Why can't we all just compromise?

[Kormanthor]

Come on folks I know you are all intelligent enough to understand what I am asking.

[The Cat-Tribe]

Who are we to make compromises with other folks lives?

Um. Exactly. I'm glad you are now pro-choice and don't believe in playing God with other people's bodies.

Nonsensical rhetorical questions that have no relevance and actually backfire on you!!

Do I win a prize?

Well, if it was able to function on that level, I think he means?

But it wouldn't be able to function on that level. Don't bring fantasy into politics, we have enough superstition there to last us.

Sorry, I was just trying to derive what was meant from the post.

If an embryo had the brain power to understand life or death (let alone vote), this might be an interesting question.

If the embryo had that level of brain power it'd probably be a moot point.

1. Abortion doesn't involve "a baby about to be born." In fact, 90% of abortions occur within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Later abortions almost always involve a threat to the life or health of the mother or a very severe fetal abnormality.
But that's just me being all "pro-choice" nit-picky.

" Jesus said I knew you before you were in your mothers womb, meaning that Jesus sees us as children regardless of how old we are or how many weeks we have been developing in our mothers womb. "

Not anymore.

" Jesus said I knew you before you were in your mothers womb, meaning that Jesus sees us as children regardless of how old we are or how many weeks we have been developing in our mothers womb. "

But many of us see the Bible as a load of bullshit, so why should what you believe affect us?

However Jesus' opinion is irrelevant to the current discussion.

You're no longer Libertarian? You've actually realised that it just can't work? Please tell me you're being serious.

Beat you to it, thereby tripling my win points. My win level is now over 9000.

quoting the bible does not a valid argument make.

Yeah. I realized that completely dismantling the government would actually be counter-productive.

BEFORE we were in our mothers womb. Every time a man masturbates, he's killing CHILDREN!

Fine, I'll just do things that increase it further until it underflows to -2147483648.

So what are your current views?

Assuming that this is what "Jesus" said or what Jesus says is relevant to anything, your own statement means that Jesus "knows" beings BEFORE THEY ARE CONCEIVED. Presumably, Jesus knows them after their bodies are dead too. How does this mean abortion should be banned?

And look what God does to you if you masturbate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onan

And it took you this long?

[Conserative Morality]

Don't know how to describe them. I mean, I can describe my views on certain policies, but I've yet to find a word that describes them as a whole.

But this is for a different thread.

Does two wrongs make a right.

Absolute non sequitur. Leaving the issue of Jesus knowing people before they were even conceived for the moment, why would that mean he sees people as children for their whole lives? Surely Jesus isn't some manner of mentally disabled person who can't differentiate between an infant and an elderly man or anything in between?

Does a irrelevant statement of questionable philosophy make a point?

You're thinking of three lefts.
