I agree with you. The same standards should apply for any reason. IMO that should be: 1st term - no questions asked, afterwards only allow abortion for mother's health, or if the fetus seems like it will die soon after birth.
Reminds me of Asimov's Robots and Empire where it is speculated that the reason there is such a great biodiversity on Earth (compared to other live-supporting planets) is the higher than normal radiation.
After all, God says that there will be only one God, him (her/it/whatever)
Does God actually say that? I thought he said "you will worship no God but me, or I will fly into a jealous rage." To me that implies the existence of other Gods.
What if Eve actually looked like Lucy Liu and Adam looked like Issac Hayes?
Considering Eve was supposed to have been made from Adam's rib, I'd say she was the same race. Oh wait, I forgot creationists don't care too much for genetics...
I love the part in the first chapter of the first game that happens off screen:
THOK THOK SMAK Guybrush comes out and places back the priceless Ming to its place. Guybrush : Better leave this here. (proceeds back to the room) THOK ooh! Hypnotize quarrelsome rhinoceros ow! KRASH! Push Sheriff : No! Push red button Sheriff : Not the red button! KABOOM
WUMP WUMP WUMP WUMP Look at tremendous yak Guybrush : It's a big, ugly, hairy yak wearing some wax lips. Push tremendous dangerous-looking yak Guybrush : I can't move it. Pull tremendous dangerous-looking yak Guybrush : I can't move it. Pick up staple remover Use staple remover on tremendous dangerous-looking yak THOK Suddenly, the painting is shocked and Guybrush is thrown through it, making a hole in the wall. Walk to books Pick up Manual of Style Guybrush : I'll need this. I must be nuts! (jumps back into the hole he made earlier) Pick up wax lips THOK KRASH Guybrush : (loud voice) Acck!...gophers!

And can someone explain what is bad with a naked body?
Because God thinks it's bad. The tree of knowledge merely let them share God's knowledge. The tree of life would have let them share God's power, so God was scared shitless and overreacted the way he did. But it was all a part of his Plan.
Maybe some frowning by those few who actually go to church (quite rare around here) but that's all.
See, that's your problem right there. Without committed Christianity, the EU is morally bankrupt (not to mention in danger of burning in hell for all of eternity.) But don't worry, we will rescue you soon enough.
But jailed? Not in a rational, just society (and certainly not in Canada, most of Europe, Japan, Russia, Brazil, or most other nations. Maybe in Iran or Saudi Arabia, though..)
You never know about Russia, not with all the shit that's going on there. In Saudi Arabia, she might just be executed on the spot by the religious police. Iran could do the same, but possibly only after a trial.
Simpsons, Family Guy and even South Park may be full of dirty jokes, but their "moral of the story" is almost always in favour of the conversative American Way, often injecting principles in such a straightforward manner as could only be applied to stereotypical idealised lives.
Gay tolerance, making fun of Christianity, making fun of immigration laws - yup, that has "GOP" written all over it.
They didn't lie so much as omit most of the truth.
It seems to be very similar with the WMD scenario.
Shady informant: "Hussein has WMDs!" Expert investigators: "Hussein doesn't have WMDs." White House: "We have slam-dunk evidence that Hussein has WMDs!"
Ok, so maybe they did lie. But they have our best interests at heart! Honest! Or don't you trust God's Chosen One?
What if the original person isn't destroyed in the process (spare me the "this is impossible"s, we're talking hypothetical here.) Both would be the "real thing", but would it be ok to kill one of them since the person is still alive? What if the copy/teleport took place while the person is unconscious, so there is no difference of conscious experience to differentiate the two?
The Prestige, now there was a movie to make you think.
Wait, don't some of the current models allow for wormholes? Through a wormhole information might not travel faster than the speed of light, but it could certainly get to its destination faster than a ray of light through normal space would.
I'm sure there are plenty of people who want a 100% genuine oldskool experience, but from my experience with emulators, older games often look so much better with some scaling, especially the hq*x kind. If there'

Of course dinosaurs aren't extinct. They're just hiding.

With all their armor and equipment, each lb of a wounded soldier weighs about 1.7 lbs.
I'm pretty sure I saw one of these on Afro Samurai.

I am more distressed, in the last 20-30 years, about how many crimes are now felonies, and the increasing reliance on mandatory minimum sentencing.
This is why every American needs to be educated about jury nullification.

Think of it as the cheaper prices being subsidized by third parties paying for your info.
I agree. "Microsoft Vista" should be changed to "Microsoft Smoked Meats and Fishes" to avoid confusing the customers.
I remember back at college, called the towing company and got a car towed from a professor's reserved parking space. It was the professor's car.
I'm sure you're right about the setup for next season, but what are you saying "No no no" too?
Hey Bob, whatever you do, don't think about reformatting the hard drive and being sure that you want to do it!
There still are Windows 98 users out there. I know because I am one. Someday I'll get me a new computer with Windows XP. Someday.

Incompetence would be trying to operate a car without knowing how to drive. Malice would be trying to run over as many people as possible.
What if the person believes that the right way to drive is to run over as many people as possible?

Hmm, reading GP I got the impression that it was about communicating with the future, not some alternate version of the present.
