Furthermore, the only ones who have any understanding of how things might happen in the future for that fetus are the parents, and they’re the only ones that should get to decide if that future is one worth pursing.

Not wanting their parents to make decisions for them is what motivates people to hitchhike to New York City at age 15.

Yes but not at minus eight months.

Thanks for the good thoughts and the dittos, they are greatly appreciated.

OK…off topic…sorry

That looks rather nice. Nice to see Jaitea around too… hello 😃

My fore-mentioned pal who had heart attack/stroke in India flew back a couple of days ago. He keeps getting my name wrong and thinks I live in Broccoli or Italy but we shared an ice-cream and I got him to try and scribble with both hands which considering the stroke damage was quite something.(he is a fine artist/sculpture so hopefully he will recover some of that ability).
He will soon be moved to specialist stroke unit but it’s nice to see him still alive and sort of himself. He’s lost a bit of weight and looks less stressed too.

I hate to continue this off topicness, but I feel like all the Matt painting needs is an increase in contrast and it would blend much better.

Like the similar paintings in ESB it’s just too dead to fit realistically and needs replacing. Which it will. And it will be great.

Well at least to me a fetus is not really a person yet. Also let’s not forget that some abortions are for women impregnated by their rapist so in that case I think it’s definitely justified to get an abortion.

What makes a person a person? Who decides what falls under that definition? Is it justifiable to subject a fetus to the kind of pain that they experience during an abortion? Would not the same done to another non-person, such as a puppy, be considered horrific cruelty?

Interesting, though you may want to get in the habit of finding more credible sources, not tabloids, to substantiate your claims, like:

http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=201429&resultclick=1

(The first Google result when I searched “fetal pain”).

Partial-birth abortions are still pretty horrific. I also suspect that people would think it cruel to perform saline injections on fish, or to cut them to pieces while they are still living, despite their inability to feel pain in the way we do.

In the case of rape, why is it justifiable to end a third party’s life (that of a not fully developed human being who is completely dependent on his mother, but that also describes a one-year old) because they are a product of violence done to you?

Do you eat meat? Those animals feel more pain that most of the aborted fetuses, which are done at 20 weeks or earlier. How can you justify ending those animal’s lives simply for your pleasure?

I think their lives should be ended as painlessly as possible. Note that without human protection, these animals would have to deal with the far more painful diseases and carnivorous animals, such as wolves, that nature has to offer.

Look up fish pain and you will get very mixed results, follow the trail one way and you get animal rights activists follow it in the other direction and you will find the fishing industry. Science is divided. All I can say is anything emotionally that humans do can be seen in the animal kingdom. Even some higher skilled activity like engineering can be found in the arachnid and insect worlds. Genuine cruelty like cetaceans torturing seals to something like this https://youtu.be/ntIBAzO3xV8 convinced me that the only difference of significance between us and other animals is we can write down our thoughts and share them down the generations. A Zygote feels no pain a more developed fetus does but it can’t suffer. Clearly a penguin can suffer. A penguin therefore is more of a person than a human fetus.

Becoming a priest, nun, or monk is a choice. Celibacy is not imposed on anyone, but those who choose it seem to get by just fine. Black people, on the other hand, do not choose to be black.

Some opt to be not black : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-20444798

There is a history of people using the celebate status of those roles to hide shamed sexual preferences or hidden desires. But it’s a question of Catholicism ethics. It has no biblical endorsement but people know the score when they join up.

It must feel awful.
But that awfulness started so it must be stoppable.
There is a high probability at the least.
I’m glad you aren’t dead.
Dead people don’t get better.
You will.

I think Palpatine considers the lightsaber an inferior weapon. But it is also a good weapon to defend against other light sabers and to keep the extent of your powers hidden. Palpatine gets Anakin to act and then he has no need to hide because Anakin is his servant from that point on.

He still shouldn’t carry one of his own design.

To carry on with the sacrilege theme he could hold it by the blade and hit people with the metal handle 😃

I tell you guys what, if “moron” is offensive, I apologize and will do my best to no longer use it. I’m assuming “idiot” is offensive as well, so I will try not to use that either.

I assume “of limited intelligence” is ok, right? I’m assuming so because that’s impscum’s favorite and he never says anything wrong.

In a perfect world we wouldn’t use descriptive words for minority groups in a derogatory way. But it’s parlance. Lame, cretin, nigger, fag ,retard, pikey, pig, tramp etc none of them sound pretty as put downs but the shock of hearing it in that context is the desired effect.

Yesss… I know that was brought up years ago. I hope it’s been fixed.

Replacing the conjunction with a pause would have a similar effect. I quite like the line as is. It makes it sound like Lando is desperate to convince and nervousness has broken through the cool. But I wouldn’t rage quit the edit if it was smoothed out.

All time is a long time, covering a lot if space.

I’ve been sick and had many wishes. Getting well being the main one of course. In the case of one instance getting hospital food that didn’t look like something out a Cronenberg movie.

These ideas might work: http://www.spine-health.com/blog/11-unconventional-sleep-tips-how-get-sleep-and-stay-asleep I find it difficult to sleep when I’m worried or stressed but I wear myself down by getting up early and taking the stairs and eating in a small window of time.

Dooku using lightning was another dickmove by Lucas. It undermined both the principal villain and the final confrontation between him and Luke.

So Sulu is a humpback… oh my…😉

Its not their fault your roommate didn’t read.

Just to clarify he isn’t my room mate as we don’t live in a room and no longer even sleep in the same bed, it’s a complex relationship. But people shouldn’t be obliged to scrutinise every purchase especially if you have done so before. Similarly I shouldn’t have to scrutinise every item in the fridge after a fourteen year relationship where my one and only demand is no corpses in the fridge. In ASDA which I am boycotting because of their scare tactics during the Scottish Referendum their pork sausages are in a blue tin and are a significant distance away from the veggie sausages in a green tin. In Tescos both are in blue tins and right next to each other. It would be very easy to pick one up in error or for them to be jumbled up on the shelf in error they look almost identical. Lots of time and effort goes into store layout design. As a teen the worst job I ever had was working at 7Eleven. There the managers would gauge the angle of the crisp packets with a protractor to make sure the store was keeping to it’s franchise guidelines. It wouldn’t hurt Tescos to make the tins a different colour and position them in different locations on the shelf. Warb may find it amusing and I bare him no ill will for it but to people who make these sorts of decisions ethically, medically or because of religion it can be quite upsetting.

Some go via mechanical sifting devices or chemical cleaning tanks. And it was a dream. It happened in my head, while I was asleep. Dig?

It was a dream but I didn’t want to condemn them to the sewer either.

I wasn’t aware it was Tescos fault your roommate bought the wrong can.

The pork and beans and the veggie sausages and beans cans look almost identical and are right next to each other. I could see how the error could happen.

No it was the big goldfish. Lots of different colours actually but I couldn’t piss on them.

Last night I dreamt I collapsed in the street and a couple of American chaps carried me into their flat to allow me to recover. I went to use their bathroom but their toilet basin was full of large carp swimming around so I peed in the sink.

That’ll be the very short message service… figures 😄

When the sausage incident happened I gave the people who run Tesco a piece of my mind over Twitter… I don’t know if it helped us Veggies, Vegans, Jews and Muslims but they might take my comments into consideration.
