  1. More like potential humans, do the figures include morning after pill. Think Monty Python 'Every Sperm is Sacred' Problem is, could the taxpayer funded system cope with the increase. Damn thats a tough one. I know one person who had an abortion and one that gave a baby up for adoption, both in their early teens. They are some of my very best friends and both are in higher education. If each had been forced to make the others choice things could have been very different. Amen brother.

  2. Are you a vegetarian? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  3. Give me numbers, Israeli dead versus Palestinian dead over the last 50 years. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  4. Can he say 'conspiracy theory'? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  5. Oh shite, this isn't what I wanted to get into. Ummm, does any one actually know if manslaughter, such as the car accident I mentioned earlier gets covered in this act? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  6. Northern Ireland was kept under British control because of the conflicts between Protestant and Catholic communities. Ask someone living in Northern Ireland whether they want to be part of Eire or the UK and the answer you get depends pretty much on which denomination they are. How many Palestinians want to be controlled by Israel? Yep, like you said, deal with the devil. So you would be willing to deal with other middle eastern countries then?

    Watery bints hanging around in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government! Brave brave sir Robin, he bravely ran away. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  8. How many 1st world countries maintain such a brutal occupation of what could be seen as an invaded country? Would you like to live in Saudi Arabia? Not exactly a good example of the western ideal and yet valued companions. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  9. Actually the problems much older than Israel Palestine. In fact arbitrary map lines drawn by British empire administrators shortly after the first world war were the cause of the problems we see now. Any further redrawing of the map, especially one leaving a Kurdish state would really shake things up. In a bad way. If the US and UN can pull out leaving a relatively stable unified state with a government capable of governing then it may not come to that. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  10. Thats about what I thought. Not getting into the pro life pro choice debate, this is the bit that seems really weird. Fetuses can be very fragile things, and sometimes people miscarry for no apparent reason. Imagine if you're in a minor car accident, fender bender, bit of whiplash but nothing serious. Say there is a pregnant woman in the other car that has a miscarriage the next morning. Could that lay you open to charges of manslaughter or death by dangerous driving? Is manslaughter listed in those provisions under subsection (b)? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  11. It was actually this bit that I wanted to draw attention to, rather than the whole revenge thing. If you ever wonder why hamas and other terrorist organizations have so much support just look at the conduct of the occupying Israeli forces. If you ever wonder why the US is so hated in the middle east, look at which countries the US supports. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    I don't know that! Aaaaargh Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  13. Saw an article in the new scientist that mentioned this. Apparently it 'designates the fetus as a human being from the moment of conception and makes the killing of one a murder seperate from the murder of a pregnant women except in certain medical procedures' Any one have any information about it?

  14. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  15. hey dave, when are you going to empuria? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  16. Umm, resisting arrest? Kinda casts doubt on his character. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  17. I might be going to Skydive Orange in Virginia this summer and if I did I'd be spending quite a lot of time there. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the DZ is like to live and jump at, what you think of it, that sort of stuff. Thanks
  18. Not really types of music but I like the sixties anyway. Ummm, you know how sometimes when you make a poll you assume people only like what you like and ignore everything else? Glad you didn't fall into that trap Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  19. Yeah, that smell when the engine fires up in the morning for load 1, sort of mix of exhaust, unburnt jet A and a bit of burnt oil. I just remember that smell and it makes me think of sitting in the plane, feet wet from the dew, sun climbing in the sky, the chill still in the air and mostly that incredible anticipation of the third or fourth solo jump when it's all so new, just me and the sky. Dear god I need to jump right now. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  20. So the police ask about the baton and he assaults them? Lets face it, doesn't sound like he was a model citizen does it. And yeah, I do feel safer now that this guy isn't walking round with a weapon specifically designed to injure people. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  21. from your article it was the company that fined him, not the police. If you had a hire car that got stolen I bet the rental company would be pissed. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  22. But a lot did, fervently, passionately, with a fire that consumed their every waking moment. Thats why whether or not someone is religious has bugger all to do with whether or not someone is 'moral'. People do good things cos they like doing good things. people do bad things cos they like doing bad things, the voice in their head's just a reflection of that. I might have to offer to be punched as well now. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  23. Thats cos we're called atheists And surely the same basic religious structure, number of gods etc. Good post about the monkey's, for me one of the best studies showed that chimps will lie about things that they know they shouldn't have done. Shows that they understand the rules and also can predict what others will think/feel about them. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  24. Absolutely. I think today the greatest influence on the way we think of world morality today is the advent of the mass media, enabling us to see what happens when armies collide. Vietnam could be called the first war covered live on TV, HUGE public outcry massive demonstrations. Still though people only get worked up about what they see. In the thread about Mugabe and Zimbabwe alot of people suggested that the Zimbabweans and all Africans got what they deserved for living in a violent place, and many people object to the loss of one US/allied soldier to save countless foreign lives. Compassion only for those people you can relate to. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
