Mother gives birth to a baby with Anencephaly.
I think this sums it up pretty well. Sure, whether or not this counts as a human being is subjective but if the parents keep it alive its just maintaining a life of something that isnt feeling pain. While the analogy is a bit weird, would you really care what happened to your corpse as long as it wasnt doing any harm?

Your bucketlist?
because I have mentioned this to a few people in event of armaggedon 1. go streaking through the white house. Why you ask, because seriously if I am the only human left what else would I do?

Is pardoning the torturers a bad thing?
well lower levels that worked within the confines of what they were told should be fine(they werent giving anyone the rack, and clearly this isnt something like the holocaust so being told its legal is a reasonable justification). people that were abusing prisoners outside of established procedure would be open to prosecution based on the fact they were breaking the law. As a final note of clearing low levels, the fact they were acting in good faith is a second clearing factor. While waterboarding as torture is debateable, I think we can all agree that supervised waterboarding with a physician and clearly written guidlines isnt a brutal rights violation like the holocaust. While the method is debateable the lower levels were acting to protect america, and they were told it was okay legally to waterboard and such so prosecuting them would be foolish. At the higher up level things get a little murkier; if we start prosecuting everyone that violated the constitution half our presidents should probably have been thrown in jail. As for true civil rights violation, obviously this becomes problamatic. Acting in good faith is still going to come into effect, a good amount of attorneys and such were acting to protect the us when the condoned/justified "torture". Now, some persons involved should probably get fired or at least have their positions reviewed but we do risk quickly turning this into a witch hunt. In conclusion, this is a fairly complicated problem. While waterboarding and the like are arguably unnecessary and certainly a method of last resort, we do need to keep in mind we arent talking about dropping someone in boiling oil(again strictly covers people who operated in procedure). Prosecution of those who abused prisoners would clearly fall under other laws and should be pursued. Low levels should be safe because they were acting with good intent and under complete advisory that they were under the law(obeying illegal orders is illegal but thats more applicable to something that clearly violates law ex. the holocaust). Higher levels is harder and would largely have to be a case by case basis; going after people who were genuinly looking out for america starts to become a subjective application of laws. Should we really be prosecuting people who(although we can argue whether they authorized illegal procedures) if they were honestly trying to help america and did collect vital information? some other comments as to the civilian shooting, it depends on what you mean by shoot that way. If we mean a fighter pilot killed civilians because he was told building x was a military target then he is obeying what he sees as legal orders. If we literally mean pilot killed civilians after he knew building x wasnt a military target then he is obeying what he must percieve as illegal orders. A prosecution with the assurance with presidential pardons would be an interesting alternative; we should see the light of both what we did and what was gained by the harsh interrogation, insuring that we arent jailing well intended people gives a generally good outcome for all involved parties.

Is God real post your thoughts!
a. if you just thought of this Im amazed, the obvious problem has been around at least pre scopes trial. b. unless those two laws were written very close the context of the second becomes important. It should be pretty obvious that incest wouldnt be considered immoral if there were no reasonable alternatives.

If you could make ONE religion real, which would it be?
If what the religion believes was real; ie for greek zeus and such actually existing. Honestly, all religion can't be real. Muslims believe that Allah is the one true god, whereas Hindus believe in like 3,000? or to be more direct, Islam recognized Jesus as a prophet Christianity recognizes him as the son of god. Its pretty clear all of them cant be real, I still say the force/jedism would be the best if it was real.

Your opinion on Stem-Cell Research?
but but I love my hair :cry: Anyone else find it painfully ironic that Bush actually helped science?

Your opinion on Stem-Cell Research?
dont have time for long post but by cultivation--always from embryos--almost always okay, farming them for it would be a little odd but would be fine from aborted fetuses--never, while abortions legality is debateable it should never be incentivized.

Mother gives birth to a baby with Anencephaly.
:lol: #-o I think the brain stem deals with most/all of the keep you alive functions eh not really a stupid decision, at least the baby isnt in pain. what an insightful post :roll:

Mother gives birth to a baby with Anencephaly.
well the mother may be a bit of a wreck(cant watch vids dial up) but at least the baby isnt really being harmed regardless, kind of sickening to say that but thats "right" disorder to have in this situation. Hard to say what is a reasonable decision.

The Miss USA beauty contest story
yeah it was quite hilarious, I saw an interview and apparently he wouldnt have cared if she said bibically correct. Yes, hes offended but only because she didnt explicitly say gay people should have civil union rights and because she didnt cite the bible enough.

The Irrationalities of Human Behavior
I think it has something to do with the part of the brain that makes us see patterns or try to even if there are not. I guess a lot of the unjustifiable is the human tendency to rely on instinct and selfishness; primitive minds do primitive things.

Champion Scrolls?
I would go ahead and do it, sure its not really rewarding but its sweet to have done a challenge.

Time Travel, Possible or Not?
assuming we get ahead of this with a warp drive of sorts there is still another problem; its quite likely the images will be too skewed to view anything microscale about earth. Light going back out of the atmosphere and across space through who knows what is going to be very distorted. I guess its possible we could recover major things such as a giant fire but I doubt we could actually watch the signing of the Declaration of Independance and such

The Miss USA beauty contest story
fascist /joke I just realised how underhanded that question was, if the judge was going to make her lose by answering in a way he didnt want her to the question should have been invalid.
-
The Miss USA beauty contest story
how dare someone use their first amendmant rights to say something different then what someone else believes :evil: Seriously, while I disagree with her position it certainly seems her answer was entirely genuine and from seeing her on television she seems a competant individual(unlike a miss sc of years gone by). As to whether it cost her the competition, if so its quite foolish to punish her for answering a question and if not it doesnt matter since this isnt exactly going to start ww3. one of the judges(who is gay) has been on air talking about how her response made her lose/hurt her chances along with general bad mouthing.

domino's prank
I think my city wins, two idiots at a wendy's put pubic hair on a sandwhich of a cop because "they hate cops". I think they were like 22 to 30; such useless scum.

Zombie Plans-Revised
I envy you the tetsubo came from watching deadliest warrior didnt it? I guess it would be an interesting weapon if you got a medium to shorter version; longer versions would probably tire you out too quickly.
