    Irish Woman Dies When Denied Abortion

    With spontaneous abortions/miscarriages (ie not ones planned for by parents), people dont arrive at hospital saying that’s what’s wrong, its usually something like vaginal bleeding, or in her case back pain (which is slightly ambiguous and often there for totally benign reasons)...

    Irish Woman Dies When Denied Abortion

    Pretty tragic news. Poorly managed to say the least. There are different classification of abortion, ranging from threatened (which can settle and carry on to term) to inevitable. Each need to be managed differently. She seemed to be going through an inevitable abortion, ( dilated cervical os...

    Should people be allowed move freely around the world?

    Whilst aware that many factors need to be considered to answer ur question properly, im going to provisionally say yes, that is people should not be arbitrarily prevented from freely moving around the world. (Arbitrary being the key word). That people should have such a right by default, only...

    lying and telling

    People lie out of fear, even children. I would prob not get too angry with the boy, just let him know its ok that he lost it, you know he didnt mean to, and that there’s no need to lie. We all lose things from time to time. You can get another and next time he can learn from this and be more...

    Intelligence of a leader

    lol i will take that under advisement! :P I like a good old comedy festival. Not had much oppertunity to attend any in any other countries, but we always head up to Scotland for the Edinburgh comedy festival, which is good. One of my fav cities to visit aswell.

    Intelligence of a leader

    Ah my friend loves the Boosh. We often see Noel Fielding when we're out in London actually. I've got a soft spot for Blackadder personally. :p Oh and Peep Show is pretty good too.

    Are you afraid of death??

    bizarre that you think these categories cover everyone... Some impressive religious bias here. I dont fear 'death' itself as a concept, a thing that happens and exists in our world. I fear my own death, and i think everyone else of sound mind is the same, or else i would have long ago perished...

    The US Government and morality

    I dont think enforced morality has much meaning as a statement. You cant force a certain moral disposition in someone, mealy manipulate the environment they are in, either to directly coerce their current moral feelings, or to get them to willingly adjust their viewpoint to a changed...

    Measuring Value

    To be somewhat broad in answer, i think value is a matter of perception. It is the filter through which we view the world, and through which it is coloured and brought to life. In summation its an extension of your very being beyond the raw objective reality of your existence. To measure it is...

    Affirmative Action - Yes or No?

    nah, it continues to feel wrong in my bones, even if it means well.

    Presuppositionalism vs. Parsimony

    Sensible post, I tend to agree with it on whole. Some generic thoughts re the subject. To what degree does your principle of parsimony function as one of the very presuppositions you talk about avoiding? Do we fundamentally presuppose that such an appeal to simplicity is necessarily better...

    About Individual Human Life Beginning at Conception...

    I think a right is defined by the relevant characteristic. Such that a creature that can feel pain has an inherent right to live free of such pain. So it would be a 'pain right' rather than a 'human right' per say. It reminds me that children for example are not considered full persons under...

    About Individual Human Life Beginning at Conception...

    Wasnt that the Stoics position on 'personhood'? That it was defined by the 'pneuma', ie the breath. Its interesting that certain 'stages' are drawn to by people, making them less arbitrary than random choice but by no means necessarily justified.

    About Individual Human Life Beginning at Conception...

    I think this subject boils down to realising that things exist in a continuum of ever gradual changes, with different stages identified and characterised by certain specifics, claiming no more nor less than those said defining features. Such that fertilisation is defined by this, implantation is...

    2012 creationism poll

    Ridiculous. It really is an unacceptably high percentage in this day and age.... I wonder why the USA maintains such a high level of creationistic belief.
