - Frattin Brown - Steckel - Crabb Rosehill - Dupuis - Orr Phaneuf - Gunnarsson Schenn - Liles Franson - Gardiner Scrivens Gustavsson

Of course none of these things are the identical, but the principle is still the same. Why do you extend the logic of "choosing for yourself" to only certain things and not to others?

Abortion
Why is it odd? I find that that viewpoint is very conscientious and well thought out. Apply it to other questions of right or wrong and it looks ridiculous. For example "I'm personally against rape, but I'll never stop you from raping someone!".

The American Football thread
Right, like when he crumbled under pressure in this game. Vick's alleged crumbling had a lot to do with the patchwork O Line, which has been improved considerable. Reid has put together a Super Bowl caliber team, but McNabb choked hard (something Vick won't do) along with a few other key guys. Our defense has improved drastically, with some of the best players in the league. Not only that but we have a top 5 QB and a line to protect him, one of the best WRs out there and a running core to be feared. Like I said before, Eagles going all the way. OH HEY!!!! Remember when I said this? Going all the way, eh? :shades: Haha nice gloat :P But yeah, the eagles have not been great.

You trolling or curious? Well, I'm hoping to make a point. But I'd like someone to clarify first.

I just finished a quest from the guy in the museum in Dawnstar, I think, and I got like 4 daedra hearts.

There's a cheat you can use to get any item in the game. Dunno if you're inclined to use it, but to get a few daedra hearts since they're so rare...

Yup, I don't think they will. We could use another really good WR for instance. Harvin is great but after him there's not much.
