wtf? making a drug that fights HIV would completely fucking sell
how about 1. Research croc immunity to HIV 2. Make Drug based off this immunity 3. Sell the drug 4. Roll in piles of money and the entire world's* gratitude
Yes it is, because many things that are said to be good are evil are highly debatable.
There are also many many shades of grey to most of these debatable subjects.
Take the idea of god for example, two extremes would be:
1) god is a complete micromanaging deity that controls every single aspect of everything and he watches over all of our individual steps and guides us through everything entirely
2) there is no god.
The Majority of the world's beliefs fall somewhere near the centre of these two extremes. Does the fact that they are the majority make them right? No. But it doesn't mean that you should go around telling them that they are wrong if they don't fall under your point on that spectrum.
No one on earth is ever going to "figure it all out"
Going around like you know how we got here, why we're here and what happens when we're gone is bullshit and it's only going to give you a narrow view of life that does no good aside from making you feel better than all of those who disagree
Why don't you step the fuck down off your horse, get a job, and a girlfriend? It might do you some good.
Facts are objective realities. And everyone in the world can still deny them and they would still be facts. But a great deal of the things that you are saying are not facts at all
Reality is relative because none of us have entirely found out what reality is.
What you find good someone else may find evil, and vice versa. What you may find the biggest evil in the world many people may be neutral to.
Good and evil are rarely matters of fact. What gives you that idea that all of the things that you think are good and all the things that you think are evil are matters of fact? You cannot be that important, you need to get over yourself. Your opinons are not so spectacular that they are magically facts, even if they're shared by other members of your religion or locale.
It's not a fact to everyone. Only those who believe that it is. The underlying problem with the way you think is that you fail to understand how much of what you believe is your opinion and not fact.
You can go ahead and spout your beliefs as facts, and they may be facts to you, but that does not make them truly facts, it simply means that you are narrow minded and unable to cope with how relative everything is. It is not unreasonable to believe in the things you believe in. I have no desire, nor the ability to change your mind, but I ask that you stop going around pretending that you are so holy and that everyone who doesn't see it your way is wrong.
No religion is entirely based on fact. You aren't alone in thinking that your religion is though.
How do you know for a "fact" that it was founded by god?
I don't think it would work out well. Even if there wasn't any problem with the frame rate, you've only got one screen going on with the psp, and I don't know how you're supposed to pull off the DS effect. It's not just a matter of having the nifty screens, it's about how much you'd be missing without two of them, and even if you got them side by side on the psp screen I don't think it would look right.
The true religion? the only god? You actually are so dillusional that you think that you have picked the true religion, and every other one is false? How did you guys nail it so perfect? Where did all the previous religions go wrong?
Weddington brought a lawsuit on behalf of Norma McCorvey, an unmarried pregnant woman seeking to overturn the Texas anti-abortion law. The name "Jane Roe", a standard alias for anonymous plaintiffs, was used to protect McCorvey's identity. After filing the initial lawsuit, the case was expanded to include several other plaintiffs, including James Hubert Hallford, a licensed physician who had been arrested for violations of the Texas abortion statutes; "John and Mary Doe", aliases for a married couple whose doctor had advised against pregnancy; and all others who might be in the same position as McCorvey and the Does.
Who's god? Your god? There are different systems that claim the belief in "natural law" along other belief systems with other laws. there are also people who say to follow no god and also follow "natural law"
Laws of your religion, along with the religions of other people are not law to people outside of those beliefs as they have no real meaning to them, and cannot be enforced.
"natural law" is not law at all. it's just a way to label many different people's beliefs, the term "natural law" varies greatly from person to person. The laws of the United States along with the laws of many many other industralized countries permit abortion. Those are the laws that i am made to follow. Whatever laws you babble about in regards to your personal beliefs have no bearing on me.
RvW is nonsense in objective fact, and I stated reasons why. Facts are not my opinion, nor anyone else's.
You actually didn't, you expressed your opinions and labeled them as facts.
The purpose of google is to make money. This would be against their goal. there are a lot of people in china, who, they hope to get money from. google's job is not political reform.
Murder is defined as
The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.
Abortion is not unlawful.
