Okay, so I'm really drunk and currently 12 hours into it (over a week period). And I am severely confused as to why it is the most diabolical piece of shit to come out on the 360 yet is progressively becoming my favourite game of all time.
This is a few months old, I haven't seen a debate here on it though. A man who threw acid into a woman's face and blinded her is sentenced to having the woman drop acid in both eyes to blind him. Is this justified and fair?
This was repreived and I have heard no more of this sentence. However, the basic question still stands.

If a dog comes and does it's business in my garden it's illegal if a cat does it it's perfectly okay. I'm sick of picking up cat poop from my garden when I know exactly who owns the cat (although I generally just flick it back into their garden now). Is it fair?

I notcied recently that many Christians use the Bible to quote the laws of God but many fail to mention the sheer contradictions of the Old Testament. The old testment agrees the death penatly for working on Sabbath day is acceptable. As well as the consupmtion of ones own children and that raped women should request the marriage if their rapist to be morally accepted. Why is it that so many christians 'bitch' about the religious extremists giving them a 'bad name' when they are *truely* follwing the word of the Bible? Why is it that Christians ignore so much detail of the Old testament to the extreme that they even deny it. Is that acceptence?
I have been studying the process of birth for a while now. Recently doing Access to Nursing and starting a Midiwifery degree.
In my own birth I was told I *had* to take pethedine even though my contractions were manageable and I didn't want to. Purely because 'In an hour maybe the pain may cause me to be loud'. This seems like a ridiculous reason to intervene with a natural process. Birth is painful and loud but why should somebody be pressured into taking pain releif they don't want to?
I recently watched the U.S version of 'One Born Every Minute' (a UK original programme) and watched a midwife tell a woman that if she didn't move onto her back she *had* to have an epidural. This is an absolute lie. Lying on your back is only a hinderence to birth unless you already have complication. Squatting, being upright, even on your side is much more benificial to birth. One midwife told a woman she should defnintely have an epidural *incase* she thought the pain was too much in a few hours.

Cesereans are often given out for no reason. I was offered one due to being petite and the head on a *rare occasion* may to big. Instead of scanning my baby they made this judgement on looking at me. Needless to say I refused and I gave birth naturally. They also failed to tell me that I could go ahead with labour regardless and if on the *rare* occasion the head was too big they could perform a ceserean at full dilation.
I understand that in medical emergencies and for the health benefit of the mother and child, pain killers and cesereans may be offered. However, the needlessness of a lot of these proceedures lead me to believe people are intervening to much with a natural process that has been happening since time began.
Is it saving a life? Is it violation? How does it compare to forceful treatment of other illnesses that have been allowed or outlawed?

After recently watching a documentary on the legalization of cannabis in California, it was evident from this that it was not difficult to obtain a medical marujuana card. I watched as a man falsely claimed to have sleeping difficulties to obtain one and there were no alternatives sought and barely any questions asked. It interviewed card holders who admitted to having no medical reason to use cannabis at all. Now I'm not saying the use of cannabis is right/wrong. I believe that if people abuse the system the legislations could be revoked and people who genuinely need to use cannabis for medical releif will lose access to it and other locations will be reluctent to put a medical cannabis law in place.
