February 17, 201610 yr The exaggerated comparisons on this website lately have been absolutely idiotic. Using a chainsaw to using heroin. Killing terrorists to abortion.
February 17, 201610 yr This reminds me of something I was told as a young boy...Never get into an argument with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. I saw a similar one and it looked like the shot actually removed the head and part of the spine of the targeted enemy fighter.
February 17, 201610 yr So we can make the choice to kill someone on the other side of the world but it is wrong for a woman to make a choice in her own best interests? So to you, Radical, Murdering Terrorist=innocent baby? What color is the sky in your world?
February 17, 201610 yr Author So to you, Radical, Murdering Terrorist=innocent baby? What color is the sky in your world? I suppose the same color it is for the majority of Americans according to the below thread: http://bluegrasspreps.com/controversial-issues/majority-americans-identify-322645.html
February 17, 201610 yr This thread has made me reconsider my doubts about Attention Deficit Disorder....I can't recall one that was so all over the place. Starts with snipers and weaponry, moves on somehow to abortion / rights and finishes with a lovefest compliment between two guys with limited hair follicles, but talking about comb overs. Is everyone on here drinking ?
February 17, 201610 yr I suppose the same color it is for the majority of Americans according to the below thread: http://bluegrasspreps.com/controversial-issues/majority-americans-identify-322645.html I doubt that you would find that the majority of Americans would share your view that one equals the other in this type case. If the question was asked, "which one deserves to be killed, an innocent child or a homicidal terrorist?" what do you think the split would look like?

If the question was asked, "which one deserves to be killed, an innocent child or a homicidal terrorist?" what do you think the split would look like? And deserves? Wow!!! But to answer your question on the baby apparently a majority of Americans agree with me, not you, and probably most all of us agree on the terrorists.
February 17, 201610 yr I guess this paradox/contradiction/dilemma/whatever you want to call is it a pretty good example of why it is just flat out irrational and irresponsible to summarily generalize someone's belief sets by using two words. Pro-Life? What does that mean? You are for, in support of, life? I would think that everyone is in favor of living. Pro-Choice? You support the ability to make choices? Again, seems like a pretty easy one to get behind. There are zero contradictions between being anti-abortion and supporting the war on terrorism, or supporting capital punishment. None. The only contradiction comes into play when you try to lump someones entire belief set into two words, for the sole purpose of trying to corner them into a hypocritical conclusion.

In fairness, spindoc started it in this thread. However, like you, I am trying to understand the complexities of killing another human being as seen through other's eyes.
February 17, 201610 yr Don't ask a pro-lifer to think critically. THEIR head might explode! Under normal circumstances, I would probably skim over this post and neglect to reply due to the development of the thread and time elapsed since posting. But this coming from you, is quite possible one of the more laughable things I have seen in a while. You consistently bring as much information and knowledge to the table as the latest MSNBC article. I'm convinced the majority of your opinions are formulated after reading phony Facebook articles. Yet, you are going to call out others for critical thinking? Really? Go back and look at your posts in the political forums. I'm going to take a rough estimate, and say that over 75% of what you "contribute" is nothing more that rhetorical, baseless jabs at the conservative readers. You, sir, are a true scholar with unrivaled critical thinking skills. Edited February 17, 201610 yr by HHSHOG62
February 17, 201610 yr Now you are putting words in my mouth. You equated the two when you veered the thread in this direction.
February 17, 201610 yr Author You equated the two when you veered the thread in this direction. Nice try, spindoc veered it.
February 17, 201610 yr And deserves? Wow!!! But to answer your question on the baby apparently a majority of Americans agree with me, not you, and probably most all of us agree on the terrorists. I had no question "on the baby", my question was specifically worded to encompass two types of victims, an innocent baby and a homicidal terrorist. You equated these two. I am saying that they are not equal and I believe that most would agree with me.
February 17, 201610 yr So we can make the choice to kill someone on the other side of the world but it is wrong for a woman to make a choice in her own best interests? Here is where I see you equating the two. You are correct that it was brought up earlier in the thread, though. I missed that initially.
