Does nicer wording matter?

100% agree, an apology is needed!

I could see that if it was no abortion at all. But drawing a line by saying "before proof of life is ok, but not after" didn't seem unreasonable.

In any other arena, we would consider a heartbeat to be sufficient proof of a living creature's existence. Doesn't need to be self-aware life - otherwise we wouldn't consider day-old puppies to be alive; nor blind hairless marsupials moving to their mother's pouch to continue development...

One may argue that we consider people to be dead if they have a heartbeat but no brain activity - the difference, however is such people are generally in hospital well after completion of gestation where there is no additional development that will occur. To put it brutally - the brain-dead had their chance at life, the fetus was never given the chance to begin with...

I'm sorry he was being intellectually dishonest?

Yes, it does if you want to continue participating. You don't have to agree with someone and you can hate their point of view, but you can't attack them personally even if you think they deserve it. Civility matters here or all discussions end in chaos.

Then be so kind as to edit your quote of me to fit my own edit of it. Thanks in advance.

What if you steal from a food delivery bot? They are soon appearing everywhere perhaps the temptation might prove to be too great not to take a meal? Perhaps California might pay you not to steal from a food delivery bot?

We Tried To Rob A Delivery Robot
Robots are the future of food delivery, and the temptation to steal from them is real.

More likely you would get mugged on delivery and no California won't pay me not to steal from it. At least I think so?! Maybe you just gave me a new career when I retire.

Meine Fresse, its getting worse and worse in Trumpistan. Malice of the finest. The US Taleban are hacking joyfully away at driving their stone caves deeper and deeper and deeper. Have they already made the vision for the script for The Maidens Tale part of their party program?

To make this clear, I am all for having a time criterion. But at 6 weeks we are talking about a cellular mass not more than a tiny worm of 2-3mm length.

Not before a sensory suite and a nervous system creates impulses delivered to a sufficiently complex brain there is even the slightest chance for any form of mind or awareness forming up or information computation takes place. As long as that is not the case, to me its just a clump of organic matter.


You cannot play Gran Turismo if you have no playstation, no controller and no TV.

Trump? According to the pothead working from his garage it’s the Democrats who are willingly allowing it to happen then they just turn around and blame everyone else. Tim Cain and Hilliary promoted and campaigned an anti-abortion platform when they ran in 2016. Now they’re raking in millions in donations to fight against something they’re responsible for happening. Voters just don’t know any better.

Gawd I can't even try to watch that! Please make the Clinton's and Trump fall into a great crack opening in the crust of the Earth. Meanwhile I have to start making plans to steal food from robots....

EDIT: And what's wrong with pot? The insurrection on January 6th wouldn't have happened if people started smoking joints in the mall. It would have been a love in with daisies handed out and dancing....

Rockstar, there doesn't need to be a conviction to call it an insurrection anymore than it needs a conviction to call a dead body a victim of a rape and murder. I thought of that when I was getting stoned stalking a food robot I suddenly had an urge to rob.

That's an essential truth. Well put, Buddahaid.

Thats the most disgusting display of cynism and dispising of a human being that I have red or heard in a very long time. Shame.


Btw,
traumatization was a special field of mine, i dealt with torture victims from the Balkans. What you say is in the way you set up and/or ignore contexts and circumstances, wrong and i am convinced an intentional lie. Shame again.

Don't forget your $300 bonus for not shooting anyone practicing your new career and if you keep your automated culinary thievery under $950 you won't get prosecuted
