OK.. I chose the arbitrary point when a fetus emerges from a woman as the point a fetus becomes human. I have just as much basis for that statement as anyone who chooses fertilization. It's all arbitrary depending on your beliefs, since there are no scientific or legal definitions for a soul. Religious definitions don't count, as you just said. As far as the law is concerned, a soul doesn't exist.
And I choose the point at which the heart begins beating in the fetus as the point when it becomes a baby aka human. Of course, all along it is a human fetus as opposed to an elephant fetus growing inside of a woman. If that heart stops beating the baby dies. If someone causes that heart to stop beating then it is considered murder. The fetus is just as much of a human after birth as it is prior to going through the birth canal. There are no scientific or legal definitions of a soul and there is no need to have them. A soul can not die anyway. We are talking about the human Earthly body and therefore religious definitions of a soul are irrelevant, not that they don't count. As far as the law is concerned, a soul doesn't come into play nor does it need to.
I've noticed it also depends on whether or not the person arguing is the one that has to support it. Seems that people are more than willing to argue against abortion when they don't have to support the child in the end. I agree with the semi-serious argument that all anti-abortion advocates should have to sign up to adopt all the children that their cause prevents being aborted.
That [in bold] may be the case but that doesn't negate the moral issues, in my mind, of someone who has to support it arbitarily choosing to end a life, whether you choose to call it human or not. A life is still being canceled and to have an excuse to cancel it makes it all the more easy for those who were responsible for supporting it. By calling it non-human it enables someone who was going to kill it to remove all conscience sense of the act of killing another human. A similar concept is used to treat humans as merely animals by trying to prove evolution is the reason for existence and thus imply no moral obligations. People can always think to themselves that what they were killing was an animal and therefore lower than human so they can sleep better. Of course, even killing cats and dogs in American society has repercussions but destroying a fetus has no repercussions. Go figure.
It sounds like you basically prefer convenience of an adult life over the burgeoning life of a child. That seems to sum of your rationale does it not? Nothing forces a woman to keep a baby she brings to term so the support issue is really a non-issue. Adoption is a much better choice than not giving the chance for a baby to live its life. Hopefully the only issue is what defines a baby which for some reason seems to be difficult to define. Of course, for those who like to make the world grey and then fall back on the excuse that the world is not black and white the definition is difficult even though it need not be.

i have the impression that people are much more likely to take care of their physical health then they mental one...
No matter how much you take care of yourself you are bound to get hurt or sick and require a trip to the ER or the doctor. Obviously any one person may not go to the doctor or ER that often but like I said before, doctors' offices are always busy just because of the sheer number of people on this planet and the few doctors that exist to treat us. So either way, physically or mentally, sickness is not something tied to the economy.

My g/f is in a similar dilemma. Here is she. fresh out of school with a degree in psychology, and really can't do a thing with it except continue on to earn a Masters' in psych. After that, she could open her own practice (MORE $'s on top of huge student loan debt!), or possibly partner with someone else - with results varying depending on what part of the country you decide to live in.
That issue has nothing to do with the economy. People are going to be sick (physically or mentally) regardless of the economy. The medical profession is one of the few fields immune to economical issues. Doctors' office are always busy, whether they have people who pay with insurance or not. Your girlfriend basically has to go for a Master's no matter what in order to get anywhere in the medical profession. I hope she knew that going into it. Then again, she may not even exist. You lost credibility after "I just attended my girlfriend's college graduation ceremony".:)
It is already happening and not just on college campuses as someone mentioned. You obviously don't get the fringe news headlines or you would have not asked the question. Various groups (majority and minority) are being targeted for hate speech in order to protect another group. For example, hate crimes now involve homosexuals and even though Christians are against that lifestyle it is becoming increasingly difficult to speak out against it for fear of being accused of a hate crime. The world, and especially the U.S., is increasingly confusing dissent with hate.
