I say it doesn't have an affect on my life, but that doesn't mean I see eye-to-eye with the pro-choice folks. If your baby had been kicking around for a day and you decided to kill him with your hammer, well, that wouldn't change my life either... yet it's the killing that's wrong, not how it...

A person on the other side of town is smothered and buried under the floorboards. You didn't know the person, it doesn't change your life in any way aside from that you now obviously don't have a chance to meet the deceased. You're not going to find out about it unless the person tells you...

What would you say your cut-off point for that is? What mental conditions would you be willing to accept, if any?

This is a straw man argument. I could just as easily say that on the one side, you have soulless baby killers who won't stop murdering their children so that they can just screw around whenever with anyone with no consequence, and the other side are the people wanting to protect the unborn who...

You'll note that I never said anything of the sort, if you'll bother to read my post instead of leaping to conclusions What I am saying is that if one considers abortion to be murder like many pro-lifers (I am NOT asking pro-choice folks, since their opinions on this are really quite clear...

I honestly don't understand how people can make those statements about how they are 'pro-life', yet support mothers being able to abort babies from rape. Could one such person please answer this? If you consider the unborn to be alive, a person, all that, then why should you agree that women...

You say it's tragic, but it doesn't have to be. With the state some people get into when approaching their deaths, it can sometimes be a sort of relief. Except, no. It wouldn't make anyone question that. In this very lifetime you have right now, many of your friends and family will likely...

There are a number of countries' sticking against Christianity' in today's day. In many Islamic societies, Christians are second-class citizens, and people who convert Muslims/are converted from Islam have a tendency to wind up executed. In North Korea, Christians (while officially tolerated)...

To the contrary, you appear to be just about the only person getting inordinately upset by this sort of thing. The rest of us accept that it's just something that happens when we have the freedoms of speech and religion, while you seem to think that folks should be able to beat up an atheist...

Save your offense for something important. Some guy dressing up as a zombie pope... I don't care, especially since as a Presbyterian I really don't consider the pope to be the holy figure that Catholics find him to be. You should stick to being offended by places in the world that are...

And you're free to think that, but the law says that it isn't okay when the person wasn't explicitly doing anything to bother the Muslim guy aside from wearing that costume. If he'd been hassling the Muslim guy in particular and taunting him, well, I'd probably clap for the Muslim guys strike...

Yes, and you know what the thing is? That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether they were disrespectful or not, it doesn't give you the right to attack a person so long as they're doing nothing to you. This guy was wearing a costume-- an unfortunate costume, sure-- and that just doesn't...

You're saying that religious people have the right to deck someone else in the face if they feel that their religion has been offended. That's certainly 'special treatment' if you don't think an atheist should be able to deck you because they're offended by your belief. No one here has...

You think you could stand losing everyone you ever cared about, knowing that everyone you ever do care about will be lost This is going to happen whether you live forever or not; all of your family will die, so will all of your friends... But people make new friends, and new family is born...

Yes, yes they do have that right, because in America, we have a freedom of speech and do not enshrine any particular denomination or religion as that of the state. I don't like it when people make jokes about 'zombie Jesus', sure, but attacking someone for it? Do you think that's about to...

Reasons? You haven't lived 3,000 years to tell us otherwise. One could just as easily argue that it'd be amazing coming from a mostly nomadic world in the tenth century B.C. to the crazy technology and the like that we have today and watching as everything develops and passes by.

So, rape is no problem when a girl is raping a guy? How disgusting. I'm still standing by my statement that the only form of 'rape' with a chance of enjoyment is statutory rape.

Many countries are willing to sell some uninhabited islands as property that, while theoretically are administered to by the government, are practically independent. These have the benefits of not requiring engineering that we don't currently have, or at least that we don't have without...

I think that there are some places where we could maybe tone down on what we have; troops still in Germany, for example. Those, I think we don't so much need... However, there are certainly still places that need US attention. It doesn't take a genius to tell why allowing South Korea to be...

Considering you even have a TV to watch that and the computer to post this, it seems to be working out pretty well for you. How exactly are we all conforming? If anything, to me people appear to conform on the idea that nonconformism is good. Students are told all the time what special...
