7 points most people got what the user said, why don't you?
It's plain English.
Also you judge a person for not going on the Christian path while your own god (I assume the god of Abraham) had told those that believe in him not to judge over others?
That judgement will be from god himself?
You judge the open minded, this makes you a hypocrite.
I call make-up face paint.
Because that's what it is, one tries to paint the canvas of their face in order to make it look better.
People need to realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, superficial guys and even some women (make-up gurus) make women and young girls wear make-up out of social pressure, it's always been that way.
I like the natural look way better, if an "ugly" girl has a great mind, she shouldn't be concerned about painting her face to make herself look prettier to the masses.
You'll have to wonder why we'd need clones instead of mechanized systems, not only that but we could also argue if the clones are still considered human and if so they'd need to be treated as humans.
What if the clones decide not giving their own vital organs as transplants? Then what? You let your own clone live while you die? Or would most people have their clone killed in order to save their own life?
Wouldn't that be considered murder?
What about domestic disputes because someone accidentally had intercourse with the clone thinking it was their bf/gf?
What about the emotions the clones would go through when finding out that they are not the originals?
"Animal: any of a kingdom (Animalia) of living things including many-celled organisms and often many of the single-celled ones (as protozoans) that typically differ from plants in having cells without cellulose walls, in lacking chlorophyll and the capacity for photosynthesis, in requiring more complex food materials (as proteins), in being organized to a greater degree of complexity, and in having the capacity for spontaneous movement and rapid motor responses to stimulation."
So according to the dictionary we are animals.
It's been biologically proven. The fact that we are smarter than most animals doesn't mean anything.
For example, eliphants have better long-term memory than we have, does that make them any different then? Would you refrain yourself from calling the eliphant an animal?
Those making the arguement that our capabillity of loving one another is what sets us apart from other animals are wrong too. Penguins and other birds for example stay monogamous their whole lives. They choose one mate very carefully and then stick with that one mate. Most humans aren't even capable of accomplishing that much.
We think too much of ourselves when we compare ourselves to other species.
Which recovery?
Financially? How about China and Russia debating with other UN countries about leaving the Dollar as trade currency behind for the Yen?
Educational wise? U.S. national statistics are worse year after year.
Health care wise? Housing market wise? Don't even get me started on those two...
Not as much threat as the US posed to Iran when they murdered the Iranian lead scientists in the Nuclear Program.
The US has made too much propaganda looking into Iran, how about they stop meddling into other countries businesses and start looking at their own decaying system?
"I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the street, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it.
We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be!
We all know things are bad -- worse than bad -- they're crazy.
It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials, and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone."
Well, I'm not going to leave you alone.
I want you to get mad!
I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to write to your Congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street.
All I know is that first, you've got to get mad.
You've gotta say, "I'm a human being, goddammit! My life has value!"
So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell,
"I'm as mad as hell,
and I'm not going to take this anymore!!""
-Network (1976)
Capitalism has created the biggest crime rates in history, the biggest financial gaps in history, the highest pollution rates in history. Just turn on the news, you'll see another country being invaded to keep the Capitalist oil slurping machine alive,
because it can not possibly run on neighborly love, this is unheard of.
Communism isn't ideal either, choosing either systems, to me it's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Also any economic system we've had so far created bigger gaps between the poor and the rich, especially the Capitalist system that was introduced with the industrial revolution.
The world hasn't even bothered looking further into the Anarchist approach to this, it does seem to be the purest form of Democracy, the way it was meant to be, no Government in the way of handling things as they should be handled.
The world is struggling to keep it's head afloat from the 7 BILLION inhabitants already, population reduction is needed to supply for our ever growing demands for food, water, oil, and wood.
I don't support genocide in order to get there but adopting is a good way to help nature a little.
Even in the wild animals sometimes adopt animal babies from other species.