This is evident when you include the fact that political correctness and pushing diversity runs rampant in the U.S. The problem with pushing diversity on people is the fact that people aren't trying to make someone accept others' ideas to be diverse but conform/accept a specific ideal (e.g. homosexuality) as opposed to all ideals so it is the exact opposite of true diversity. Conforming to an agenda has been what the old definitions of hate crimes/speech, political correctness, and diversity have morphed into. Dissent is not allowed. If you have differing opinions from specific agendas then you must hate someone is how the current reasoning goes. Another example is not wanting *illegal* immigrants coming into the country. You are accused of being a hate monger when all you want is for people to conform to the current laws of the country. This has now extended to forcing Islam onto the world in various locations (e.g. Minnesota for the U.S.). If you talk about why you don't like Islam invading areas as this author has done, you are accused of something to shut you up and hopefully others in the future. It's all about pushing agendas.
The problem is water, without which all that space will stay just as empty as it is now. We're already mining it out of aquifers that are drying up, and we're diverting so much from surface sources that it's causing problems downstream.
Well if global warming (for the PC crowd read: climate change) is so real then all we have to do is send some giant jugs up to the Arctic and wait for the glaciers to drop in them. By the time they are hauled back to civilization they will have melted completely, voila, fresh water. Or as I recently read in the latest Wired, some people have even had the idea of hauling icebergs down from the Arctic. But the issue is fresh water, not simply water, because it takes a lot of energy to remove the salt from sea water so natural fresh water is ideal instead of salt water which has to be desalinized. The last option: recycle your piss.
License plates all use the same font, so they should be easy to OCR, and in theory they use a high-visibility color scheme (though that's not always the case.) [bravehost.com] The camera would scan, read the characters, and compare it to a big list of stolen vehicles, stolen license plates, vehicles that fled accident scenes or other crimes, vehicles that belong to people that have warrants, Amber alerts, etc., and any "interesting" plates would pop up on the laptop that's now in most police cars.
Cops already run the plates of cars they pull over to make sure whether the car is stolen. This information is stored in NCIC along with other stolen vehicles such as boats and motorcycles. Off hand I don't know what data fields (besides the VIN) are stored for the vehicles though.
So what? We all know we don't download steady all month long, let alone at only 100KB/sec especially if our burst is 6 or 7mbps. I use DUMeter to see what my usage is just for curiousity sake. I've had it installed since mid-January. Since then I've gone over 250GB one time and that was in March. That month I downloaded about 20 dvd movies I guess. I'm not sure what all was downloaded now but I know some of it was movies but it also included newsgroup headers (which can be gigabytes over a month's time) and emule running idle (with downloaders' bandwidth set to the lowest setting on my end) can chew up a gigabyte per day by itself. I could live with 250GB a month being the cap because my next highest month is only 148GB. However if I'm close to my cap I would want to be emailed say 50 GB prior to the cap so I can slow my usage down so as to not get caught with an extra $10 or so overage charge.
So instead, the thinking is that water must form when atomic hydrogen interacts with frozen solid oxygen on the surface of dust grains in these clouds. Now Japanese astronomers have demonstrated this process for the first time in the lab in conditions that simulate interstellar space. That's cool because all the water in the solar system, including almost every drop you drink on Earth today, must have formed in exactly this way more than 5 billion years ago in a pre-solar dustcloud (abstract)."
We have quite a few assumptions in these sentences. It almost sounds like the humans are telling Nature what *must* have happened because the humans really are out of ideas. In order to uphold our elitist attitude that we can explain everything (even it requires a chain of assumptions and no real proof) we are saying what must have happened because if we can't think of any other explanation then the explanation we have must be correct. This will be a story when they have more than basic assumptions and demands upon Nature that imply we know what happened 5 billion years ago even though we weren't there. The fact they created water using a particular method in no way implies or dictates that some (let alone all) the water outside the lab formed the exact same way.
