The human body often self-aborts a fetus before the woman is even aware she is pregnant. Miscarraiges are what they are called if the woman is aware she is preganant, but it is the same system. There are some built in bodily systems to determine if this embryo is viable and if NOW is a good time to carry it to term. Is miscarriage a case of manslaughter? If not, then why are autonomous bodily systems allowed to determine if an embryo lives or dies, but the human BRAIN cannot?
I mean, common sense has never been that common, but it seems that lately it's damn near extinct.
I still can't believe people thought the Iraq war and rebuilding of Iraq was protecting the USA, that it was even possible to pull off and that it was ethical.
Cannibal:
1. A person who eats the flesh of other humans.
2. An animal that feeds on others of its own kind.
Um. yeah. Because Cannibalism is the eating of the flesh of one's own kind. That's it. There is nothing about how you acquired the flesh or why you ate it. This is a very simple definition.
I think you are trying to make some religion-based argument tying into abortion. How boring.
I thought it was regular people who voted to disallow these ugly polluting structures near themselves. I guess the environmental nuts (OK, that must be the group you meant) wanted to protect our groundwater and other resources and so pressed to not build more.
Maybe we could just USE LESS, ya think? Eat less food, burn less fuel...you know, don't be a hog.
Well that's the issue, isn't it?

People don't realize what they are missing, perhaps we should advertise to the world all the cool things they COULD be doing...but won't be able to because the Media companies have bought the politicians?
Seriously...I see people with kids out in public and I think "I bet that tubby schlub and his orca-wife vote for politicians who would remove my rights to protect their children". I find myself shunning them.
I can't help it. I think I need therapy or something. Why am I willing to take the time to protect my own children and they won't?
Therefore, it is not murder. Humans have souls, Chimps don't have souls. It's easy to tell the difference. Prove that a fetus has a soul, or go dive onto a pike with your pro-life supersticions.
Will they still be powering eBay?

So you start off just a stupid chump who follows rules because some never-seen mystical power orders you to do so.
Then you realize how silly that is. You don't want to give up the time spent following the religion blindly, so you dig though it for 'good ideas' and logical reasons for the rules.
Finally, you wise up and through the whole steaming pile away as you think for yourself.
It used to say Powered by IBM. WebSphere and DB2 on the back-end. I met the guy who's job it was to customize DB2 code for eBay. Interesting. I guess Sun threw them a sweet-heart deal to get their name up there in public eye.
IRA is not 'guaranteed' like SS is, and who will manage the funds? What will be the penalties if an Enron-style douchebaggery ends up wiping out retirements? Will the gov't pony up the stolen dough? If you're going to force someone to save, you damn well better guarantee they won't lose the funds.
Of course that is moot because there won't be any SS funds left for me after the breeding baby boomers suck the system dry.
Funny in my state of CT, house prices are way out of reach by most people. It's mostly liberal-leaning people who want to do something about it. the conservative-leaners seem to want to let the market deal with it. The market isn't doing such a good job of helping lower-income people to own their own homes. Throwing a first-time homeowner a low-interest loan doesn't help when the price is so far out of line with their income.
- Liberals don't give people a way out of being poor. I suppose you mean 'welfare'. Please describe the Conservative plans which would work better.
- Worse, the really radical liberals think that people in countries that support oppressive dictators aren't worth trying to help. Like where? What about all the Conservatives who love trade with China?
- hey call conservatives in this country facists, yet they turn around and support facist dictatorships. Like whom? What about all the Conservatives who love Saudi Arabia?
Replace 'universities' with 'churches' and for every 'kook in Colorado' (do you even know his name?) I'll give you a Jerry Falwel. Which one is worse?
Educated and/or well-paid people tend to be more liberal than conservative.
Liberals has traditionaly been used to describe those open to new ideas...and is not new technology and the uses for it 'new ideas'?
Since you are a Conservative (I assume) shouldn't you be embracing Capitalism and starting your own technology site that favors Conservative articles? That would be the true test of whether Slashdot is representative of the Internet as a whole, wouldn't you think?

...and the customary non-condom-usage....not the AIDS.
Might makes right, don't you know? If you can make someone do something you believe is proper, should should do your best to force them to do it.
The less parasitic siamese twin gets choice. If they are evenly joined, then either can choose to have the surgery.
The baby, after birth, can be transferred to another care giver and no longer represents a burden on it's parent.

I don't have a soul, nobody has a soul. It is all bullshit made up by mystical savages to explain the big scary world.
If the baby is in the belly, the mother gets to excise it if she wishes.

You can gamble online with stocks and bonds...but not with cards. Wonder why...
That's an awesome analogy!

You know, how they did with HotMail...and then spent years getting it back up to speed?
I hope you aren't fat, out of shape, smoke, drink or are over-stressed. All these things cause your load on the medical system to rise.
Same principle, don't you know?h
If you don't wear it, the cops have a legit reason to pull you over.
Your argument that this law is just because I can negatively affect others through non-use of a seatbelt is a bit reaching, don't you think?
When Greenpeace qualifies for 'faith based charity' funding from the government...I'll accept your position.

Sounds like a job for the government to me.
Yeah the ol' 'estate tax' eh? That's what has been keeping our poor people poor all these years? Come on now.
I'll take your points on China and Saudi, mainly because mine were weak to begin with.
But when Churches give up their right to not pay taxes...then I'll concede the fourth one.
