    Prosperity IS created by rich people.
    If you do not accept that fundamental truth then, frankly, you don't belong in this country.

    "Back to stem cells, I am for research. What's your opinion? "

    I am for it as long as there are basic ethical checks imposed on it.
    No ... not to please religious types but to prevent research from degenerating into Mendele style cruelty.

    We still have to pay for this stuff so why pay for research?

    Can you believe this idiot talking about politics as if he knew anything about it?

    "Does anyone really believe he made a decision all by himself?"

    Does anyone believe people would be that stupid to even ask this kind of question?

    "The moral decision or political decision was to satisfy the people who don't understand life"

    Whoa, so we do not understand but you know the answer to that long-standing question "what is life"?
    We have a fucking genius here !!!

    "will support sending our young people to war for beliefs in the country"

    Your stupid ass would be laboring now in some Russian or German run labor camp if it weren't for "beliefs in the country."
    You haven't seen what humans are capable of and relying on "good will and understanding" is sure way to become a victim.
    You think it is impossible in this "age of enlightenment "? Think again...

    Who do you think guarantees your freedom?

    Yep, I thought so when Gore was this close to stealing it but then common sense prevailed.

    "do death at the drop of a hat."

    Yeah, right.
    7 years of appeals hardly constitutes "drop of a hat"...

    Hah, you know what .. I don't feel that killing human being is wrong. I mean, do you dare to impose your morals on me and claim otherwise ?

    You still don't understand.
    Judges are there to explain and clarify laws.
    Every decision they make will be influenced consciously or NOT by their personal believes.
    After all, we do not hire robots there but people with their own set of morals
    and we WANT them to think and decide using their best judgment.
    As far as SC ruling during last election ...
    They did what they thought was right.
    I , personally thought they did the right thing.
    If they went the other way I would be bitching now and you would be defending their decision.
    Who is to say you are right and I am wrong ?

    Yes, I am making his point but also point out that judges will never be impartial because they are humans.
    There will have their own believes which will influence their rulings and there is nothing you and I can do about it.
    This is especially evident in the cases where the law is ambiguous and, in fact, we rely on their personal judgment to make the call..
