• Woman Gives Planned Parenthood iPods So TX Women Can Avoid Hearing Fetal Heartbeats Before Abortions

  Let’s take a life or death situation. A woman is standing beside a road and in the middle of the road is a life. A really big truck is on course to end the life and the woman is the only individual close enough save it or let it end. Many individuals are watching this unfold. Considering the extremes, half see the life in the middle of the road as an innocent baby while the other half sees it as something more akin to a chicken egg. These opposing views are constantly at war with each other, they view each other as heartless murderers or fanatically insane. Sometimes the woman sees the life as someone who has hurt her (rape) or is not able to get to the life without risking her own. It the woman’s choice but she must be aware that there are people watching her. Of course, I realize the subjects more complicated with one half screaming, “well it’s your fault it’s in the middle of the road in the first place,” and the other “don’t risk your life over something like that, it’s just an egg you can get another one.” Because I understand that these two groups will never get along, they should just live in different States.

• Is Eugenics Reemerging? If So, What Would Happen to These Heroes With Special Needs?

  In reply to Donna.

  People with this mindset scares me. To many people life is spontaneous and at its core pointless. Christians believe all life is purposeful and has meaning. If a child is born physically weak, maybe God designed for them to become mentally and spiritually strong. A community gets a dose of humility by interacting with a man with an intellect disability who visits the local cafe. If I grow old and develope Dem/Alz, I hope that I am a means of making my family stronger. People with the previous mindset can not understand this. They see such individuals as burdens of a community rather than its strength and that makes me sad.

• Van Jones Somewhat Retracts Libertarian ‘Bigots’ Statement After Confronted by…Russia Today

  In reply to TIME_2_END_THE_PAUL_CAMPAIGN_IN_12.

  So, what’s the dividing question between time_2_end‘s conservative and slayer’s libertarian. I believe that people’s physical wellbeing, property, and human rights should be protected (general consensus among both groups). I am assuming that time_2 might want to include law to protect people from hurting themselves (“legalize drugs”). Aha! So the difference between the two groups is their answer to the following: Do individuals have the right to hurt themselves? I believe Yes. . . so I guess I’m libertarian.

• These Are the 5 ‘Ingenious’ Religious Concepts This Atheist Wants Secularists to Embrace

  In reply to chameleonx.

  I have no problem being friends with an atheist who doesn’t believe me to be intellectually inferior by asking the same questions and him/her and getting a different answer. I have experience with both . . . and became friends with both. . . life is strange sometimes ^-^.

  You seem like a polite fellow, I don’t mind answering your questions.
  1. Individuals who believe life and matter did not come into existence by a higher power (except for those few scientist who believe alien lifeforms planted life on Earth)
  2. Individuals who concern themselves more with the world (the what) rather than questioning/caring about the origin/purpose of life or spiritual matters (the why).
  3. With theories I like to keep an open mind, even with spiritual experiences in my life I try to see them how a non-believer would. It’s in my nature to be empathetic, I guess. The Big Bang is a good theory in describing the movements of celestial bodies in space but not in describing the origin of matter.
  4. Micro-evolution Yes (observable facts). Macro-evolution- a good theory on the possible progression of life from a simple organism to a complex one (no observable facts), but does not do well in describing the origin of life.
  5. I believe that a higher-power/God created matter and dispersed it as God desired. God chose Earth to create life. Biblically- breathed life into dust, which for us would consist mainly of carbon, calcium, and phosphorus (yeah spellchecker).

• ‘Debunking the Non-Existent Threat:’ Muslim Group Launches Pro-Shariah Campaign

  In reply to lel2007.

  I, personally, don’t have an issue with a group of people wanting to follow their own set of rules, self-determination and all that. They just need to be aware that even though their religious law may permit a man to bury a women to her neck and stone her, he will still be charged with murder due to living here, and if the women happens to be under 14 he then qualifies for the death penalty (at least in Texas, yeah Texas). In the United States they will never be exempt from our laws, the best they can possibly hope for is having both at the same time (which might be problematic for them).

• GOP Congressional Candidate Calls Holocaust the ‘Biggest, Blackest Lie in History’

  February 29, 2012 at 4:39pm

  In my life, I have argued with a Arian Brotherhood guy and an uber radical left room mate in college about this. . . no matter how much proof you give them they will believe the source is in with the conspiracy. That every European nation, as well as USA, was and continues to be infiltrated by the Jews (including Germany) to perpetuate this ‘lie’. Every diary, picture, and witness is tampered evidence to them. I tried very hard -_- and of course, they never gave proof for their side.
  The thing about conspiracy theories is the more people that have to be in on it to make it work, the less likely it is. (sigh) There, I vented.
