Beli Bulma: [quote]"I join a church to worship God, not to worship a pastor"[/quote] That is a cop out and the lie of a coward who can't stand for his convictions. Every time he sat in that congregation and said, "Amen" to the sermon, he was testifying to God that he agreed with what was said. So, he either lied to his God for 20 years, or he is lying about what he believes now. Either way, he's a lying coward and apparently will do and say anything to win... eve

[quote]No, I refuse to support Palin because of her anti-woman stance on issues that are very important to me (as a woman) and that she's so far right religiously and seems to let those beliefs influence her decision making, that is something I *cannot* and will not support.[/quote] See, you choose the same way I do then. You look at the candidate's issues and decide based on who comes closest to your views. Other than she doesn't support the bigoted idea that one human

Edit button doesn't work, so I'll just answer the other question here.... The difference between voting for someone and supporting someone. Supporting a candidate is getting out and helping with the campaign, contributing money, time and effort, talking to people about the issues of the candidate and otherwise helping them gain votes other than just my one. Why vote for someone I don't support? I am voting for someone I support. The ticket is M

[quote]Not sure what hope is there, she clearly has no foreign policy experience (seeing another country from your porch doesn't count, I'm sorry). And where's the difference between getting the vote but not support? Why vote for someone you don't support? I don't understand that.[/quote] All we have is the candidates on the table. You can't sit there and tell me that you wont' support Palin for VP due to lack of experience, but you'll support Obama for president with no foreign

[quote]Uh...you did know that McCain's campaign is run by a bunch of lobbyists, several of which were paid by Fannie Mae, right?[/quote] Your link is right, McCain has no room to point that particular finger, but have you ever read anything from me about McCain being some great candidate? Nope. To me this election is a wash, we are left with what we have. I was waiting to see who McCain would choose as a running mate to see if there was any hope to salva

Actually, I think there is a difference between being interested in learning what people in other countries think about the US and Americans and wanting to base domestic policy and laws on how they do things in other countries. I know when I have travelled, or met people here for other countries, I am often interested to hear what they think about the US and Americans. I'm also usually interested to learn the differences between how we see them and how they really are. S

[quote]To be quite frank, however, I no more like the what I'm hearing/reading of McCain, either... and were I eligible, neither he or Palin would get my vote. There's something slimy about the pair of them, and my conscience would not allow me to cast a vote for someone whose intergity and honesty I very much doubt.[/quote] Interesting take. The thing is, the apparently sliminess of Palin is (so far) just rumors and accusations, all those lawyers the DNC se

Have to agree with Kurtin on this one. The egg and sperm compined aren't a human being. A new human being doesn't exist until the first two nucleotides combine into the individual's DNA, even then it isn't alive unless the cells continue to divide. All life begins with a the cells dividing, it can only happen in living organisms, so the zygote can't be defined as "not really alive". The zygote also can't be any other species but Homo Sapien (Human Being), since

What's interesting about this hacker situation is, nothing incriminating or even embarrassing was found by the hacker.

I have to laugh here. Not one of the companies that have failed were free market companies. They are companies that were either given guarantees by the government, or partially owned by them. This isn't an example of failure of the free market, this is exactly what happens when you tell companies to go ahead and take stupid risks with investments, we'll cover your losses.

[quote]Sperm and eggs both fit that standard definition...they are living cells(they respond to stimuli). Do they count as 'human' before they unite in your opinion?[/quote] Of course they are living cells, but their DNA identifies them as part of an organism, not an organism themselves. The zygote inside a human mother has DNA which identifies it as an organism.

[quote]No one is arguing that murder is wrong and a sin. The point which you never seem to understand is that some people don't BELIEVE that a baby is actually alive until it is born. In their minds, when they BELIEVE this fact, that makes abortion all right because TO THEM, the baby isn't technically alive until it is out of the womb.[/quote] That's what happens when we become so arrogant that we define life by how or if other organisms interact with us.
