[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] This is in response to Omega's list of questions from SeanR's "Give Thanks To Our Founding Fathers" thread. Omega apparently skipped over my last post, which said I would no longer reply to responses in that thread because a few people were complaining of "thread-jacking" and other things. Anyway, on to the questions ... [i]Do you agree with what Sol just said? If so, what beliefs and experiences lead you to believe that a woman has a right to control the body of her child, even to the point of harm?[/i] Omega, I have answered this question REPEATEDLY. Do you think I'm going to change my answer because you phrase the question differently? Maybe I think its because women can think for themselves and don't need others telling them what to do. It is wrong to tell someone what to do with their own body. [i]Keep your laws off my body![/i] Outlawing abortion is only going to force women into unsafe procedures, where both lives will be lost. What led me to this belief? Well, its simple -- it was pointed out to me quite a while ago, that I am a) not a woman and b) it'll be a very cold day in hell before I ever become pregnant myself, and c) therefore, I've no right to judge someone's decisions in a situation I will never be in. What do the ladies around here think about pro-choice? [i]What would happen if the Democratic Party got everything it wanted? Analyze programs such as HillaryCare and deduce the possible results of their implementation. As specifically as possible, how would you describe the resulting society?[/i] Omega, someday you will write great questions for college exams. However, I'm not being graded on these, so I won't "analyze", "deduce" or be "specific." Unless, of course, you care to pay me? I'm actually rather surprised you didn't add, "in less than ten paragraphs..." The resulting society ... wow! It would be great. People wouldn't be afraid for their jobs because their boss wouldn't be able to fire them at will (gotta love unions!). People could make enough money to live on (gotta love minimum wage). People could go to the hospital and not worry about paying, because they'd have health care! Cars would be really cool, and go really fast. Republicans would be obsolete!! YAY!!!!<font size=1>If anyone is taking this response to seriously, LAUGH NOW</font size> [i]Why do you believe Bush used drugs?[/i] My belief of it is rather irrelevent. Rather, the question should be, "can you prove he used drugs?" However, you can't ask that because it can't be proved that he hasn't. Honestly, I find it hard to believe that [i]most[/i] of our politicians haven't experimented with drugs at least a little. This is why I don't see why Gore and Clinton smoking a little pot is such a big thing. I also believe that Dubya lit up a few times at Yale. [i]Why do you favor friendly relations with the government of China, which has killed thousands of people for no reason?[/i] I think the government HAD a reason for killing those people, Omega, they're just not reasons that the rest of the world likes to acknowledge. Do you think I would prefer a WAR with China? Tianamen Square didn't surpress the rebellion brewing over there, and it'll come sooner or later -- look at the USSR, where Soviet [i]troops[/i], in the middle of a coup to overthrow Gorbachev, listened to a passioned plea from Yeltsin and turned on their officers ... we need to be in a position to help them set up a new government when that happens. [i]If you believe that 'if you are an individual, it is your body, and that no one can tell you what to do with it, and that no one may touch you without your permission', does this apply to Siamese twins, where affecting one's body would nesecarily affect another person? Also, does it apply to the body of the unborn child in an abortion, who is being touched without his/her permission? If not, why not?[/i] Good fucking lord! Another abortion question? Omega [b]I HAVE ANSWERED THIS QUESTION[/b]. I have no information on Siamese Twins, but I think I've heard that some live together, co-existing for many many many decades and longer. Gee, Omega, see that pregnant girl over there? Well, its not your body, so don't touch it, and don't legislate it. [i]Effectively, what is your position on the right to do what one wishes with one's body, when the exercise of that right involves the death of another?[/i] You mean, if I decide to use my hands to strangle someone? That would be doing what I wish with my body when the exercise of the right would be a death. Or are we back on abortion? Let me sum up (don't ask me again, Omega [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] [b]It's not your body, keep your laws off of it[/b] [i]Can you think of, and provide evidence of, an instance where George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole, et al. lied to the people of the country?[/i] God, you'll be a good lawyer ... "provide evidence of" ... no, I'm sure its all locked away very well at the CIA, where Bush sr. used to be boss. [i]Do you believe that the unauthorized actions of a few under a previous administration are equivalent to the ordered actions of a current administration? Do you believe that previous crimes commited by people claiming to represent this country justify dealing with murderers?[/i] Omega, look at it this way: The U.S. sent Lt. Calley on a mission to go into My Lai. Now, why did what happen happen? Did he recieve orders for that massacre? Did he interpret his orders wider than he should have? The point is, when people say, "don't deal with China, they've killed thousands for no reason" ... you make it too easy to point at the US and say, "so have we." This is how you should have phrased the question in the first place. How do you know that the Chinese officers implementing these murders were actually ordered to do so? That one man, acting on his own, didn't give the order without authorization from his superiors? Second, how can they be murderers? By your own definition (re: US executions, and the difference between a "murder" and a "killing") the killings would be legal under that government, thus, not murder. Or does your definition only apply to the United States? [i]Do you believe that all intentionally caused human death, including capital punishment, is murder. If so, what is your position on abortion?[/i] What is your fascination with abortion? No, capital punishment is archaic and should be abolished, but sadly enough, it is legal, therefore, not murder. [i]Do you believe the Chinese would cease their attrocities if we traded with them? If so, why?[/i] What attrocities have they committed recently? Best of my memory, Tianaman Square, 10 years ago. [i]Do you believe that the right to speak automatically converys a right to be heard, in any medium desired? If so, how does this apply to the property rights of the owner of the press? Further, how does this apply to the freedom of expression of the published of the paper.[/i] Most papers have what are known as "editorial pages", where readers may write responses to pieces within the paper. Therefore, the paper is already conveying readers' right to be heard in that desired medium. [i]What is your response to the accusation that the DNP ignores the consitution wherever it proves inconvenient, given the list of events at the top of the page?[/i] Er ... what list? Could you repost them here and I will then reply? Thank you. [i]What is your basis for the belief that an unborn child is not alive?[/i] Do you get off on abortions? You couldn't have had all those under just ONE question? Noooooo, half the questions are on abortion! Sheeeesh ... Omega, the basis for my belief is irrelevent. The only thing relevent is my stance on the issue. If you don't know what that is, kindly scroll up. I think I've said it about ten million times in this post alone. [/QB][/QUOTE]
