    Abortion only for rape, insest, and life of the mother.

    A sorry state of affairs when abortions are only allowed in the case of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother. Your right to point out a practical problem with its implementation, but to me it seems like a smaller technical problem within a larger one, that of the policy itself not...

    The Military - To be honoured or grown out of?

    "It is sweet and right to die for your country." is not something i agree with. I really dont like it tbh. The military though, is not something i think we can jump to some absolute conclusion, that it be all bad, or conversely all good. Its necessity is in one sense sad, and i can empathise...

    American / British English

    Ah there are so many! We call 'potato chips' 'crisps', and chips is our word for 'fries', but mostly its referring to thicker cut ones, sometimes calling the thin ones 'French fries'. The spelling gets on my pip a bit too, 'color' and 'colour', 'honor' and 'honour' etc. It should have a 'u'...

    The Value of Life

    If you hear a doctor quote that some operation has a 5% chance of complications, you might think that’s pretty low, until you’re the person that’s going to be on the table. You then take 5% much more seriously. Meaning and importance is inescapably linked to the subject.

    The Value of Life

    When we talk of value, and use words like 'meaning' 'importance' and 'mattering', we really must be referring to some agent to which such things would matter in the first place. Our presence, each individual with their sentient and conscious mind defines what it is for anything to have...

    Star Citizen.... Get in my life!

    Phenomenal. This is what I'm talking about. A game to put the PC back on top and rightly so being the most powerful, unrestricted and cutting edge platform that it is, no longer held back by the out-dated console technology that’s plagued the industry for so long, stifling innovation and...

    Good call on the roast dinner :D

    Your favorite food?

    Pizza, hands down is my 'every day' favorite. Easy to make, and such a wide variety of toppings to choose from. You could literally put anything you fancy on it. My 'last meal favorite' however, would probably be a piece of cow :P

    The Perennial Philosophy

    Ah yes :D unless of course they all do :p I do think that a 'universal truth' about our nature and how to best live life must ultimately stem from the minds of those conscious creatures to which it applies. That they themselves are the very requirement that gives any of it meaning in the first...

    Is the Universe a Living Organism?

    Yeah sure i understand. It actually brings up something i often ponder when I’m daydreaming. That our language is very much geared up for retrospection, and does not lend itself well to delving into that black unknown that is the undiscovered. I mean imagine an ancient Egyptian being teleported...

    Hate abortion? Support free birth control.

    I think free access to birth control and abortion is a good thing. Couple it with good education and your onto a winner. I thinks its good from a perspective of liberty and freedom on the part of females, and also probably beneficial in a cost benefit analysis regarding the avoidance of unwanted...

    Is the Universe a Living Organism?

    Interesting post. My immediate thought was; what is meant when we say 'alive', and subsequently what would its attribution to the universe as a whole actually mean? Or rather, what would we take away from such a description being given to the universe as a whole? Seeing as the word has...

    Social media is a piece of **** that makes good parenting difficult.

    I thought parenting through difficulties was the very definition of 'good parenting'.

    Quotes you love -- from people you know

    Interesting thread, as in contrast to most 'favourite quote' threads where i immediately focus on the content of the quote itself with some irrelevance to the person who actually might have said it, this made me think the other way, to the person who means a lot, and then to what they might have...

    The Perennial Philosophy

    The underlying truth, to which they all share, is that they are ultimately the product of the human mind.