Had they stuck to a previous price you would have only needed to convince approximately 85,000 suckers to give you $1 each. Unfortunately since the last time I heard about the retail price of the car (in Wired magazine over a year ago) they seem to have upped the price to above the $100k mark. Of course, I couldn't afford $85k either but they just made it even harder for people to afford it. I would have bought one too had it been more reasonable at like $55k or so because the savings on gas would have helped ease the extra cost of the car itself. I guess I'll aim for the Chevy Volt in a couple years.
"50,000 Volts, 18 Watts and 133 MilliAmps of measured power is instantly discharged into the subject. The electrical discharge pulses in a revolutionary new method of advanced EMD power (Electro-Muscular Disruption) that no subject has ever been able to overcome. The EMD power surge instantly disrupts the central nervous system and results in the subject falling to the ground in spasms of involuntary muscular convulsions. "
Given that less than 100 milliamps can kill a person I wonder how the 133 milliamps in this device are safe. How can they guarantee the current doesn't go through the heart so as to not stop it? I don't know how scientific it is but the 3rd post on this forum indicates 133 milliamps is not safe to say the least.
How does "50,000 volts being instantly discharged into the subject" = "does not rely on voltage"?
Maybe the direct method of incapacitating the victim isn't voltage but indirectly, if it is an electronic device, it is going to rely on voltage so I agree with your question. Must be an issue with their marketing department. Of course, everyone knows it is the current that does the damage anyway.
I recently saw a training program where officers are themselves tazed briefly in a controled situation so they will understand exactly the effects of the force they might use on a subject. That seems like a good idea to me and is very likely to lead to more appropriate uses.
That's one way to look at it. It could also be viewed that with people in power and dealing with a criminal, who is considered less of a person than a policeman, the police may use the taser as a tool for going on a power trip and treating the criminals as less than human. Since they know what the taser can do it gives them an idea of what they are inflicting on people and gives them more reason to use it. They may think of the criminal as cattle and the taser as the cattle prod. It's a known psychological fact that people treat people of other races as less than human in power situations so it wouldn't surprise me if people in law enforcement (e.g. police and corrections officers) would treat criminals the same way. I mean, just look at the Australians;)
Once you point the gun at someone you have immediately escalated into deadly force. If the perp doesn't back down - you have to shoot him. That's the entire idea behind a taser - non lethal force.
The national debt has much to do with the value of the dollar. This war we can't afford has driven the national debt to the stratosphere. Your attributing the current problems of the dollar to the last 6 months is utter bullshit, the U.S. has been drained for years by central bankers, globalist megacorporations, and this war-without-end to line the pockets of war profiteers and oil tycoons.
I don't think any country can afford war. If you are against helping people in other countries then I suggest you also should be against all the medical and food aid we provide to 3rd world countries whether related or unrelated to natural disasters (e.g. 2004 asian tsunami). How much money do we spend every year sending those items to other countries? Billions probably because it also takes fuel and manpower to move the stuff. Wars do cost money and drive debt upward but they aren't the only cause. Economics are very complex and very unstable in my opinion. The breaking point is nearing if it hasn't already arrived by the combination of multiple factors such as the rising price of oil, the cost of war, people not managing their own finances, mortgage lenders who don't know how to run their businesses, the subsequent drop in interest rates, etc. They all feed off each other in one way or another. I think the last 6 months has accelerated the devaluation of the dollar due to the Fed thinking it needs to get involved not only by decreasing interest rates but also injecting millions and billions of dollars to bail out companies who don't know how to run themselves and expect help from the government.
Those were the days. I think the watermelon environmentalists have revealed their true colors when they define "pollution" as "anything that humans put out".
So the local college girls who put out are polluting? Hmmm, I'm beginning to like this pollution 'problem'.
Way before the invasion of iraq we heard alot of how bad iraq was with their WMD:s and their connections to terrorism. And now what? No WMD:s no connection what so ever to al'quaida and what is the answer now? It was to bring democracy to Iraq.
