who knew that when channel surfing at 2:30 in the morning that you could stumble upon c-span and actually find something interesting? I just watched a number of presentations on embryonic stem cell research, and learned some stuff...i know...learning...at college?!...anyways, i can understand both sides of the argument now and i can now understand ( Read more... )

that argument...is absurd....

yes, killing is natural...but so is living in the trees...so is eating raw food...so is taking a shit in a stream....

do you do that?...i fucking hope not...

i would like to think that humanity has evolved past some of its more ancient arguments and possibly overcome some of its hindrances...there's a reason that murder is illegal...because some people thought that killing was...well, how can i put this...wrong...go figure...

and it's not the potential life that's going to die...some day down the line, it might just be your kid, the flesh and blood one that came out of your wife, that is killed...why?...because at that point the morality of society has been so overly eroded that it's alright...hell, let's just put out a bounty on people who are killing others...well in that case...let's slaughter the automotive industry...let's kill every last one of the cigarette company executives...let's up and destroy the entire oil industry, the logging industry, even your goddamn power grid...why not....they're all killing you in one way or another...

but wait...those are real people...that makes no sense...

well let's just think about this...we're trying to cure illness, we're trying to save people...so let's stop beating around the bush....let's ditch the pharmaceutical companies...i mean, after all, there are a lot of drugs with side affects that end up killing tons of people...hell...why stop there...the guy next door won't quit smoking, that son of a bitch is killing me slowly, looks like he has to go too...damnit, that bastard next door drives more than i do, he's killing us all with his gas guzzling SUV...to hell with him, looks like he's gone too...

the question isn't to save lives, the question is, what do you sacrifice to save those lives...

the idea that you're willing to strip mine any and everything around you to get what you want, is absolute greed...it's what put us all in the positions we're in now...greediness quite honestly can be blamed for every ailment on society today...and personally, i would like to think that i am not a creature of nature, but something that can actual shape the world around it, instead of having to play by its rules...

that argument, is the problem, not the solution...it's errant stupidity and just convoluted trash...so get it out of your head that killing is ok, because it's "natural"...that's fucking stupid...and that one statement makes you seem like a moron...

wake the fuck up...what you throw away today, as nothing more than moral garbage will come one day to bite you in the ass....think beyond your little world and look at the bigger fucking picture...this little erosion of morality on your part brings down a whole house of cards...and contrary to what you might be thinking, it wouldn't be for the better....

...morality is a building block of humanity, without it, you are nothing more than an animal...

needless to say, your little retort pissed me off...

your idea on humanity is based on what?

the only reason we don't shit in streams and kill and fuck shit up is becuase we're controlled and told not to, the key is control. you need it to come from nature and then your in your own ballgameof trying to keep an entire race at bay from fucking stuff up

so who's the controller?...who is it holding the reigns?...another human, possibly?...so, instead of being a sheep, which you propose all of humanity to be, why don't you act proactively and lead humanity down a course that isn't just exercising its animalistic side...

becuase you need power, and power goes hand in hand with control, without it you can't lead... the only way to get power is to get control, with strong force and acknowlegement
