More importantly, there are no longer any targets in Syria to bomb. Assad has moved them because Obama gave him two and half weeks and counting to prepare! Now if we strike, it will be at best similar to flicking a wolverine, and at worst we could have civilian blood on our hands.
Whoa, Mr. Beta, I would wager that I understand the theories at a far higher level than most. I never said I believed that life was created in a snap of the finger, evolution makes sense, but the actual origin of something as unique as life is what I questioned. Calling my belief which is rooted...
I can personally attest to the decline of the American education system. I am a Junior in high school, and I think that the public education system should be phased out and replaced with the excellent charter school system. The charter school system is still public education, funded by the tax...
I mainly agree with all of this, except a few points. First of all, if we do not intervene wouldn't we be sending the message that chemical weapons can be used with impunity? These weapons could later get used by Assad against Israel or other U.S. allies, or be given to Iran, or get into the...
Please just take a look at my other posts before pictorally flipping me off. I think people who pray to God to save their kid instead of going five miles and getting them treated should be convicted of murder. In some cases they should be sentenced to death. (we had an interesting discussion...
you know I think a basic moral code like thou shalt not kill and thou shalt not steal is pretty important. And you still have to understand that this type of thing evolves over time. The book was written a millennium ago, but the ideas have changed to suit the present time. It's that simple. But...
I have atheist friends, and I have noticed that they are usually much more hostile towards me than any other group. Nothing against you guys, just something I've noticed. I'll be in a discussion and they will attack my intelligence (despite the fact that I am quite easily at their level)...
Most who get the death penalty are worth less to me than a postage stamp anyway. Why should they live for the rest of their life in relative comfort, with better healthcare than me, and I have to pay for it. Take Ariel Castro for example. A man that brutal should simply be removed like a...
Commando hit the nail on the head. Some people argue that it costs more to execute an inmate than a life sentence, but that is because a "life sentence" is 35 years. Natural life in prison, especially with a younger inmate can cost much more. And that's also only because the method of execution...
Irrefutable evidence. However, to serve a life sentence under protective custody in the United States penal system is like living a very strict hotel. If the crime is heinous enough, and the evidence strong enough, the perpetrator should be given justice, with death. And if a member of my family...