Hussein was bragging he had WMDs in order to stave off an invasion by Iran. Unfortunately his bragging was picked up by U.S. intelligent forces which of course assumed he wasn't bluffing. Since he was bluffing it explains why we didn't find WMDs in Iraq. Hussein's attempt at protecting his country from Iran backfired on him. And since this submission happens to also be talking about Iran and its progress dealing with their nuclear program it seems that Hussein's idea of touting his arsenal's power wasn't a bad idea. Iran is the real threat. You can complain all you want about them being next in the line of scapegoats but all you have to do is watch some of the videos in the not-so-mainstream media of Ahmadinejad and what he says regarding the U.S. to see that there is something brewing over there and it isn't going to be pretty when his plans are complete.
And now it's irans turn, well you know what; this is a war that america can't afford. The dollar isn't worth salt so just turn the fucking propaganda machine of again.
What does the dollar's worth have to do with the war? The last 6 months of interest rate decreases have devalued the dollar, not the war. It does make the war more costly, which is maybe what you meant, but everything is more costly when the dollar is devalued. How about supporting alternative fuel R&D instead of complaining about the war? Do something a little more productive with your complaining.
Will Cisco be penalized for helping create the "Great Firewall of China" in the first place?
Why would they be penalized for how their equipment is used? Are you going to penalize Bic if someone decides to use one of their pens to gouge the eyes out of someone? Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Some may think Cisco should be penalized but it isn't their responsibility what customers do with their equipment.
To make them true to life, the digital ones have a setting which is customizable that dictates how long the notes can stay stuck the screen before their 'glue' wears off.

How is evolution any different? The sheer fact that we are here is not evidence that evolution works either. Remember, circular logic is not allowed in science.
from reading many of the posts associated with the discussion of this code change is that many of the Pidgin developers feel it is their program and their time and they provide the software to the public for use at their own risk. Yes, there are resources available to make your opinion as a user known to the developers but the developers are not required to do anything about your opinions. The developers seem to think they have all the ideas and all their ideas are the right ones. It makes me wonder why user feedback is even allowed if listening to what users say is arbitrary.
It doesn't make any sense to me to remove the ability to do something in an application unless that capability introduces a bug but once the bug is fixed the capability should be added back into the codebase. Removing a capability is reverting, not putting that capability back in. Usually listening to users is the right thing to do but in this case they don't believe they should do so since they believe the only ideas that are useful are their own. So those who disagree with them on this topic should do what they suggest: use another IM client. If enough people do that and the userbase drops because of it then we'll really see just how much the pidgin developers really want to have users outside of their private community. If the forked client becomes more popular and the pidgin developers continue making releases and only pidgin developers use those releases then so be it. They can continue working on a pet project that will always stay a pet project because user feedback doesn't mean anything or at least as much as it should.
If I ever had the time to, I'd like to write a new UI for libpurple, Pidgin's backend. I have some ideas - but not enough time to actually learn how to use libpurple.
As soon as libpurple and its dependencies (e.g. gtk and glib) can be compiled into Win32 DLLs I intend to at least try a Java UI (using JNI to call the DLLs). Until then I don't want to work backwards trying to get libpurple to compile when I first have to get gtk/glib to compile into a DLL. I'd have to work backward before working forward. I'm going to let someone else worry about that part and once that happens someone can also try writing a.NET UI for it.
what are you talking about ? that sounds so incredibly misinformed that
a) you do not actually know what modprobe does;
I know what it does. I've used it plenty of times. It loads the driver and all associated drivers which are required by the specified driver.
b) are trolling. No.
how many of modern linux distribution users compile everything on their boxes ? because, you know, alsmo tall of it is open source.
as usual, it will be compiled by distributors, only now those who will have a need, will be able to compile themselves.
That's great for the drivers that come installed with the distribution but drivers can be updated outside of the distribution. When that occurs the drivers sometimes have to be compiled by the end user. Maybe drivers are available as RPMs now but when I dealt with Linux years ago drivers available outside distributions were distributed in compressed tarballs and required compilation. In no way did I state that using insmod/modprobe would do the compiling. Compiling would be a separate step prior to running insmod/modprobe. For those users who upgrade by upgrading their distribution or who enjoy compiling everything this isn't an issue but for users like myself who fall in between I may want to upgrade in between distributions but I don't want to compile everything either. I don't trust nor like RPM (haven't used apt-get, et al.) so for me compiling is the last resort unless of course a driver is binary-only.
