    Before i decide whether or not i should kill something, it's best to find out what that thing is. I think i'll add a bit more support to my view that the fetus is human, just so you know that it isn't a Christian bias.

    I only see a few differences between a fetus and a born child:

    Size - The fetus is smaller than a born child, just as Hilary Clinton is a smaller person than Shaq O'Neal.

    Level of Development - The fetus is less developed than a born child. But a 4 year old girl is still developing a reproductive system, which means she's less developed than a fourteen year old.

    Environment - Being in the womb or out of the womb doesn't make much more of a difference than whether your in a box or out. Though as a fetus you're more dependent on that "box"

    Dependency - The fetus is dependent on the mother for life just as a kidney patient is just as dependent on their dialysis machine for life.

    I'm not saying in no circumstances should you get an abortion. If both lives are threatened by the pregnancy, then do all you can to save at least one of their lives, be it killing the child to save the mother.

    The fetus is a stage in every human's life, and that being so, they should have a right to live through it. It's not a parasite, but a natural part of the woman's life as child-bearer and a human's development.

    I agree...somewhat. i (mostly) agree about how you look at a fetus, but think about this: what would be better - for this fetus to have never been born, or for it to grow up in poverty as an unwanted and unloved, (and possibly burdensome) child to the parents. now im not syaing this is always the case, but there will be people with this situation. the reason why i say i mostly agree with your view of the unborn kid is that, under a certain "age," it cant feel, cant understand. theres a point where it can feel or react, but until then, it is as unconscious of it's being as anything. "I think, therefore I am." If something can't think, is it then not considered murder? and even then, other animals are killed, and they can think.

    Also: In terms of "kid potential," a point that many people have brought up, theres many MANY possibilities of "unreached potential." another point about "unborn potential" is that, at least for girls, it starts being "wasted" around the age of 13. you cant argue that every bit of dna should be used.

    but yeah. just adding on. :)

    golden shapes (golden rectangle of proportions. look at "diving pines")

    twice divided by 2 (two hands, 10 fingers. divide by two, 5 fingers)

    4 divided by 4 (2 hands, 2 feet, 20 appendages, divided by 4 is 5)

    with diving pines (Fibonacci numbers occur commonly in nature. pine tree needles are one of them)

    the year i am turning (15)

    is not the answer (remember - this was from June 2010 - i was 14 then) (15 is not the answer)

    and the answer does not

    include dasher or prancer (dasher - 1st raindeer. prancer- 3rd raindeer. 1 and 3 are wrong)

    however, if relating

    to the above (15)

    than the number 3

    fits like a glove (15 / 3 = 5)

    there are two methods to arguing with women. the first is to use your point like a blunt instrument, hammering it over and over agian until she gives in. the second is to patiently, lovingly, lay out your point, being respectful of her ideas. neither method works.

    agreed! ;)

    you can fool some people all the time, you can fool all people some of the time, but you can't fool all people all the time.

    im the first part. its quite sad.

    If one is to give science credibility and to recognize man as a cognate being then sexual orientation is a choice, not an inate condition that one can not control. It is also a misnomer to call it a right. It might be a civil law, but it is not righteous. Of course it is not righteous to cause harm to those that are gay/lesbian, but it is not righteous to promote their lifestyle either.

    I am tolerant of those who call themselves gay/lesbian, as one who lives in a world of different beliefs. One needs to be either tolerant or at war, and war is seldom (if ever) a good thing. But we need tolerate it at times too. What should be surprising is that I have seldom seen the tolerance of those on the other side of the fence. Why is that? Are they so much in the wrong they themselves are intolerant?

    Assuming you aren't gay, can you remember when you chose not to be? What influenced your decision?

    Intolerant of what? Of people saying that they have no right to be the way they are, no right to have a relationship with the person they love?

    If so, I see no such intolerance here. I don't see anybody saying you don't have a right to your opinions. People are just pointing out how wrong you are. You still have the right to think whatever you like.

    for the record, i agree with octopuppy.

    but again: theres a thread for htis! :)

    Would it not be better to start a petition to make a video that opposes the false belief that it is a right to be gay?

    theres a thread for this. if you want to share your opinions (please do - thats what this forum is for), then post there! definitly!

    however, ill warn you - many people will rip you apart. just a warning. :P

    oh, and i signed. :)

  21. Harry Potter Mafia - Year 2

    in Games

    Posted

    @Aaryan - experienced players can play this one. This is not a trainer's manual mafia designed exclusively for first-time players. Also, as size increased from the previous HP1 Mafia/Trainer Manual Mafias, there is a need for more players to join.

    Hopefully EDM will be back tomorrow or the day after and rejoin.

    And Peace said something about June 4th being end of exams or something.

    And perhaps Klue found his apartment and play.

    And curr3nt can finish thinking about Looney Tunes and play some more Mafia before hosting that.

    And ... a lot of other stuff can happen ;)

    We'll get started soon.

    June 4th is the day of my SAT. then i go to new york for a few days. theres sketchy internet, so ill try to be on, but do realize, i wont be on all the time :P

    Likewise. Never had a problem with FF3, am on FF4 now at work. If you can't see BD on FF, it's user/config error. *Shrug*

    I still use Opera at home, if this is turning into a browser war.

    FF > Opera > Chrome > Safari > IE

    ^^

    safari should be higher. i agree with IE being last. i used it for year and...ew.
