Just because the NT isn't that bad in the regard of war doesn't mean it negates what wars were caused in the OT. Oh and don't forget about the crusades and Spanish Inquisition or is it b/c those are 100's of years old they don't count OK how about all the terrorists fighting for religion now? Hell on a smaller scale how about abortion clinic bombings? Sure religion brings some good but I'm willing to bet many more people died for their faith or because of someone elses than was ever saved by religion. I mean other than the original10 commandments nothing else was actually written by the hand of god. So the only thing important enough for god to write down himself was a list of rules that are pretty common sense. If that was what Christianity taught and not hate no one would have any problems with it.
You do realize that this argument is over federal funding for the research, not the research itself, right?
And you do realize that if Christians massively complain/boycott something and say that it is killing a soul that a lot of funding from companies/private parties that would have been there never will so they don't get boycotted or called supports of death as well?
Assuming that the lack of federal funding has slowed the research "to a crawl", as you put it, and assuming that the claims regarding the vast potential for curing the uncurable are correct, then exactly what is stopping the large pharma companies from pushing ahead? My gosh, the vast potential for gold and silver and frankincense and whatever and creation of new billionaires by finding a cure for, e.g., diabetes should be drawing VCs (not Viet Cong, venture capitalists, despite the similarity) like flies.
There must be some problem with the assumptions, then. Either research hasn't slowed to a crawl (negating your argument), or the potential for cures is vastly overstated.
I haven't heard of stem cell research helping the symptoms of diseases but curing them and don't forget the old adage there is no money in the cure only the treatment. Big Pharma didn't get big curing anything hell I bet there still pissed about polio.
I find your argument fascinating. "Because some people centuries ago did some bad things, we should not worry at all about bad things we do today." In medical terms, I think this would be "we've found a cure for cancer, so let's stop worrying about all those little diseases mankind suffers from." May I subscribe to your newsletter?
No my argument was that if people are fine that their religion is willing to kill for their beliefs they should be willing to die for their beliefs. They have no problem when some nut bombs an abortion clinic. I don't hear anyone stepping up when people are trying to shove there belief of creationism into the school. I'm just a practice what you preach kinda guy. If embryonic stem cell research is evil then all the breakthroughs that result from them are the fruits of evil.
How much do you think the federal funding would have been if it wasn't for the holier than thou Christians making such a huge deal about it? You really think that there isn't a connection?
Hey if people want to piss and moan over the research and slow it to a crawl why should they get the benefits? I mean remember the crusades if you didn't believe in their god you got killed or tortured I don't think this is nearly as inhumane.
It doesn't interfere with human life since all the embryos are abortions anyways. Why not give them a purpose instead of just throwing them in an incinerator?
Yeah I remember reading the reviews back when they were only competing with sd133 and was drooling over the speed they had up until I saw the price for it.
Oh they can't have him after that he hasn't finished putting all of Bush's policies into action yet. So far renewing the Patriot Act, keeping don't ask don't tell, and not bringing charges up on the Bush administration are going to plan, but that pesky ACTA still needs some work.
Sorry didn't have the money for the trademarked sarcasm punctuation mark.
and shit after giant it was supposed to say (insert animal) I lost so many +1 funnys because I used greater than and less than signs instead of ( and )
The problem with different connectors is if your in an emergency situation and the tube you need isn't there. Sometimes the 30secs to have a nurse run to another room to grab the right tube is life or death. Sure its a rare thing but it happens.
Ok how about this. When my dad was young a quarter got you into a 3hour cartoon matenee (sp?) with a drink candy and popcorn. When he was in his 20's a quarter (maybe a dollar) got him 5 gallons of gas. You could afford to raise a family well, working a single full time job and it didn't matter if that job was a dishwasher or a truck driver or whatever. You used to be able to buy a weeks worth of groceries for less than $5.
Reduce the need for new paper and we reduce the number of trees that are be planted. (There are more trees in the US now than there were before the industrial revolution).

Lol a few states funding vs full federal funding hmm I wonder why its the other kinds of stem cell research that is showing results.

I think Dr Josef Mengele did enough research on that during WW2.
Lol there is a reason you posted this as AC you know like most of us that the guy is off his rocker and 100% bias.
So I was wrong almost half don't believe in evolution I'm still a sad panda :(
Yeah I remember reading the reviews back when they were only competing with sd133 and was drooling over the speed they had up until I saw the price for it.
And people on slashdot would not know, but sometimes there is a good reason to undress in the kitchen!
Aren't you on /. right now?

Your correct the article that said they started censoring was later updated my bad
Lol like it tries to do no evil? "we will not censor you got that China?" "are the reporters gone? *whisper* ok we will censor what you want"
and more than half don't believe in evolution. That makes me a sad panda. :(

If you don't think a made for TV movie about giant is science fiction at its best then you my friend don't know sci-fi.
