Human-Animal Hybrids Fail
SailorSpork writes "Fans of furries and anime-style cat girls will be disappointed by the news that attempts to create human animal hybrids have failed. Experiments by British scientists to create embryonic stem cells by putting human DNA into cow or rabbit eggs had raised ethical concerns, but the question of how we would treat sub-humans will have to wait until we actually figure out how to make them."
A human-chimp hybrid was just elected president of the united states you insensitive clod!

The Furry prevention task force, they win!

Well, just remember, your God isn't the only one out there. So who says, your God, gets to make the rules?
ah yes, the same Christian Trinitarian God that created and was responsible for the people who slaughter the non-existent subhumans. The same God who's servants helped get Nazi's out of Germany.
Any argument that resides with God is itself based on a horrible set of morality.
Its always the religious zealots that are into black and white thinking.
I say bring on the hybrids, and don't stop with animals, lets get to cyborgging as well (are there 2 g's in that?)
here's to Soylent Green!
The same Christian bible that advocates slavery, genocide and numerous other things that society now says are wrong?
Morality is ever changing. It is a social contract that is constantly being redefined. Sometimes to be more 'fair' and sometimes less.
Skunk included a short comic exploring the result of getting a catgirl in your bed. It wasn't pretty!
This is as my Master told it to me and now I tell it thee.
There are a billion names of furfaggotry! A billion kinds of furries that slither and slime and defile the land and sea and wind. Each furry is a kind of sin spawned by the internet's evil. And that internets is very sinful there are many of these damned furfags and their power is great.
As the purpose of all things in nature is to increase so it is with the furry. They would we joined them and so they seek to overcome us. In alien forms they assault us. In sleep they come to spread doubt and fear among us. They would corrupt our hearts and see us yiff too. Trust them not nor suffer them to live.
For each furfag destroyed is a soul freed from eternal bondage. Each mortal furry life extinguished is an /i/nsurgent soul raised to glory. Thus our eternal destiny is written in the blood of the furfag.
With box and tampon destroy the furfag. With pizza and koran smash the furfag. With credit card hacks and searing mormons scatter the furfag to the stars. With gore and dataforce and bandwidth raep, with hax and AIDS and jehovas, with yellow vans and steroids!
Kill them! Kill them! Kill them all!
As my Master told it me I now tell it thee that thou shalt tell others in thy turn.
In an internet of a million sites, what is the death of one site in the cause of purity? Some may question your right to destroy ten billion furfags. Those who understand realize that you have no right to let them live.

Whoosh. I guess they don't teach the classics anymore, like old Val Kilmer movies from the 90s.
So I'd say that the Christian Trinitarian God defines right and wrong. And he defines that there are no subhumans.
The Christian trinitarian god was invented at the council of Nicea. Before that, more Christians were killing Christians than non-Christians were; they were killing each other over the nature of god. The "holy trinity" is a compromise and doesn't actually reflect anything but the decisions of men.
That God explicitly blessed the occasional wiping out of various peoples, basically designating them as subhuman. This also violates the commandment "thou shalt not kill" which is stupidly contradictory. Any child can see the conflict here, which is why they are punished when they discover these flaws, in order to brainwash them into believing your nonsense.
I can logically shoot down your religious arguments by using religion all day. But I won't, because you are stupid and thus ordinary and thus boring. The simple truth is that when you state your religious beliefs as fact you are offending everyone who does not believe what you believe, and that turns them all against you, and if you are trying to do anything other than troll that makes you a big idiot.
If you are a troll, you're still a big idiot, but your comment was well played.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
The commandment "Thou Shalt Not Kill" in the Old Testament was in no way intended to be a universally applicable law - it applied only in an intratribal way to the ancient Israelites, the same as all the other commandments. It certainly did not apply to the way the Israelites interacted with other groups, and in no way applied to God.
With the caveat that I never said nor even implied that the rules applied to God and I am annoyed that you would suggest such a fallacious thing, I'm not sure I really agree with your statement at all. If I do then I can use that as an argument that God explicitly designated subhumans - everyone who's not an ancient Isrealite. That would throw the whole idea of God's universal love for his children out of the window, or at least throw the idea that he made us all and we are all thus his children right out of the window.
The Bible doesn't actually preclude the existence of other Gods, and furthermore it was the fashion of the day to attribute the creation of the universe to any god one worshipped. So this would not necessarily contradict the bible at all; God commands that you shall have no other god but him, not that you necessarily believe that there is no other god - although various biblical authors do make the claim, I don't know of anywhere God does so.
My real point here is that Christians read all kinds of nonexistent bullshit into the bible. They have been helped along by various scribes and the people who told them what to write, who both accidentally and deliberately have changed the very meaning of frequently-cited portions of the text, and also by various religious figures who preach their own agendas as if they were contained within that work.
[...]trying to examine the Old Testament from the perspective of more recent theology is certainly going to cause problems. For the original writers of the Torah no such contradictions existed.
That's nice. I'm not talking about them, I'm talking about Christians, who most certainly do have to suck up the New Testament, or call themselves something else. That in itself is unfortunate because most of the New Testament has little to do with Christ himself (although it makes lots of allusions to him to keep you interested) and he (as a relatively ascetic type yet not all that concerned with the full trappings of the old testament) would likely have thought that most of it was a bunch of unnecessary crap - although let's face it, if the guy even existed, I don't actually know precisely what he would do. I do know that most people who call themselves Christians might as well just call themselves "King James Biblists" and be done. They are not followers of Christ; those people were called Apostles. They are followers of a religion known as Christianity, which is horribly misnamed as it makes a lot of declarative statements that have nothing to do with him.
I'm quite certain that J.C. would have bitch slapped the people who made all these "friendlier", totally fucked-up bibles, though. He smacked down the money changers just for making money by doing nothing and thus taking advantage of people. Today he'd have to cluster-bomb the insurance companies to make the same statement. Regardless, these bible editors took the alleged word of god and twisted it for their own ends. If you are a Christian, you must examine the Torah from the perspective of more recent theology, because that's what your holy book consists of. Sounds brain-damaged to you? Me, too. Or at least, it does to me.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Considering how fucking stupid most kids are, I'm not seeing a huge problem with that.
I can't believe people are still trotting out this crap argument thinking it's clever or rational.
