    Is everything relative? The "Prime Directive" is evil

    You cannot blame all missionaries for the acts of the few or even the many. By doing so you are simply proving that you are just as intolerant as they, that there is nothing that they can do which will convince you that their intent is always to do evil. Yet there are folks like Schweitzer...

    Is everything relative? The "Prime Directive" is evil

    If the tribe in the Amazon decides that they, on balance, want their way of life changed then that is OK. What is NOT Ok is someone in a Western nation (or any other actually) deciding FOR the people that their way of life must change.

    Troops Punished After Refusing to Attend Evangelical Concert

    Why are you criticising Obama in a thread which has nothing to do with him? Isn't that a little fixated?

    $100 million Muslim center planned 2 blocks from Ground Zero.

    Reaching out to heal divisions is surely a good thing. I fail to see why, other than the obviously false idea that all Muslims were involved in the 11/9 bombing, this is a bad idea. Must people of good will bend over so as not to insult in some way those too ignorant to tell the difference? Oh...

    For the ANZACS

    They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

    Pedophilia and Islam

    The only evidence for Aisha's age being 6 / 9 are the Bukhari hadith collection which were collected 300 years AFTER Muhammad's death. There is some discussion about her age, so please note the following items which tend to disprove the 6 / 9 year old claim. 1: Other sources give Ayesha's age...

    Do non-human animals have rights?

    QFT! Each of us can make a decision as to what ethical standard we impose on ourselves. That does not mean that the ethical standard someone else accepts is somehow lesser that ours. AFAIC Vegans and vegetarians are welcome to their diets and their ethical standards what I object to is being...

    Do non-human animals have rights?

    I am certainly not. Eating meat is just as ethical as being a vegetarian.

    Do non-human animals have rights?

    I spent years of my life as an ovo-lacto vegetarian nowadays I am a meat-eater. I see no particular moral or ethical problems with meat-eating per se what I do have a problem with is the attitude which opines that one is somehow 'better' because one eats / does not eat meat or anything else...

    Do non-human animals have rights?

    Humans, like it or not, evolved as omnivores and just like our wild cousins, the chimpanzees, that means meat-eating as well as plants, seeds and fruits. Now you can make an ethical claim in re vegetarianism / veganism but you cannot make a claim in re evolution. Humans are just as capable of...

    Collateral Murder

    All armed-forces do this kind of thing. That does NOT make it acceptable, however.

    Do non-human animals have rights?

    Animals, even the ones we breed specifically for food, have the right to expect a happy life (however long), a warm place in the cold and shade in the heat, veterinary care, respect for them as feeling beings and, if a food animal, a quick and merciful death.