Just because Roe Vs. Wade is nonsense in your opinion does not make it true. You are basically saying that since your opinions and views are so wonderful and pure that it's fact and no one should dare questioning you. You could not possibly be less objective. http://www.answers.com/holier-than-thou&r=67
It's not google's responsibillity to free them from censorship. It would be really easy for china just to ban google all together.
The government in china sucks. I don't think you'll get a lot of argument there, but freedom to information isn't a right that the chinese have. Should they have this right? I think so. But they don't. And our country couldn't care less as long as they keep selling us cheap shit.
Calling it murder and refering to it as a child is simply giving your point of view. As you can see there are many people who disagree, and the law is on the side of people to pretty much do as they please here.
Roe vs Wade was decided over 32 years ago, if this was just some mistake made by some wacky politicians don't you think that it would have been overturned by now?
"Sin" is defined as:
A transgression of a religious or moral law, especially when deliberate.
Your (or anyone else's) ideas of what is wrong does not decide what we do and do not have the right to do. The laws of the city, county, state, country, etc are what decide what we have the right to do. Groups of religious people who decide how i should and should not act are unimportant here.
My girlfriend has the right to terminate an unwanted (as defined by her) pregnancy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_vs._Wade
I have the right to use contraceptives. Someone telling me that it's a sin does not take my right away.
[your] logic and [your] nature might tell you that [your] god "designed" sex for certain specific uses and that it's wrong to use it otherwise.
And just becuase you interpret things like this doesn't make you or your cause right.
Could you please provide me with some information about how not having a child by 25 will increase a woman's chance of breast cancer and by what percentage?
Love and lust may appear as opposites to you, but you cannot tell me what i can and can't feel. How is "my path" (which you know nothing about) unworthy? Why do I need to be worthy to you? I'm sure you're not saying that it's unworthy to your god, because I don't believe you have the right according to your religion to pass your god's judgement for 'him'.
There are many truths for many different people. It is foolish to think that you are right and everyone who disagrees is wrong.
I actually have the rights to the first one, and my girlfriend has the rights to both. We're using the first so the second isn't used, but there is a zero baby policy in our life.
Doesn't your religion even accept that we have the right to sin(free will)? and that we are to choose the 'right' path?
Your truth is extremely narrow. Who are you to say what sex is only for?
I do not desire unity. Maybe you have a different meaning for it than I do, but My girlfriend and i are not one, we are two people together; and I have no desire to merge us together, who she is makes her interesting. What would the point be in even talking to her if she was not her own, different person?
Having a child in no way increases the healthiness of a women. Have you ever heard of pregnancy related illnesses? You know, like Ectopic pregnancies, (Pre-)eclampsia, and HELLP syndrome. It's no big deal though I guess, because it only kills the mother. I'm sure a dead mother is a healthy mother, eh?
My relationship is based on love, lust, and sex; Just because you say I should leave it because my path is not worthy doesn't mean a thing, what bennefit would I have by being alone?
You simply desire to press your truth on people while completely ignoring other people's truths, because, lets face it: there are a lot of truths out there, your chances of convincing a single one of us to them is damn slim, especially when it involves telling telling us that we're abusing our girlfriends.
I have sex with my girlfriend. It's part of our relationship, it's mutual, it's for pleasure and we always use contraception. I don't understand who or what i'm abusing here.
Our current financial situation is not that great. We're fairly young, if we were to have a child I think that the child would not be provided for as much as a child should be, it's okay if her and I go the last few days until one of us gets paid on top ramen, or if we skip a meal or something, but this is not a way of life that I could put a child through.
However, if we stopped having sex I think due to tension and frustration our relationship would become strained. Sex isn't just her or my need to get off; both of us come home from working all day and i really can't think of a cheaper, more effective way to wind up then down while enjoying each other. Your desire to press your conservative religious beliefs on us/.er's (of which I predict practically none of log in here to discuss, not to mention agree with) is confusing. Aren't there better venues to expel this crap? I'm sure there's some yahoo chatroom just full of people who'd love to debate morals and religion.

Whether or not it's evil is a matter of opinion. I would like to hear what stockholders think of this.

Once again, they are a for-profit, publicly traded company. Their duty is to please the shareholders.

I don't see how this makes them evil. The government of china may be evil, but complying with the government does not make them evil. chill out.
