A Broken Heart Really Does Hurt, Scientists Claim
Death Metal writes "Psychologists at the University of California, Los Angeles say the human body has a gene that connects physical pain sensitivity with social pain sensitivity. The findings back the common theory that rejection 'hurts' by showing that a gene regulating the body's most potent painkillers — mu-opioids — is involved in socially painful experiences too."
That is a load of Horseshit! Anyone who says that "feeling hurt" is a whiny coward. Boo Hoo, cowboy the fuck up and take a salt tablet.
Everyone is becoming a bunch of Nancy-boy pansies nowadays.
I wonder if the easily offended feel hurt when you post the word NIGGER. If they do, let me be the first to say HAH-HAH!
NEWSFLASH: lots of people with absolutely no real racist inclinations will say NIGGER solely because you get your panties in a wad over it.
The meanness in this thread hurts my feelings. I think that it hurts a lot of other Slashdotter's feelings too, which is why they aren't posting. And that makes me sad. OH LOARDY WHY DOES IT HURT SO BAD????
I have a broken heart because everyone close to me seems to hate me. Oh well right. Right now I have a petty handgun that I bought from a crackhead and I am going to just drop a bullet into my brain. It might as well be right? You can all be dicks and comment and say shit to me but I won't know or care because I will happily be in oblivion where I belong. It's sad but slashdot will be the place for my last thoughts and this article will be the last one that I actually read. wow. . I just finished by bottle of jack and I am right on my way. Unemployed and useless. There is nothing for me in this world. Good bye gents.
That's gay.
It's not like he said find the dirtiest skankiest piece of pussy in the area and fuck it and meaningless sex is a lot healthier than curing your problems with pills. Pill poppers don't get more respect than people that have one night stands so you have it a bit backwards.
She married a guy, then she divorced him because she was flirting with guy #2.
Yes, and the poor fella had nothing to do with it, like, say, suck in bed. Happy women don't cheat.
Yes, because it erodes the moral basis for abortion itself - "choice". The vast majority of abortions are not performed because of physical danger to the woman, or disgust at the parasitic growth inside their bodies, or a philosophical objection to their bodies being used to increase the population. They are performed for convenience (although the level of inconvenience in pregnancy shouldn't be underestimate), fear ("My Mom's going to KILL meeee!"), or economics (powerful, but mitigable). And these decisions are wholly unbalanced, because legally a fetus has no standing, no rights. And, within pro choice thought, while fetuses might possibly have some moral value, it is far overwhelmed by the moral value of a woman having absolute freedom.
But your proposal goes against that. You are stating, in effect, that fetus's DO have moral value, in that women should not be allowed to abort them based on "non-life threatening genetic predispositions". But why should that have any value? If a woman wants a girl because she just can't picture herself raising a boy, she can abort a male fetus with the full legal and moral support of the pro-choice philosophy. Sure, individuals may have some misgivings, but they are obligated to accept the woman's choice as the highest authority.
Abortion is a nightmare politically and legally, but a deeper philosophical analysis shows up a lot more difficulties with the pro-choice position vs. the pro-life position.
