Re: The Death of all Political Philosophy
If you want to know whether it is legal or illegal, check the local laws that have jurisdiction over abortions in your area. My point remains that unless one can show that their moral position is true, in the same sense that a physicist can show her work is in a sense true, that any person's opinio...

Re: The Death of all Political Philosophy
Have you ever met anyone who was vehemently against abortion who wasn't a religious nut? I haven't, and the reason is that their only 'argument' is a religious one; that human life is somehow sacred, even when it's just a little clot of blood. If they can't think for themselves then why listen to t...

Re: The Death of all Political Philosophy
Should we have abortion? Is there a scientific way to answer this question? I'm not aware of one. So, whether we have abortion or not is irrelevant as far as any rational person is concerned. If abortion can only be allowed or banned then what follows from your statement? My statement was that unle...

Re: was usa founded on a fraud
I hate to say this to you, but the USA is not the centre of the Universe. The USA may not be the center of the universe, but it certainly must be the center of the world according to the news. There's a guy in Gabon who also thinks Gabon is the centre of the world according to the news. You should ...

Re: was usa founded on a fraud
the revolution was supposedly a tax revolt right but one of the first acts of the new government was imposition of new taxes But it was a revolt over tax without representation, or at least that's what the rallying call was so it wasn't a revolt over the idea of tax. so at the end only the ruling e...

Re: Revelation 17 and 18.
See, that's the problem with people pasting those stupid links, and I'm not going to wade through a bunch of Creation Institue bullshit to make some comment on Carl Sagan. If somebody has a question on something or wants to make a comment on something, he should put it in his own damn words instead...

Re: A contradiction regarding the size of negative numbers
If we divide 1 by b, we know that as long as b is greater than zero, the smaller b becomes, the larger the value of 1/b becomes. For example, 1 divided by 2 is 1/2, 1 divided by 1 is 1, and 1 divided by 1/2 is 2. As the value of b approaches zero, the value of 1/b approaches infinity. So, the small...

Re: Music & Conspiracy
It's Eminem's song "Not Afraid" . I found these two top comments on the song's youtube video. Considering that you'll find posts on YouTube telling you that unless you repost a message 5 times you'll die so I'd take it all with a pinch of salt. I'm more inclined to accept that it's about ...

You quoted a response that concerned Sagan.bobevenson wrote:I never mentioned Carl Sagan in regard to anything, but he obviously was not a creationist, that's for sure. So I don't have the slightest idea what you're even talking about in regard to him.
