  1. No, I don't know exactly what you mean. You're seriously attempting to claim that a two year old is not a person, which is completely ridiculous.
  2. A two year old can survive on their own?
  3. Yikes. That D is awful. Komi is out for two months (broken arm, needs surgery). I'm really glad we had Franson just lying around haha.. EDIT: Oh, brown out, colborne in for the lineup I posted above.
  4. 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.
  5. 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?
  6. 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..
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. As abortion takes away the fetus' right to life.
  11. 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?
  12. 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!".
  13. I agree, it's very difficult atm to tell where one entry ends and another begins.

    Today...

    I used to be really awkward conversationally, I kind of improved by learning to be "open to conversation". I rarely start conversations, but if someone talks to me, things generally go pretty well.
  15. 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.
  16. Lol, we've lost 5 of our last six, let the slide begin. Current injuries #1 goalie #2 centre #2 LW #3 center/RW #3 LW #4 RW #4 D Next month should be fun...
  17. If you don't want your "public service announcement" to come across as a rant, don't flame and insult people who do something contrary to your conclusions. As a result of the tone and language of the OP it's staying in rants. Please pm me if you have any questions (any further posts discussing moderator action on this topic will be removed).
  18. You trolling or curious? Well, I'm hoping to make a point. But I'd like someone to clarify first.
  19. I just finished a quest from the guy in the museum in Dawnstar, I think, and I got like 4 daedra hearts.
