  49.  Mendoza Juan  Embryology and biology have not determined that is a human infant. The fact that you even used the term "infant" reveals how little you understand to begin with. "Life" isn't a set thing; its exact boundaries are unclear. The Catholic Church believes that a zygote just after conception is equivalent to a human life, but doesn't explain on what basis it makes that claim. Bacteria are "alive", are we all committing involuntary manslaughter by destroying millions of them every second, then? No- it's about human life? Okay, then what defines that? A cell with human DNA? What happens when in-vitro fertilization fails, should the doctor be sent to prison for involuntary manslaughter, too? Are the parents accomplices? Yes, no? If yes, then people that can't naturally get pregnant are taking a huge gamble when deciding whether to have children, right? If no, then what is human life? You conservatives don't seem to understand- the things that seem obvious, upon close inspection, aren't at all. It's like your arm: look at it, touch it. Seems pretty real, right? Solid, even. Look closer. It's full of pores, and dead skin cells constantly being recycled. Not so solid and your skin is constantly becoming 'another set' of skin. Look even closer. It's made of molecules, none of which are 'skin', mostly water. Go even deeper, it's all atoms and nothing's even touching. 99% of atoms are empty space. So, how exactly is your arm solid and real, when only 1% of it is material? Same with life. There is no set, objective definition. "Life" is a human label which generally works, but fails with specifics. So, we instead look at what's moral: if a thing cannot feel pain, then 'hurting' or 'killing' it is impossible. So, before the embryo's nerve cells develop at about 22 weeks, abortion is legal.

  95.  SirVixIsVexed  LOL LOL LOL LOL Am I speaking with a person, or a broken record player? It doesn't really help your credibility, if you were looking to convince me of anything. You remind me of me, at 12. Anyway, "LOL So what?!" So, a justification is all you need. Irrespective of religion, history has shown us that religious dogma has little impact on the behavior of any single adherent. Conquistadors slaughtered millions of natives who resisted the spread of Christianity throughout the Americas. Secular ideas haven't fared much better. Stalinism and Maoism have eradicated tens of millions and warped entire societies. Why can't you understand that the capacity for murder and conquest is not bound or even amplified by religion? Even Buddhists have committed (rather, are committing) genocide, in Myanmar. Scriptural text can and will be interpreted to a society's will. Islam is no exception to that. You ignored the fact that they were capable of maintaining stable, peaceful societies on their own. Needlessly? You're making a strange distinction— which areas did the Muslims need to conquer? Why did Europe need to conquer that land? "Taking back" is bullshit. Just because a region has people practicing your religion, doesn't make it yours. The Middle East wasn't even a part of Europe geographically. To be frank, I found that last part rich, considering how much of the world Christian Europe would go on to conquer, colonize, and ruin. As for the Westboro Baptist church, stop dodging. My point wasn't their scope, but the capacity for people to become extreme regardless of ideology. I'm aware that all countries currently issuing capital countries are Muslim. Australia and Britiain did the same not long ago. Again, religion plays a smaller part than historical context. And as for your last thing, I don't even know what to say. That's just completely the opposite of true. It's leftists that try to justify Islam being a 'normal' religion. It's usually rightists who can't see it as anything but a death cult, which certainly won't encourage Muslims to see your side of the story. They're doing the grueling work of de-radicalizing an entire Tori tomb religion, so please let them get to work. If you wanna keep speeding garbage go ahead, but we need to finish up. This either goes somewhere or it doesn't.

  168. Thanks for answering, but your reply is disappointing, to say the very least. As I wrote before, I don't remember the name of the place. Private dealers may have changed de facto policy now, but this was well before Sandy Hook, at a Polish-owned arms & blackpowder dealer. No questions asked, my relative just bought two long guns, showed ID, paid, and left. The only regulation I could find in Wisconsin's stipulations to private guns sales were as follows: 'Wis. Stat. § 948.60, et seq: May not transfer firearms to anyone under the age of 18, or otherwise prohibited under state law.' It's important to note the legal grey area of not mentioning federal law, despite its precedence over state, in writing. Private dealers don't need to disclose sales anyway, but it even allows for plausible deniability should a licensed dealer 'forget' to ask the customer to fill out a 4473 form, because (and I can't believe I have to tell you this) the law is not pristinely followed. Plenty of children are taught creationism in schools, weed is sold in stores in Colorado. Need I say more? I'll, for the final time, repeat this in detail to get it through your thick skull. The 'gunshow loophole,' as it is referred to, is a flaw in the regulatory reach of the U.S. government. Private dealers, at gunshows, don't need to have a FFL, or ask a customer to fill out a form. The law states thusly: '(a) It shall be unlawful- (1) for any person- (A) except a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer, to engage in the business of importing, manufacturing, or dealing in firearms, or in the course of such business to ship, transport, or receive any firearm in interstate or foreign commerce; ...' The problem with that statement is, there is legal room to spare with the phrase 'engage in the business of.' There is no system in place to make sure that private dealers know who they're selling to, or for the federal government, with its statutes, to evaluate which unlicensed persons are selling arms at quantities, frequencies, and within the boundaries of 'engaged in the business of.' Assuming a busybody could instantly know the life story of a dealer, know that they're selling in legal limbo, and sue them for that, every time it happened, then the system would work fine. It doesn't work like that. A crazy person (or a Chicago gang member) goes out of state, and goes to a gunshow. The dealer, not being required to do a background check (only federally licensed, not private, dealers need to have you fill out a 4473 form), has no probable cause not to sell to a customer and doesn't want to stall the sale. He sells, crazy man has a gun. Crazy man kills people. In a normal country, the government would institute a tighter check on private gun dealers, requiring them to send all sales through a FFL specialist, background check and all. Even those who still don't comply would be deterred by the possibility that, if he sells to a murderer, and the sale is traced back to him, he could go to jail. Deterrent. In the U.S., however, whenever a teenager goes and shoots up his school, the NRA swoops in saying "not all gun owners!" and Fox News tells you "let's not focus on the politics," and the private dealer never gets found out. No deterrent, so the (theoretically) massive amount of untraceable sales aren't incentivized to check their customers. Keep on shootin', y'all! That is the loophole. No requirement to check, because no laws to check. Got it?
