[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tahna Los: [QB] Well, let me have a crack at several of these questions: [b]3) Why do you favor friendly relations with the government of China, which has killed thousands of people for no reason?[/b] For the record, I don't favour friendly relations with China until they fess up to their mistakes (INCLUDING Tiannamen Square). I take it that the present Administration has decided to take a different approach, that is "try peace first then get them to apologize". Let's wait and see, and not shoot-first-ask-questions-later. I particularly do not like the idea of taking a warlike stance against countries including Russia and China. We are supposed to live in a peaceful democracy. NMD does not help that one bit, IMHO. [b]4) Abortion[/b] I keep hearing things such as that it is a woman's right to choose what to do with her body, that is, if she chooses to stretch her abdomen to the size of a watermelon, then that's her business. So if she chose not to and it still happened? Well, this brings up the next question, is that mass of flesh inside of her defined as "alive"? Personally, I believe so. This brings two possibilities: [i]1) She brought this upon herself, having "too much fun" with a certain guy.[/i] Well, tough cheese, lady. That is no excuse for the ripping apart of a lifeform. You brought this upon yourself, you have to be RESPONSIBLE for your actions. [i]2) She did not bring this upon herself, this was "forced upon her"[/i] I do not want to go into the literal translation of this. But in this case, her rights to live a normal life in peace were completely violated by the person who forced himself upon her. Forcing her to bear what I would call a "child of a monster" further adds insult to injury, both emotionally and physically (not to forget her rights too). In essense, she should not be responsible for something she herself never did. Forcing her to do so would yet be another violation of her rights to live a normal life that was taken away from her by that so called monster by having to give birth to the Monster's Offspring. [b]5) 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?[/b] No one is perfect, Omega. If you believe that Republicans never lie, then I don't know what kind of world you are talking about. As well, please do not stereotype Democrats with whatever drivel you provide us with. If a Republican does happen to lie under oath in the same degree as Clinton, I don't think you'll be saying the same thing anymore. [b]6)Do you believe that the unauthorized actions of a few under a previous administration are equivalent to the ordered actions of a current administration?[/b] I will point out a couple of things: a) some of the "few" are still alive, those who carried out those massacres, and b) as long as these "few" are still alive, the current administration is still "representing" them, even though they do not hold any power in the administration, voting or otherwise. Technically, the Vietnam War happened 30 years ago. For many people that was not a long time ago. It is these people who demand some form of admission of responsibility from the Current administration, seeing that these "few" are still under their wing. Admission of responsibility isn't too hard to ask, isn't it? Unless you guys were talking about some other war? [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] So if the current administration is not responsible, then theoretically, Germany is not responsible for the actions of the Nazis, and the Vatican is not responsible for its role in the Holocaust. And Japan is not responsible for the rape of Nanking, and so on and so on and so on........... There is another approach to this point of view, and that is the actions undertaken were caused by a representative of that society. Therefore he represents that society as barbaric and heinous. Because the government is seen as the representative, it should undertake steps to ensure that the undesired label is removed. It doesn't matter which administration is in power. As long as they are the representative, they have that obligation. [b]Do you believe that previous crimes commited by people claiming to represent this country justify dealing with murderers?[/b] Yes, if we are held accountable for our own actions, as well as they are for their actions as well. [b]7) Do you believe that all intentionally caused human death, including capital punishment, is murder? If so, what is your position on abortion?[/b] On capital punishment, only those who commit heinous crimes and are not ever likely to be re-integrated into society should be nuked from this place. On abortion, the unborn offspring of the monsters who have committed heinous crimes and who forced themselves over the rights of another woman and impregnating her with this Monster Offspring should also be nuked from this place, if the woman so chooses. [b]8) Do you believe the Chinese would cease their attrocities if we traded with them? If so, why?[/b] Tough gamble. I guess the US is simply trying to coerce them down the right path. Let's see what happens. And the Tiennamen Square massacre happened at the same year 14 women were shot at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal because they were women. So we should ignore the memory of those 14 women as well, huh? The rest of the questions I basically don't have an answer for, or it is simply none of my business. Thank you. [/QB][/QUOTE]