In the time you took to write your worthless piece of shit post you could have provided some actual information regarding the topic of conversation. The principle of the matter is that the submission contained 2 links which provided no information whatsoever and required a login to get any further information. The subsequent information was not guaranteed to be available behind the login form either. It's a worthless submission for that reason although others have been calling it worthless for other reasons.

That's one way to look at it.

To make them true to life, the digital ones have a setting which is customizable that dictates how long the notes can stay stuck the screen before their 'glue' wears off. A spin-off game is also planned to allow you to practice your basketball skills by throwing the old Quickies into the Recycle Bin.
Creative thought of this and opted to pay people using dollars in base 10 since that would be cheaper but the court wouldn't allow it.
How is evolution any different? The sheer fact that we are here is not evidence that evolution works either. Remember, circular logic is not allowed in science.
from reading many of the posts associated with the discussion of this code change is that many of the Pidgin developers feel it is their program and their time and they provide the software to the public for use at their own risk. Yes, there are resources available to make your opinion as a user known to the developers but the developers are not required to do anything about your opinions. The developers seem to think they have all the ideas and all their ideas are the right ones. It makes me wonder why user feedback is even allowed if listening to what users say is arbitrary.
It doesn't make any sense to me to remove the ability to do something in an application unless that capability introduces a bug but once the bug is fixed the capability should be added back into the codebase. Removing a capability is reverting, not putting that capability back in. Usually listening to users is the right thing to do but in this case they don't believe they should do so since they believe the only ideas that are useful are their own. So those who disagree with them on this topic should do what they suggest: use another IM client. If enough people do that and the userbase drops because of it then we'll really see just how much the pidgin developers really want to have users outside of their private community. If the forked client becomes more popular and the pidgin developers continue making releases and only pidgin developers use those releases then so be it. They can continue working on a pet project that will always stay a pet project because user feedback doesn't mean anything or at least as much as it should.
As soon as libpurple and its dependencies (e.g. gtk and glib) can be compiled into Win32 DLLs I intend to at least try a Java UI (using JNI to call the DLLs). Until then I don't want to work backwards trying to get libpurple to compile when I first have to get gtk/glib to compile into a DLL. I'd have to work backward before working forward. I'm going to let someone else worry about that part and once that happens someone can also try writing a .NET UI for it.
what are you talking about ? that sounds so incredibly misinformed that
a) you do not actually know what modprobe does;
I know what it does. I've used it plenty of times. It loads the driver and all associated drivers which are required by the specified driver.
b) are trolling. No. how many of modern linux distribution users compile everything on their boxes ? because, you know, alsmo tall of it is open source. as usual, it will be compiled by distributors, only now those who will have a need, will be able to compile themselves.
That's great for the drivers that come installed with the distribution but drivers can be updated outside of the distribution. When that occurs the drivers sometimes have to be compiled by the end user. Maybe drivers are available as RPMs now but when I dealt with Linux years ago drivers available outside distributions were distributed in compressed tarballs and required compilation. In no way did I state that using insmod/modprobe would do the compiling. Compiling would be a separate step prior to running insmod/modprobe. For those users who upgrade by upgrading their distribution or who enjoy compiling everything this isn't an issue but for users like myself who fall in between I may want to upgrade in between distributions but I don't want to compile everything either. I don't trust nor like RPM (haven't used apt-get, et al.) so for me compiling is the last resort unless of course a driver is binary-only.
In the time you took to write your worthless piece of shit post you could have provided some actual information regarding the topic of conversation. The principle of the matter is that the submission contained 2 links which provided no information whatsoever and required a login to get any further information. The subsequent information was not guaranteed to be available behind the login form either. It's a worthless submission for that reason although others have been calling it worthless for other reasons.
