the crazy thing is we're not even discussing abortion, jazzy was just told he has no right to have an opinion on the subject ... a subject we're not even talking about.

You'll have to ask gldstwmm....

In honor of this thread, though, I am going to spend my final day of vacation treating myself to a mini pepperoni pizza at Round Table.

It is crazy, no? Which seems like a fantastic reason to get back to the subject of this thread and away from the personal bickering.

it is crazy, but a prime example of someone who starts these personal arguments. as you stated in the AI thread, I'm glad you at least acknowledge when others threadjack and start personal feuds. am I supposed to not respond? I was asked a direct question. no one was fueding until "those we do not speak of" piped in.

I agree, btw. why don't you give us a jumpstart to turn this discussion around and provide us with a post we can respond to? how should we proceed with this discussion...or...is it at an end and this thread needs closing?

OK...I think it was a nice thing for the guy to ask for, but I don't think the state is obligated to fulfill it. Real nice that the community responded, though.

As for the death penalty, I think it's stupid as it stands, mainly because it ends up more expensive to put people to death rather than to keep them for life.

I think the DP needs to only be used in cases where guilt is fairly certain (DNA, or perhaps many eyewitnesses, things like that) and there needs to be some way of administering it more quickly, though I don't know the full legalities (though I'm certain Jason is collecting them even as we speak

) I still think there must be a way. Otherwise it's life in prison.

Of course I think the whole prison system needs to be revamped (more cheaper, more minimum security options, etc.) and that minor drug possession shouldn't be a jailable offense (thereby creating some more room for the guys who really should be incarcerated).

They ordered from Dominoes instead of a local pizza joint

99.9% of the time the ultimate responsibility is on the mother. It is rare for a father to step up to the plate in the capacity that women do and when I see it, I applaud it wholeheartdly. I also find that them men have a new found respect for me in women in general and that we can relate on a whole new level. My ex brother in law is raising his son full time and his 7 year old daughter each summer. He calls me just to talk about her sometimes and it's hard for me to explain how interesting this twist in our relationship is. And before any of you get the wrong idea in your dirty little minds, it is sooo not like that. He is still with my ex sister in law. She is currently incarcerated due to her drug problem. And I love her like a sister. Sorry for the babbling.

No dear. My point as an agnostic is that the bible thumpers (generalization I realize) are the first ones to say an eye for an eye but god forbid that you remove a fetus from someone's body because that is MURDER! I know you are of a like mind about this so I'll just stop now other wise we will just go on forever.

In this case it is. It's not your body, nor is it your choice to make. Now should you be the "father" of the fetus that would be a different subject but my understanding is that the chances of that happening to you are nil.

I beleive I responded to the original topic at hand and quite eloquently at that, expressing my own viewpoint. If anyone is to be accused of threadjacking around here, it certainly is not moi.
