[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Jordan: [i]Because it's her body, not mine and ultimatly she's gonna have to be the one who gets to live with the fact that she killed her kid.[/i] Could not the same thing be said for, say, the so-called "Christian Scientists?" The parents are the ones that will have to live with the fact that they killed their kid, after all. And who asked anything about the mother's body? We're talking about the unborn child, not the mother. [i]IF I had the time and IF I had the resources of the AMA, Library of Congress, and all that rot and interested in drawing up what could possibly a million page report, well I would. Then i'd make you eat it.[/i] So you don't know enough about these programs to give me an analysis, and yet you know the results anyway? [i]Because he did [use drugs].[/i] Would this not qualify as circular reasoning? "I believe he used drugs because I believe he used drugs." [i]Find me one country on that planet that HASN'T killed thousands of people.[/i] Is there not a difference between someone who formerly ruled a country a centruy or two back, and someone who actively rules a country? It's not the country China I have a problem with. It's the dictator, Jiang Zamen. [i]Siamese Twins have nothing, nada, zip, ziltch to do with abortion.[/i] I would disagree. It is an analogous situation, in that it is two beings living in symbiosis. What affects one nesecarily affects the other. Does one Siamese twin have the right to decide for BOTH to die, unilaterally? Does a mother have the right to end her child's life, again, unilaterally? Seems like an analogous situation to me. [i]Trickle Down Economics (Which was directly CAUSAL to two economic recessions)[/i] I'd love to see how you figure that one. Last I checked, we've only had one major recession since the Reagan tax cut, and that was because of a tax INCREASE. As for the rest, where's your evidence? In fact, what are you refering to, for some? Your posts seem to be rather disjointed at times. [i]Define life, bucko.[/i] As death is clinically defined as the absence of a detectable brain wave, life would be defined as the presence of such. A brain wave can be detected at six weeks into the pregnancy. JK: [i]I support a gun-free enviornment.[/i] Why? [i]The restrictions in Md. are on carrying -- in other words, if you're not in the military or a police officer, it is illegal to carry on your person a handgun.[/i] Would this not be a violation of your right to "bear arms?" [i]Yet, I feel no reason to carry a gun for my own safety. I'm a fairly big guy, I work out, people leave me alone.[/i] Well, if you suddenly disappear from the forums, we'll know what happened, won't we? You think someone with a gun is going to care that your big and work out? Muscle don't stop bullets, [i]mano[/i]. [i]What studies show guns prevent crimes?[/i] "More Guns, Less Crime." By John Lott, IIRC. Available in your local public library. [i]And kindly tell me what is so wrong with requiring people to at least know how to use a firearm before they can buy one?[/i] Um... that the government was never given the right to do this? What's to prevent the government from upping the standards to an impossible level? There are people that want to ban guns completely (Rosie O'Donnel, anyone?). This would be a simple way to do it. Why should the government have the power to determine whether you can defend yourself or not? [i]I don't think kids should be forced to say the Lord's Prayer every morning at 7:30, especially if some kids aren't Christian.[/i] Agreed. [i]But not prayer. It's forcing one's beliefs on those of different religions, and is therefore, very much un-Constitutional.[/i] How exactly does praying around someone force beliefs on them? That's like saying I'm forcing my opinion on you, by telling you what it is. It's not possible to force beliefs or opinions on anyone. Certainly not by speech. [i]I didn't say they had good reasons for executing 2,000 people.[/i] Nor did I say you did. [i]And what DOES [suicide] have to do with abortion?[/i] The question you were asked to answer was: "What if one Siamese twin decided to commit suicide, an act which would nearly inevitably lead to the death of the other? How would your beliefs regarding one's right to one's body apply in this situation?" Oh, and BTW, breaking one's word is a seperate action from premeditated deception. Yeah, he was wrong, not to mention stupid, to trust the DNP congress to cut spending in exchange for a tax increase, and he paid for it with a recession and his second term. But it wasn't a lie. He did not intend to deceive the people of the country. [/QB][/QUOTE]
